Very unlikely as his appeal was rejected. He is now before the Criminal Review Commission who have a backlog of three years.
I read earlier that as the appeal judge was looking at it "it must be dodgy". I assume this is boll ocks as anyone found guilty has the right to appeal to the Criminal Review people do they not?

Yes they do, hence the backlog. The judges looked at it because he appealed. They found no grounds to re-open the case. The next step after refusal of an appeal is the CCRC.

Criminal reviews only change outcomes of trials if new relevant evidence comes to light, as far as I'm aware no new evidence as appeared regarding the ched Evans rape case.

If it costs nothing as there is a backer in place and he proves himself in training to be upto standard then seriously....he has done the time for the crime he has been found guilty of. We have signed players with previous criminal records in the past and probably will do again. Are we as a club going to vet all players and have a strict no criminal record policy? We live in a democratic society with a judicial system that is arguably one of the best in the world, why do we not accept that due course is now complete and he is now a free man?

Fenty has taken a lot of stick on here but he got this absolutely right, the loss of all credibility and sponsors would be catastrophic. Also what sort of message would this send to the youngsters and female staff and supporters at the club.
Well done JF you have my respect on this one.

Quoted from 75
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.
Ill stick a grand in the pot if your serious ? He's a class player who I believe is innocent , If he's willing to come play here and put up with all the excrement that'll come with it then he's good enough for me

Because it isn't and he isn't. His sentence is still ongoing. He is out on license which basically means he is serving his time outside, instead of inside the prison system. He didn't get time off for good behaviour, which is a different thing all together and until today was still protesting his innocence.

Just been mentioned on ITV News Calendar that Grimsby Town turned down the chance to sign Evans.
|
| When Leeds trainer Les Cocker was once told Norman Hunter had broken a leg, he asked: “Whose is it?” |

If we had backers putting money in for Evans,
Will they still put the money in for another Div 1 striker ?
