Can see why though

Longer he leaves it the less fit and less employable he becomes

For as long as the FA allows clubs to employ players with serious criminal convictions, this sort of farce will continue - the player wants to play because it's all he knows, and clubs are desperate enough to take them on if they're good enough (Barton, Harewood, Hughes etc etc). It's a regulatory failure, not the fault of the ex-con player - he's just trying to do something he is permitted to do
