Jonny Evans has backed the Northern Ireland Football Association to get it right in the hunt for Michael O’Neill’s replacement. Motherwell boss Stephen Robinson is favourite for the job and Evans expects the next appointment to be correct. “It allows the IFA to take their time now, I’m sure they’ll pick the right man for the job,” he said. It lifted Stoke off the bottom of the Sky Bet Championship and Evans revealed his respect for his international boss. “We owe him a lot and I’m sure everyone sent him a congratulations text and it’s even better to have him with us through the rest of the campaign.”
