Accused rapist Ched Evans to be released from prison

Answer from DotCommunist (#1495) is more or less my answer to your post Bahnhof Strasse (#1494) ... that Indy article describes the chariaman of Oldham as a gambler but this surely defies any kind of workable odds for the club ...


Which leads me to don the tin-foil and point out...

22 acres of land around Boundary Park / plans for a 120-room hotel, a gym, 60,000 square feet of office space and 553 flats...
 
Yeah, I read that already. It explains why it might make sense for Oldham to sign him under the reported condition of the FIL covering all the potential losses (although isn't the idea that they could sell him on for £3m in a few years open to question?)

What I'm asking is for figures to back up the idea that the FIL will be getting a good return on his investment (to put it crudely) by bribing Oldham to sign him.

In other words, what sort of salary are they likely to be paying him, and how does that compare to the lost sponsorships etc?
At that level, probably between five and ten grand a week

His daughter is in love with him. He wants her daughter to be married to a top-flight footballer, albeit a rapist one.
 
how likely is it that he'll actually play for Oldham? surely sponsors aren't going to like the profile of a convicted unrepentant rapist wearing thier name on his shirt?
Sports Direct are the shirt sponsor - £1mill a year. They've said they'll continue to back the club. The tossers

That's your estimate of his salary? (like I said before, I have absolutely no idea about this)

Do we know anything about the size of the sponsorship deals, or does anyone want to hazard a guess?
 
you kidding? £1500-2000 is being reported
Fair enough, not read any reports. My lot have had players on more than that a division lower (which may be more of a comment on the mismanagement at BRFC than anything else)

Time for David Conn to broaden his detailed investigations IMO -- wouldn't be surprised if he's starting detective work already. He has excellent form for exposing this sort of thing.

Primary shirt sponsors c£1 million a year
Secondary shirt sponsors couple of hundred grand
 
To be honest, if he ever makes it onto the field he's an injury waitng to happen. Hasn't played since 2012 (?) and will struggle to get match fit to play much of a role this season - along with the reception he'll get from opposing players. None of that's really the issue here, but it is a bit of a risk for Oldham in purely footballing terms.

They'd be players who'd had big offers from other teams though. He'd be on a lot less I'm sure seeing as no-one else would take him.

Really? Bloody hell. I think 10-12k was the absolute top for a player when we were in League 1, and significantly lower now. Which may explain our current position, of course
 
I understand why people don't want to support a team he'll be playing on, but I'm also pretty sure if he was a gardener no one would even know who he is. The guy has a right to earn a living at his trade once he's out of prison.

His girlfriend seems very understanding, couldn't see my wife standing by me if I was filmed taking a drunk girl to my hotel room for a threesome. Not unless she was standing on my balls.

It's a great media story but it also seems to have the very unpleasant side effect of making his victims life even more of a misery because she keeps getting named on social media.



and you really need to cut the rape apologism shit. he did not take a woman, lets repeat that - WOMAN - to a hotel room. he arrived and raped a woman already there. if you weren't aware of even basic facts like that, then perhaps ypou need to educate yourself before commenting on the case

nope, eh's got a right to earn a living, not a right to be a footballer.

and the behavior of evans supporters is not the result of condemnation of evans, except in the fevered imaginations of those who believe it is right to punish her for the fact that evans faced consequences for raping her.

So on the plus side he might be earning £100k (that's going with belboid's higher figure), but on the other, FIL is already committed to covering a couple of hundred grand in lost sponsorship, probably similar from a second, and that figure could still go up.

Unless they are convinced Evans will still be able to increase his earning power substantially over the next couple of years (and I reckon that's doubtful), this is not what you'd call a canny investment of the FIL's part.

ETA: figures revised because I miscalculated originally :facepalm:

I honestly think that as a player he'll drift into obscurity, he's been out of the game for a while and despite his extreme arrogance his confidence will have taken a blow. He'll never fully fit in with a changing room ever again, plus with all that baggage he can't afford to have a bad game let alone a bad run.

Besides all that he was only a decent prospect before all this happened, nothing more - I doubt many would have heard of him if he hadnt got all rapey.

He was probably better than that, not the finished article, but well on his way. Would have been a good championship level player, maybe even higher.

It'll take him a while to get match fit, probly just in time for the Oldham-blades game. Which must be the only one where he wouldn't immediately be bottled off the park as well, handily enough.
 
Oldham have been monumentally stupid in this, but I doubt they'll be paying star player wages. Anything other than the average for the club gives opponents too much amunition. Same time, who can tell, maybe they are that stupid.
 
Wonder if the FiL is seeing (in his mind's eye) Preston Diamonds across the shirts of the Latics players.
I am at a loss to conclude why anyone would back Evans unless the daughter is pressing hard to achieve WAG status...which admittedly, sounds unfeasible to me but what do I know of the secret ambitions of young women with limited experience. I spent a number of years working for Women's Aid and can truthfully state that the issues around violence and separation, dependency and loneliness are complicated - many women had to go through numerous cycles of abuse before finally being able to break out of that terrorised mindset....although, I admit that this is probably not a fair analogy in the case of Natasha Massey
 
I'd be up for going to a protest outside Oldham football ground.

Fuck that, its right on top of a hill and the wind whistles right in, its notoriously one of the coldest grounds in England. Its trully a horrible place.

Like others I still can't get over the FIL in all this. Evans was dating his daughter when all this happened so even if he has unwavering belief in his innocence he knows full well that Evans cheated on his daughter and knows full well it was probably numerous occasions. Whats the matter with him? Its enough to get a pint out of my FIL and I've never cheated on his daughter let alone raped anyone.
