Are you embarrassed by Steve Evans behaviour? Surely the novelty of his actions are starting to wear thin.

Nope, Personally I don't give a fuck how he conducts himself on the sidelines so long as we win games. Everyone knows he's a bellend, It's never going to change.

Raynor is not even close to Evans.

This stuff is getting old though, yeah he’s a twat but he’s probably going to get us promoted while spending a lot of money.

I don’t think it’s very interesting for other fans really, I don’t get it.

Are you sure , have you seen his daughter?

The one thing with FatBoy is , he is interesting! Whether he's speaking with a forked tongue in interviews, losing half his lunch whilst screaming obscenities at match officials, or running down the touchline with half is body weight on display he's never dull.

He's a vile man, he's thoroughly disliked in footballing circles, and more so amongst supporters, he's successful when given money, he has a questionable and colourful past but he's never dull. I wouldn't want him anywhere near the world's oldest professional league club, and if he was appointed (rumours were abound not too long ago) I wouldn't attend Notts games whilst he was in charge , but that's a personal preference. Most fans are more than happy to put up with it, ignore it, accept it, as long as it means promotion! And its hard to argue with that tbh.

Above all he's embarrassing whether its in post match interviews, or more commonly and to a much higher degree his antics during the 90 mins on the sidelines.

He’s also been successful without money, it’s a myth that he’s only done well when backed heavily.

The only positive thing I can say about him is he’s a good manager, although to be fair he’s been poor so far this season.

He's a fuckwit who talks shite and behaves ridiculously but he upsets easily offended opposition fans so that's good enough for me.

Oh, another thread about Steve Evans, how refreshing.

Are the simpletons who post about him new to football or do they not know about his antics?

He'll get the Stags promoted this season (as he should with the level of recruitment and once again a generous chairman's financial backing) so the vast majority of Staggies will be very happy with that.

The good thing for home fans is FatBoy is on the far side of the pitch so you don't have to hear the disgusting things he shouts at officials/players ("break his f****** legs" was the worst I ever heard him shout to one of his players regarding an opposition player.... he shouted it more than once, just to make sure the message got across and everyone heard..... what a lovely fat man?!)

Other fans of clubs he's managed haven't been so fortunate.

I don't think he will get them promoted, I will go as far as saying he will be sacked before the season is out!

From an entertainment perspective him and Raynor on the touchline are pretty good.

I don't think he's anything special as a manager. He buys decent players and gets them up for a scrap, but there's nothing tactically innovative or wonderful from a coaching perspective.

Our league position should be better but there's still a lot of football to be played.

You're a bit late to the party. he's been doing it since his Boston days 17 years ago, i think it wore thin with everyone years ago.

Surely anyone could get Mansfield promoted with that budget? So why not go up with a decent manager, rather than a convicted tax cheat?
Personally I find his ranting hilarious. His dummy spitting last season when we beat them was a highlight.

I don’t think the team with the second/third biggest budget in the league always go up so, no not everybody could get Mansfield promoted with the budget provided.

They don't always go up, naturally, but he should without doubt get Mansfield up.

Is he the worst person in the Football League? English football?

Lee Hughes does win in the absolute knobhead department to be fair.

It was disgusting, almost unforgivable what Lee Hughes did that night.

So Fat Boy has taken his crown, the worst man in football is the leader of men at MTFC.

How apt.

This Lee Hughes character sounds like that Marlon King dude, and what's his name who came back into football, Ched Evans? Questionable behaviour (by all) for sure away from the world of football.

Adam what's you view on cheats in football, and fraud in football? And more pertinently both, combined?

He's a bellend. If it wasn't for his touchline rants though, it'd have me believing that all he is, is a Waitrose David Holdsworth.

Talks as much shite, signs as many players, and is just as tactically inept, for more than triple the price. It's only his cuntishness on the sidelines that means it can't be Reg in a fat suit.

I have no qualms with Evans' antics if it doesn't influence refs. I'd say that most of the time it doesn't, but there are still weak refs who will be scared of him. On Tuesday it was clear from the first few mins that the ref wasn't going to stand for it and it was inevitable he was going to be sent off.

Raynor is worse in my view - he reminds me of the assistant coach in American Pie who basically just repeats what the head coach says. At least you can understand Evans losing his rag, he's the manager so has the most to lose. Raynor just looks like some special case who's won a prize to sit on the bench with the manager, and takes it a bit too seriously.

Evans doesn't even compare to someone like Hughes, if Evans wasn't a fat bastard, he'd be nowhere near as renowned.

Paul , I'm not sure his hefty weight when he steps on the scales is the thing that has him so disliked by the footballing world.

Raynor is just an echoing muppet, a ginger puppet , someone to support fat boy on the sidelines. I've never heard him ask a player to "break someone's legs" . They are quite the (needless) double act each and every week.

No-one in football was as bad as him. Literally left someone for dead and shouldn't ever have been allowed back into football.
Ask ChrisFGR for his opinion on Lee Hughes. #toplad
