See ya Brendan. Hello Steve New Peterborough United manager Steve Evans says being Celtic boss would be the only job with more appeal for him.
Spoiler: click to toggle The 55-year-old Scot, who resigned from Mansfield Town earlier this week, has lived near Peterborough for many years. "It's probably the second club that's closest to my heart, the first being Glasgow Celtic," he said. "I've been in and around the city for the best part of 30 years - and probably for the best part of 20 years I've wanted to be the gaffer here." Evans has agreed an unspecified "long-term" contract with Posh, who are eighth in League One and just three points outside the play-off places. He told BBC Radio Cambridgeshire he had chances to manage the club before, when he was at Rotherham United and shortly after leaving Leeds United, and after speaking to chairman Darragh MacAnthony it felt "like a hand in a glove". Peterborough ended a run of seven games without a win by beating Walsall 2-1 on Tuesday and Evans believes building momentum can carry them to promotion. "I've only been in the play-offs once and I was successful at Wembley," he said. "That group at Rotherham were really special but when I look at the abilities in this squad, this is a level above. "At this moment in League One, there are only four teams who are consistently winning football matches, the rest win a game, lose a game, draw a game, lose a game, win a game. "In in those next 12 (games), we need another eight or nine wins. That's going to be really tough but that group's capable." Evans' wife and children were born in Peterborough, and other relatives are "huge" fans of the club as well. He added: "There's a real desire for me to do well. If it doesn't work out for me here it won't be a case of not shedding blood. "As much as I wanted to be a success at Mansfield, and at Leeds United, and Rotherham, this is Peterborough United, this is where I want to be more successful than anywhere else before. "I want to do well enough here that Dermot Desmond of Celtic picks up the telephone in two or three years and says Brendan Rodgers is off to somewhere in the Premier League, would you come and be our manager? "Peterborough United doing well in the Championship gives me a chance doesn't it?" http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/43248535 That rabid Hun and Peterborough "fan" Adrian Durham will be delighted hearing that...

Brian Clough said many years ago "Players lose you games, not tactics. There's so much crap talked about tactics by people who barely know how to win at dominoes” just back from the pub with my Dad where I was questioning Brendan's management ability and he was arguing the players commitment. He also beat me 4-1 at Doms.

Rodgers would do brilliantly at Arsenal, and we all know it. Hopefully they and their fans are too stupid/ignorant to realise it.

Either can lose you games.

Steve Evans with Alan Brazil as his assistant. Aye, but think of the fun. He'd make Lenny look like an angel. There would be a rammy at every game.

That rabid Hun and Peterborough "fan" Adrian Durham will be delighted hearing that... My first thought too. Don’t know much about Steve Evans, but anything that annoys that carrot Durham is good with me

I think you need to be more committed at the doms. Bet he didn't use his subs properly.

Achievements at Celtic just don't register down south.
NL,WGS & MON all had decent results in europe but mattered little to epl employers.
Won't be long till every club in epl has a foreign manager.
His job at Swansea was remarkable . A slip away from winning the English premier league with Liverpool . Then his achievements at Celtic, an undefeated treble , on for a 2nd treble . 2 champions league group stage qualifications. Europe after Christmas. His stock will be high. Naive to think otherwise No inside info but I wouldn't be surprised if, Brendan left either at the end of this season or the next.

Quoting limited to 3 levels deep
The wheels were in motion at Swansea before he took over. Martinez already had developed them into a possession based side. Brendan continued the development Scrape and you might find a smidgen more to discredit Rodgers achievements. I'm not discrediting nothing, but it would be unfair not to acknowledge the impact Martinez had before Brendan took over.
He inherited a side that already had a passing based philosophy.
Did he not?
