deyres42 Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Me thinks the damage is done and even if successful i doubt he would get a club higher than conference level if that. Unfortunately with internet today these things don't fade away from the news like Lee Hughes issue did. I'm not so sure, he seems to have a particularly strong arrogance and sense of entitlement about him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevie_J Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Me thinks the damage is done and even if successful i doubt he would get a club higher than conference level if that. You're kidding, aren't you?! Latics were willing to sign him as a convicted rapist. Should his conviction be quashed, Corney and Barry would be all over him like a cheap suit. Unfortunately for them (hopefully) so would a whole host of other clubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryBosch Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Me thinks the damage is done and even if successful i doubt he would get a club higher than conference level if that. The worst he'll do is a club at our level, surely? Sheff Utd & us wanted him when he was a convicted rapist. As an innocent man he'll have no shortage of suitors. I still hope we steer clear though. Although I think the clincher will be him steering clear of us if he does end up with a shiny new legal status Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archiecat Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 If his conviction is quashed there will be bigger clubs than us willing to take a punt on him ! it would be nice to think that he would be on the blower to Corney asking for a chance but there is more likelihood that Judas will be knocking on his door right about now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diego_Sideburns Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 I'm not so sure, he seems to have a particularly strong arrogance and sense of entitlement about him. He may be entitled to compensation in due course up to a max of £500,000. http://www.falselyaccused.co.uk/wrongful-convictions/compensation-for-wrongful-imprisonment/ He could also get into the Welsh squad for the Euros next year, if they qualify. http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/rapist-footballer-ched-evans-desperate-6001359 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stagger Lee Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 IF (thats a big if) his conviction is overturned he then becomes innocent. I wonder how many on this forum are wiling to treat him as an innocent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
singe Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 IF (thats a big if) his conviction is overturned he then becomes innocent. I wonder how many on this forum are wiling to treat him as an innocent? Being honest, that would really wrestle with my conscience. If he gets his conviction quashed, I still think we should steer well clear on the grounds of disrupting the squad. AS others have said, that decision wil' be taken away. Can anyone else believe he has the honour to come back to who gave him a chance? Highest bidder gets him. He's got legal bills to pay back....

I wonder how many on this forum are wiling to treat him as an innocent? It's a small if actually. 68% of these end up with the original conviction being quashed.

I wonder how many on this forum are wiling to treat him as an innocent? I know I would. Until then, not. I wouldn't forgive Corney, Barry et al for putting us through that though. What a :censored:ing horrendous week that was. No doubt there will be some (if the conviction is quashed) who will say they were 'right' but that misses the point.

What a :censored:ing horrendous week that was. No doubt there will be some (if the conviction is quashed) who will say they were 'right' but that misses the point. I agree with this. He would be free to carry on life as an innocent man. I would remain free to maintain my view that he isn't the type I want here. I wouldn't be pleased to go to the awards night and find him on my table. And it's obvious he still has his troll army at large despite everything they did to the victim.

Very true - if it's overturned he's innocent of rape but if it was my daughter he'd blagged his way into an hotel to have sex with after a text off his mate I'd want to snap both his legs off and feed them to him Edited October 5, 2015 by JWhite101 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lags Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 If quashed he's innocent. Not guilty. Not done anything to anyone (that I know of) on this board. Free to ply his trade without hindrance from anyone..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ackey Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 My objection to him has long since passed being only about the conviction and his guilt/innocence. He could have made a statement protecting the victim - not days or months but years before he did. When he did make it it wasn't out of a genuine sense of right or wrong but because it now suited his agenda. Rapist or not the guy is clearly lacking any real sense of decency and in my eyes can get to :censored:. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't know why he made a statement, you can speculate and hold an opinion, but not claim it as fact. No one as to like him, but he will be free to ply his trade like you or I.

Would you be quick to protect someone who got you put in prison? To apologise to someone who had ruined your life? Didn't think so.

3 Lions Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 I tend to agree with this however if he is found innocent then she no longer becomes the victim does she. In fact she never was... She was used for sex by two blokes, she's had to change her identity three times and as far as I am aware never claimed a penny in compensation. I'd say that qualifies.
