You stole my thunder about the collusion that the owners did back in the day.. it will never be admitted to. You are right, there have been scumbags worse than Bauer who have been forgiven and were able to play again.. as I said before, keep a tight leash on him, if he doesn't perform get rid of him, if he causes trouble in the clubhouse get rid of him. Ask the players, if they dont want him, don't sign him
