the sponsers pulling out of oldham as with patrons pulling out at blades sets a dangerous precident,who runs the football club the owners,the board or the sponsers and patron.will we come to the point patron or sponser pulling out because the club wish to sign a player whose religeon they dont agree with or the wrong ethnic origan,sponsers and patrons have now showing wh runs the clubs.and one question remains unclear the girl never cried rape the police assumed she was too drunk to consent to sex,sex she says she cant remember happening its only mcdonald and evans admittance that sex took place,no evidence i just wonder if it had been j.bloggs and i.doe the police would have prosecuted,but footballers could be good for career
If I was sponsoring a team and thought that signing a rapist could cost me alot of money I would do the same,would u acko? Or would u lose lots of money As he has served his time?
your right askern but you started it,what my point was IDM the clubs owners should run the clubs with their board,but sponsers and patrons are now telling the clubs what they should or not do
How many men on here who are against Evans playing ever been with a girl who's pissed? Round back top rank night club, time n place , Romeo and Juliet's ,mr David's, bet there's a few? Can't see what Evans done anny different the girl never said no?
If Evans' conviction is overturned and assuming he is still the player he was, they will have a player who suddenly becomes "in demand" minus the stigma that is currently attached to signing him. It would suddenly become acceptable to sign him. On that basis it starts to make a lot of sense particularly as they will have him signed up to a two and a half year deal.

Can't see what Evans done anny different the girl never said no?Askern a drunk woman or man can still consent. If you read some of the stuff about Evans'case I am sure a point is made that for the other player, it was reasonable that he assumed consent had been given (perhaps by the woman's actions?) therefore not guilty of rape.However, I assume that none of us here were on the Jury in Evans' trial? Therefore none of us are party to ALL the evidence presented nor to ALL the legal directions given by the judge, nor to the previous appeal etc.So really anything you or I say about the trial and how a verdict was reached, whether we believe it correct or not, is supposition, perception, and opinion.Stick to the facts, Evans was convicted and is unrepentant. He is unrepentant (it seems) of getting himself in the situation, regardless of whether it was rape or not. He could apologise for being there, for the hounding his victim has received, to his girlfriend, to his family, and to the football community in general.The debate is whether he should sign for and play for Oldham, whilst a convicted rapist - not whether he should have been convicted in the first place.
