Evan's old man in the Adver...

[sonic youth]

i thought it was a pretty good letter, although perhaps a little over-defensive.

however, joining blackpool would be a sidewards move for him right now, even though we're in a league below them.

i think he's a thoroughly decent keeper who can't kick for shit, but if he had all of those 4 key qualities he wouldn't have joined us in the first place.

[DMR]

Of course not, but there's no evidence of them improving in 3 years.

I wonder whether he even has said attributes.

[sonic youth]

i'd say his kicking has improved over the time he's been here, as has his catching on crosses.

it's difficult for a keeper when you've got a defence in front of you which is about as much use as a chocolate kettle in a bucket with holes in.

Talking of letters, that M Martin is a complete buffoon. He actually thinks Power will make money out of STFC and 'laugh all the way to the bank'.

Get a grip. No one has ever made money out of STFC.

[sonic youth]

totally agree, the bloke hasn't got a clue - suggesting we get rid of devlin and sullivan, sheer madness.

So then, Iffy pays the ultimate price! Unlucky son – your hands were tied even more than Kingy’s though, given the same amount of time as Kingy I reckon you might have done a better job.

Shame that the atrocious board and management team at STFC didn’t follow Iffy down the road.

New brooms from top to bottom are required Mr Power!

Your reputed £1m input wont go far in solving the club’s finances, although regrettably it may ensure job security for another season for Gray, Devlin, Sullivan & Co, whose apparent expertise in orchestrating another PR disaster regarding the way in which the news was broken about Iffy being replaced knows no bounds.

Having said that, on the pitch it’s all about connections – Wise and Poyet are much more likely to persuade Premier managers to part with promising youngsters on loan for a period than Iffy.

Season ticket sales will increase just on fans’ expectations that Den and Gus are the dream team and may even restore fitness levels to the boot camp days of Lou Macari.

If they achieve as much as Lou did on the pitch by winning the division by a country mile then BP will be laughing all the way to the bank.

Finally can we look forward to the same mouth-watering pre-season warm-up games as last year? All the local Hellenic teams because the Bryan Adams concert?

This, in hindsight, could be useful because if the dynamic duo don’t succeed it will give them an opportunity to appraise next season’s opponents!

M Martin.

Ummm maybe he hasnt given us a decision yet because....well we've just completely changed our back room staff

[Iffy's Onion Bhaji]

Fair Play to his old man's letter today!

[Spud]

blackpool are a little bit bigger than us

Fuck Off are they!.

[hansgruber]

who is this Evan, and what's his Dad doing in The Adver?

[Amir]

Il be horrible to anyone who thinks Blackpool are bigger than us.

Stanley Mathews is ancient history. They are crap. When did they ever bring more than 300 to us? Not in the last 15 years. Remmember 96 when we rammed that bank and had loads in the home end?

(I love ya really STDave  :gay: )

I'm not particularly fond of Blackpool either but the last ten years there hasn't been that much seperating us.  I did love seeing our fans on mass in their end that day, still we did win promotion that day, and I seem to remember them bringing a decent enough amount to us earlier that season(never a penalty).  Also Blackpool is a jolly for almost every team in the country.

As for Evans, I'm just happy enough to wait and see.  Don't think he deserves slating.

Evans dad in sticking up for his son shocker. Oh. What he says is fair enough.

If Rhys wants to play at  a higher level, or for more money, or whatever and leaves then so be it. We will replace him, but the fact remains he is a very good player, one of our better ones.

[Tails]

I wonder if he'd be proud of Rhys if he knew how he treated Mr. Evans' daughter in law.

What you talkin' abou Willis?

[Sade]

Rhys is a good goal keeper, I can't believe what people are saying. A rocky start and middle but Towards the end of the season he was magnificent and I'm pretty sure if it wernt for him we'd be losing 3-0, 4-0 every weekend. I think he too could be a real asset next season if he decides to stay. You can't knock the bloke really, he's a local lad with a lot of respect for this club - this cristism is a bit unfair. Also the contract thing was a bit off , he's intitled to way up his other options isnt he ? If he does go, I won't be pissed off with him but I'll be a bit gutted obviously but Fair play to him, life goes on.

On the subject of the family Evans, i'd quite like to do his sister...
