He will probally get another appeal eventually anyway and aquitted just like Clayton McDonald.
Anyone with loads of money shoudn't have one night stands with drunk up birds, it's not worth the hassle / risk? >> ££££
Saying that, he still did the dirty on his g/f, I can't believe she has actually stood by him regardless of innocent or not, hang on a minute? >> ££££
Weird how Ched's girlfriends (very rich) father paid for his solicitor.

Right or wrong, Lee Hughes got given another chance and he ran away from killing someone in a car accident.
This for me is the nub of the matter. Whether you think he Ched did what he was convicted of or not, whether he does or doesn't admit it, he is still out of jail and perfectly entitled to look for a job in the field of his choosing, which is football. The moral question of signing him is one that will not be truly ended, but you see Lee Hughes playing regularly after his release so why not Ched, and why not here?

And there wasn't such a fuss about it when Hughes was released, that bit I can't understand. Are we honestly saying killing someone is more forgivable than having sex with an extremely intoxicated woman? They're both despicable acts so I don't see why one can go back to football relatively commotion free and the other is hounded out the game.

Quoted from 75
I really think he would consider a temporary move to Town. He might not be as expensive as you'd think as he just wants to get playing and a top Conference club could appeal as we are a big fish (pardon the pun) in a small pond. He would be a machine, try and get him until the end of the season and he would score tons at this level, would be a boost to the squad and instil real belief we mean business.
Negatives are there would be national interest, it would kick up a storm for a couple of weeks, he won't be 100% fit, his appeal is ongoing and this will be a huge distraction for him timewise and mentally.
Your negatives outweigh anything else I am afraid.

Considering we usually play in front of significantly less than 2,000 fans (some of which, often a decent proportion, are ours) I'm not sure it would make a huge difference.
Not advocating signing him btw.
Even so , it's amazing how even 400 or 500 fans can be vocally intimidating if they are united in one vitriolic chant.

Evans hounded away by the media from yet another chance at getting a club. I don't think they'll stop til they have him signing on the bloody dole.

A question for all. Would you have Evans knowing he will score enough goals to get us certain promotion, OR Would you say no never even though we remain in this league for at least another season. Saying getting promotion without him is not an option in this case. I would give him a 6 month sentence, I mean contract.
