Is that the actual paper, TD? Or the website, which sometimes puts things up a day later, so D-Day might have been yesterday and we missed it?
It's just this DSB?

Ta. That went online yesterday lunchtime but originally said that Steve Evans was still at Leeds, who sacked him on Tuesday afternoon (so I suspect it was lifted form Tuesday morning's paper). I think we can be fairly confident that an interview with someone was scheduled for yesterday, but beyond that we can't be sure - whether it happened, who it was, whether he knows shit from clay...

Standing on his drive shouting "Get fecked"? :)

I mean, he's not the nicest bloke in the world (you have to work hard to get a 10-match touchline ban). And it may well be that Boston's bungs bought that promotion. But what about the promotions his teams won in 2011, 2013 and 2014?

I take Bruce's point about the shoutiness. I'm not sure what his record is on youth development, and we need that. But I would hope those seeking to get the best possible manager would bear that in mind, and his record demands an interview; whether his personality precludes employment is a question I can't answer.

Record demands consideration. Exactly. I hope it's him. Sod the personality. I want to see us win some fecking games.

I could have got Crawley promoted. Basically a kid playing football manager where you give a non-league team a premier league budget.

Fair play on Rotherham. Though he's still a prick. Adkins record I think better, and, even though he's scouse, he's far less objectionable.

I'm not quite there, but I think a few might be.

Think that's three promotions in a week you're claiming. You wanna crack on with those badges, we could do with you at Bolton... :D

Wouldn't be my personal choice, but I can certainly see the attraction of Evans to KA/DH - good promotion record and knows exactly what's needed to get out of the lower leagues.

I certainly wouldn't be against Evans if appointed.
