The JFF and Mr Mason Greenwood

[Jangle]

We expect that views will be split on either side of the expression of interest in English striker Mr Mason Greenwood by the Jamaica Football Federation (JFF).

Those opposed to any such development will point to the fact that Mr Greenwood was last year dropped by his club, Manchester United, and by the English national team after he was charged with one count of attempted rape, a count of assault, and repeatedly engaging in controlling and coercive behaviour. They would also likely remind that the JFF had, some years ago, made an unsuccessful attempt to woo Mr Greenwood to Jamaica's senior national team.

People who would support the 21-year-old footballer's inclusion in Jamaica's national team will probably advance the argument that Mr Greenwood has not been found guilty of the charges. In fact, the Crown Prosecution Service last Thursday said the charges would no longer be pursued after "key witnesses" had withdrawn co-operation and "new material came to light". Against that background, the prosecution said "There was no longer a realistic prospect of conviction," and as such they "are under a duty to stop the case".

Get him !

Interesting view. It would be nice to see what Manu does.

[Rockman]

OJ, if Man U puts Greenwood on the market today, interest will come from all the top clubs, he is going to be playing so why not at his club?
I would love for him to play for Jamaica,the nature of the crime is different but he wasn't convicted as was the case of Jaimie "Turbo" Lawrence , and of course, Turbo is one of my favorite former....

[Jangle]

To continue playing in England, he's going to need a strong mental fortitude. With the support of his club, he can continue and fulfill on his immense talent.

[OJ]

I think we need to understand something. The fact he was not charged does not mean info on the case did not leak out. I dont think he will be ever called by the English FA again.

JFF didn't need to make desperate plea right now. All they have to do it reach out to Greenwood privately and also watch how it plays out. Manu is doing the right thing. I think they will keep him but not use him for the rest of this term. Ten hag will send him on a personal fitness plan. Also remember he had problem at Manu before and with England team so he will have to curb his attitude under this coach.

[USAF]

Mason Greenwood is a very talented young man who would be an big asset to the RaggaeBoyz, BUT before going all in for him, the JFF should make sure they won't have problems getting a visa for him to play away games, Gold Cup and the World Cup.

[Jangle]

I don’t think him getting a visa to travel anywhere would be a problem as he’s not been convicted of any crime.

yes he has not even been charged official so Visa is not the issue. Its more of an ethical issue.

[USAF]

Jangle!!! You're looking at this from a practical stand point, BUT you should know that a lot of advocate groups don't look at things that way. A lot of them think that if you were charged with a crime you're guilty of something. Greenwood's charges were sexual & physical abuse of a female, and that is a hot-button topic with the top 3 federations in CONCACAF (CSA, USSF & FMF). All 3 federations have recently been accused of not taking sexual & physical abuse of female players seriously, and not doing enough to prevent it.

[Jangle]

Oh well that’s that.

I dont know why we put ourselves in that position to be rejected publicly.
