Would people still be so keen to sack the player if it was McAtee or Taylor, and not the second choice right back?

Where I use to work, we had someone that had a drink problem, and came to work drunk. He was suspended by the company, and sent to rehabilitation, that the company paid for. He was kept on, on the understanding that he was tested regularly, and if he started drinking again he would be sacked. He never failed a test and turned his life around. There is some compassionate companies out there that care about their work force, and I would like to think our new owners would show a little more compassion, and help him get his life back on track. Nobody on here knows what has made him act in this way, they just want to be judge and jury. All he may need is a little help, not throwing on the scrap heap.
There's a big difference between being an alcoholic and driving after 5 pints. One needs help, the other needs to grow up and stop being a selfish girl private

Tony Adams is a prime example of not throwing someone under the bus . What Ryan did was totally out of order and we don't know if this was a one off which no doubt he bitterly regrets. If it was a one off then we shouldn't sack him we don't know . That is the club to investigate and act which ever way they feel .

There are many top class players that had a drink problem.
Gazza. Best . Robson to name a few. Sears was an idiot to drive his car and staying out to after 4-00am is not you would expect from a professional footballer.
BUT
As long as he realises what might have happened and is truly apologetic I would give him another chance to redeem himself.
He is not our 1st choice full back but he needs to keep himself ready for when we need him and staying out drinking to that time of the morning is not what we would except again.

Little bit of perspective served up last night. Benzema, sentenced the previous day for being complicit in blackmailing a fellow teammate, plays (and scores)
What Ryan did was absolutely dangerous, foolish, and obviously criminal... But lets not get ahead of ourselves with this 'he's brought the club into disrepute', that is simply ridiculous. Especially considering the last 20 years!

It’s not about the clubs reputation. Anyone who aspires to be a successful athlete shouldn’t be out boozing to 4am ever.

Why? Is he not allowed to blow off some steam every now and then?

FFS if players stuck to that the FA would have to change the rules to 5-a-side
