One thing that concerns me if Evans does join us, is the loyalty he would of shown to Mansfield.
Having been there 6 months and jumped at the 1st opportunity, whos to say he wouldnt do the same to us if we start the season well and a bigger club comes in for him?
If he's appointed, the day he leaves can't come soon enough.

That's clearly a come and get me, the only concern is he would not necessarily know what players are needed for L2 and we need to hit the ground running with recruitment
It certainly reads like that but maybe he is being clever and not distancing himself from it to give himself room to negotiate with his current club over what he needs to push them any further (if possible). I have to say if its a choice between Archibald and Evans i go with Archibald all day long. Evans had success with money at Crawley and pretty crap spells everywhere else, not even counting his odious personality. Archibald on face value seems to have done well on a low budget and has continually improved a club. So what he doesn't know league 2, neither did PDC or Dennis Wise.

Didn't Evans win back to back promotions with Rotherham?

Mansfield have just completed their second signing of the day..... It's looking less and less likely to be Evans, I still think there is going to be some twists and turns to come.

Both had a decent nucleus of players from the previous campaign to work with...we've got Luke Norris and erm maybe Dion Conroy, who's played maybe a dozen games.

I wouldn't want a nucleus of the players we had last season anyway. I don't see the level he has managed at in Scotland as much of a difference to league two/one so he knows the standard of players he needs for the job.

I haven't been approached yet, but I would strongly consider moving if Swindon Town were to offer me the job of manager. I would certainly listen to what Mr Power had to say, but I am happy with my life at the moment and the job I am doing. (Does that say come and get me too?)

I hope that's the case. He's an odious and vile man. After last season's shambles, surely Power would not be so stupid to make such a divisive appointment? Whatever the outcome, it's fast becoming a bit of a farce. Same old Swindon!

That does indeed sound like a "come get me Mr Power"

How is it becoming a farce? didn't we say 8 days a few days ago and everything else appears to be either agents or clubs leaking their own info out, nothing has come from us so far has it?
