no it is because she like many others believe he is innocent and 2 years in jail is hardly a slapped wrist, and how when he is playing football can he show young lads that they can get away with anything, even though he didn't get away with anythingHe shouldn't be allowed to show young lads that they can do what they want and get away with it with a little more than a slapped wrist. Even his girlfriend has stayed with him. Is it for the money?
I can just see bitterness about him being a footballer and you are not, and where is your evidence on that last bitShould have got much longer. Long enough to make sure his football career was over.
If the time served was what the crimes deserved there would be a lot less crimes committed.

I'm not sure you can start being selective about what people can do after they come out of prison.

I'm not sure you can start being selective about what people can do after they come out of prison. The idea is you come out having been punished for your crime(s) and hopefully rehabilitated. That may often not be the case but its the theory.
Is it that he will be a celebrity? Don't think so, he won't really be a celebrity at the level he'll be at. Is it what he will be earning? Seems more likely so on that basis wouldn't that apply to any career. If someone studies to become a brain surgeon while in prison should they not be allowed to take up that job as they will earn to much?
It's difficult because of what he's done but I think you have to change the system across the board, you can't selectively apply what you feel is justice.
Of course if the supporters of any club who show interest in signing him say they will boycott it is unlikely he'll be signed so that's probably the best course of action.

I wouldn't be hired in my job again after being imprisoned, I'd have to find a different career.
If you or I were convicted for rape we'd find it pretty hard to find the same level of work after coming out.
I can just see bitterness about him being a footballer and you are not, and where is your evidence on that last bit
Its not to do with earnings Chief, its to do with risk... Should a teacher and a farmer both having served time for abuse both return to their jobs? How can we avoid being selective?
On what basis? Wouldn't it have to be for a specific reason?

But you wouldn't be able to be a teacher as there's regulations or laws preventing it due to that
risk. What risk does Evans playing football pose, what job should he get that would be less of a risk? If the arguement is that the law should be changed to ensure peoples safety then fair enough but it seems more that people are getting worked up because he's a footballer. If he was going back to a white collar job with the same salary do you think it would be the same response?
I suspect it'd be the swathes of female colleagues at your work saying 'I don't want to work with a rapist' and it causing more trouble than it's worth.
As I said earlier in this thread, any job where he is not in the public eye and admired by young and vulnerable women suduced by money and fame.
On the basis that I would then fail a CRB check.

I'm pretty sure that won't be an issue when his girlfriend stood by him through this.
You're not required to pass a CRB check to be a footballer.
Ah yes, because guys are with their girlfriends 24 7 and never look at other women.
In which case rather than targeting Evans it needs to be address by the FA and FL and a rule change that you need to pass a CRB check to be a registered player.
So now you're saying he's a philanderer.
He's not exactly demonstrated his commitment to monogamy!
So now you're saying he's a philanderer. This witch hunt for Evans is ridiculous in both the press and on here.

yes because some careers are prohibited to offenders however football is notI wouldn't be hired in my job again after being imprisoned, I'd have to find a different career.
Pretty sure they weren't together when it occurred.

Did she meet him in prison?

what about if women were attracted to him if he had morrisons job? would he have to give that up? again you sound jealousAs I said earlier in this thread, any job where he is not in the public eye and admired by young and vulnerable women suduced by money and fame.
This is the nub of the issue, Football clubs do not make moral judgements. This is a problem.
For Football to put its house in order it has to find a way of excluding convicted criminals permanently.
