All you need to know about Mr Evan’s, perhaps he should sign a certain Mr L Taylor, a match made in heaven if ever I saw one7

With the season over for both clubs, it makes sense for Evans to get in early. Identify the deadwood ahead of preseason.2

Interesting development bearing in mind Evans had signed a pre-contract with Fehevar.45

Rotherham will now be more of a threat in League One next season under Evans
Has got a couple of promotions during his last spell there

His sidekick Paul Raynor has also left with him.
Both are not nice characters1 - Sponsored links:

Must've been one of those non legally binding contracts 🙄king addick said:4 -
Looks as though it'll make Rotherham - who would likely have been a threat anyway - stronger next season, but considerably weaken Stevenage.1

Stevenage had faded in the second half of the season anyway. I imagine Evans saw that they had reached their plateau.Paddy7 said:Looks as though it'll make Rotherham - who would likely have been a threat anyway - stronger next season, but considerably weaken Stevenage.0 -
You would think he would have waited until the end of the season but nasty pieces of work like him don't have any ethics1

Never let it be said that Evans is one to talk to other teams either before resigning himself or before the Manager he is replacing is sacked:ct_addick said:You would think he would have waited until the end of the season but nasty pieces of work like him don't have any ethics
Resigned from Boston and became Crawley manager within 48 hours of doing so
Resigned from Crawley to be announced as Rotherham manager on the same day
Left Rotherham and was made Leeds manager three weeks later with the announcement of his appointment coming on the same day Leeds sacked Uwe Rosler
Resigned from Mansfield and was appointed Peterborough head within 24 hours
Departs from Stevenage to be appointment at Rotherham on the same day
In the last 20 years he's had nine jobs but never been unemployed for more than five months. In fact, he's only been unemployed for 12 months (most of which he would have been more than compensated for in severance pay) in total so it wouldn't be a surprise to learn that either he or his agent make it known to clubs of his availability some time before he leaves his previous employment.

Isn't this the case for the vast majority of people in any profession though? I wouldn't resign from my job until i'd spoken to another company and had a confirmed job offer from them. I would expect that's the case for most people.Addick Addict said:

He's getting a bit of stick for this but i'm not sure he's done a lot wrong here. Obviously Rotherham sounded him or his agent out first but i'm pretty sure that would be the case for any manager. It's not something unique to only Steve Evans. Rotherham then made an official approach, he said he wanted to go and the two clubs agreed compensation.
Fair play to the guy, being employed for all but 5 months in 20 years in football management is a superb achievement.6 -
Nailed on Stevenage will get relegated now but would expect Rotherham to be up there even more now
The very definition of a yo yo club0 -
It is the same in most professions but football is different when it comes to loyalty.Chris_from_Sidcup said:

With 12 games to go and having been backed to the hilt by the Mansfield Chairman with one of the biggest transfer budgets in League 2, with Mansfield in fifth and just two points behind the top three, Evans told the Chairman that he needed to resign because he wanted to go to China to manage. Some 24 hours later he was appointed League 1 Peterborough Manager. Peterborough were in eighth place, two points off a play-off place and the expectation was promotion but they lost five of their final six games and finished ninth. Mansfield ended up in 8th, three points off the Play Offs. Evans had successfully screwed the promotion chances of two sides in the space of a couple of months.
Maybe, just maybe, Evans meant the China Garden in Peterborough when he spoke to the Mansfield Chairman? Perhaps it was the lure of all those sweet and sour pork balls, spare ribs and singapore noodles that proved too much for Evans not to stomach.0 -
Clearly Evans has always got one eye on his next meal ticket.6

If Evans found a club sponsored by Greggs he’d be there in a flash, on a long term contract1

A good appointment by Rotherham.
Whatever anyone's view is of him it must be said that he's a very good manager at league one level.2 -
So he clearly does talk to other clubs before he leaves then?!Addick Addict said:

A major job to turn a dispirited Rotherham team into promotion contenders. Steve Evans has a lot on his plate.4
