Bostons Steve Evans - Comments

[Luci]

Nice to see a Manager praising our efforts and wanted to post something not related to consortium/board/trust etc. for a change;

Evans praised his players for their efforts and spoke about the qualities that Swindon have. He told bufc.co.uk: “There is no doubt Swindon Town will get promoted. They are an excellent team with the resources to mount a serious title challenge. Paul Sturrock told me yesterday his players are on more of a win bonus per game than the majority of the players at Boston United get in wages.

“As I said before the match, we can match them for effort and commitment but the bigger resources get you the quality that wins matches and that is the same at all levels of football.

Taken from bufc.co.uk

Further down the article he still continues to go on about the penalty decision but couldn't be bothered to drag that up. Guess you win some and lose some but good when other Managers see us as a strong capable side.

Slightly concerning  :shock:

[fatbury]

sour grapes more like .. Mark Devlin already explained about the bonus payments

[mattboyslim]

Any how our crowds are three times what they get, we should be paying more money out.  And remember we're in the black after someone turned around a £14m deficit!!!

Evans shouldn't even be in football.

He's a cheating cunt.

Fact.

He's a liability - God knows why their board has kept him on for so long.

I predict blackmail!

Same goes for the whole club. Hopefully they'll get kicked out of the league sooner rather than later.

its true,i'd heard about the bonus before.

[reeves4england]

Maybe their overall wages aren't all that high though? Win bonuses may make up a large percentage of the total sum for all we know

[Frigby Daser]

Boston are as small as they come - wages of £400-500 p/w aren't out of the question - it's still a decent salary for the man on the street, so a £400-500 bonus for a win doesn't seem unreasonable - always thought wages should be bonus-led anyway.

If we talking four figures, then clearly thats ridiculous.

[lebowski]

the average wage at accrington stanley is £27,500.

that's per year.

[mattboyslim]

I'm, guessing perhaps falsely so that we pay reasonably low wages given our cash flow.  It seems to be a reason for missing some signings, so I assume other options at a similar level of football are able offer high wages.  Accrington are just oput of the conference with tiny crowds and alongside Boston, Macc, Torquay and Rochdale would reasonably be expected to offer the lowest wages in the league.  I guess Peterboorugh are the highest by a distance alongside the Dongs

I wouldnt take any pleasure in seeing Boston go out of the league.

Boston are one of those irritating, middle of nowhere clubs that hold no interest for me other than go there once so I can say I've done it.

Nothing against them and probably always going to be good for 6 points but a bit of an uninspiring club.
