    Neither.

    Reply in full now….

    Neither.

    And before you ask who else, we both know that’s a difficult one.
    Our club is run financially well, but use of team growth money not so well. Of late, squandered, both often because we have not built upon successes by careful on field use.
    This applies to the chairman and more than one manager.
    So, what has led us to a straight choice between LR and Evans?
    Stewart, that’s what.

    Managers.
    LR, looks as though he shook the tree, all reset now. TS got told some home truths perhaps?….that went down well I imagine.
    Media give hints, but it adds up now. Square peg, round hole.
    I don’t like his PR, and the half a lost sheep approach, if that was what he was like internally….but his tactics with so called better players? Enough for me that.
    Some may say, not seen enough. There was enough to say it wasn’t going to work.

    Evans, well we know full well what we will get. Stewart gone for what he knows, a man after his own wallet.
    Due to finances, the free transfer / freebie pick and mix man (on steroids, out there on his own) suits Stewart nicely.
    Our shortsighted chairman still citing the old mantra….best chance of a bounce back.
    Watch what we spend, because it won’t be much, because now we can’t.
    Evans is the Hare, it either works or it doesn’t. Not a considered approach, unstable, volatile….and the football is mediocre till it manages to click (after jan loans) risky business. Not worked at D1 level anywhere else, has it?
    And now he is ten years older.
    What has been shown in between and come to pass fully supports the above.

    Pair that against Warne. And managers like him. Sensible managers.

    Someone else.

    Redfern, stubbs, jackett, taylor, LR. Square pegs, round holes and Stewart sooner or later finds out.

    And for many years during 2012 - 2024…..Stewart stumbled on a round peg, then let him go. Shortsighted.
    Doesn’t matter if you like or dislike any of the above managers.

    Stewart’s glasses are round but he sees square images. Not hard to see the problem.

    Of the 5 bought, 2 we didn’t make much if any money on…..

    If your point is he made us money on players sold, we paid out 1.1m on bought players. We had a share off ward and full off agaard and smallwood.
    But bowrey and C Harris we lost money on….

    So, making money is mute point because all the turnover of players (which agents will now get a big fee off) will cost us.

    Bet you hadn’t thought of that?
    I wasn't making a point I was asking a question. Your very aggressive with your posts tonight maybe the appointment of Mr E has got you miffed?

    Evo'll get 'em fired up for the weekend, and hopefully three points. Always said he's a good 'un.

    We must have spent more money on compensation since taylor was signed than we have on players.

    And, why isn’t the compensation payments entered into accounts? Must have overlooked when I looked at them….
    Sorry buts that’s just rubbish. People who care about the club have opinions one way or another. To say it’s a lack of common sense is well someone who in this post is displaying a lack of common sense.
    I respect the fact you don’t want him but just because some do doesn’t make them wrong.
    He’s back and he will get judged on results.
    He did pretty well on that score last time.

    It is short termism from TS. Fatty may do well he may not but it wont stop the yo yo at best until infrasteucti at the club is better. Maybe TS is quietly happy with a yo yo. Just don't grumble when we are struggling to stay in champ again assuming we get up.

    Roly, you spout on about respect on this board and then you go and use that term for our manager. Really!

    Wasn't Evo sacked for wasting his money ?
    I'm sure there will be a closer watch on the finances this time, maybe he's changed , we'll see soon.

    No TLC, they parted ways last time due to personal conflict so to speak, but it's now all water under the bridge and all have made up with each other.
