Do you know if he has or hasn't?
He’s been to Dubai for a week spent a few days in Boston with Travis and board (or at least most of them) and I think he’s now on his family holidat.
But still no confirmation if he has or hasn't spoken to anyone. 👍
You are not likely to get any confirmation either the club don’t advertise who they talk to, but because Wellens is away it won’t stop us talking to agents and players.

I wasn't asking for any confirmation
I was asking Reddwarf to confirm whether he had
or hadn't.

Going by Richie’s last interview he was scheduled to have been speaking with potential new signings by now.

You forgot to mention the trip to Turkey.

I don't dispute that Steve Evans is a great manager, but contrary to what some believe, Stevenage had an above mid table budget last year and didn't make the play offs. There is no doubt that if Rotherham do well this year, it will be down to financial backing as much as Steve Evans.

How is Evans signing them then? Are the likes of Kelly released from their contracts a month early?

I called him to ask but he said he was busy tucking into a large Double quarter pounder meal so asked me to call back at Midday before he starts lunch

Will let you know what he says when I hear

Players will be under contract and paid by their previous club until June 30th. If they sign earlier than that it’s only a pre contract agreement.

He is in talks with Leon Kelly released by Coventry and also has played for Orient. This would be his 7 th signing.

He believes (as I do ) in getting your signings in quickly.

Ling however believes in waiting late, which frustrates the you know what's out of me

And to those r boarders who say Evans rushes it, and we get better by waiting, I disagree.
Stevenage finished above us last season, so his signings didn't do so bad
Rotherham fans slating Evans and not happy with their Summer signings. Not saying ours were great, but its about signing the right players, not signing them early. Nevertheless I'm sure we will get the same guff again next May.

Interesting comment that RW went for Powell in the summer.
