News now reporting that Oldham athletic are going to offer him a contract . Yesterday it was a team in Malta Hib's today it's the Latics
They say they are prepared to weather the backlash
Which ever side of the argument you are on ,can he really ever play football again in our oh so politically correct country ?

It'll be interesting to see what happens after the inevitable backlash from Oldham's fans and sponsors.

Personally I wouldn't piss on him if he was on fire.

It's not just that , you will have crowds of anti rape protesters / womens rights etc causing havoc outside the grounds , fan protests inside and out possibly player boycotts and legal challenges
The club just don't realise what they are letting themselves in for , they just see the chance to get a half decent player on the cheap

About time he is allowed to get on with playing football and earning a living somewhere.

Deal looks like it might be off ,Oldham already bottling it
didn't know he played for City

He was given a chance in life that millions could only dream of , fame and fortune etc
He blew it , big time
He doesn't have a god given right to play footy
he can always come back in to the real world and work for McDonalds / Tesco or the like

I would imagine the Nationwide BS would be reviewing sponsorship of Oldham in light of this.

This is football's inner workings at work, protecting the innocent (one of their own) and dismissing the courts of the land. They may have found him guilty after a fair and open hearing, but we find him innocent after a few backroom chats and after all he is a decent bloke.

Football yet again with its head buried in the sand. With the golden egg and privileged status comes responsibility.

Ched is guilty until proven otherwise and should keep his head down and rehabilitate in the background.

He can play football if he wants but any professional club taking him on needs to carefully consider the damage to their image and the message being sent to supporters, especially young supporters.

He has shown no remorse and therefore deserves no pity or privilege. He should await the outcome of his appeal before seeking the limelight again. In the meantime there are plenty of other jobs he can apply for. If his further appeal fails as his original appeal did, he needs to admit guilt publically as part of rehabilitating his behaviour and attitude.

Football needs to also examine its attitude and morals (if it has any).

bry the guy · January 05, 2015, 14:09:19

The thing is if he was signing for Liverpool.rags,Spuds,arse or Chavs he had his chance with us would he be treated and looked at the same way.

goat · January 05, 2015, 14:13:56

meppen-walters scored the weekend, he is allowed to play and they know he actually did it

Ludo · January 05, 2015, 15:13:37

But I doubt meppen-Walters actually set out to do it.

goat · January 05, 2015, 15:23:15

either way he still did, doubt ched saying oops will stop the idiots jizzing over their daily mail in outrage

goat · January 05, 2015, 15:25:10

one slightly amusing thing here the clowns probably didnt think through, if they keep stopping ched from working they will have to support him on benefits
