Grant McCann - Manager

[superposh80]

....And there's me thinking it was Grant McCann that did mid table...

On a budget that only Evans can dream of at Mansfield.

[DaveLister]

It'll be a disaster if we don't appoint him BP. In years to come we'll erect a memorial to him in Glebe Rd, to recognise the dual failure of this season. While Mansfield reach the giddy heights of League Two mid table.

I wish we were mid table in 5th

It's only february. Evans has got plenty of time to screw that up.

Aye that's true. But he does have a track record of promotions on his CV too

It won't be Evans. You read it here first.

[Chompy]

It won't be Evans. You read it here first.

Because?

Because?

Because he was the first to say it, it's not rocket science

[Chompy]

Maybe try to be less naive?

It's literally weeks since that Marco Silva-Watford-Everton nonsense played out. You always take football folk at their word?

[Chompy]

Think his chances of getting the Scunthorpe gig have gone tbh.

However, a job has just become available with a L2 club (about to get relegated from L1) in the nearby area.

Would he? I would if I were him. Winklepickers has always seemed a bit of a fan too.

14-1 with BetVictor and 16-1 with Skybet.

Dunno. Right now he's spending a lot of time gaining coaching experience at other clubs and having a lot of family time. If he goes to MK it'll be soon you'd think so he can have a decent pre season, but surely he can do better than them.

[Chompy]

1-2 to become next Barnsley manager.

Baffling tbh. This is a top L1 job.

[trevormans]

If he is as bad a manager as some people on this website claim, then should our response be not "its baffling" but rather "whoopee".

as it clearly removes one of our potential serious rivals from the peloton

[Chompy]

Of course, it's good for us. As long as our remaining signgins are somewhat more ambitious and we start the season looking up rather than down.

Sunderland will walk this league whatever. 9-2 with Skybet is a gift.

They've got an excellent young manager and their three first touted signing are going to be for approx £3m, £1m and £1m.

Our first three were free, free and free. Therein lies the difference.

Baffling tbh. This is a top L1 job.

Why? He is a former Tykes player scoring four goals in over 40 appearances. Went to Barnsley for £100,000 from Cheltenham before joining Scunthorpe and then Posh.
More likely 'worrying' as he could just be a manager that slows down our progress next season.
Wherever he goes I wish him well but just hope that it is not at our expense!

[Chompy]

It's baffling because this is a big job by L1 standards and he's shown time and again he's not up to it.

[john316z]

Hope he gets it. 2 easy games for us next year
They should have a good squad for L1 assuming they remain with them

Promotion will be a tough ask but Evans gives us more hope iny book subject to remaining signings of course
