How many Ched Evans threads do you need to start?


Lekos

Righto.  I guess this one was far too off topic to have been included in the "Ched Evans" thread.

Yes you are correct , it's a breaking headline , it deserves it's own post

Leaving aside the ethical aspect it's a bit optimistic of Oldham to think he can re-start his career at the same level that he left it nearly three years ago, that's a hell of a long absence without a competitive match, no matter how hard he's been training. When Lee Hughes joined Oldham after his jail sentence he'd dropped nearly two divisions.

first touch of a rapist

I did wonder who would be first with that comment but I should have guessed.

They must be loaded if they can run a club without sponsors , can't see new ones queuing up to sponsor them ?

Just a thought , what if one or more players refuse to play alongside him , due to media / wife or girlfriend pressure ?

The deal is now off as directors and staff members received death threats
One director was told

"We know where your daughter works and if you sign the rapist Evans
We will rape your daughter"
The mentality of some people ?

apparently they didnt get any threats

the guardian is all over the place with this

Not as all over the place as Rapist Ched.

Issues an apology of sorts!

No sooner than that feeble self-serving apology is released the press are reporting Ched in the same statement as saying:

"the more radical elements of our society" had the "desired influence on some sponsors".

Ok Ched you just do not get it and that is your real problem and what led you to being convicted of rape in the first place. You have misplaced arrogance, an absence of decent morals or behaviour and take no responsibility.

Let me spell it out for you, your statement is ironic and tragic, you are a convicted predatory rapist that society needs protected against and you are condemning the behaviour of 'radical elements of society'. Any sane sponsor does not want to link their product or company with such a vile unrepentant rapist as you, nothing to do with radical elements of our society pressing them, all to do with you and the seriousness of your heinous crime of rape.

It was inevitable that sponsors would pull out and if you had signed it was also inevitable that many fans and family would abandon the club. Oldham did not need much intelligence or leadership to work that out; sadly that is just what they lacked.  Oldham once again displayed, like Sheffield Utd did, that football is totally out of touch with any sense of reality or ordinary working people. Nothing to do with 'radical elements' the only radical and extremist is you, a convicted rapist, and you are paying the price now for your rape of an incapacitated woman of 19 who was not in a position to give you consent.

BTW explain to your partner that failure to be allowed to smear the girls reputation in court is not an unfair trial or denial of proper evidence, it is due process.

If he doesn't get a club soon , cant see his girlfriend hanging around much longer :D

Gordon Taylor, Steve Bruce, defenders of Ched the Rapist and the football tribe. Football need not worry about having enemies when it has leading lights like these two.

Steve, little point of order, the Judge, Jury (12 ordinary people good and true) listened carefully and intently to ALL the evidence and arguments in court, unlike you. They decided under due process Ched was a rapist. The appeal concluded likewise. This might not suit you and the football tribe and may well undermine the morals, behavioural code and culture of the football tribe, well that is tough but it is footballs culture that needs changed not the law of the land. You need to accept the due process of the law and stop trying to rewrite the trial verdict, because in your view 'Ched is one of the lads and sure she is to blame' or some other feeble excuse you and football have for his behaviour because he is a member of the 'can do no wrong' football tribe. His behaviour even without the rape conviction was disgusting and morally corrupt.

Gordon comparing the circumstances of a convicted rapist to the Hillsborough tragedy is a display of how far removed from reality football is. Hang your head in shame and have the decency to resign your lucrative post; show the money culture of football does not always win over morality and decency (of course, we all know it does and will continue to in this case - enjoy your reign and lucrative gain).

must be some law about mob rule too
