    Evans gets it. . . . . I'm out. My 40 year association with BCFC will be over.

    Oh suppose yeah , fair point

    Hate Evans. I won’t be going to a city game if he’s in charge. No way.

    Anyone Martin Allen, Owen coyle, any of them and Lawrence is a legend

    Anyone apart from Steve Evans

    Yeah fair point. But ... Steve Evans was tax evading and doing dodgey dealings ‘In football’

    Lawrence did a few armed robbery’s because he was brought up in a rough area and that was standard. The guy turned himself around and played internationally and in the premier league.

    Steve Evans is not the kind of manager I want at city.

    That Crawly town game ... says it all

    If Evans gets it and we win our first 3, fans would still stay away? Based on what?

    He’s not the greatest example of a human but so what? We took Jamie Lawrence on and he committed worse crimes.

    Why not Evans? He’s got the win at all costs mentality we need right now. I am not a fan and don’t generally like him but can see why he would be a good appointment in our position

    And if he lost those first 3 games? What then? He is such a divisive character that fans would turn on him far faster than they did with Collins. That was by no means pleasant. He's completely the wrong person for our situation just by that fact alone.

    I can just envisage it now.

    Peterborugh game, 90th minute winner and Evans running down the touchline flicking V’s at the peterborugh bench and celebrating with city fans who have come over the hoardings. 15,000 chanting his name at full time.


    Ok I’m going a bit far... running down the touchline?

    More like Drury stood completely frozen, in fear of being lynched after our capitulation and Peterborough have run up a cricket score.

    The last thing we need is another divisive factor. Also, we cannot afford him. Remember his first 2 seasons at Rovrum? He went through 4 squads. There and Crawley where he also spent loads are the only successes on his CV.

    On balance not sure he spent a lot, He also sold some high value players to offset his spending

    Forest Green manager , pay the composition

    Get it done

    Mark Cooper

    Although, he’s on form right now but he’s not been fantastic at other clubs


    Whoever comes in would need a miricle to keep us up

    Sadly I fear Rhodes is going to let Drury have a run at the job. We've already gone
    through this scenario with Collins we can't risk another of this type. I don't like Evans any more than anyone else but he's one of the few that could save us from a relegation that will spell disaster for the club and will take years to get over.

    He did with disastrous results. Unfortunately Richard Sutcliffe in Yorkshire post who seems to know Rhodes well is convinced that Drury will get extended run.

    We need a Steve Evans poll. I don't have the skill.

    According to reports Mr Rupp was over for last week end - there may have been some frank discussions - between Mr Rhodes, Rupp and Hopkin - with what we now know was the outcome.

    Not forgetting he is the current CEO and it is his job. Plus a former owner who has been through it all, plus when all the aforementioned is removed, he is a fan like the rest of us.

    Keep trying monkey.....keep trying.
