He deserved a 2nd chance. His wife gave him a 2nd chance. Did his actions threaten anyone at the club? It could've happened to anyone. It's only under the spotlight and a big deal because he is a famous footballer.
The drunk driving incident could have very well been the last straw for a string of events that none of us are privy too.
I wasn't happy with the sale. Not that we sold him, but that we couldn't, or wouldn't, start a bidding war. Although I do remember seeing something stating that Real Madrid were out of the running because of that drunk driving incident.
Of course, I'm even more upset that we haven't properly replaced him
Bayern wanted him, and he didn't think it was a bad idea. We got tired of his drinking issues, but Platini smoked, and Maradona did cocaine.
