What on earth are Newcastle United going to do with this man when he gets out? Nobody is going to want to buy him. They may have to pay up whatever it takes to end his contract. Or--should he be regarded as having paid his debt to society and continue playing for the team? I really don't know.

If he continues to play for Newcastle, isn't that punishment enough? Laughing
