I'm going to my wife's cousins birthday today and all her cousins are lifelong Raith fans so I'll get all the gossip there

They did come out and "apologise" for signing him. He's still under contract and it's likely going to cost them too much to sever the contract so he might just end up getting paid but won't play.

I'm trying to think how that could have turned out worse for them and having trouble

I grew up in the municipality where Overmars is from. He once showed up in my elementary school classroom because some kid in school had won a local free kick competition to give the kid in question a ball signed by the entire Ajax selection at the time. He also arranged for Barcelona to work a training on the grounds of his childhood team. He was from before the time of truly insane wages, but he's still living comfortably, owning multiple businesses in the area. Needless to say, a lot of hot takes in local (social) media following that news coming out.

Tbf they created the situation and then handled it about as poorly as they possibly could have without actively facilitating rape so the result isn’t all that surprising.

I assume, with how easily they untangled themselves, that they were already a separate corporate entity from Raith Rovers so this is just a name change of an existing club so they stay where they are.

Im pretty sure all but one or two of the clubs in Serie A Femminile are part of the same organization as the mens clubs. This is a recent thing though; I want to say only Verona is a separate entity (from Hellas).

So the Overmars story is getting messier by the day. Initially it was reported that the story finally got out because Edwin van der Sar, who is in charge of day to day affairs at Ajax, sent out an e-mail reminding people of the procedures surrounding sexual harassment. This is assumed to have been sparked due to several celebrities working for the Dutch edition of The Voice having several credible sexual assault and rape accusations made against them, including police reports being filed.

However, tonight, two separate newspapers have published articles quoting several anonymous (former) employees who also handed over WhatsApp messages to corroborate the story. The employees say that Overmars' transgressive behaviour was known for years, that several women in the past had made complaints that went nowhere, and that there was a general macho culture, especially among the leadership. They describe Overmars as 'a creepy uncle' who was nicknamed 'Geilneef' (literally 'horny (male) cousin). They also allege that it's impossible that Van der Sar was unaware of Overmars' behaviour, although he himself denies knowing anything about it.

This is some awful poo poo. I mentioned this before but it’s shocking how unprofessional most football clubs are as organizations. Hundreds of millions of dollars run through them and they can’t enforce the bare minimum of professional standards.

I think we all agree this is heinous poo poo but I don’t think it’s a problem endemic to footballing corporations. (See: Blizzard, CNN)
