    It’s sexual assault, clear as day - should be a lifetime ban - not sure why the 2 ladies didn’t go to the Police, as there were plenty of witnesses - do we know which country this was in ?

    Dreadful, disgusting behaviour 
    Yes, it was sexual assault - but if you can't work out for yourself why the victims were reluctant to go to the police, I suggest you ask Ladyflashheart for some pointers!!

    I would certainly think twice about going to the police even in this country over a similar assault, knowing how the system works in England where victims are required to turn over their phones for months to prove they were not messaging the perpetrator before the incident, and criticised for what they were wearing as being provocative, etc, etc - never mind in a different country where I probably don't speak the language and have no idea of police culture over such matters.

    I sincerely hope the victims are able to retain their anonymity, because if their names get spread by the grapevine there will always be some unreconstructed neanderthals who will regard them as either trouble makers or fair game, to the detriment of their future professional careers.  


    Fair points, well made

    Another superb signing by our leadership team.

    Should be banned for life.
    What did he do?
    Seriously molested two girls, and you think it is funny that it is commented that he must be mates with Joey Barton?
    Remind me of when Joey Barton committed a crime(s) of this nature.

    Absolutely shocking. Our very own Rubiales or Trump - only worse. 
    I sincerely hope the two women victims are able to go on and have long and successful careers in the game despite this.

    As Louis Mendez has said on Twitter, there are questions for the club and the FA about who knew what when. 

    Especially if the club knew his behaviour and the charges, and have allowed him to work at Sparrows Lane with shared facilities with the Womens team, or the FA kept the club in the dark, and the duty of care issues there.

    I have no idea about Joey Barton.

    It all sounds rather disgusting.

    And what was the bit about letting him apologise all about? Who sanctioned that FFS??

    That's a really poorly trained and clueless course leader. Reflects badly on the FA. Sadly if I think of all the course leaders I've come across most of the male ones would have let this happen.

    the course was abroad, do we know if it was an FA course?

    I'm assuming from the detail and that the complaint was made to FA then it must be an FA/FA sanctioned course

    I can think of nothing worse than being sexually assaulted and then being made to listen to an apology from him IN PERSON. Jesus that course leader helped him to get extra ‘good points’ on his mitigation FFS.

    don't want to detract from the awfulness of the issue but would Senda not be registered/regulated by the FA as they are our governing body hence why the complaint was passed to them? Not saying it wasn't an FA sanctioned course but don't want to go blaming them for things if it wasn't.

    A very fair point
  • I think a statement by the club is now necessary. If they were aware of the allegations and allowed him to continue to work then that’s very disappointing.

    I'm hoping the reason we haven't had one is that they were surprised by it all but the longer we wait the less likely that seems
  • Here until Holden got the boot. Roughly 2 months after the incident and admittance I think.

    incident in June, interviewed by FA 26.07 by which point he'd already admitted guilt, left the club 31st August, a seemingly unrelated sacking. Club do have questions to answer.

    I suppose it could just be  possible the club were only made aware in the window of July to August and then sacked him when they learnt more but tied it publicly to Holden leaving ?

    Maybe they were limited in what they could say whilst the investigation process was ongoing?

    Do we know he wasn’t suspended when it was first alerted to them by the FA?

    Until the club say we can’t know. 

    The management at Charlton should account for themselves whatever. 
  • Not saying I agree with this, but maybe the club took an innocent until proven guilty approach to this? And his sacking in August was entirely football related.

    However disgusting the allegations (as they were at the time) were, they weren't directly connected to his job.

    After all we continued playing Karlan Grant while he was being investigated for rape. Indeed it took nearly 4 years for the charges against Karlan and Reeco to be dropped, during which time he attracted decent transfer fees.
  • I think a statement by the club is now necessary. If they were aware of the allegations and allowed him to continue to work then that’s very disappointing.
    Also, did the club not ask why he was sent home early from the course? Surely they were informed if they had sent him?

    I cannot believe any instance where the FA became aware and Charlton not informed of the allegations almost immediately. 

    He could well have been suspended at that point, and then dismissed with Holden, and no one outside the club were wise to him being suspended in the interim.  

    But…,if he DID continue working during that period then many people would know about it.

    I don’t know why he wasn’t suspended until the trial  was over, and a verdict given?

    Fair play for the two ladies to have the courage to bring it to light, it’s a horrible thing for them to have to go through, also drags our name through the mud, makes us wonder if he’d done previous, I thought we were a family club.

    I have no idea what the bloke is like when he isn't pissed up and sexually assaulting women so can't speak for his character 

    What this did catapult into my head was how, with stress and alcohol it can really bring out some insane behaviour in the people you expect it the least from. A guy I used to work with did this (not in the same league as what this bloke has done) on a Christmas drink, he had got blitzed, it was in his local too and had made some mental comments to the barmaid and a waitress, culminating in him making a grab for one of the barmaids and me having to carry him home like a baby, dead weight, like a puppet who had its strings cut. His wife had been knobbing around as it happened and the stress of that, combined with an impending Christmas in a house where someone you knew had been cheating on you, with the worry of all that coupled with a lot of booze very quickly bought out a demon in him. He also didn't remember a thing about it. 

    Allowing him to apologise to the girls in person is typical moronic attempt at conflict resolution by people who have never felt trapped by someone else's misbehaviour. 

    Punishment seems fair, he won't work in football again now. It sends a message behaviour like that won't be tolerated, charges can't be realistically pressed given the location so whilst that's shit I understand it.

    Was it mentioned before, maybe by @Swisdom that he had a habit of being pretty brutal with the youth players?
    Mates with Joey Barton?
    That’s not funny
    Making a joke about a serious sexual asult is not funny, Danny Senda is lucky not to get a custodial term, if that happened in this country it probably been. Your're better than that ElfsborgAddick, I just hope that you'd had a few drinks before making such a crass statement. If not hang your head in shame.

    I take it he did not buy his wife a Christmas present.
