With the greatest respect S8, I have never disagreed with a topic heading more. Evans didn't mind stepping in after the way Leeds treated Rosler, and he knows exactly what he is doing. He isn't in any position to take any moral high ground. What will be will be.

Not really - Evans knew what he was walking into - but obviously had the mind set it would be different for him. He saw the bright lights and went for it. I wouldn't say he's failed this season, more of a meh - He's got one or 2 good players up there he's not getting the best from, but also persisting with some real dross. If Chris Wood is better than Alex Revell I'll eat my hat. As for the big ego Italians - he's probably forced to play them as they aren't any great shakes either

i must admit i cant help myself but my i am  laughing my tits off at this both at evans predicament and also the club i dispise the most even more than the fowls.

cellino has made them a laughing stock.

Absolutely Smiler spot on. He's a canny lad and he spouted endlessly about integrity and yet as they say actions speak louder than words. I know there are many who would shoot me down for saying so, but its my opinion he walked from us in the same way he walked from Boston when they were relegated, he had better opportunities elsewhere, nothing wrong with that on the face of it, but he left someone else to pick up the pieces. With us, i would suggest, he saw the writing on the wall and got out while the going was good, leaving someone else to take the blame for a disastrous season until the arrival of Warnock. Plain as a pikestaff, why else would he have gone. He gets what he deserves and he will be found out sooner or later, if not already, IMO

I don't know why he left us Towdlad.  I hear rumours and have my own suspicions but we will probably never know.

Whilst there is no denying that he achieved success for us in the short term my personal opinion purely from a football perspective is that he did us a favour going when he did - just in the nick of time before he did irreparable damage (perhaps it was TS who saw the writing on the wall with what he was being asked for so soon after the budget had already been blown?  Pure speculation).

I do know that I wouldn't take any lessons in integrity from Steve Evans, and that I would find it difficult ever to feel very sorry for him if for once he was the one without a comfy chair to sit on when the music stops.  He knows exactly what he is doing.

 

 

Not much love for poor old Stevie on Banter.

He's full of it
