    He's also an obnoxious odious creature with a penchant for flashing his bits at ladies (allegedly). If he gets the job, I won't be going to City.

    Like a bleeding jack in the box he is. Reminds me of Clunk from the wacky races when goes off on one.

    You are one of the better posters on here How, cannot believe you don't know why this obnoxious fraudster is hated so much, not withstanding the fact he has had no success now for over 8 yesrs

    Forget the "woke" stuff. If Evans turned VP into a fortress and got promotion I'd be happy. You get the impression some people would only be happy if the lead singer of Erasure was in the dug out. Evans is no different than most of the blokes you'd meet in town after a few pints.

    Woke?, what are you on about. There's nobody less woke than me. Check his history of misconduct and fraudulent activities going back to his days at Boston, his shocking behaviour at Valkey Parade when manager of Crawley, and as I keep saying, he has had no success since promotion from league 2 in 2013.

    Anyhow just because Peterboroughs owner has stuck his ore in again, it's not going to happen

    He hasn’t a clue about Evans’s record, however he does like haunting the Towns pubs on a wet Wednesday night....a Nigel Farage type character but tweedless?

    With our recent record re managers could it be that the next one might be the first one to get the sack even before he's appointed.....?

    A few years back maybe, but he's had no actual success for 7 years or so now, and he hasn't even over-achieved in his last few jobs in that time. His time has passed.

    Our record on hiring Scottish managers is pretty dire, Think the last one that did well was Mulhall, Hope the next one is better if the rumors are true

    Tbh I think it's an interesting debate. Would Evans get us up and would fans be happy with his appointment. It's an interesting thing for McAnthony to post and he usually posts stuff that have a decent debate to them.

    Let's play Devils advocate.... Several on here were saying "a win is a win" or "we were playing poor but at least winning" so I guess they'd all be in favour of Evans then unless some of them have got a moral standpoint?

    Having said that, I'm not in favour of Evans coming! Debate is interesting tho.

    Evans lasted less than a year under McAnthony, so hardly a ringing endorsement.

    McAnthony urged Sparks to make T&S permanent, again, that didn't go well and lasted about 4 months.

    Otherwise they are no different to you and me folks.

    He's odious man, a proven cheat (Boston), and a misogynist and he only succeeds when people throw money at him, unlike Adams & Parky who have built teams out of nothing. Good manager or not, I want to at least warm to my manager and have some respect for him and I couldn't/ do that with him even if he won us the Champions League.

    I'm pretty sure I'm not alone in this, but I'd rather forgo success than have him anywhere near my club.

    The word “odious” seems to be a recurring theme this morning.
    Wouldn’t want it on my CV but never has the word been more appropriate.
