I'm with x isle on this. A very uncomfortable discussion and not something I think should be on the main forum. But then where do you put it.
From my point of view, criminally he's clean, but the civil action has gone against him. Which is a down mark but not a critical black mark against him.
Has he bought the club into disrepute? I don't think so. All these actions come from before he joins the club.
It is down to what he does next and what the legal bods at Argyle say. Even then it's now a legal mine field that that Argyle find themselves in. But given that the potential ruling was known a few months ago (he was warned to put the money aside) those with the legal knowledge should have been giving Argyle advise about what to expect.
