Well thank goodness it wasn't the U's
So that's another fixture I will not be attending this season whatever the outcome.
Hopefully Peterborough Saturday. |  | | |  |

He frankly deserves another chance because otherwise just let us have locked him up for 10 years. Career over then, pretty much. Just wish he had owned this issue better by now. It was "he said she said," but the courts said She said. And that's called the court system.
Bad move by desperate Oldham now fold em. Not sure what to add, Gerry. |  |

Saw the headline at the weekend, when the L1 club was not named and wonder what would be my reaction if it turn out to be the U's . Thankfully we are not so desperate .
Sure the Latics also held out a olive branch when Lee Hughes became available after his porridge , seems they like causing a stir ! |  |

I think the press should lay off him and anyone wanting to employ him, not because i find him a sympathetic character but because he's done his time. The real issue is the short sentence - any rape should surely get more than Evans did.
Still relieved it's not us who were thinking of having him, mind. |  | | |

I assume you're talking legally as opposed to Evans. He still maintain his innocence so this is a gray area. And in terms of time spent, that's about the legal system. He will end up a plague anywhere. But laws can always be changed. Even if he'd spent an additional, let's say, 3 years. Your comment is about the legal system not what so happened. Yes. He should have been behind bars another 3 minimum | |

On the assumption that the legal system will not "lock them up and throw away the key" for the vast majority of cases, however serious, there has to be a path to rehabilitation otherwise the law abiding tax payer foots the bill criminals for evermore.
The difficulties in this case are that Evans is high profile, shows no remorse and is pursuing the matter through the Criminal Case Review Panel (or similar). Whilst all that continues public opinion is unlikely to change. This, in turn, makes it practically impossible for any club to offer him a route back into football as supporters and, more importantly I suspect, sponsors will vote with their feet. There may be a short term gain in terms of his performance on the pitch but can this ever outweigh longer term considerations?
I wouldn't want him anywhere near Leeds or Colchester but, eventually, he will get a gig somewhere...or accept it's not going to happen and get a proper job. | |

Sponsors departing Oldham Athletic.
60,000 strong petition, Latics, Don't do it.
2,000 with a counter petition, give him another chance.
I'm of mind he deserves another chance, but haven't said he Should at this point be given another chance. He really needs to own this. He's doing not much to paint himself as a sympathetic character.
Evans, do something rather than become a plague to any club that expresses interest. Say you understand why you may have been convicted, but while maintaining your innocence, become a poster child for bad judgment.
Be apologetic or get a proper job. | |

Final comment from me, and contrary to what I thought previously, he hasn't served his sentence, he has been released on licence, and of course he is still unrepentant. Until both those facts change, I don't think a single football club anywhere should have anything to do with him. |  |

Succinctly expressed Wesser and is the principal reason for the public's disenchantment.
The arrogant lack of a single ounce of humility wont help perceptions either. Oldham must be in a bit of financial trouble and see this as a potential way out - it may do the opposite.
And that's my lot with it too - here's to an encouraging show from the U's on Saturday. |  |
