That's it though isn't it, he doesn't listen to anyone - his his way or no way, he thinks that he's the next Pep when he's clearly nowhere near being a top manager. If he won't listen then he'll lose his job and tarnish his blessed legacy Pay a specialist and knock one issue off the list. Finding a...

Evatt has let his staff take the can for his failings. In short it’s detestable. Until he goes nothing good is happening at this club. Simple as that and a few wins or back room reshuffles won’t fix it. That's fine, but he's not going; so they need to walk the narrow path available. I only care abo...

I honestly don't get it, if he didn't have answers and didn't know how to change things on Saturday at 5.30pm - what's changed by Monday morning to suddenly provide him with answers. Same with all the personal negativity and huge negative energy - what's suddenly changed, if anything its now far wo...

Like I said, it didn't feel like there had been a major change yesterday.

If he's staying then it becomes about how he turns it around.

He's lucky to survive that performance. I'll look forward to vast improvement on Saturday.

I trust your analytical views more than my emotional ones.

Bloody hell, don't do that. I'm fecking livid at the minute.

GhostoftheBok

I think that's correct. But what I would say, is getting through the rough bits is all part and parcel and comes with the territory of "big jobs." You're not earning big money on gimmies, beating Utd's kids by scoring a shedload. You're earning when the chips are well and truly down and the world i...

Schön is crap. I wouldn't have him in a back 4 in a month of Sundays

I don't think he's crap, but I'd not want him defending the far post in League One.

The issue now is that Evatt looks like he'll be another bad run away from a genuine personal crisis. He could go on a winning run, but even if he did the new "trimmed-down and positive Ian" increasingly looks like a even more of a mask than his usual projection. If he stays I'll continue to vocally ...

Schumacher has been booted at Stoke - would expect a link there.

Would be fine with that.

The "one trick pony" accusation is true this season, but it's not because we don't go from Pep to Pulis with a couple of subs. "Go more direct to a big lad" isn't the only way to mix it up, as Arsenal showed yesterday. If anything, asking Ian if we should go long lets him off the hook. Where's the p...

What would be interesting would be if Sharon wanted Ian's advice on his successor.

If we want to spitball conspiracy theories, that might end up with Gareth Ainsworth taking over.

You do not come out with the comments Evatt made post match wanting to stay, to me he clearly wants out but on his terms.

Certainly sounded like that, but then he was pissing and moaning about his future last year and stayed on after Wembley.

GhostoftheBok

Was at the stadium today. There were a few in working. More than is usual on a Sunday.

However, there was no indication that anything major had gone on. Certainly wasn't any of the usual feel you get when a big change has happened.

GhostoftheBok

In some ways, I kinda hope so. Realistically there are probably a hundred managers across Europe who we could get in and would, in theory, do a decent job. The "football is weird" part is that only about half a dozen of them would be great appointments and the rest would be highly dependent on circ...

How many of our recent managers have been realistically talked about this far out? Maybe Dougie? No issue with the chat, that's what a forum is for! But there is a good chance it's someone not on anyone's radar yet. We should also remember that FV gave us Keith Hill previously. So, in case Sharon i...

Honest mate, I can see his passion. While I think he says some dumb shit, and plays some shit, boring, possession football, so far it's worked more often than it hasn't. Until this season, I'd have billed us as a top end L1 team. But he's now missing - not quite enough and when your target is promo...

Question: Is Stephen Crainey separate and established enough to survive an Evatt sacking?

Can't be a coincidence that Big Stevie showed up and they had to hire a new chef. If we move him on what about the poor lad in the kitchen who landed his dream job?

GhostoftheBok

I'm usually a bit lost, but here I'm missing the map. McAtee, dunno. Matete great 30. Forino. Absolute clogger (but needs more time). Southwood, 2nd keeper... Thank fcuk for the highly paid recruitment dept. It's like a fcuking free hit. They're shit - manager. They're great. Us. You've managed to ...

He doesn't have to be a shitload "wise after the fact." No, but given that he was pretty positive when speaking to me in preseason I'm assuming there's some "my hindsight was foresight" going on. Just from experience Marc forgets to mention at the time a lot that he apparently saw coming. However, ...

GhostoftheBok

Perhaps "time on the grass" and "downloading content into them" would work eventually, but Evatt's almost parodical insistence on "Plan A but better" speaks of a certain tactical intransigence that is always going to carry a huge risk. They're not elite coaches. Evatt calls himself and his staff el...
