The new manager thread.

[Bogus Dave]

Steve Evans rising up the bookies listings.....

Not sure Power would pay compensation
Evans is the type of manager you love to hate
Would Power seriously relinquish control of transfers
Greggs in the town would do a roaring trade
He does have experience and has had success

That's a terrible poem. Doesn't even rhyme

[Private Fraser]

Perhaps Di Canio will just 'break in' again one night and take up residence in the Manager's Office.

Power's appointments previously seem to have been hugely influenced by Sherwood, with previous incumbents being summoned to the Spurs training ground for interviews and to explain results, so I wonder who Sherwood will choose this time ?

This seems to be a new one, from the FB group per chance?

[Batch]

from the media isn't it. I read it before . will try and find link.

edit: SM for mail mentions it:

Williams was certainly brought to the club by Sherwood, he said that himself in the biggest appointment PC.

obviously Sherwood may run away now, and may not have been involved in Cooper's actual appointment...

FB group are posting screenshots of bookies odds - good way of keeping up to date on which idiots are throwing their money away

Don't get this 'former player stuff'

It allows middle aged men their fantasy that the ex-players they remember from their younger days were 'one of us' all along, rather than just football pros trying to make a living like everyone else.  A stint at the club as a player during the 1980s or 1990s will have no bearing whatsoever on a candidate's suitability for the Manager's job.  None.

Steve Evans is currently favourite, god I hope it's not him.

I'm not sure that's *quite* true - it certainly buys them a bit more time and patience from the crowd, something which you'd have to think our next boss might well need. People were generally fairly sympathetic to Onoura and Jimmy Quinn in a way that they really weren't for Hart, Malpas and co.

Shouldn't be a major factor in the decision though, sure.

Why would he come here ?

Surely he knows everyone hates him ?

He got dog's abuse every time he cam to the CG

Please no. 

[Not that Nice If I'm Honest]

Personally, I like the ex-premier-league-player type appointments.

Generally successful - Macari, Ardiles, Hoddle, DiCanio, even Wise did well briefly

I'm not sure, given some of his comments, that he wants the job.

Manager Steve Evans has said he wants assurances from chairman John Radford that Mansfield Town will back his desire to win promotion from League Two next season.

Evans told BBC Radio Nottingham he was "not a League Two manager".

"I need to be sure I get supported to build a promotion squad," he added.

Not sure he'd get the support he's looking for from Power even if he got the job.

[Captain Beefheart]

I'd have Steve Evans any day of the week. Cunt he may be. But he's generally a pretty good at winning cunt.
