What's that? 

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and his crooked agent protected Babacar Sarr, a man with 6 rape allegations against him and helped him get out of the county to avoid charges.

 

Sarr was accused of rape in 2015 whilst at his previous club, but that didn’t stop Ole Gunnar Solskjaer from signing him. Or stop Jim Solbakken from brokering the deal. In 2016, Whilst playing for Molde a further 4 women claimed to have been raped by Sarr.  Including one of these women giving birth to his child. Despite this, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer made him Molde captain on multiple occasions, continued to play him when available and praise him in the media.

 

He was acquitted in 2018, but ordered to pay compensation to the victims the prosecution appealed, Sarr then refused to give a blood sample, a new court date was set for February 2019. Just a month before Sarrs second criminal trial was due to happen, Molde managed by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer conveniently released Sarr from his contract with 2 years left on it. 

 

The Trial goes on. Sarr doesn’t turn up in court. A warrant is put out for his arrest. Jim Solbakken moves Sarr to a Yenisey Krasnoyarsk in Russia. Norway hasn’t got an extradition treaty with Russia so nothing can be done to get him back to Norway to face charges.
 

Just 4 hours after Sarr was declared internationally wanted via Interpol for failure to appear in court. And being accused of yet another rape in June 19. Jim Solbakken moves Sarr to Damac. In Saudi Arabia. A country which is outside of Interpols control.

 

So as if now, Sarr is still internationally wanted whilst still playing football. Thanks to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and one of his best friends/business partner.

 

Molde also stopped an anti rape banner being brought into the stadium. At least 4 Norwegian clubs fans put up anti rape banners in games against Molde. Two clubs took banners to Molde home games and were denied entry, forced to show ID police, then told they were banned for life from Molde’s stadium.
 

Various sources suggest that the police were effectively acting as paid security for the club whilst this was going on to stop banners getting in. Norwegian football expected Molde to suspended Sarr, but he was still constantly selected and sometimes even captain under Ole.

 

Ole was asked about this by a journalist and lost his shit –

Journalist : “Is it right for you to select Sarr?” 

Ole: “So far we have let him play and that is what the club stands for, We have chosen to trust the player”

Journalist: What do you think about it? 

Ole: “(getting pissed off at this point) Ok, That’s it, Let’s talk about the game.  You can ask the boy (Sarr) how the club has supported him”

(Knowing full well Sarr couldn’t give interviews at this point)

 

Not long after this.   Sarrs 6th alleged rape was reported.  An hour away from where Molde had just had their end of season party in Oslo. Somewhere Sarr wouldn’t have even been if it wasn’t for Molde and Ole allowing him to continue playing.

 

One of Sarrs alleged victims did an interview with the Norwegian media – “It is difficult to see that the life of Babacar Sarr goes on as if nothing has happened. He continues as a football professional, while I’m here and take the whole load”

 

Sarr is still currently wanted with his trial postponed until they can get him out of Saudi Arabia. Was playing for Darmac in Saudi Arabia as recently as a month ago.

 

As a last note on Sarr. 

Whilst Jim Solbakken was moving Sarr from Russia to Saudi Arabia, Ole was interim manager at United.  So United were negotiating with him at this time and one would think they would be aware of the situation.

 

Now. A bit more on Jim Solbakken. And his history with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and United. 

Jim Solbakken is one of Ole Gunnar Solskjaers best friends, godfather to one of his children (that played vs United in pre season), his agent of 20+ years and “former” business partner.

In 2009 Ole was forced to “sell” his stake in his joint company with Jim Solbakken by the FA due to a conflict of interest.  A Norwegian newspaper has reported that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has money stashed away in offshore accounts, wonder where from?

 

Now where do United come into this? 

In 2009 Manchester United signed Mame Biram Diouf from Molde. It was later allegedly found out that Jim Solbakken had helped fake Dioufs playing record in order to enhance his chances of getting a work permit. 
 

He was also allegedly representing United, Molde and the player himself in this deal. According to this source, SAF had never seen him play. Diouf hardly played in the first team at Manchester United, but did play a lot of reserve games. Guess who was Man Uniteds reserves manager?

It's the sound of resignation/acceptance that it's going to happen regardless of what she does in the sound clip that's the worst bit.

 

I know football is the least important part of this story but Southgate decided/agreed to leave him out of the England squad until some time in 2022 back in early November.

 

Did the FA/Manchester United already know about this and if so did Utd decide to continue playing him regardless?

Good point. I suspect Southgate knew he was a toerag who would be a bad influence on his golden boy Foden so decided to fuck him off indefinitely.

They surely would have been aware of rumours of his misbehaviour earlier than that. I was referencing them more than a year ago:

Quite possibly, i wasn't aware of anything this bad until today and immediately thought back to accusations that the FA were being unfair to him or shielding him last year.

 

Always thought he seemed a bit of a spoiled prick and the Iceland incident added to that (think Foden's a bit weird as well), but didn't think it was that bad.

Some crazy posts are going down on Redcafe trying to defend Greenwood...

Quote

The optics are bad for Mason but the girl is being deceptive and manipulative.

Observations:
1.The blood is fake.
2. The audio does not confirm rape as many think, just confirms rudeness and anger issues. I am certain the full audio recording vindicates Mason.
3. Because the girl used fake blood in one of the photos, it's only right to suspect that the other images and audio are likely manipulated.
4. The girl has a weak case, and she is trying to concoct one.

Prediction:
- The girl will go for a feminism angle with aim to kill off Mason
- Mason's team might go for the race angle: another white girl (of no professional trade) taking advantage of a troubled young black athlete

Predicted verdict:
- It will be established, that like many black athletes, Mason is a young troubled lad and deserves another chance.
- The girl will get a few pounds to buy her a house, will continue as an IG model or go on a few of those reality TV shows.

Jesus, where do you start with that? 

 

 

To be fair, that is in the minority, most on there are condemning him and say he's done at the club.

[dockers_strike]

rooney looks more like Sinbad from Brookie every day and especially as he's shaved his hipster beard off.

[Oh Buoy]

Good on her for coming out with this. 

 

Hope there's more to throw the fucking book library at him. 

[VERBAL DIARRHEA]

What a fucking horrible bastard he is, of that there is no doubt.

Her family are quite wealthy, so the usual trick of turning up with a bag of money hoping it all goes away and becomes a ‘misunderstanding’ isn’t available to them this time.  
 

And in weird timing I was out for a walk with my daughter this morning and she was talking about her classmates. She mentioned Woody whose sister goes out with Mason Greenwood.  

[Bjornebye]

Some of the comments on this are beyon the pale. Almost as bad as Strontz trying to take some sort of credit for something over it.

There is a wider issue here than just Mason Greenwood, that probably applies to all young academy footballers. The modern academies clearly do a good job in terms of educating these lads so if they don’t make it in football they have qualifications to fall back on, but there appears to be little in the way of moral guidance or guidance on how to handle the transition from pennies to earning several thousand pound per week.
 

The relatively successful prospects find themselves in situations where they have money to burn by their standards, girls desperate for their attention, usually the wrong sorts of hangers-on as mates, and people generally blowing smoke up their arse about their abilities. That’s where they need some input about bearing responsibility, and not turning into self-entitled little twats with a sense they are untouchable whatever they do.

 

At Liverpool, the lads moving up to train with the first team have men like Klopp, Salah, Mane, Milner and Hendo who are great examples of being more than just a footballer. At other clubs, I suspect they move up into playing circles that aren’t too far off Greenwood’s behaviour. 

 

 

 

[TD_LFC]

We've also got a cap on the amounts young players earn haven't we?

 

Don't think that insulates the club from this kind of problem as we had a case of it only a few years ago but hopefully it helps.

The first thing Rapey Ron did when Nani and Anderson signed for UTD was organise an orgy for them…

Yeah, I’ve made it sound like we are a shining example when we’re not. I do think having men like that to look up to gives our lads a chance though. Especially when you see what’s happened previously with Flanagan, Ibe going off the rails (albeit not in an abusive way to women) and even Elliot’s stupid angry texts to his girlfriend.

Crazy late equaliser for Derby there. Rooney's hair bloody hell 

[Pidge]

Well done Derby. That was a fun match.

[Bobby Hundreds]

I'm going to hell but from the back Rooney looks like a middle aged Down syndrome fella. I'll greet the devil as an equal.

[dockers_strike]

Entertaining game derby v cardiff. Officials missed a few incidents as there's no VAR. Derby's equaliser may have been ruled out if there was but, they'd also have got a pen when a goal bound shot was deflected over the bar by a cardiff hand.

 

45 minutes else Mo is coming home early.

[Edward.]

Greenwood not going to be involved in training etc until further notice.

Despite how little is said in the statement it's quite strong from Utd, if they had any doubt you'd expect to see the usual 'player strongly denies and looks forward to being able to clear his name' comment.

 

The fact they've just come out and said he's going to have no involvement with the club for the foreseeable future is damning

Good news so far today in afcon....

Feels like they were well aware of the reality.
