    Oldham were going to be the only team to sign him, they seem not to mind about the players history... Lee Hughes springs to mind

    In my view it is purely commercial opportunism. Take all the brickbats and financial hits in lieu of an transfer fee. Hope the player gets good, wait for crap to die down then sell him to a waiting bigger club for a fat profit.

    That's what the chairman thinks of the fans - fack you and what you think - there's money in this for me.

    His girlfriend's dad has offered to make good (any shortfall in sponsorship) money due to this scummy club taking on a convicted rapist.

    I hope every single sponsor pulls out and bankrupts this git.

    plus.... how could any supporter of that club spend saturday afternoon cheering on a convicted rapist then go home and kiss his mum/wife/girlfriend/daughter and be able to feel comfortable?

    What really gets me is three years ago, a scumbag with a gun was shot dead by the police on his way to commit a murder. A perfectly acceptable solution to a violent act. However, All the low lives, scum, do nothing's, and criminals felt they had a golden ticket to rob, burn and murder and they did. They said a innocent man was killed by police- he wasn't. The normal, civilised people sat at home and felt sick. Now many of those same people want to take a stand against a convicted rapist, not by aggressive action but by voting with their feet and wallets - and good on them. That is a freedom we have as supporters. We exercised that right and it's the only thing we can do.

    If money is more important than values, (and this is about money) then I would happily watch Oldham, the football league and football itself go bankrupt before I pay to watch a rapist kick a football.

    This is a very emotive subject for me but I will just say that if I were an Oldham supporter I would now be tearing my Season ticket into a thousand pieces and would never support them again. The way the victim has been treated by the girlfriend and her Family has sickened me to my stomach.

    Typicals last paragraph is exactly how I feel.

    I can see both ides of the argument on this one, although I think AHLL has gone a bit OTT.

    Ched Evans has to earn a living somehow.

    Yes he can. If his dad in law is so rich he can work for him, or he can go do a job he ****ing hates like I have too or be the first Welshman to work in Costa coffee.

    The fact is he is not being denied work he is arrogant enough to think he can work in a trade that will excuse him all sins. It won't. You must give up a few rights when you stick your dick in someone without asking.

    Football is an entertainment business and footballers are happy to accept the good things that go with their success, a convicted rapist should not be able to continue his career in this country..... football supporters should stand together and say that this is not acceptable.

    When will he be on the pitch ? The reception on field by the fans will be most interesting to see.

    AHLL - precisely...football is an entertainment business. Footballers are the same as actors, comics, musicians etc. They are not doctors, nurses or police officers. There is no register for them to be struck from, for the precise reason that there is no risk to the public from their malign actions. You can't impose your moral judgements on the guy's future employment prospects just because he earns his living with his feet - it is illogical.

    I always maintain that people can be forgiven for their mistakes but they must pay for them.

    I spend my money on entertainment I wouldn't go to see Gary Glitter anymore than I pay to watch Ched Evans. IT is perhaps the only chance I get to chose how I spend my money.

    If you don't recognise you've made a mistake in the first place how can you be forgiven? If your idea of redemption is Allowinging associaties to post details of your victim on line - her name, her three addresses and threatening her family, your something of a Clunt.

    The Oldham deal is off.

    Evans has just apologised for "the effects of his actions", while maintaining his innocence

    His best bit, move abroad and play somewhere like China, India, Russia, Ukraine where his reputation won't follow him.

    he can't do that either. Only the uk allows rapist and murderers in from abroad without question.

    As Royston says there are two sides but only one winner here and that is the law of opinion - the most powerful and binding law any civilised society can have.

    And as for Ched Evans legal team what are they thinking? It may be client led or a belief that his talent will buy people off but they have seriously misjudged the mood of the people. That apology if that is one is 8 months too late and totally wasted now. Maybe that was the arrogance of the idiot that got him in this mess in the first place.

    Of course thinking it through this woman can bring a civil claim against ched, if I was her lawyer I advise her too. She has suffered personal injury, (psychiatric injury) subsequent special damages, loss of earnings, new home etc and she is still within limitation. She can rely on the conviction (even without it) she has a watertight case. In addition to a personal injury and damages claim I also think she has a solid libel claim against the Ched evans website. The ****e they have printed on there is quite appalling. I also note the woman has not sold her story ( that I know off) so those that think Ched is losing a chance to earn a living.....

    So in some ways all those that think Ched has been punished enough, perhaps should consider that if this woman wanted to really turn him over she could have his wages for the next three years.


    Ps Gordon Taylor you are a right cu

    Can't help thinking that as long as he goes to another EU Country then the local government could not stop him working but outside the EU he may have a problem....... I know the US Government would not allow him to work there.

    I do agree that the apology was obviously written by his lawyers and has no personal regret attached to it even allowing for the fact that it is 8 months too late with no explanation for this delay.

    Oldham's club statement, says that they deplore all sorts of things (threats against the club/staff/supporters) and they congratulate the 'convicted rapist' and his team for the way the have handled the situation ......... they do NOT apologist to the victim of the rapist's crime for the new pain and insults she has received because of their actions??? Once again no consideration for the victim of this crime only the person who committed it!
