I won't believe it until someone tweets a picture of his shirt hanging up in the changing room

Steve Evans will turn a fairly good striker into a crap donkey like he did with Matt Tubbs.

To be fair to Evans, and I don't use that phrase much, he turned Tubbs from a Conference striker into a £800,000 striker. His problems began when he made the step up to League 1 and was found to be out of his depth at Bournemouth, and he has continued his poor form at Rotherham this season. Still a decent player in there at League 2 level I guess. |

The wierd thing is that "most" of his players enjoy(ed) playing for him, which is why he chose Rovrum over us and a couple of Championship teams (Yeovil and Barnsley were linked). I think Evans is managing well above his level though and I do hope that Thomas has the same impact as Tubbs did up there. Or Steve Evans welcomed him with a large brown envelope stuffed with used £50 notes in it as seems to be his way  |

I'd agree he is above his level, but I expect him to be around here for some time to come on the back of his time at Crawley and his current job at Rotherham. He will always be an attractive choice for lower league clubs. The league is better for him though, the 0-3 and 3-0 in 11/12 were superb with the abuse thrown at him.
He was linked with the Sheffield Wednesday job not so long ago, he would have been laughably out of his depth.

He creates a siege mentality at the clubs he's at, which seems to work for him.

Its the same with nearly every manager really - if Cooper left and we appointed Evans he may be unpopular to start with - get a few results and he'd be the bee's knees, the dog's testicles and assorted other animal appendages. Rotherham fans probably like him at the moment, as Crawley fans did when he was there. As was said above, he creates the siege mentality - and if it works, fans love it.
