Was the trust consulted on this ?
Fenty explained: "We had a meeting to discuss this involving myself, manager Paul Hurst and the board." Presumably the Trust reps Dave Roberts and Jon Wood on the GTFC board were in the know. And that's the way it should stay in my eyes. I don't think the wider Trust needed consulting on this. Personally I am happy he is not coming here. It would have damaged the club. The people who say they would have loved him to play here forget that Youngs and many other advertisers may well have walked away, regardless of "the truth" which nobody but two individuals will ever know. It's not hard to imagine a large sacle boycott of Youngs products if a campaign was orchestrated by social media. |

In that do you mean Ched Evans and Clayton McDonald? |

If there is someone prepared to underwrite the cost of bringing Ched Evans here, what is Hurst doing signing Ollie Whatsit? Presumably we could sign someone else costing as much as Evans.

I honestly don't think there ever was a financial backer willing to underwrite the cost. I reckon that the telegraph have got wind of a few individuals on Facebook, who have "pledged" around £3000, which would pay about a couple of weeks wages maybe, and made this fact known to the club, and the Telegraph have blown the whole thing out of proportion. |

I'm sure you are right Les. I'm just stirring the pot a bit! |

I had personally guaranteed the £3000 Les. I was prepared to transfer the cash before I got the pledges in. I was putting 1k in myself and the offer still stands for Evans. It would be a donation. I know in the grand scheme of things it's peanuts but I approached the trust asking if they would take my proposal to the GTFC board. If they had been keen, I was going to bring it to the fishy members asking to boost the fund. I fully understand the clubs position, From what I've read, I believe Ched's appeal will be successful but I wasn't on the jury. It had been discussed already so it sounds like somebody with proper money had offered to fully fund the signing. |

Very unlikely as his appeal was rejected. He is now before the Criminal Review Commission who have a backlog of three years. |
