Oh dear! That's worse! At least losing Jones wasn't a problem. If it was one of our defenders then it is obvious who, and he is/was one of our best players.
The club must KNOW who it was, because the players clearly know. Keeping quiet simply won't hack it. Waiting for the police, or Hallam Hope not to press charges (which is more than likely, unless he can sue our man), is no good. We have to act responsibly and that is going to involve sacking the player and reporting the facts in full to the FA.
Long-term consequence, another promotion thrown away.
