No it doesn't. Bookies stopped working like that a long time ago
Then you obviously know something the rest of us don't, maybe you'd be kind enough to enlighten us.

We need Steve Evans to nip this in the bud whatever he wants to do.
What we don't need is for this to rumble on.
Steve Evans and rumbling Mr Creosote comes to mind

We are a bigger club historically (although not much in it) with a bit of potential in the right hands.
Mansfield seem to be trying to flex some financial muscle publically, though. So he'd probably get a bigger budget at Mansfield but playing in front of smaller crowds (well, could be bigger if they are winning and we continue to be shit). Obviously the behind the scenes being a bit of a mess doesn't bother Evans, or else he wouldn't have touched Leeds with a barge pole.
Success here and we'll be pushing 10-15K crowds.
He's got a comfortable gig where he is now as the Mansfield fans and board have clearly bought into the ridiculous notion that he's too big for them, so he can do no wrong. He won't have that here.
Crowds of 10-15k ?, Fucking Hell, have I missed something ?, surely we're not back in the premiership ?.

Positives RE Evans:
-Knows this level as much as we could hope for. -Won't accept interference from anyone else. -Players won't last long if they aren't up to it or show a poor attitude. -Likely to adopt a more effective if less pretty playing style.
Negatives RE Evans:
-Despite the above positives, it's still Steve Evans.

Exactly what I was thinking, we didn't average 10k when PDC was here

Pushing being the operative word. If we do well, generally, the fans do start to trickle through and we have hit 5 figures. Point is, Mansfield won't even get close to that.

True, Mansfield probably would struggle to get close to that but would be nice to think we could reach those figures.

All points very valid. I don't like him but if he came and did the job in getting us back up then he would be classed as a good appointment.

Steve Evans had a very big budget at Crawley and Rotherham.

It's intriguing one of the Mansfield fans on their forum referred to our interest as a "fan appeaser", when I'm seriously considering whether I could support a team with him in charge!

Yes, made me chuckle too. Think I can just about, but would be counting down the days he left - hopefully because we've done well and he's been poached. Everything I've read/heard from people who wouldn't BS says this is a genuine approach, but I still can't see it! Where is the money gone come from?
