    We've rolled the dice several times.

    Grayson is a proven manager. Hopkin's record was excellent. Bowyer's record at crackpot clubs is very impressive.

    What do you actually want?

    It's pretty obvious that the managers aren't the reason we're failing.

    Think he wanted Evans. Fantastic start he’s made at Gillingham having signed 10 players.....

    Hope that's not the source of discontent, because Evans is a gambler who has already used 3 different formations in 3 different games.

    Short term thinker who needs a ton of money to have a chance.

    Let us just see what happens in the next 8 games. I actually think midfield is the easy fix ref a loanee. Defence sorted ,attack sort of sorted .........maybe one short.

    I'm pretty sure if Evans was here instead of Bowyer, Fordy would be blaming everyone but Evans.

    Evans is a better manager though, His win rate is far better and is a proven manager at this level , Bowyer has done nothing to suggest he is a better manager, He got one lucky season and managed to get in to the play offs and got promoted, Take his 8 game run as temporary manager at Blackburn out of of his statistics and his win record is very poor at around 29/30% compare that with Evans who has a win record of 43% in League football

    Hardly a like for like comparison though when Evans had been in charge of over 900 games and Bowyer less than 250.

    It makes it even better for Evans to achieve 43% over 900 games is remarkable, Especially given Boywer has only achieved just over 29% in his 250,

    Not that remarkable when you're a cheat. For someone so successful, it's strange how he seems to be universally hated by the fans of every club he's been at, (not to mention the players), who have been delighted to see the back of him when he's left.

    Grayson would have got us promoted to Championship with owners like Lawn and Rhodes,

    Hopkin was out of his depth in England, irrespective of owners

    I think Bowyer will get us promoted, although think it may take another season to achieve that

    I think promotion failure this season will be a disaster, season ticket sales next season would be sub 10k

    I disagree actually. Think weve bottomed out on numbers this season, thats assuming the prices remain more or less static

    Yeah but those flexis will probably stay with us, if they continue selling them

    you dont get lucky over a season, thats why its a season and not a knockout competition. Evans also got pretty comprehensively done for exposing himself to a female member of staff at our club a while ago. I know we've had some interesting characters play for us over th eyears but personally I would prefer we avoided hiring weirdo perverts.
