Quote ="nottinghamtiger"The club absolutely should have made him unavailable for selection whilst they investigated the allegation made against him. This was not resolved when the 19 man squad was announced so, at that point, he was unavailable for selection.
If they have interviewed Hardaker today and concluded that he has no case to answer (as yet) or he has accepted some kind of warning, Cas should not prevent him from resuming his duties.
Not sure what Hardaker would have to moan about. In fact, he will probably appreciate the club conducting their investigations so quickly.'"
The club have said he is unavailable because he broke club rules. They have already found him guilty of the offense that they dropped him for. Their silence on what that offense was has allowed speculation to run rife and Hardaker to be accused of plenty that he didnt do. So the club would be saying he was guilty before they had come to that conclusion, were wrong about it, and had needlessly hung Hardaker out to dry for an offence he hadnt actually committed.
