its not possible for him to go abroad, the ministry of justice confirmed that the other day and said that the conditions imposed on sex offenders in this country effectively rules out working abroad

I myself employ an ex drug dealer he was sentanced to 9 yrs served 4.5 and i have never regretted it ,without me he would most likely have re-offended or simply be sitting on the dole for the rest of his life either way costing the tax payer fortunes instead of being a net contributor

Great post! Mind you, that was before I read you'd employed a former drug dealer so I'm cancelling my order and going to make sure you never work again...

Martyh, Well done matey. You deserve great credit for what you have done. Yes, people do need that chance.

Yes, Ched Evans was convicted of a serious crime. But when they come out its people such as you, that give people that chance. Good on you mate.

Just pretend Ched Evans is David Cameron, Arthur.
it'll all make sense.

I hope Oldham are made to rue this decision. Fools.

I agree its great what Martyh has done but a number of offenders do re offend Arthur

Between July 2010 and June 2011, around 630,000 offenders were cautioned, convicted (excluding immediate custodial sentences) or released from custody. Around 170,000 of these offenders committed a proven re-offence within a year. This gives a one year proven re-offending rate of 26.9 per cent, which represents a rise of 0.5 percentage points compared to the previous 12 months and a fall of 1.0 percentage points since 2000.

Whilst that is true the reason why so many offenders re offend is partly because it is very hard for offenders to get that chance in the first place so many feel they have no other choice but to go back to crime .In reality ex offenders that really want to work and go straight tend to be extremely loyal and hard working because they Know that if they blow one chance they may never get another.
In evans' case i don't think he has a shortage of offers from clubs but he has to battle public opinion and the media who feel they have the right to control the rest of his life ,i don't think he will reoffend but problems ex offenders have in getting good jobs or any job means he should be allowed to take the offer and if that is a football club then so be it

Yes excellent that the threat of violence and rape against the families of staff have forced the club to back down

Is that good or bad?

[MalteseFalcon]

I posted that before I had heard the news of directors and staff being threatened. That is taking it too far, especially telling someone they would rape their daughter if the deal went ahead.

Until threats of violence and/or rape were made, this was being protested in a mature way. I hope they can ID the troll and prosecute them.

There are a load of **** bags out there, making threats towards the board, and family members.

I always thought that the football world, wanted to get rid of bullies, and this is what the club have done. Bowed to online bullies

When you think that thousands of people have vented there anger at the club. They done even get that at each game. Just goes to show that, there are people out there. Who cannot mind there own business.
Yes, Chad has now apologised for what happened - But what will all those **** bags do IF Chad wins his appeal.

I appreciate that the words of this comment might be hard. I am saying, exactly what Harry Redknappe has said. There are other players out there that have committed major crimes, and are back playing there football.

Does this mean that any job Chad goes for, there will be a vigilante group out there, to try and stop him working and earning a living.

The Guy has done his bird. Now he has to rehabilate
