With regards to your comments about Steve Evans leaving clubs in a better condition than he found them. Suggest you speak with a couple of his ex Chairman and you may change your opinion.

What's the deal with block 16? Tried to buy some tickets but it won't let me.
Is there a restriction for non-season ticket holders? Seem to remember something about it.

Depends how you measure "better off"
Despite Nicks attempt at humour with his empty fridge pic ( initially thought his giro hadn't arrived so he couldn't feed his family) it could be liableous to post on here what I know, so will refrain from commenting.
Last four jobs include Mansfield and Leeds so not sure how you measure those as successful
Jury still out at Peterborough. They are at same point as he joined them currently having spent all his budget for the year. We will see at the end of the season.
Rotherham .....granted he had two promotions but at a great cost internally.

Well by better off I mean....
When he took over Mansfield they were 3 points of the bottom yet bizarrely 3 points off the play offs in 19th spot. They were a side who’d won 1 game in 11. By the end of 2016/17 season they missed out on the playoffs by 4 pts in 12th spot.
The following season when he left for Peterborough they were 2pts off the autos in the play offs.
The attendances at Mansfield had also gone up 25% too from a average of 3,439 to 4,757.
At Leeds they were 1pt off the relegation spot and finished 13th with a toxic regime begins the scenes with massimo cellino being disqualified as owner.
Rotherham both he and chairman Tony Stewart parted amicably with differing opinions to the direction of the club, after he took them to the championship from league two.
At Crawley he gave them promotion to the football league leaving them in the play offs before leaving for Rotherham.
So he’s left them all far better off.

He likes a “deal” and has previously had his “fingers in a few pies”

The way you go on it's like you want him to finger your pie.
Sorry, just couldn't let that term go un-noticed after you had written his CV!

Good work, I’ll give you that one.
I did say I’ll take the backlash, appreciate why he’s not liked but I also see what he can do for a side at L1 and L2.

In terms of Stevenage and Wycombe I hope... not Darius Henderson’s big moment on sky at Peterborough!

I want to win with a contentions penalty after they have a perfectly good goal disallowed, their man gets sent off after we dive and Doyle doesn't even get booked for assault off the ball. Full gammon Evans after.

Here he is PepGuardiola4life.
I get you appreciate beautiful football, I think we all do however we’re not looking to reinvent the wheel at this level.
A winning brand of football, 3pts on a Saturday evening and promotions are all that’s desired at this level.
And on the point of Steve Evans I go against the majority and just offered the facts as I would on many different subjects. The world is full of sheep who don’t make there own judgements and hang off those of others.
All you can do is offer facts and then people can do as they please. Many are aware he’s a clown with his antics but not what he does as a manager of a football club.
I like to be different and form my opinion, just like you. We’re just polar opposites.
Doesn’t make either of us right tho does it.

Steve Evans said Robins was after the England job after a 1-1 draw with Mansfield in league 2 #steveevansfacts
steve82

Ha ha, well nearly....
what he actually said after 1-1 draw with the Stags: "I’ve just watched Robins, little Robins, the manager who thinks he should be the manager of England, absolutely slaughtering Danny Rose on the field of play - ignored.
"We’re going to have counter attacks when they’ve got players like [Marc] McNulty, [Jonson] Clarke-Harris and [Michael] Doyle on big money, and little squeaky Robins, who says that they don’t do all that stuff.

It was bitterness as both McNulty and JCH turned the fat twat and his tinpot team down before signing for us

Was it... maybe more frustration as what could of been for his team as yes he almost got McNulty and was interested in JCH if I recall.
He was very complimentary to us in fact.......”credit to Coventry players, I’m not faulting their players, they’ve run to the end for their team, they’ve put bodies on the line, the supporters were tremendous, the atmosphere was like a play-off game”

No I appreciate what he’s installed at Man City and how it works. It takes a good group of talented players to adapt to that way tho, it’s top level football to be played on elite pitches.
It’s not something thats practical to install lower down the leagues tho hence I’m in favour of a dinosaur manager say at this level. Reality is the quality of the players mean they would not be able to implement it.
For the record I’m a fan of Eddie Howe in the top flight.
In short football is in reality a simple game over complicated with tactics.
They are good on there travels this season, lost one away from home this season (happened to be the week they was in my accy) they have recruited well, counter attack well and can score freely at times.
You’d like to think we’ve enough to give them a good game for sure

Once Pep has won the world with City he should try his hand at a club going broke in the lower leagues, see how he takes on that challenge. He could even pick one with a similar kit colour if it made him feel better...
