Quoted from bostonian
Ipswin has clearly not followed Evans career like most on this thread.    To repeat the summing up by Graham Bean FA Investigator,  Evans was the common denominator to all that whent wroung in what should have been Bostons hour of glory.
As for Evans wise spending ,  what financial position did he leave his former clubs Holbeach and Stamford in ?
Here at Boston his claims made about fees received for sold players amount to £500K income .
Yet when he left we were £3.5millon in debt.  plus the high court ruled that we underpaid tax.
All this adds up to the fact during his time at Boston we got though in excess of £4millon .
When he came to Boston we were in the what is now the southern league , when he left thanks to him and his cronies we were effectively demoted to the Unibond , the same level as when he first arrived.    All this at the cost of £4millon .
A man who bought shame to BUFC and football and showed no remorse to the people of Boston for the mess he left the club in .


Totally agree with you. I made the "spending wisely" comment in a football sense - he has built teams well. (if somewhat illegally )

I knew  a lad from Stamford at uni. He hated Evans and would not have shared a tear if he had died. He said (2002) police were looking into Stamfords financial situation and warned several of us about Evans.

The man is as corrupt and as unsporting as they come.

You are right Iswin , Evans delivered our "hour of glory" sadly it was by cheating and spending money we had not got .
Most forums up and down the land vent their anger towards him .    

Must add that no way should Rob Scott be compared with this man .   Scott may get carried away with emotion at times but is a hounourable man.

Looking forward to hearing his excuses after another defeat tonight.

No doubt he'll moan that the winning goal was a foul but the bloke just used his strength in my opinion. Nothing wrong with it at all.

And to be fair to him he conducted himself in the post-match interview well. If
his side continue to play as they did tonight with a fair share of luck thay will be
thereabouts at the end of May.

Not a likeable man but gets the best out of his players.
