GIGGS CASE DROPPED BY PROSECUTORS
By Josh Halliday
Ryan Giggs will not face a second trial on charges of domestic violence after prosecutors dropped the case.
The former Manchester United footballer, 49, had been due to go on trial on 31 July charged with coercive or controlling behaviour against his former partner and assaulting her sister. However, prosecutors told Manchester crown court on Tuesday that they would not be pursuing the case.
Jurors were unable to reach verdicts in his first trial last September.
Giggs, the most decorated footballer of his generation in the English game, has been on police bail for more than two and a half years since he was arrested on 1 November 2020.
He has consistently denied controlling or coercive behaviour towards his ex-girlfriend Kate Greville, now 38, over a three-year period between August 2017 and November 2020.
He also denied assaulting Greville, causing actual bodily harm, and the common assault of her sister Emma Greville on 1 November 2020.
During Giggs’ time at Old Trafford, Manchester United won 13 Premier League titles, two Champions League trophies, four FA Cups and three League Cups.
Giggs stood down as manager of the Wales national team in 2022 after a period of leave since November 2020. He won 64 caps for Wales and is a co-owner of the League Two side Salford.

My immediate thought is Dave Jones. Look at the crap he took from the ignorant supporters amongst us.

Anyone who is an improvment on Rob Page's abysmal record.

forget the personal stuff, he might have to drop down to league one or league 2 and prove himself, and if thats the case then hopefully he will take it, was surprised he had the welsh job if i am honest, and i remember 2 games where, like page, he was tactically naïve

Good luck to Ryan.
He was a fantastic player who was fortunate to be at United during their glory years. One of the best wingers in the world.
Was made to occasionally look more ordinary in a poor to average Welsh team.
Has not yet proved himself as manager, but was doing reasonably well until the court allegation.
As it turns out, he was not proved guilty of those allegations, so I wish him the best of luck as a manager.

Will be difficult for him to manage in the Championship or above straight away.
Also can't see Wales going back for him.
Most likely is he'll try and build his managerial career back up in the USA or Saudi. Then the door will be opened for him to manage at a high level in the UK again if he does well.

He has been found innocent, reading the accusations they did sound weak, strange how the lady victim phone ended up in a river ,when police asked for it?

As I said last night he wants to get back into football - Good Luck to him wherever that is .

Perhaps a stint in women's football?
