//The 62-year-old is said to have been found unconscious and not breathing at the Novotel Hotel in Stevenage, Hertfordshire, on Friday night. He was taken to Lister Hospital in Stevenage, Hertfordshire, where he remains.//

I know the Police can be heavy handed but....

Its a "fear for welfare" incident apparently.

The dog looked safe though.

There will be a section of our community, as always a microcosm of the world outside, who will wish nothing but pain and suffering to Mr Bennell, but we must remember that he has been tried, convicted and sentenced for his crimes, and is currently at liberty on licence.

Whatever our feelings about his actions, he is still entitled to the protection of the law, and to go about his daily life untroubled by anyone who feels like taking the law into their own hands.

I agree with what you say Andy.

But I want the people in the football clubs, like Crewe Alexander, and Newcastle, and the FA, who knew what was going on but still did nothing to be brought to account.

Everyday more and more men are coming forward with stories of how they were abused by Bennell and others, involved in Football.

Bennell, who also worked for Manchester City, Stoke and junior teams in north-west England and the Midlands, was given a four-year sentence for raping a British boy on a football tour of Florida in 1994 and a nine-year sentence in 1998 for 23 offences against six boys in England.
He was jailed for a third time in 2015 after admitting abusing a boy at a 1980 football camp in Macclesfield.

These people can not be rehabilitated yet continue to get weak sentences and go on and on to re-offended

[mikey4444]

Orderlimit....sickening though I find the crimes of people like Bennell, I can find no evidence that he continued to offend after his first conviction.

The people that need to start owning up, are the Clubs and the FA that allowed him to continue to attack these boys, after they were told of his offending.

Yep , count me in. Very right-on of you AH.

[andy-hughes]

YMB - It's not a matter of being 'right on' - and taking part of my post out of context infers that I agree with your view.

I don't.

[andy-hughes]

News media now advises that Mr Bennell may have tried to commit suicide.

Shall we take all the "Shame he didn't manage it ... / I'll help him out next time ... Death's too good for him ..." messages as read, and save us all some time?

I have started a new thread in News ::::

Baldric - can we look forward to your non-participation then?

[Baldric]

Wouldn't count on it Andy.
