Heard from a couple of my sources that Mick has agreed to stay for a futher 12 months, however this was before the weekends outburst, so I do not know if that has made a difference.
This was agreed in the last ten days, with multiple meetings between concerned parties. Mick has indicated to the players that this is the case. |  | | |  |

Textbook Definite Info. Mention of 'sources', unlikely 'info', hints of knowledge of workings at the top level of the club and a 'of course things may have changed' to provide a 'get out' when it turns out to be b0llocks.
All that's missing for a perfect score is mention of a family member being an insider and/or the club's postman. |  |

From Evans' point of view, it makes a lot of sense. Who else can he leave to get on with things not needing much supervision, not demanding lots of money, already a known quantity and unlikely to get Town relegated?
Perhaps he doesn't think season tickets will take that much of a hit (for that matter, I doubt they'd really drop below 10k)? Or he simply believes success is possible and the fans will then come back (as they did, to some extent, between 2013 and 2015). |  |

But that leads to the wider issue of WTF is Evans’ plan for the future. He surely cant enjoy spunking x millions a year to be midtable in division 2. |  |

It would fit with trying to sell the club though, steady presence to give any potential new owner a base to work from. |  |

A disenfranchised support base with dwindling attendances? I don't think any potential investor is bothered about who is currently in charge. As we have seen with multiple clubs over the years, a new owner normally means a new manager, so I can't see how Mick staying would be that advantageous for any new investor. |  |

Or he's paying that to be in the pot for the chance of promotion every season? Everybody starts level in August.
If he thinks it's possible to repeat 2015-15 - but successfully this time - then it may be worth the outlay. After all, it's largely chance factors (injuries) which have hamstrung this season. If everything goes right for a change, where might we finish?
On top of that, player sales have recently defrayed a chunk of that annual expense (Mings alone nearly covered a couple of seasons worth of outlay).
It all depends how much understanding Evans has of football in general in the Championship in particular. We simply don't know the answer to that. | |

It would be more than a huge mistake in my opinion. Really would be the final nail in the coffin. But I can genuinely see it happening. |  |

Hmmmmm! Not that surprising but it does suggest Mr Evans is probably going to flog the club OR, just let it drift down.
If this is true, it seems in his mind he has already accepted he can't afford a football club and has people working on how he can minimise his losses.
I would not understand any Owner, who had any ambition, sticking with the status quo | | | |

That’s true in the context of it being easier to sell a Championship club than a League 1 club, but Evans surely can’t be blind to the current broken relationship between manager and fans, as well as the general air of pessimism and frustration. It will of course be the great irony if the Evans era ends with a world leading ticket seller unable to fill even half his own stadium. | |

I was going to say the same, doing something which fairly obviously would reduce season ticket sales, attendances and probably also have an impact on sponsorship income is the last thing someone looking to sell a club would be doing. Not sure where the suggestion that ME is considering selling has come from.
And I very much doubt anything has been agreed re a new MM deal at this stage anyway.

Me neither, lots of conjecture, rather than reality.
But if that were the case, my point, and yours, still stands. [Post edited 19 Feb 2018 12:43]

I'd actually say the opposite re a sitting manager, that new owners often prefer to bring in their own man - Birmingham last season, for example - so an upcoming vacancy might be better for all concerned rather than a situation where an extant manager has to be paid off. | | | |

I think from the point of an investor, you've also got to include ME in that camp.
He invests a lot of money each year to keep the club stable. That isn't sustainable and it's been proven.
He and any other investor now know exactly what is required and that is ......many £'s to improve the playing squad.
Both MM and ME have done us proud. I do think MM should go if ME can find another manager who has better ideas......the problem is that they are very few and far between.
Cue an extension for MM and the call for a larger transfer and wage fund. |  |

Depends on the expected timescale for organising a deal. A one-season contract allows some selling/negotiating/repeated falling through time, without committing the new owner to anything long-term. Unless Evans can rely on getting everything sorted before June (3 to 4 months only), there's going to need to be some sort of manager in place. | |

Wouldn’t the point here though be that with no buyer imminent, Evans could see it as being better off sticking with the safe pair of hands rather than gambling on a change that could see us in danger of the drop? We wouldn’t be able to carry a vacancy through next season after all
Obviously this is all hypothetical, of course! [Post edited 19 Feb 2018 13:03]
