Hughes SACKED

It looks like MH has raised the profile of the club and the opportunity that exists.

I can't imagine that 2 years ago the likes of the Cowley's, Robinson & Richardson would have applied.
On paper they are top end League 1 Manager's.

 

Pretty much agree 100%

 

Yes, we have to give time to some of the players that dont start well but maybe show promise instead of writing them off. Mezza wasnt great to start with - if I remember rightly he was actually 'released' or contract expired (no tears) as didnt sign a contract but then came back that summer and was a different player.

 

I thought Afoka did really well on his debut as substitute. He struggled against the packed defence of Harrogate but I think he could be a good player

 

I've felt for him so far. Against Harrogate he was forced to play as a lone strike when he's not a striker then his next appearance was on the wing against a strong Middlesbrough side when no player played that well going forward.

 

Rides is only in the team because Richards is injured, not out of merit.

 

Sorry but I dont think he is up to much at all - he looks terrible technically. Throw him on the scrap heap with Samuels, Oteh and Burrell. Young, cheap and here to be a number unless 3 or 4 are out injured.

 

Oteh is harsh. He had potential and looks decent now he's beefed up.

 

Maybe so, point was he was absolute shite for us.

 

Thats not true though.

This club is weak and it’s time to put wanting success first.

 

I really dont understand the fawning over Steve Evans. He got promoted with Stevenage, great did well, but Adams did with Morecambe. And apart from what he did with Rotherham a decade ago he hasnt really done anything else apart from taking 4 attempts to get Crawley into the FL.

He was a disaster at Leeds, Posh, Mansfield and Gillingham. If the club were to appoint him and he continued the trend of management failure it would turn nuclear.

 

He guarantees promotion.

Apparently.

 

Haha, well the stats don't really back that up do they! Bowyer and Adams have as many/more football league promotions on their CV!

 

That’s the thing that pisses me off about all the Evans thing.
People regularly cite other managers failures at some clubs as the reason we don’t want them(Wellens)
Yet all of Evans’ previous failures are completely ignored because he got Stevenage promoted last year.

Where was this magic potion that Evans supposedly possesses when he was at Leeds,Posh,Mansfield and Gillingham?

 

I think you will find that unless we employ a novice the new manager will have failures on his cv as well as successes. It’s Evans character that some people question

 

Do you know what equally pisses me off? This idea that he loves us and we are somehow his dream job. He doesn't and we aren't - he was out of work at the time and wanted a job. That's it.

 

That’s my whole point.
Wellens had an absolute disaster at Doncaster.
According to some that means we shouldn’t go near him.
1 season later he’s winning the league by 6 points.

Evans’ has disasters at 4 clubs but he’s suddenly this lge 2 Pep that would “definitely” get us promoted.
If he came (he won’t) he might achieve something,he might fail dismally.
It’s this complete fallacy that he “guarantees” promotion.
It’s just nonsense.

Every manager at our level has a failure on his CV.

Why are Evans’ failures just completely ignored?

 

I think his love-in is him goading us. He loves how our fans are obsessed with him and he likes adding fuel to the fire. Unfortunately a lot of our fanbase fall for it hook, line and sinker.

 

I think a lot of our fans want evans purely because him and raynor are a pair of absolute shithouses. We have tried every possible type of manager in the last 7 years, with ZERO success. I’m sick to death of wimps who hide in the dugout and talk shit to the interviewer after we have surrendered a game. Evans might not work with us, but I certainly wouldn’t be against giving it a go first
