As Alex Revell becomes the 18th man to be appointed Boro' manager by Phil Wallace, we look back at those who went before him

Boro’ Manager Appointments: The Phil Wallace Years

So, the dust can now settle and we can look ahead to the 2024-5 season with more certainty; Alex Revell is (back) in charge and becomes Phil Wallace’s 18th Boro’ manager appointment. Of course, that depends if you want to count the man as one ‘appointment’ – no matter how …

The Main Stand at the Lamex Stadium

Charming! Evans boasts World Cup-winning appeal

Steve Evans is, by his own admission, not to everybody’s taste. A larger-than-life presence at any football club, the enigmatic and vastly-experienced coach is very much a take it or leave it kind of character. He makes no apologies for that. Loud, brash and in your face, Evans’ antics in …

If our club doesn't yet have a Latin motto, maybe it should be 'Dubitantem da Westleia clamore' – when in doubt, give (Graham) Westley a shout?

G-Wezz Who’s Back, Back Again…

If we don’t yet have a Latin motto, maybe it should be ‘Dubitantem da Westleia clamore’ – when in doubt, give (Graham) Westley a shout? Or, perhaps it ought to be ‘Fatum semper accipere’ instead. That’d look pretty sweet written across a big ol’amber and black banner, don’t you think? …

We've seen an upturn in form since the arrival of Mark Sampson, picking up 10 points in our last 10 – could he prove to be the perfect gamble?

Has Mark Sampson Proved The Perfect Gamble?

Stevenage have enjoyed an upturn in form since the arrival of Mark Sampson, picking up 10 points in our last 10; the side continuing to show signs of improvement. It was a big call to bring Sampson in following the sacking of Dino Maamria in September. Now there’s now talk …

Maamria: There He Goes Again…

So, for the third time in his career, it’s time for Dino Maamria to move on from the Lamex Stadium and find something new to do with his time. It’s been a pants start to the 2019-20 League Two campaign and we’re feeling the strain of pretty much the whole …

Dino Maamria: Our first non-English manager and the first African to take charge of an English professional side

Dino Maamria

It would be fairly to safe say that Noureddine ‘Dino’ Maamria is unique to English football. The Tunisian is the first non-English manager that Stevenage has had; he’s also only African manager in English professional football. Although he is a few leagues off the Premier League, the Tunisian has experienced …

After a somewhat sketchy run of results for Stevenage of late, it’s fair to say that Dino Maamria faces his biggest challenge as Boro' boss?

Confidence In Maamria To Turn Results Back Around

After a somewhat sketchy run of results for Stevenage of late, it’s fair to say that Dino Maamria faces his biggest challenge since being appointed as manager at Broadhall Way; the team seeking to keep ambitions of a promotion push alive in League Two. Stevenage haven’t graced the third tier …

The king is dead. Long live the king! But who is going to be the next Stevenage manager...?

The King Is Dead. Long Live The King…

Now, a bit of time to let the dust to settle. A Monday inquest; not just into our failure to hold a two-goal lead for the second time in as many outings, but now also into what has – ultimately – cost a man his job. The chair in which …

Stevenage v Crawley Town: Sarllito's Way?

Sarllito’s Way

“The dream don’t come no closer by itself. We gotta run after it now” – for now, that ‘dream’ is nothing more than staying in this division. Don’t let that put you off though. After a string of rubbish results and a change in management, we certainly got to run after it now. …

Bad News Bears.... Sheringham Leaves Stevenage

Dry January Is Over…

… here’s Punchdrunk February. We were happy enough, bimbling along on Transfer Deadline Day with just a handful of deals to keep us occupied as Aaron O’Connor made his stay permanent and Pat Hoban came in from Oxford. And then “KABLAMMO!” – the nuclear option is chosen and Boro’ are searching for a new gaffer …
