‘I will never cheer on a team managed by that vile entity’ – Plenty of Gillingham fans make their thoughts known after latest development

Gillingham chairman Paul Scally has revealed he intends to appoint Steve Evans as the club’s new manager, seemingly going against popular fan opinion.

Evans was sacked by Peterborough after less than a season in charge, following the same length of time as Mansfield manager. He’s also managed Leeds, Crawley, Rotherham and Boston United and is never far away from controversy.

The Gills sacked manager Steve Lovell after he kept them up last season, but progress had been steady prompting the dismissal. They’ve taken their time to appoint Evans, but he’s been a front-runner for the role ever since Lovell left.

The Gills fans haven’t reacted well on social media, Evans’s antics on the touchline have not endeared him to their supporters and they’ve let the chairman know that in no uncertain terms on Twitter.

Scally might think this is a good move for the club and something likely to bring success, but it will do little for the unity between the fans and the team as they approach the new season.
