Evans expects top six budget - press conference stories

[Chadman]

Evans said today he believes John Radford won't let him down in his pledge to give him one of the top six budgets in the division next season.

Evans also said to not win at Crawley and see the other results go Mansfield's way would be unthinkable and unbearable while Rhys Bennett pledged the players would go '1,00mph' to make sure they got the result

I hope they go a bit faster than 1.00mph.

100mph maybe

A 'top six budget' shouldn't be that difficult next season. Look at the club's; who out of that division would anyone expect to blow a few bob? Luton, if they stay down? Lincoln, with their cup run cash? I'm struggling with anyone else and would imagine that this season has seen the four biggest spenders finish in the top four places - which is handy.

Agree if ever Radford was going to "have a go" and spend some cash with the league next year and SE on board hopefully next season has to be as good a time as ever

Thing is, its no good saying that the chairman will give him a lot of money to spend, thats because clubs will inflate their players value.
Best is try and keep a low profile.

[Dogface]

Why would Evans continue to make this a public issue? I would've thought it would've already been agreed or otherwise with Radford. Seems a little odd to me

That's a valid point. Also agents of out of contract players will demand high wages for their clients.

[SINA STAG]

Buying players with a top 6 budget hopefully giving them contracts that will give a return on JR money if we promoted or buy players that will be able to give the Stags back to back promotions. Spend well this summer profit hopefully for the next two.

"We need a top six budget or in reality there's no point in me staying" - Steve Evans.

It's obviously, put public emphasis on JR week. A poor tone for me. This should all be done behind closed doors, as it only invites speculation.

Apparently Evans wants to sign White but JR will not stump up cash.

Also another League Two team after Shaq.

I thought we had a deal for both players lined up, so a fee was agreed with peterborough already and it was our choice at the end of the season if we wanted him

[Dogface]

Something doesn't feel right for me between Evans expectations and the chairman. The tone indicates there is a problem somewhere.

[bobbystagsfan]

How much do we think Evans will be working with this summer?

[Spiritater]

Undisclosed fee

The more raspberry like this that Evans comes out with the more I dislike the bloke.

Not much of a story. That just reads to me like Fry is trying to generate more interest in the players they want to sell, to hopefully inflate their value. JR is possibly playing hardball, I'd rather that than he just chucks cash around and gets the club into a mess.

[Captain Cunno]

So JR states he wants to be in the championship, Evans reminds him he needs a decent budget .
Nothing to see here.

[Amber Andy]

More importantly how much do we think Evans will be working FOR us this summer ? For me it's gone from 90% to 50%.

[Dogface]

I have a suspicion he is not staying around.

[bobbystagsfan]

I would be absolutely gutted if he left after half a season, but i dont think he'll be off

[Dogface]

I agree. Tone suggests all is not well. We shall see next week

I'm sure that's right.

Troll alert! Go back to your own misery, Spireite loser

[Dogface]

You couldn't be further from the truth waggy. Was that meant to be an intellectual response.? Not very bright
