A bit left field this but do the Eds or any of the posters know what the current situation is with Sigurdsson?

{Ed002's Note - Sigurdsson will leave in the summer.}

I agree Woburn but I was wondering when the police will make a decision whether to prosecute or not, Whether we managed to negotiate a reduced salary while he can't play for us and is suspended and whether there are factors we need to consider at the end of his contract

At the end of the day he is still innocent in the eyes of the law but he and us are suffering until it is resolved.

Well as the police are involved bw I am sure it won’t be done anytime soon.
I wonder if they sent the club a “sorry for your loss” letter. ?.

"He and us that are suffering"

Seriously? He and us are far from the victim.

I think he has been bailed until April, BW, I'd expect him to be either charged or exonerated at that point. Be crazy to extend his bail yet again.

If he's cleared do we have any recourse? Lost a player who may well have been sold or loaned or played and scored some vital goals this season. Seems the club has been dealt a tough hand. Surely these situations must be considered in contracts? The longer it goes on the more it looks like a flakey case if any. Surely if he was guilty and evidence was there, he'd have been dealt with by now?

I apologise FChris if you are inferring I should have included the young girl involved and her family in the victims. I did not mean any offense excluding them and understand your feelings.

The police arrested Siggy in July last year but as yet, over six months on, have not pressed charges which can't be acceptable to Siggy or the alleged victims. We don't know the full details but I find it difficult to believe it needed to take this long.

Everton don't face the prospect of jail or the accused being found not guilty which some could say is the main consequence but we will have lost the use of Siggy for a whole season, possibly will have paid him £7million in wages (unless we negotiated a reduction when we suspended him) and lost any value he could have had for the team this season

It's a mess for Siggy and his family, the victim and her family and Everton and the longer it drags on increases the pain to those involved.

If police have seized electronics it can take 6 months to get back deleted data, so I wouldn't be reading anything into the 6 months of silence just yet.

TomTom272 correct but also been told he won't be charged.

Ah OK, I haven't heard anything about charges!

I have been told.

What have you been told then, DFS? The last I read was that he was to answer his bail in April after it was extended a few months ago. Even Mendy from city was bailed so it's no indication of whether he is guilty or not.
If all charges are dropped, would we even want him back for the last month? His contact is up this summer as well, I doubt we will see him in a blue shirt again.
