he seems a decent bloke, and well versed, had quite a charmed life, ex Royal Marine Commando in 40 unit. he served 8yrs.

he must have gone in at 20yrs of age to come out at 28yrs old and start playing football again as a pro.

why would you not want to play for somebody like that? to much player power at times, resulting into Managers losing there jobs.

Either the chairman hasn't the balls to stand up to the fans or he's now admitting he made a mistake in giving a 3 year contract. Hope it costs him lots. Far too soon to sack a manager :roll:

So they have to pay his 3 year contract off meaning they are not gonna spend a fortune on his replacement!
Anyone else worried the Jimbo fits the criteria for that job?

Not an ideal club for him. Fair distance and not the most promising outfit. Chairman who gets rid of his manager after 6 games under pressure from the fans. I might be a bit more concerned if he was coming to the end of his contract.

A bit unlucky. He leaves them 2 divisions higher than when he took charge.

Pretty low I would say, they are skint these days and he only tends to go places with big budgets.

Good point.
He does tend to go to places with wads of cash.
It's an easier job with an unlimited budget at this level, like Luton!!

Assistant manager Paul Raynor has also departed, with first-team coach driver Eric Black placed in temporary charge.

A club statement on the Rotherham website said that chairman Tony Stewart and Evans "wished to head in a different direction so we've got a new sat-nav."

No surprise Butcher gone, clueless appointment.

They are not as moneybags as they were. Pilley has cut the budget quite considerably.

If we don't go , up a dream scenario next season is Blackpool , Fleetwood and the mighty Shrimps in the same division :D :D :D :D

Speaking to a mate of mine last night in Scotland and he reckons Evans is being lined up for Motherwell or Dundee United.

Graham Alexander possibles for either role too I said back.

Sheridan should do well for Newport by getting them out of the bottom 2.
