'There needed to be more thought behind it'

[gramiller1959]

leon best ... striker ... 33 games .. 0 goals :/ that's quality

and if we're in that much of a mess surely we should have appointed someone with a record of doing something similar elsewhere. As far as i can see Redfearn has no experience of working in these circumstances and little experience of building/rebuilding squads - except at youth level. Thats a big gamble

My,my this is hard work.Evans was given a budget and yes he ran riot with it,but it was given to him to use how he wanted,he squandered it could have used it better.Hope this helps.

Not hard work at all..... He's a manager ever manager has a manager until you come to the owner who is the person to manage 'that' manager....

Budget aside the payments still needed approving and that's where the buck stops
With the Chairman/owner of the club!

The mess we are in is not solely Evans' fault....I would like to think SE has learnt a very harsh lesson over this fiasco....

How do you know that Evans "squandered the budget"? Sounds strange to me that he was allowed to "run riot" when every deal had to be finalised by Paul Douglas. I would have thought budget responsibility was a major part of his job.
Maybe speculation is in danger of being converted to "fact."

Note the comment - there NEEDED to be more thought behind it. Not NEEDS to be more thought behind it.

A clear criticism of Evans

Mellow is absolutely correct and it's not a difficult concept to grasp..TS is the Chairman and he must have sanctioned the spending one would assume as there is no other logical conclusion.

As such he is ultimately responsible for our spending position which appears to be not good.

It's still to be seen whether the policy of bringing in a couple of youngsters, checking out one or two unemployed, moaning that the players are no good, using a system of play that the players are not capable of playing and strange team selections will bring us a couple of promotions.

I have a view but we will see!

That's basically all Redfearn has done since he arrived and he's beginning to sound a bit pathetic.
Just get on with your bloody job Neil and put some points on the board. Maybe people will start taking you seriously then!

Look,i'll make it simple,the wife gives you £100 and says make that last for 12 month,but you spend it within a month,thats 11 month without cash,she did'nt have to approve anything she gave it to you as your'e budget.Going for a lie down now.UTM

Chairman wants us to stop in this league. Need abit of experience in the side but not past there best. Need at least a Right back in for sat' with the legs to get up & down. Central midfield if we don't get anyone in Smallwood with either Frecklington or Thorpe. Think Redfearn needs some help, Black seems a blackboard coach but no drive. There's coach's out there who would get more out of the players.

I love this eternal argument.

I think two promotions has learnt naff all TBH, he'll never change. Plus it's not worked out bad for him has it? The man knows how to get what he wants and I doubt he cares about the messes he's left behind, it's no surprise that TS a man who admits he has a lot to learn about the game fell for a man like Evans.

Gonna try not to post any more on the subject (what's that? 'thank fluck for that' I hear you say) I just hope that things aren't as bad as they look.
