Marcus Evans has been proven to be an abject failure over far too long a period of ownership of the club, with the perilous state of it ever more obvious as each painful match goes by. His only masterstroke was to employ Mick McCarthy, who managed to save Evans’ skin after the employment of two previous hopeless managers, with an eye-watering amount of money wasted on players who neither worked as a team or were willing to put in any decent effort to mount a serious challenge in the division. McCarthy then proceeded to play a safe style of football which ensured that the club could survive in the Championship without having to spend the sort of money which any team with ambition would have to spend to mount a half decent promotion challenge. Things never got bad enough for the fans to really complain and in the end McCarthy gave up as he realised what a pointless situation he was in.
Now with Hurst, who is still finding his feet at this level with a terrible start, Evans’ ambition is truly exposed as Hurst is unable to work any instant magic and the slow destruction of the club continues. There is no way of assessing the slow, torturous decade of ownership without noticing how year by year, slowly but surely the life is being sucked out of the club. And every time you buy a ticket, shirt or other trash on sale at the club shop (which gets more worthless and pointless with every passing week) you are prolonging the agony. You’re just keeping the life support on a bit longer while the club dies in front of your eyes.
There’s no need for pointless demonstrations. Just stop giving this shyster your hard earned money to assist in the demolition of a once proud and sometimes great club. There now can surely be no excuse. [Post edited 2 Oct 2018 22:35]

You're assuming that leads to another person buying the club. Even though he has said if the right offer came in he would look at selling the club, but there isn't even a queue of one person trying to buy it from what I can see |  | | |

I’m not assuming that at all. I’m saying that anything is better than the cruel life support we have at the moment | |

You are saying switching off the life support is better? You do understand the life support is the thing keeping it alive? |  |

The alternative is no club?
There is absolutley nothing we can do about Evans unless one of us finds a few £100M down the back of the sofa. |  |

So are you going to put £6million into the club each year instead?
Or are you happy for the club to fold completely?
Nobody likes what is happening at the moment. People cried out for a young manager, League 1 players etc. Now it's not working everyone is blaming ME.
Yes, he has a lot to answer for but we can't just get rid of him.  |  | | |

Switching off life support is never an easy option. But at least in football you know that there can be an afterlife... | |

It’s the only solution. Unless you prefer to see the club slowly get sucked into oblivion | |

The afterlife is coming back through the non league pyramid with a reformed club. If you want then then you are are an extra special moron. Just grow a pair ffs | |

Surely it’s only an option if there is someone else who will bankroll the club and take on all the debt? I think ME would probably jump at the chance if he got an offer, but such offers don’t appear to be flooding in (and why would they?). |  |

Few 100m for us. You are joking right. Few 100 quid maybe at this rate. This club should be valued between 20-30 million. |  |

Evans will soon be taking us below AFC Wimbledon, if that helps you work it out... | |

Oh do fook off you are clearly a sister botherer and a tw*t one at that, the decent ones would want us to suffer but not go out of business | |

You are quite clearly an apologist for mediocrity and desire the slow, life-sapping painful destruction of the club. I have no desire for the club to go out of business | |

I bet you get really happy when a player makes a run off the ball though don't you,
he's no where near the ball, but he's running off it. Makes a world of difference you know |  |

He doesn't put £6 million in each year. He sort of underwrites that loss if it occurs. It doesn't/hasn't occurred in some past years where we have seen the accounts.
It is time for Evans to go. We'd be happier in League Two playing inside our budget. |  |

It's about to become more affordable I would suspect! |  |

Yep you're right, but say you paid £20M for the Club, to actually get the sale sanctioned you would need to show you could actually sustain it for a while, so probably another £15M or so needed there.
After that, unless we are just going to continue to tread water you actually have to up the investment.
I would think you'd have to have a minimum of £50M you'd be willing to commit over a decade, and that's assuming you don't want to be particularly ambitious. | |
