Key Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 Steve Evans appears quite odious. The thing is though is that he is a cracking manager with a great track record to prove it. He uses every tool in his box to achieve results. He's very good at the "no-one likes us because they're scared of little old us" - so much so that he had the pig fans hating Rovrum last season. I don't know how I'd feel if he became our manager. On one hand, I can't stand him but on the other hand, his record as a manager that can deliver is second to none. Evans is one of life's paradoxes. He looks like your archetypical loser but he is unbelievably successful. He'll get snapped up by one of the big teams soon. Possibly, he may not have the tools to handle a big team but I wouldn't be surprised if he was very successful. Yeah but the "no-one likes us because they're scared of little old us" only works if you're at a little club. That's why the big/MASSIVE teams haven't taken him on. Oh, and cos he's a *** ****!

horny owl Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 Rotherham are the diddiest of the diddies. Very happy Stevie told them to bolt. Evans had a hard sell but Wednesday sells itself. The Rotherham fans have been very disrespectful on our Saints forum too.Rotherham fans are the very definition of the term 'Chav'They make Barnsley fans look intelligent.

Let's see how he does before hailing him as the transvestite Mourinho. He's always had better resources at his disposal than his competitors and there is a whole list of managers that are successful at lower levels that couldn't cut the blusher when they step up.

***HIRSTY*** Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 It must be hard for Stevie, leaving your home town club where you are idolised to the relatively unknown. I hope he hits the ground running for our sake but it's not just about football ability, he's going to need time to adjust on a personal level.

sage owl Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 St Johnstone: The home of the best steak pies in any football club anywhere in the world: Owlstalk FACT! I think we need to ask Steve Evans his opinion on this one he has after all eaten ALL the pies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dukeries Owl Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 From what I've seen of Stevie May, albeit on Sky playing in Scotland last season, he will offer us something different. He doesn't rely exclusively on chances being given to him on a plate but makes a good percentage of his own chances, his pace and movement looked good, although we'll have to consider the pace of his opposing defenders in the SPL in that. People have also pointed out that he doesn't score that much with his head:- did Gary Lineker? (not that I'm comparing him just yet ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freshfish Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 I think we need to ask Steve Evans his opinion on this one he has after all eaten ALL the pies. ...he must have sampled them when he made the effort to sign May by travelling all the way up past Edinburgh and along the M/A9 to Perth. He would agree I'm sure...him being an honest man with a certain humility about him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shezza Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 Stevie does look a little like he just returned from the civil war in Syria, doesn't he? He's going to bomb in them goals! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReadingOwl Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 They're playing the wage structure card at the moment but they have signed a hell of a lot of players and if be surprised if they are making ends meet. It's pretty much unviable to do that in this league. In all seriousness - and, without bitterness, I don't know how they do it. It can't be sustainable with their crowds. I'm expecting it to all end in tears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snaykz Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 Surprised he didn't lure SM to toytown with the contents of a brown paper bag given his previous. (allegedly) Don't think there's anything 'alleged' about it really. He was convicted and given a suspended jail sentence. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/5412612.stm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
