This coupled with the fact that very little money has to be placed for the bookies odds to move at this level. Probably worth Evans putting £100 on it and using it to get the Mansfield chairman to back him.
That sounds like something our former manager who is still loved to this day would do

bored bored bored bored bored.

Amazon Echo tells me Benito Mussolini is the manager of Swindon Town when I ask it. Get your money on quick


Italian managers are all the rage atm what with Conte, about to become the 4th Italian manager to win the Prem. No Englishman has managed one.

Our Italian did OK also, so clearly the way to go.

Sadly Benito is unavailable having been hung by partisans, but Alessandra his grand-daughter is and fit to boot. Currently scuffing around in the EU Parliament in Bruxelles or Strasbourg, or wherever it's been shunted to this week.

Failing that Gianfranco Zola needs to rebuild his rep

Fabrizio Ravanellii is touting himself here there and everywhere. A slightly less mental Italian than our previous one.

Iffy Tegg for manager, like it!

Haha, doubt anyone will get this unless they are of a Ciren base and a certain age.

Used to play football with the likeable grey haired  legend (Teggy not Fab, obviously). He used to commentate as he played, and he was often "Ravanellii" in his own head if not on the pitch. I say in his own head, as I said - he commentated as he played.

Yeah, you had to be there.

Ask yourself this though. If he was in charge the second half of this season do you think we would of gone down?
I personally think we would have stayed up if Evans was appointed back in Feb or March but now we are down I would not want him here at all.

I would have been happy with him coming in short term to save us but not as a longer term manager, never.

I would also have been happy with Martin Allen when Williams was in charge, coming in short term too, but there are so many better fits than either of these 2.

Evans? If you ignore the conviction for tax evasion and fraud and also that he is a very unlikeable person.... my main concern is that he has been the subject of a sex charge against him while at Rotherham of flashing his cock at a female steward, I personally don't want somebody like that managing our club.

We are interested in Evans according to the adver. It's 'concrete', according to them.

One particular person on twitter said 'Scottish managers are crap, look at what happened with Alan Stubbs'

Alan Stubbs is from Liverpool
