Most honoured?

[ParisStag]

Have we appointed the most successful manager in English football history (in terms of promotions)??

Steve Warnock, Dave Bassett and Graham Taylor all have 7 and I can't find any others with that many or more except Evans, who has 9.

Can anyone find any others?

[Jay]

Evans hasn't got 9 promotions in the League though has he?

Has not jay

[ParisStag]

Evans hasn't got 9 promotions in the League though has he?

Football League or non-league doesn't come into it, but the club announced him as 'nine-time promotion winning Steve Evans'.

Looking at his record I can actually only see promotions at Stamford (x1), Boston (x2), Crawley (x2), Rotherham (x2). That makes 7 and puts him joint top most successful manager along with the 3 I named above. Where did the club get 9 from?

Of course league or non-league matters for a list of reasons I just cannot be bothered with right now - if you include non-league, I won 6 promotions whilst manager of Langold Juniors

Perhaps you could be the next 'cheap option' Rob

Stop being daft, you know what I mean. Winning promotions 1, 2 or 3 divisions bellow League 2 still counts, but your Sunday league obviously doesn't.

Question still stands, does anyone know what the mystery 2 promotions are?

[part time pete]

Been looking at this and I think I have found the eighth one ( or should I say first.)

When he was at Stamford, they won the united counties league twice. In the first year they weren't promoted but were in their second year they were promoted to the Southern League.

Not sure where the ninth one is.

[EdwinstoweStag]

He's certainly the fattest

[Bros]

Taking Paris' argument the United Counties Lg is probably tier 4 so count must as much as Sunday league. There are lies, damn lies and statistics

He probably counts the one where they weren't actually promoted as a promotion knowing Evans. I assume it was because their ground wasn't up to scratch?

Stamford
Question still stands, does anyone know what the mystery 2 promotions are?[/quote

Its a great question and im sure there will be stacks of explanations but these are my two

Stamford X2
Boston X2
Crawley X1
Rotherham X2 all generally accepted

Then while at Rotherham a writer Charles McGinnes did a profile about SE and in it transcribed the name of Boston for Burton and got him two extra promotions and it never got corrected.

OR
Another website Steve Evans Manager statistics shows SE getting 4 at Boston and two each at Crawley and Rotherham making 8 but makes no mention of the 1 at Stamford. So a interpretation of that could be 9 in total.

Either way statistics are lies more lies complete raspberry

[geoffhill]

Perhaps someone can ask Evans.From the horses mouth so to speak.

I think Steve Evans claims two promotions at Crawley. He left on 9th April 2012 when they were 4th in League 2 after 40 games but only two points off the automatic promotion places. Craig Brewster took over and secured automatic promotion with three wins, two draws and one defeat in the last six matches.

I can only find 8 promotions for Steve Evans.

Stamford x 2
United Counties League Winners 1996-1997 and 1997-1998

Boston United x 2
Southern League Champions 1999-2000 and Conference Champions 2001-2002

Crawley Town x 2
Conference Premier Champions 2010-2011 and League 2 3rd (Promoted) 2011-2012 (Left after 40 games with Crawley in 4th place in League 2)

Rotherham United x 2
League 2 Runners Up (Promoted) 2012-2013 and League 1 4th Play Off Winners (Promoted) 2013-2014

[Tippy Tappy Football]

If David Flitcroft leads the Stags to promotion then he will have achieved the same number of Football League promotions that Steve Evans has - TWO.

Note: I've taken the Crawley League 2 promotion away from him as he left after 40 games with Crawley in 4th place in League 2.

[STAGS FOR LIFE]

he is a total Pillock , he just chucked 1 away

He thinks he going to get them promoted

He as played the same old record there , saying if we in the play offs we win them

let him go along spreading his yarn

[Im not the real OND]

Are we counting the Boston promotion?!

6 promotions?? So when you weren't on the pitch wearing black you turned into another Evans!!

I also reffed Langold (occasionally), which might explain their rise from Div F to A I helped a few youth teams when my lads played and was always respectful to the referee, not once did I threaten to stick the flag up his a1rse!

Like the Crawley promotion mentioned by Darren, if we go up this season it will be Flitcroft, not Evans who gets the credit. So after all of this, the much vaunted Evans has two league promotions, in other words, only two more than Carlton.

Here is a very well researched article on Steve Evans by a Lincoln City fan.

Steve Evans always claimed he had 9 promotions at Mansfield Town but I could only find 8. The article confirms 8 promotions is correct although you could argue it was only 6 because Stamford were not promoted in 1995-1996 despite winning the league and he also left Crawley in 2011-2012 with 6 games to go when they were fourth. I was prepared to give him credit for 8 promotions but I know other Stags fans were not so generous

I still think the Stags would have been promoted from League 2 in 2017-2018 if he had stayed at Field Mill. We were on a great run at the time (W11 D5 L2).

I still think that had Evans thought we'd get premoted he'd not have jumped ship so dispicably

You referring to me Darren

We'd have made the play-offs in my opinion, his last game against Coventry showed him up as tactically inept, 1-0 up against ten men and drew - ultimately those needless dropped two points proved extremely costly. It also must be remembered that we had a very difficult run in.

One thing the stats don't show is how much of a massive a1rse the bloke is.
