As they should. It’s far too easy to accuse and ruin somebodies life and it not actually be true. It’s sad, and it takes away from the women that have genuinely been assaulted but it’s happened before. If they are proven guilty, the clubs should be able to sue them for any wages during the investigation and for loss of what ever their commercial value may have been, and no club should want to touch them with a barge pole. Sadly this will never be the case as we’ve seen with Greenwood (yeah yeah he was never proven guilty, only because she dropped the case and got back with him, we all know).
Greenwood case was slightly different, his accusation was domestic abuse and evidence of his behaviour was released to the public. There wasn't an accusation of rape, only an implication that he became aggressive and violent when his sexual advances were rejected.
Logic does dictate that with domestic abuse does come rape, however without his fiancee releasing a statement accusing of him rape, his case wouldn't fit the narrative the BBC is attempting to display.
