Guest beatleowl Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 They no eachother from Wolves days and Dave Jones says he has "no immediate plans to change the backroom staff and will see how things work." My question would be do we keep Chris Evans who is undoubtably passionate about his job and up to the task, or will we have a complete overhaul? I think its probably best to keep him considering the amount of games left, also a familiar face in the dressing room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

s6 owl Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 He says he has to see the way chris evans and the other backroom staff work first. No immediate plans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shandypants Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 It must be hard for Evans. He is contracted to the club but his management partner has been sacked. He has a stay of execution which must be unsettling and how does he show his loyalty to GM? Very difficult for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rivelin Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 He might get his wish to go to an away game as a Wednesday supporter sooner than he wanted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wilyfox Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 i hope he stays; he's a part of the Megson regime that has elevated us to 3rd place. to abandon all we've been working towards with 13 games to go would be a huge gamble. replacing Megson with Jones does not guarantee promotion; combining Jones' ideas with Megson's foundation via Evans could potentially make a difference.

Guest utOwlz Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Id definatly keep Chris Evans, hes my favourite assistant manager we have had, and his passion is infectious, if Dave Jones has worked with him before i hope he can do it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree - is it just me or have these touch line celebrations with players and staff really been more directed towards Evans, Thompson and Rhodes than GM. It even seemed that way on Sunday. This is not a criticism of GM rather an endorsement of the wish to keep Evans in post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest AnotherOwl Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Would be a real shame to see him go too. Comes across as a top bloke, and seems to really know what he's talking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he does go I will miss his Churchill style speech/interviews on radio sheff. Must have had so many of our curly tailed neighbours screaming at the radio 9 minutes in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thejelman Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 I love Chris Evans as much as the rest of you and agree with much of the above, but the question is, does he want to stay, long-term? Yes, he loved the experience here and has developed a special affinity with the fans but... It is just possible that he does his best work when partnering Meggo. If GM gets a new post and wants Chris alongside him, will their professional bond be too much for Chris to resist? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the mighty wednesday Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 I'm sure that Jones and Evans working together before was a factor in the decision to appoint DJ/ and or retain the rest of the management team. The more the dust settles the more it seems to get clearer that Milan didn't want to change too much too quickly apart from getting Megson out. Yes his dismissal still looks egotistical, shabby, reckless and unethical but Evans is still there for continuity and perhaps more importantly to pick the players up and tell them that they have to do it cos Gary will be expecting them to do it for the Wednesday and themselves. It will be Dave Jones' decision whether he brings his own people in at some stage but I suspect Chris Evans position was a big part of the interview process. I also suspect that I wasn't alone in being a bit less fearful of the effects of the sacking once i knew Chris Evans was staying, for a while at least.
