It was incredibly ridiculous and selfish and he was lucky although he still got banned from driving for a year and has over 200 ours community service and a suspended prison sentence over him plus a massive fine and he will have to pay for all the damage so he has hardly got away Scott free. Other than that he would have been potted for 6 months and how would that assist anyone?
I feel sorry for the club who have stood by him, paid for his rehabilitation and taken care of him that he should return their actions by being a total c**t! He is lucky he didn't kill his passenger, he put other people at risk and it could have been a lot worse, but they can't prosecute for what ifs. He also risked further injury to his existing injury and new injuries which shows how much of a cretin he is just for that.
He was never coming back to us anyway, but I would think Sadler is the type of person not to turn his back on Gaz because the bloke clearly needs help, be it with a drinking problem, mental health etc., and though I decry him for being a terrible hirer of football managers I don't know, but I bet he is offering support and I hope he is.
