Just seen that according to Sky Sources Ched Evans is due to sign for Chesterfield, given that he is going through re-trial a likely to be found not guilty, would we have considered him or more importantly would you have wanted the club to have considered/signed him?

Do we know if a fee has been agreed yet or if we are still negotiating this? Most likely to go to tribunal i feel though.

Yes, just posted on another thread ......... clearly a good player but the retrial may well disrupt his playing career for the coming season.

I was going to click on "like" but didn't want people to think that I was liking the fact that Payne has moved on. :sad:

given that he is going through re-trial a likely to be found not guilty,

How is he likely to be found not guilty?

WagnerRevolution sounds like that bloke off X Factor got annoyed with Simon Cowell.

ps sorry Jack but a bad move all round. Huddersfield will struggle this season.

A chance to play championship football and double his salary. No brainer. Hope we get a good compensation package and a decent sell on.

Championship football for one season maybe. It's not a no brainer in my opinion.

Well given that his sentence went to the court of appeal and was overturned and he has to now go through a re-trial, its difficult to re convict someone of the same incident without any new fresh evidence, and the new fresh evidence supports that he was wrongly convicted in the first place, hence the overturn of the sentence.

I'm not supporting what happened at that time, nor do i condone the actions, but i struggle to see, with the justice system, how he can be found guilty for the same incident that was overturned.

Mine too. If he makes it work then fair play to the kid but I see them in for a rough season.

I'm no expert, but a re-trial will examine all evidence that has subsequently come to light. I would hope/trust the jury will be fresh as well.

I too am no expert, but the Jury is likely to be new and fresh. However given that the appeals court saw enough in the new evidence that he was wrongly convicted, i would expect him to receive minimal to no conviction, with the most likely outcome being found not guilty, but this does depend on what charge he is being tried against. If he is to be convicted then i would say that he will receive a suspended sentence or community service, but as i say i cant see it myself, but we shall see what will happen.

Thanks for an erudite and well-written reply. :thumbsup:

Lets not get into debate on this thread. He isnt an option even if we wanted him.

But didn't he do his time already? Surely this re-trial is purely to clear his name, not to send him back to jail for something he's already served a sentence for.

Trial by Twitter and fan forums - it's the way forward for the justice system

Thought not.

We don't have to finish in the top six, even if we are up there in the first half of the season other clubs would come in for PB if they could. There will of course be the usual pointless sackings next season, as I believe last season was the record so far. Look how many managers left L1, some for a better job but most sacked.
