In fairness he was managing Crawley at the time so if it was a Saturday wedding he'd probably have been at the game.

It was a sunday wedding, Crawley played at Barrow on the saturday
so hes that much disliked he has to pay people to go on holiday with him. Kinda like the posh kid at school who threw the best birthday party's just so people will turn up.

So he turned up with the cash in the envelope on the same day as the Barrow game. Sneaky bastard!

A bit of research on google and good old Wikipedia shows that three times at Boston he was under the microscope
These are just a few of the things that Evan's has been convicted/charged with, excluding the usual minor bans, over his illustrious career:
2002 - He was found guilty by The FA in December 2002 of impeding an FA inquiry into contract irregularities. Evans was also suspended from the game for 20 months in January 2003 for involvement of the affairs of Boston, in which players' contracts lodged with the FA contained false salary details. Evans was further accused of impeding the inquiry and fined £8,000.
2005 - In September 2005, Evans and four other people connected with Boston appeared in court, denying fraud charges.
In 2006, Evans changed his plea, pleading guilty to conspiracy to evade tax.
The jury heard the club operated a shadowy system of parallel contracts and secret payments which enabled them to recruit the best players which they otherwise would not have been able to afford. Star striker Ken Charlery told the trial he was given one contract which promised him £620 a week plus a £16,000 signing-on fee. The Lincolnshire club's cheating was so successful that they gained promotion to the Football League in 2002 with a squad of players of whom many were being paid inflated wages written into secret contracts.
On 3 November 2006 Evans received a one-year suspended sentence and a £1,000 fine.Despite these events, Evans kept his manager's position at Boston, a decision that angered the Boston United Supporters' Trust.
2006- On 11 February 2006, he was escorted from Grimsby Town's stadium Blundell Park by Humberside Police at half-time, after he berated the fourth official after being incensed when Grimsby goalkeeper Steve Mildenhall appeared to handle the ball outside his area and was immediately spoken to by a police officer after a complaint of alleged foul and abusive language.
2012- In September, Evans was given a six-match stadium ban and fined £3,000 by the Football Association after being found guilty of "using abusive and insulting words and behaviour" towards a female member of Bradford City's staff, an incident which occurred during his time at Crawley
Wow. Squeaky clean aren't you Steve...

Why? People are free to resign from their jobs to go and work for another employer - just like you or I am.
I get that footballers/managers are contracted but there's nothing to stop someone speaking to their current employer to negotiate a break clause, it not already inserted.
People can work who they chose for as much as they want. Fact of life.

But apart from that he seems pretty honest and decent.

When they get sacked they should then receive the same level of pay as a normal person, the other problem is the lma as soon as a manger is sacked they are out saying not enough time given when they break their contact nowhere to be seen

David Flitcroft: Mansfield set to appoint Swindon manager as boss
Mansfield set to announce Flitcroft.
What the hell is going on..if this is true......is there no loyalty left in football!

Can’t get my head around this. But obviously money talks.
How would the players feel that you just bought to the club....

He’s only been there a year.
I’d say Mansfield is a more secure job too. Swindon’s situation with their owner is at boiling point too I think so may be the ideal time to get out there

For some, it was the Leicester squad getting Ranieri sacked after their iconic title win, for others it was the Neymar scandal... but for you, the straw that broke the camel’s back was David Flitcroft moving from Swindon to Mansfield that pushed you to questioning whether there was any loyalty left in football!!

Going From Swindon to Mansfield. Sideways step at best. Hardly moving for greater or better things.
Nothing surprises me. Be interesting to see how these teams in play off positions fare going forward.

Proven right again? Not so sure I follow.
You must turn around in circles in your life constantly being right and never moving forwards

it is true though
they are both unemployed now
and mowbray is top of league 1. a manager you love to criticise
guess i just know more about what makes a good manager than you do

Managers can have success at some clubs and fail at others.
Mowbray clearly failed here and even said so himself.
As Middlesbrough fans said, when things were going right he was a very good manager, but when things started to go wrong he seemed unable to halt slides.
He has a very strong team at Blackburn and arguably the best, or second best squad in that division.
Hope he does go up. I do like the bloke as a person, but he was a poor manager for us by the end of his tenure and he couldn't correct the very poor summer recruitment decisions he made.
Time to move on.

It's a shame your buddy had no idea tho how to assemble a side in the summer of 2016.
As for your statement your clearly are correct all the time how can anyone question you....
I'll leave you with one vital information tho by the way Steve Evans is the new Peterborough manager...
currently employed.
Disappointing.

The test of TM's management is how he does in the Championship which is where Blackburn should be.

HE WASNT EMPLOYED WHEN I POSTED ORIGINALLY. disappointing from you that.very sly
my "buddy" got us our best place position in a decade. 2 bad months does not erase that. slade got us relegated
this is proven as slade went on to fail and mowbray is top, even if he dont get promoted he has once again proved hes a top manager
I CANNOT BELIEVE YOU WILL NOT APOLOGISE FOR GETTING MOWBRAY WRONG

Sly? Really. Your the man who has to harper on saying how right you always think you are. No one else does. How vain or looking for reassurance are you?
Apologise, what for? I wasn't in charge of the recruitment in the summer of 2016. If I was I'd of assembled a side fit to last a season of registered players to the club.
I'd of gone into the summer with a strategy to match what was tasked of me the season ahead.
I certainly wouldn't of been texting Kelvin Wilson begging him to join...
Ps.... You left your caps lock on...

Way I see it is 2 teams around us in Mansfield and Swindon in random managerial changes at the wrong time in the season. Hopefully it means the players find it hard to adjust...
