Sheffield United manager Nigel Clough says bringing jailed striker Ched Evans back to Bramall Lane should be a decision taken by the owner and not at football level. Evans is due to be released two-and-a-half years into a five-year prison sentence for rape on Friday and has been heavily linked with a return to the Blades - the club he was at when convicted in 2012. The South Yorkshire outfit have faced a backlash over potentially re-signing the former Wales international, with more than 90,000 people signing a petition against his possible re-employment. Ched Evans was at Sheffield United when he was convicted of rape and sent to prison
