Steve Evans sacked at Gillingham - not before time either!
Should have took the Stevenage job when he was offered it
Actually more the fool is Gills owner Paul Scally for rejecting the Stevenage approach. They could have got some much needed compo for Evans rather than having to pay him off now..
Mike Flynn or Neil Smith look favourites for the vacant post at the Gills.
Occasionally very successful people make such mind-boggling decisions that you wonder how they ever became successful and this was one of those for me right from the very start. Their owner is a self made billionaire I believe so clearly must have a degree of intelligence yet how on earth he felt this appointment would work is beyond me. Bill Kenwright is still heavily involved in the running of the club by all accounts so surely he must have told the owner very strongly how his appointment would go down with fans and yet he still pressed ahead. Perhaps when you become very successful a degree of arrogance takes over as the appointment was very clearly driven by the owner personally.
Ironically many people said Rafa's appointment might tarnish his reputation with Liverpool fans, if anything he has actually enhanced it!
The crazy world football is though it wouldn't shock me at all if he was back in charge at Newcastle before the end of the season. If Howe doesn't start picking up results quick I could see their owners getting trigger happy.
Surprised Dyche is not on that list. Cannot imagine he is wanting to go back to the championship. Probably don’t want to pay a transfer fee for a manager.
If I was Martinez, why would I leave the Belgium job in a World Cup year?
The suggestion is that he would be an interim Manager at Everton AND still manage Belgium as they don't have many fixtures coming up in the next few months. If it works out in that six months then one would assume that he will become permanent at Everton and vacate the national job. The Belgium FA aren't totally comfortable with this though.

Especially as the World Cup is next November. How can Martinez and Henry concentrate on the National side, checking players and opposition etc when managing a PL club for 10 months?

Their squad is weak, any manager would struggle there

Steve Lovell is back at Gillingham in temporary charge

Take the Everton job for more money, get sacked and paid off and still go to the world cup
