Then let us move on.

I do believe that this is a genuine approach but if Power ends up going for a rookie manager then this will feel a bit like when we were being linked to out-of-our-reach players under Gerard McCrory.

Speaking of Jed, i met someone from the Banbury United board on saturday night.

As you can imagine, both of us had glowing references of him regarding our teams!

I want us to do well next season but do not want Evans anywhere near our club, he is a complete fucking twat.

As usual, when a high Executive in any business (esp. football) comes out and says that, it usually means the opposite. A term used to 'buy time' and keep fans on side.  I'm going to say it. Evans will be our manager on Friday...

More likely Roy Evans coming back for a second spell.

tweet reads:
@carolynRadford
As CEO of our club I make our position very clear: Steve Evans is staying at Mansfield Town.

Don't think that tweet rules anything out, quite the opposite in fact. No mention of Evans' position...

I think the absence of them mentioning Evans being happy there or direct quotes from him tells the real story.

That's what I thought, although it can be easy to read between lines that aren't there.

One would think they'd be in touch with him. It might be them making a show of putting up a fight against the inevitable. Or maybe he is just staying put.

Negotiation through the public? Playing hardball? Outright rejection?

The tweet is irrelevant. It just means that the only way Evans will leave is by resigning, which means waving goodbye to whatever contract he has there and meaning he'd want as much here. Simple really. Power wouldn't have risked making an official approach and this getting into the public domain unless Evans (or his agent) had said he'd be open to the move in theory.

I've always though Evans is an utter oaf, as well as a criminal, who I wouldn't trust as far as I could throw him (which wouldn't be very far). Power is a rogue - a team of those two certainly wouldn't be lovable. The bizarre fact of all this is, it is strangely attractive because it is the sort of drastic measure that may arrest the decline of our club. Of course I'd rather a Hasslebaink, Jackett etc, but they are completely unrealistic and he's likely to be better than Ramsay (even if Ramsay may be a decent bloke). I'd expect a press conference, without a gilet in sight, by Friday.

The more I think about that tweet, the more it convinces me he's coming.

I need to stop thinking.
