I suppose you can consider Butcher to do better under DF but he’s still been a waste of time and maybe on his way out in Jan but that does go down to Evans.
A lot of you not like this but let’s remember who sanctioned all this - The Radfords, I mean no owners are perfect but they ain’t far off at least!!!!!

Depends what you take as a player being a hit.
Hit for me is a player performing well consistently.

I doubt that we made a healthy profit on Angol. I believe we paid a lot for the dual signing of Angol & White. (I think it was rumored to be £300k?).
I would still label Mirfin, Diamond, Anderson, Atkinson, & Butcher as flops. Admitedly the first two have been long term injured, but the others have failed to consistently make the first team. (And OSJ can't even make the bench ahead of youth players, and yet Evans tied him into a longer contract just before he left, without doing the same with CJ).
Matt Green was better than any striker Evans brought in. (Spencer was particularly poor).
Macca & Potter were OK - nothing special.
Hunt was just for back-up cover. Byrom was good in his first season, but then faded - and is not in the same class as Bishop. (who i believe Evans also tried to sign).
Logan, Olejnik & Mellis were good signings (although Evans never played the better keeper and he rarely played Mellis).
The bottom line is that overall Steve Evans' signings weren't good enough to get us promotion. Hopefully, DF's signings will prove otherwise.

Where’s this information from ? As far as I know it was all undisclosed.
