Where does this notion that he's "pissed the budget up the wall" come from? Do we know the ins/outs of every transfer and the financials?? Have I missed this publicly available information? If I have then i'd like to be pointed in it's direction.
Evans kept us in the league despite a huge disadvantage and regardless of the start we have made this season the squad man for man is of better quality. The team is starting to gel and we are improving week on week.
The major issue for me is that the heart of the team from last season is largely gone, Morgan/Arnason/Pringle could all have been kept at the club but for financial reasons have moved on. So lambasting Evans for "pissing" the budget away when trying to replace a major part of the side is hardly fair.
Yes he's made mistakes with transfers, but he gives a list ofs to the people who do the signing of players and I would hasten to guess that he rarely got his first or even second choice on those lists.
