Leicester players granted bail.

[apb1979]

The 3 Leicester players have been granted bail, but if they cant come up with the money for bail they will have to spend another night in jail

[RobPa]

if it was 3 leicester fanbs i still think it wud be a different story altogether

[A-teen_six_T3]

i agree with you there boppa, its the same ols storie that if youre famous or whatever (cus they arent particuly that famous are they) you do get treated differently, the legal system does really suck

IF they cant get the money, course they can get the money, they're profesional footballers in the premiership, they're bound to be on a good wage

So, when they make bail, will Adams play them? More to the point, should he play them? He needs them but it's a tough call. Look what's happened to Leeds since the Woodgate/Bower/Duberry fiasco.

It might not be exaggerating to suppose that this could be the beginning of the end of the road for Leicester. They only escaped administration by the skin of their teeth last year . If they get relegated (likely ATM) they could nosedive or collapse altogether.

Has there been any comment by Goldenbollocks BTW?

[JoeinOz]

I'd be surprised if they are in any fit state to play. Not for a few weeks anyway.

Is Goldenbollocks Lineker?

[Lakeland Potter]

I don't honestly think the Leicester players have received special treatment as regards bail. The criteria for bail are:

1. Are they likely to offend whilst on bail?

2. Are they likely to return to court to face trial?

3. Can they afford bail?

As regards 1. - I would imagine they will be highly unlikely to get themselves in the same situation whilst facing trial. And they certainly won't be committing any offences in Spain.

As regards 2. - The club will make damned sure they attend trial - if they don't then it is unlikely that Spain would ever allow British clubs to go there again to play or train.

As regards 3. - We all know they can afford it.

Why should Adams not sign them. Am I missing something,have they been convicted of the offence.?

The rights or wrongs of this case will be decided at a later date

But for the Spanish authorities holding the players was proving increasingly embarrassing, as 'questions' started to be asked by by the 'popular' press in this country as the tabloids did their usual trick of changing stance half-way.

Questions and articles of the conditions within Spanish prisons and the Spanish goverment ,who face an election within a few days had already started to appear

Spain's a country who relies heavily on the wealth of people in this country for much of it's income and to sustain countless jobs in the tourist trade.

The news was also big news in Spain and threatening to become a thorn and an embarressement at home and further afield ,people shouldn't under estimate the world-wide publicity that the Premiership attracts.

On a horrible day for Madrid,it's people and indeed much of Spain, the Spanish authorities had an opportunity to temporarily get rid of one of their 'diplomatic problems' whilst the world's eyes and press focused on far more series news....

It therefore came as no surprise to me that the Spanish authorities came to the decission they did yesterday.....

It was a day to bury bad news

My thoughts today are with the people of Madrid....who looked after me with warmth and kindness following being attacked in their city whilst following England years ago.....and not with over paid footballers

Moorlander, Adams doesn't need to sign them - they are already Leicester players!
