    Yeah. The club could dip their toe by appointing him till the end of the season. If he keeps us up; watch the opposition to his appointment fade away.

    We need someone who knows the league, can quickly instill the basics and give these pansies in our team a reality check.

    This isn’t about retribution, it’s about the character of the man. That is something that is part of you. I haven’t seen anything that might suggest his character has changed, the opposite is the case.

    I’m fully aware of what when on and I dislike the dickhead as much as the next person, but this club need a ‘c’ word to sort out these pathetic dossers, and there isn’t a bigger ‘c’ word in the business.

    What makes you think that kind of approach will work? We have a team of loanees, players on short term contracts and players that more than likely have release clauses in their contracts. Treating them like clunts is not going to help matters.

    Exactly. Most of our best players are loanees who are highly unlikely to be here next season, whichever division we're in. Whoever comes in doesn't have the luxury of dropping o replacing them. Our only hope of avoiding relegation is to generate some cameraderie and inspire them to do their best. Evans is not the man to do that.

    Bang on Carole. Look at the way he left Crawley and Mansfield. You are probably more qualified than any on here to comment on this.

    How is it soft? He's not very good. He can't coach a winning team, he has to assemble it expensively.

    If we had a transfer window and a bit of cash, maybe...

    Yes.

    Don't get this moral high stance.
    I mean, it's as if you've never waved your *@?$ at a bird before !!

    Keefly does it every weekend but the girls say they aren't that desperate for the business.

    Bang on, you do not sell your soul to the devil, Evans would not keep us up and would be the final nail in the coffin of a terrible year.

    Whilst some of that may be interesting, some is just bizarre.

    Firstly, this doesn’t capture net spend, only the amount he has spent. As I said before, he earned money at Crawley on transfer fees and whilst he may have had large wage budgets (top6 doesn’t actually say what this amount is), he had a fantastic cup run, ending in a 5th round FA cup defeat at Old Trafford. I’m sure that would have paid for a ‘splurge’ in the wages available?

    And then you ask strange questions like, why would he leave Crawley (ave gates of 2.5k) to join Rotherham? I think his subsequent success shows that he was right to think there was more promise at Rotherham.

    He left Mansfield in February 2018, just 2pts outside the automatic promotion places, in 5th. Hardly “failing to make the most of a very considerable budget” (allegedly). Why did he leave? Because he had been approached to take the job at a club higher up and a better chance of getting into the Championship.

    You then claim he aimed there. Did you suggest McCall had failed in his second season? Posh were 6th and only 9pts behind 2nd place when he got the sack. Again, I’d argue that this wasn’t a failure and replicates the harsh treatment of managers when in the top6. We only have to look at our own fortunes since we did exactly the same with McCall

    Evans no.
    The club are in a bad enough position without adding to it.

    Fowler is a property tycoon and absolutely loaded so I'm guessing money may not be the deciding factor in him being interested (if indeed he is).

    Your business can be demolished even quicker by employing Edin Rahic.
