Quoted from diehardmariner
Covered a few times on various posts on this forum, there's a lot of the UndrTheCosh interviews where he's brought up with an underlying current theme about him:

Players hate him, yet they can all accept that he's got this knack of getting the best out of players and making things click.  I wonder if he creates unity in the dressing room with the hatred of him as the uniting factor.  Whatever it is, it works.  

Can't remember who it was but there's a great story where he's on a team bus and he goes to the toilet on the coach, but basically ends up shitting down the back of his shirt because he's too big to move it out the way.  Grim but hilarious.


There is a local comparison as to peoples reaction to SE. Years ago there was a famous ( or infamous !!) Grimsby trawling skipper whose knickname was "The Beast". He was very successful, universally hated by all who sailed with him but never failed to get a crew and even had those who would always sail with him. He was a most odious and unpleasant person but he was very good at what he did. You don't have to be liked by those that work for you if the financial rewards are good , it all depends on what any individual is prepared to tolerate.
As regards SE, he has proved to be a successful manager at the level he has operated but I wouldn't want him managing GTFC.

I wonder which strikers will be on his shopping list, maybe players he has previously worked with, especially with locality.

Having scored 6 times for him in a League Two side and then happily sold him ahead of a League One campaign (one in which Stevenage couldn't really have expected to have done this well), I can't imagine Rose will be on Evans' wanted list, especially with the expectation on Rotherham for an instant return to the second tier.

Evans is a divisive character for sure, I dont particularly like him or his personality but cant help but admire his achievments in managment,
I think there is an element of pantomine villain in him which he enjoys playing up to,
He never tries to be popular or a nice guy but lets his talent as a manager show through his teams successes.
