IAN EVATT

Would Evo be interested ? We snubbed him last time around when he was at Barrow for not having enough experience and then proceeded to give the job to the even less experienced Neil Critchley !
Tbf it was a different kind of experience. Critch had every coaching badge going, over a decade of experience coaching players at every level and a glowing CV as well as great feedback from managers and players at top clubs. Evatt had a few months with Chesterfield as emergency manager and 1 (albeit successful) season with Barrow.

BUT

I do agree now would be the time for Evatt if he could be tempted away from Bolton.
 
I agree I think that’s the route we will go down or some up and coming manager from lg1 or lg2. I don’t see us going to the usual out of work manager merry go round, I think we will go for another Critch type - develops youth and develops the players we have, identifies lower league/academy talent etc. I also think (hope) we will move quickly if we can, can’t afford to be a club without a manager when the players return for pre season on 23 June ( I think?). We faffed around a bit when we appointed Critchley so think we will have learned from that. I see you going for Liam Manning, Evo and I know everyone will hate this but Robinson at Oxford - he is not everyone’s cup of tea but ticks all the boxes we want.
Sorry but if they employed Robinson I wouldn't renew my season ticket .
 
People be will say that about other managers as well.
Like me, if we appoint Mowbray I won’t, he’s managed to kill off all atmosphere at Ewood in the style of play he introduced.
Never been any atmosphere there since Shearer
