Evans: 'Mob rule' ruined Oldham deal

Ched Evans has blamed ’mob rule’ for his move to Oldham collapsing and for the first time apologised to the woman he was found guilty of raping.

Evans claimed a new stand at Oldham would have been put at risk had he joined, while the club’s chief executive Neil Joy insisted they pulled the plug on a deal following “vile and abusive threats, including death threats” to fans, sponsors and staff.
