In high pressure situations, it’s vital to keep a cool head and a dry pants.
Rotherham United avoided relegation from the Championship last night, beating Reading 2-1 to inflict League 1 football on both Wigan an Milwall, and he was feeling pretty damn pleased with himself.
It had been a highly stressful few weeks for the Millers, who looked safe before they had three points deducted for fielding an ineligible player.
And not known for being particularly humble in victory, Rotherham manager Steve Evans’ post match interview rivaled Fr Ted’s Golden Cleric winning speech, using it to land a few cheap shots on rivals and the league’s powers that be.
Steve Evans: 'a Milwall player questioned our bottle. Well I've got 12 bottles of pink champagne. Enjoy League1. Keep your trap shut.'

Speaking on BBC Sheffield, Evans continued, taking swipes at everyone he could think of, even if he didn’t actually know who he was taking swipes at: “We’re in the Championship for now. They won’t like it, whoever they are. They won’t like it, but we’ll just keep going.”
It was an incredible achievement to keep the small Yorkshire club up in the Championship, but unfortunately it kind of gets lost in the manager mocking other players who got relegated
