First off, happy birthday @Bulletspur . Thanks for all your effort in the match threads.
Secondly, what a window this is shaping up to be, possibly the most enjoyable ever.

Has to be said, the Hades chap on Twitter has to be viewed as almost gospel atm when it comes to lodge dealings.

Also, very impressive from Spurs that news on Bissouma has only leaked at this late stage due to a mole at the lodge. No other itk’s or media had any idea we were this close to the move, Paratici is exceptional at working in the dark?

I can imagine Paratici being like “goddamnit” when he checked the Spurs ITK Hub on Twitter last night

This should probably be taken to the Bissouma thread, it's not for here. ?Thanks arunspurs for your very reasonable response.
The facts aren't known to anyone at this stage outside of the police investigation. Clearly Bissouma is being very specifically accused by the alleged victim, he remains under investigation after 8 months and has had his bail extended at least three times to my knowledge.
I'm sure the club has taken legal advice and would either feel that after this length of time the chances of the case being prosecuted are very slim or perhaps they can easily put in clauses in his contract which would void it in the event of his being found guilty?
The percentage of reported sexual assaults which go on to be prosecuted is staggeringly small while the vast majority of offences are never reported in the first place. It's extremely hard to prove and is almost always going to come down to his word against hers. I believe that statistically you have a 97.5% chance of getting away with sexual assault.
Amongst the thousands of reported incidents of course there will be cases where the victim is lying. My personal opinion is that they will be in the vast minority. I also believe that for someone to still be under investigation after 8 months means that the police investigating the allegation believe the victim. They are unlikely to have the evidence they need to prosecute if they haven't already done so and so the CPS will almost certainly not take it further.
I don't know if Bissouma is guilty or innocent and he shouldn't face criminal charges without evidence of wrong doing. But probablitistically speaking, I think Bissouma is likely guilty of sexual assault, but he is in virtually no danger of getting prosecuted for it. I was just curious if I was the only person bothered by this. I guess I got my answer from the responses to my post
