He only just signed a new contract as well, not even seeing out the season. Really interesting to see what next for them!

[Rich Tea Wellin]

Blimey, it had all come full circle in ten years hasnt it?

Probably do well at Rotherham. But Stevenage bottled it this year

[FilipinO]

Yeah, he seems to do ok where ever he goes. I'm more interested in Stevenage, did he think they'd gone as far as they can and that the momentum will start to falter.

Alex Revell in charge for the time being.

[Proposition Joe]

Suspect he definitely saw them as having hit a ceiling. Expect them to fall away next year especially if they don't hold on to Reid.

Did we bottle it too? Or just fail to last the distance with limited resources?

[LittleMate]

A hard act to follow because of his management style and approach to games. Has a certain type of player that responds to him. They could struggle next season.

[Currywurst and Chips]

Not surprised given the incredible job he’s done at Stevenage

His record speaks for itself how he regularly gets success and promotions at a lot of the clubs he goes to

Someone I think Travis should take a look at when Wellens eventually leaves.

Agree. Is it a stretch to perhaps move RW “upstairs” now and see if we could get Evans?

Would be an ambitious move by the board but would almost certainly mean a promotion to the Championship within three seasons

[WhetstoneO]

I feel for the Rotherham fans, after watching essentially a league one team in the Championship and getting battered every week, now they have old Fat Boy's wonderful brand of 'football' to look forward to.

Think he realised the race was run at Stevenage, it's no surprise that their form fell right off after Christmas when they started playing teams for the second time and had been worked out, just like we did to them. One trick pony

Too late now he has gone to Rotherham. Also due to the dislike many Os fans have for him, I would guess Orient is about one of the last clubs he would want to manage !

As I said on another thread, I’d expect Evans to raid Stevenage to take their best players . I think he’ll have the budget to do it otherwise I doubt he would have gone back to there

Exactly . We matched their physicality with ours and that’s why I believe we won .

Exactly, I doubt there's many O's fans who would want the fat w*nker anywhere near our club.

Your point is accurate. They, like us, have limited resources and were probably over stretched, like us.

But they've been top 7 pretty much all season so the optics are more that they are bottlers. Whereas we were bottom half for about 2 months.

Looking forward to Richie running up the touchline, past Evans, holding up his trousers as Piggot scores a worldy to win us the playoffs.

This, especially if we remember - I think I'm correct - they were only in the EFL because Bury went bust and so Stevenage were not relegated to the NL when they finished bottom of L2 in season 19/20 or was it due to the one off Pandemic rules for ending that season? Some boarder will know the ins and outs by heart, I am sure.

IRotherham are obviously able to pay him a considerably higher salary which will have had more to do with it

Bottom half as early doors we got 0 points from our first 4 games because we didn't think we deserved to be at this level. Bottlers.

I for one wouldn't

Quite right, the insults he gets on here from some boarders is just way over the top and disrespectful. Just see Don k on this thread...

[OyinbO]

Was tempted to taunt Stevenage fans for their worshipped hero bolting on them as soon as a better offer came along, but thought better of it...

I think the number of promotions Evans has had at different clubs suggests he is more than a one trick pony, I don't like his style of football but he certainly gets results/promotions.

Think your a little off the mark there dogs, Wellens has a good few years of coaching in him and I don’t think he would like that at the moment. The question is,will RW stay? I wouldn’t be surprised if Rotherham had made an offer to Wellens?
