Who’s to say Atherton ain’t a massive part of Evatts success? He’s a wealth of experience as a player at top level and played under some top managers, I’d not be so keen on Evatt without his assistant.

If he’s that integral i would hope Evatt insists. If he’s ok with him not coming then it shows how important he is some are critical some aren’t. Hill and Flitcroft it was difficult to determine, Lennon, it all went tits up when Mjalby went Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blondi Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 If Atherton rates Evatt highly enough, which I'd imagine he will, he'd be better off sticking with Evatt for the long term. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantra Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 I listened to that Evatt hour-long interview finally. Sounds like an intelligent man. Interesting that he notes that he wants and believes he will be a Premier League manager in the future. I’ve seen a few online saying that they think Lowe would shoot off to the next best job as soon as it calls. I don’t think Evatt is exempt from that same that expectation. Imagine we get him and he gets us promoted and then doing well in League 1, it wouldn’t take long for the championship to come calling. I know that’s looking way too far into the future, and if he got us promoted and back to a more stable position I’d happily take that if he went off to Derby for example. i just don’t think he should be singles out for being a more “loyal” choice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will be meltdowns and tantrums as we lose our best assets but at least it would mean we're doing something right and watching something half decent in the process for once.

If this atherton rates evatt he would be better sticking on is coat tails to the top rather than risking staying at barrow . Or may be bwfc don’t want the assistant and have promised it to Lee .

Whilst I agree to an extent, it also concerns me that when you get a manager you are "lumbered" with them bringing their team with them. So we were forced to employ Lenni Lawrence, whether or not he was the best no 2 available to us at the time. Peter Atherton has no history of coaching or of being an assistant manager. Evatt sounds like he'll make a plan work whoever he works with, he should be advertising the role and seeing who applies, we might be surprised at the standard of coaches that apply. It doesn't sit well that we just bring his "mate" on a 2 or 3 year contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Youri McAnespie Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 Tempting fate but this is our nadir - we simply can't get shitter. Steve Evatt might be a twat ultimately but this season - league 1 or bust Champions by March. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duck Egg Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 I'm not convinced re the Atherton story. I suspect it's just the deal being thrashed out between us and Barrow and in today's times where folk want instant answers, some are using the quiet period to make up their own story.

Traf Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 Any compensation figure is a moot point anyway. Club A need a manager. A smaller Club B like their manager that much that they publicly announce they won't let him leave for less than £250k Club A decide they want Club B's manager and make a low offer for him Club B decline the bid, but their manager decides he'd really like to join Club A Club B now cannot feasibly keep their manager and reluctantly have to compromise with Club A on the settlement figure. This happens all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bolty58 Posted June 29, 2020 Members Share Posted June 29, 2020 Deja vu this. It seemed an eternity to be saved by FV. Now this seems to be another marathon. Death by a thousand cuts! Be glad when we are sorted and the serious work of plotting our immediate return to League One and beyond can start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
