You honestly don't see a difference between those two statements?
Well actually, for quite a long time, the case was not before the courts, he was simply preparing to appeal his conviction - not the same thing.

The furore, as I recall, arose when it emerged that Sheffield United were planning to take him back on their books. And you have admitted you didn't think that would have been the right thing to do. Only the most extreme voices were calling for him never to work in football again.
Besides, by saying that you think not employing him when he'd been found guilty was the right thing to do, you are essentially saying that, had his conviction been upheld today, it would have been correct never to employ him in football again.
