More than 60,000 people have signed a petition calling on Sheffield United not to re-employ disgraced footballer Ched Evans.

Sheffield United Football Club has decided to retract the opportunity for its former player, Ched Evans, to use the Club's facilities for training purposes, as was previously intended.

Members of the Board have consulted dispassionately with the Club's supporters, Vice Presidents, Community Foundation members, executives, staff, sponsors and other relevant stakeholders in order to help it reach this decision.

Then I suggest there's no evidence that even a small but significant proportion of those 60,000 were active match attendees.

One club playing the chap to a cheering crowd would prick this publicity-driven harassment's claim to represent public opinion.

Come the revolution, but until that day the rest of the board would over rule you.

Maybe, but the chance is too great. The Sun Newspaper ?
