As you say everyone knew it was him, wonder why it took so long to charge him after he was arrested.

I find it really odd there was rumours for years, he played for Arsenal for years, earning a fair whack, and the minute he leaves Arsenal he gets charged.

I imagine this thread will probably be closed soon.

In some ways I am surprised they still played him but innocent until proven guilty i guess

Maybe afraid he would leave the country

And the conspiracy theory is what exactly?

The Benjamin Mendy situation may have played a part.

Never said it was a conspiracy theory, not everything has to be a bloody conspiracy theory. I'm just saying rumours have been floating around Partey for years, the minute he leaves he gets charged. Have I said anything incorrect? I never said he was guilty or not guilty, I'm just stating facts.

Found not guilty under the law, and rightly so, but is still a wrongun. They couldn't terminate his contract when he was charged even though they tried, they didn't play him though.

well the offences took place in 2021 to 2022. and 3 years later just a few days after his contract expires he is charged. i would be frustrated as a victim at the length of time it has taken for the charges to be brought. if it goes to trial it is likely to be next year which drags it out even further

TBF, it did sound as though you were suggesting that the delay in his being charged was because he played for Arsenal. That's a bit conspiratorial.

this is the state of most western justice systems — literally rigged. Imagine Partey scoring the winning goal on the final game of the season which gives them the league title — wow law suits galore.

Sounds like there are a couple of options here (maybe more).
Coincidence or the charges were deliberately held back

The problem is - the society we live in allows thoughts to meander quite easily.

Yeah, something doesn't sit right with this. Feel Arsenal may have some explaining to do.

Are we not allowed to ask questions?

I didn't say that. I was just pointing out why your post looked like a conspiracy theory. And not all conspiracy theories are nonsense btw.

Who’d be suing who? And what for?

Absolutely no chance Arsenal have influenced the CPS regards to these charges / the timings of them.
