If Paul Hurst signs a player who a few years ago told Coventry fans he was leaving (he wasn't, but they sacked him anyway) whilst talking about his 'heavy' pockets and taking drugs on camera, then this excuse that he misses out on signings because he'll 'only sign the right characters' is blown right out of the water.
In fact, some people on here are going to be really struggling to come up with reasons as to why we haven't signed a striker yet if this idiot gets a shirt.
That video doesn't look very good does it but then we all do stupid stuff when we are young, but his actions got thrust into the limelight because he was a pro footballer at a decent club. But, if we are looking at him, the wider picture doesn't look great does it when we consider Jordan Maguire-Drew arrived here in rather questionable circumstances too.

Gibson came in for a pile of crap on here because of his antics.

People change, people learn, and people grow. Very foolish and naïve behaviour for a pro footballer in that video but still a lad on a lads holiday.
I'm not sure it is snuff, looks a little more illicit than that and speaking as a seasoned addict yes, he is definitely high. But who knows whether he has learned from that or not? I myself sent a lot lot worse videos than that to my snapchat friends in my days, proper stomach churning stuff, yet here I am father of 3 clean and sober and smashing a degree at University whilst helping others who have the same problem I had.
People are allowed to learn from their mistakes, especially when they're young dumb and full of, well, gum. Give the lad a chance, trust in Hurst.

If we exclude everyone who acted like a buffoon when they were 20 then we'll be fishing in a very small pond.
Speak for yourself.....I was a perfectly respectable and well behaved 20yr old, did lots of volunteer work and helped old dears across the road wherever possible. I was 21 before I turned to drugs, alcohol, prostitutes and a life of crime to pay for it all .

Using the tried and tested defence founded by Phillip Day it's ok because nobody (other than Hickman) suffered any financial loss as a result of the videos.

Fabulous post. I agree 100%. It's easy to judge but people can change!

For me it's not the video it's more the fact they've basically stuck their fingers up at the club that pay their wages. Should have spoken to the gaffer and chairman and if they weren't supportive or tried to work something out then walk away and go on trial. By the sound of it the vice chairman was willing to allow them to go but wanted them to hang on a week as they had a big game.

Might as well send him back now. The bloke could be the next Cafu and the Mary Whitehouse brigade will just be waiting for him to fart out of tune so they can say “told you so”.
