I think you may be right about Evatt "losing" the Bolton supporters because he'd been there so long - I'd also say that expectations had become very high at that club because of the job Evatt had done there.

I wasn't that enthusiastic about Evatt when I first heard about him being a possibility, but I'm still thinking in Championship terms - Evatt wouldn't be a bad appointment for a League One club.
