I'm sorry Pooch but I think Ched has probably survived mentally on cherished dreams of being declared innocent and when he reads the reaction to this verdict I think HE, like the girl, will need help coming to terms with the rest of his life.
I'm afraid many pro' footballers exist in an arrested-development bubble and some tend to remain seventeen-year-old man-boys sometimes even for life ...... Women do throw themselves at them, girls wanna be WAGS, amazing as that seems, and players expect to hear the answer yes to any query. They are testosterone bombs waiting to go off!
Most players never become aware of the real world's opinion. I'm sure Ched IS now aware. He has exchanged the guilty verdict for one of slimeball. I hope his girlfriend's amazing support helps him through.
Whether he'll be the same player or the same person I don't know. I do think police incompetence and eagerness to convict a celebrity lie at the heart of a case which has damaged all concerned and has almost certainly added to the reticence of all abused people to involve the law.
If Ched can put all of this behind him when he's on the field Chesterfield has the bargain centre forward of all time, but I do think it is going to be hard for him. If I were his rich father-in-law-to-be I'd be buying him lots of sessions of psychiatric help. If I were Chesterfield I'd be doing that too.
Whether supporters who stayed away after this signing, if there really were any, will "slink back" I've no idea. This was a case with no good outcomes. It wasn't To Kill a Mockingbird.
