All these clubs saying they can't have a convicted rapist in there club, but yet it was all right for clubs to take lee Hughes and Luke McCormick back after drink driving and killing people!!!! Double standards!

We've done this. Has a thread ever gone round in a circle more times than this one? Why did he climb down the fire escape though?

Had his chance to have a very good lifestyle, his fault that he threw it away. Cannot understand any sympathy coming his way. No matter how desperate we as a club might be, I would not want us signing lee Hughes, Evans or any other lowlife in the same mould.
I reckon Evans' legal people would be able to make a strong case for him to be able to work abroad, now that the lowest ranked club in this country's professional leagues has turned him down. He could probably put forward a reasonable argument that it's impossible for him to gain employment in his recognised profession in this country.
I reckon he'll get a contract in the Indian Premier League or somewhere in the Middle East.
I think the likes of Hartlepool are kidding themselves if they think they can sign him on the cheap.
If his conviction is overturned on appeal he is going to sign for a top Championship or Premier League side and if his appeal is not overturned then I think that no club will be able to sign him due to the fallout that would follow him where ever he goes.
As he is a millionaire, already, why would he agree to sign for a small club who will, no doubt, want a massive transfer fee for him if/when his conviction is overturned, in exchange for very modest wages to be kicked up in the are all afternoon in the forth division?

Premier league side?! Wait, what? He's not that good.
In that case I'm not sure why he's bothering to try and get a contract here - perhaps he has to try and fail a couple of times to provide evidence that he should be allowed to work overseas whilst on licence ?
I would doubt that he'd be able to get a work permit anywhere though so I'm guessing India/Middle East is out of the question and he'd have to look for somewhere in the EU.

Considering he was playing league one football BEFORE he got sent down I'm not sure why you think any champ club would want him.

Well was only behind Jordan Rhodes (now Blackburn Rovers) in the Goalscoring charts in his last season (Nor did he finish the year because of his jail sentence).
Since that season you've got Clayton Donaldson (Birmingham).. Brett Pitman (Bournemouth).. Britt Assombalonga (Nottingham Forest) and Callum Wilson (Bournemouth) who all scored around twenty goals in League One before being snapped up by a Championship side the following year

Yes but their transition from L1 to Championship wasn't interrupted by 2.5 years at her majesty's pleasure !

Ideally it should only be his fitness that he'll need to work on... the Goal posts wont have moved position or height on the pitch so should know where they are
If I remember rightly Evans wasn't exactly prolific before his time with Sheffield United. Has spent more time in jail than he has in goalscoring form.
They're 15 points clear at the top of their league, and their Chairman (who is English I believe) has come out an said they need a goalscorer and Evans fits the bill.
Sounds like bit of a publicity stunt to me. Bloody stupid one as well.

No one wants to touch him with a barge pole
