This is obvious and the excuses coming from the club were embarrassing when it was obvious to all.

No surprise he hasn't come out and said thank you to the Club and especially the fans who fawned all over him (many on here)- super CHED and all that.

I'm glad this sordid chapter of CFC history is coming to a close.

Unfortunately there's a far bigger and more damaging one ongoing.

Quote from Carson in the DT (which I need to stop reading cos of their Tory advert)

"Ched came to us, we took risks at the time, there was financial impact in terms of some fans that chose to stay away, sponsors that chose to stay away,” he said.

How many fans stayed away cos of Evans? Surely no more than what, 20? Is Mr. Carson talking out his bumholey again?

(Yes he is)

I stayed away for a bit but they still had my money, so I suspect the ticket impact was limited.

I really wouldn't mind us (CFC) being the scapegoat to take all the flack to get Ched back into the game, prior to his move back to the team that was probably going to sign him when things had calmed down anyway, IF I thought we (CFC) we're going to get any of the benefit of the transfer fee back into the club to improve our squad.

But I just feel a bit shafted as a supporter in all this. It feels like we were used as a vehicle to make a few quid, and mocked by other fans for our troubles.

Hope I'm wrong and Caldwell gets a couple of hundred grand for other players but I'm not holding my breath.

Just as well. Caldwell is getting nowt from Ched sale.

Depends which rumour you believe, one suggests we've already had some cash up front which was gobbled up paying the shortfall in wages last month.

Nice to see them chucking a few quid into Ashley's begging bowl

Bet we really drove a hard bargain, £500K + add ons? Oh yeh

I stayed away until he was cleared. I didn't want to get into discussing it on here at the time- it was my stance and I stick by it. I came back once he was cleared. I guess more than 20 would have stayed away for these reasons- I don't know how many would have come back afterwards.

To be fair when you consider he's not scored a goal since the beginning of December, only 8 appearances in 2017 and not played since March on the back of not kicking a ball for 4 years or whatever it was i think its a miracle they've paid what they have. No idea why United think he is worth that sort of investment.

Because he will miraculously recover now and get them 15 plus in the Championship next year.

Even if he got fit there is still a lot to do to show he is capable at that level. He started well for us but went downhill after that.
