Reet, who's next?

Doesn’t seem clear that they are negotiating the figure before he gets interviewed or they have already interviewed him and it’s up to the clubs to sort compensation out ?

250k sounds a very high amount when you think about it

It's a high stake gamble that's for sure, but going off his stats, it's a gamble worth taking imo.

They could have spoken to his representatives.

What are you even on about. 

Glad its not just me. All these folk fretting about Evatt and compensation and the state of the playing squad. Lets just give FV benefit of doubt.  they have identified an ambitious (for our current position) target and will know how much they are prepared to pay. if it doesn't happen then on to plan B.

As for the playing squad despite what that idiot Iles says having so many out of contract is an advantage. Salary cap would negate the embargo and work for us. post covid there will be a heap of decent talent available. what we need is a manager prepared to wotk within FV model and organise a decent team. its a gamble but no way would i be trusting David Lee Kevin Nolan etc with it.

Two years left on his contract so c£2,500 per week does seem a little steep.

He’s like to be more £500 a week i reckon.

Although everyone, me included, seems happy with Steve Evatt - I'm starting to have reservations regarding Tobias Phoenix...

I saw a picture of him in the BEN and he was wearing a parka with a fur-trimmed hood.

It was probably upwards of £600+ but he favvered a cheap streetwalker.

How are we supposed to trust his judgement of a player if he can't even pick himself any decent clobber?

I think people are overestimating the responsibilities of Phoenix. The manager will still be identifying the players and then it is down to Phoenix to complete the deal, leaving the manager more time to focus on what he's already got rather than dicking about with wage negotiations.

He needs to make a statement regarding this jacket. He should just claim his missus bought it for him and he didn't have the heart to tell her it was shite, ffs.

Thing is If they don't get him for whatever reason - 

Whoever they then appoint knows he was not the preferred choice

and many fans are left feeling that they are getting a "second rate " choice 

As for FV if you identify a target and go into negotiations unable to reach an agreement because you cannot raise the cash , you have got to question their reasoning for starting the negotiations in the first place and raising expectations

"If" (Ahem...) it came out that he'd already visited the stadium and training ground, could Barrow have a case for us tapping him up?

I'm not a violent man, but I'd be eyeing that hood with a view to ragging Carl about by it.

Very much so. 

I'm not fussed if we don't get Evatt. Let's face it he has a cracking managerial record over the last 6 months only! 250k seems excessive for an unproven manager imo.

I suspect they would have some kind of inkling or informal nod from an agent about how much it would cost to get his guy out of there.  If someone else has decided that's not enough, that could be the reason for the impasse. I wouldn't automatically blame FV for that, sometimes people smell an opportunity to inflate their prices and if they decide to walk away because of that I'd support them.

Hope there's an agreement to be reached though. I prefer to get someone in without any sentiment involved than bring Nolan on the strength of what he achieved here on the pitch. 

 

Looks like someone has stuck a tenner on Richie Wellens, I'm not guilty this time.

Iles saying we offered around 150000

Not a bad opening offer, but (quite rightly) Barrow will be looking at that as only another £20k above what was offered by Fylde last year. I’m pretty confident we’ll get him, and it won’t be for the full £250k, but I expect it to be nearer to £200k. 

We’ve got him haven’t we? Deal done 
 

welcome ian evatt 

 

no it’s a fake tweet. Cunts. Dirty cunts
