well, about those facts

Southampton FC stated:
"... no one in a position of power did anything to find out what was going on, to take action to make sure the abuse was stopped and properly reported once it had been discovered..."

"We have seen evidence that even when senior figures did find out about the allegations of abuse at the time, they seemed to do nothing to act and still failed to properly report the abuse."

And even when the FA sent a letter to all clubs highighting aspects of Higgins' behaviour "....Southampton still failed to take action and left the disgraced former youth football coach free to continue his abuse."

But, yeah.
