I heard they released a statement shortly after but just read it on your post instead. What happens from here? They just let this big go as the above? One word against another? Or could Sunderland be in trouble if they're found out to be the liars? Same applies to Johnson if he's full of it?

Speaking of depressing things, It's 0-0 at Stoke and we're playing the tested 9-0-1 formation. |
I would think the statement Sunderland have made is all fact. I would find it highly unlikely they would've kept him on if they knew he was going to plead guilty but you can see why Johnson would lie to them to keep on playing and earning a wage. Surely the club would know the repercussions of employing someone who has admitted to child abuse? Why would they risk keeping him?
