Re: Our best manager/managers
After almost 60 yrs as a supporter and of pain, mostly, it’s Ian Evatt for me - a unique achievement getting the club back in the league.
Re: Our best manager/managers
Ian Evatt for me - because he’s the only one I’ve known to truly believe that we could be a Football League side.
He turned a side that couldn’t put two passes together into the best footballing team I’ve seen. It helped that he landed John Rooney in the form of his career. 17 goals from midfield and countless assists. It was truly magical.
Don’t forget the status of some of the clubs we were competing against - Notts, Wrexham, Stockport, Chesterfield and he ripped up that small time Barrow tag on the way
His quote below: The season before we went up: he had a clear vision for the way the game should be played

"To achieve anything and to get to the Football League, we have to expect to win every game. I've got to get everyone believing that we can, and I will work hard to embed that mentality into the players, the town, the board and whoever else” Ian Evatt.
