Evans must be laughing his socks off 19:56 - Feb 19 with 5919 viewsCheltenham_Blue

Our obsession with Mick means we are letting Evans off the hook again, we turned our attention to Evans at the end of last season, but now we are back on Mick.

Yes, Mick's relationship with the fans is a problem, but Evans is causing a bigger problem.

Fans are fickle, if Evans really wants the relationship with the fans to improve he'll give Mick the budget to really have a go at promotion, but we know he won't and theres nothing at all to suggest he would give a new man that kind of budget either.

And before anyone says, "He puts in £6m a year", yes he does, but we all know thats never going to be enough. to get us out of this stagnation.

The real problem with ITFC is there is no one to blame - we are just what we are.

Evans - puts in £6m a year to keep us relatively competitive, that's not enough bar a freak season but without it we'd be screwed, academy shut down etc. and I can't imagine there are a Q of potential suitors

McCarthy - Achieving more than he should given the resources, recruiting well and adding value to play offs - unlucky with injuries and style of football not the best

Fans - Been pretty patient through 16 years on 2nd tier football, numbers have held up ok and generally back the team

Players - A good bunch of lads, lack a bit of quality but they work their nuts off and play for the shirt with pride

No area is doing a bad job, but ultimately it's not enough and the easiest of the 4 to change is the manager - doesn't mean that's the right thing to do but will happen


Evans - offsets what he puts in with player sales, it's not been £6m a year. Yes he still puts a fair chunk of money in but that's the remit if you own a football club. He's putting in the bare bones to keep us where we are.

McCarthy - not unlucky with injuries, in the main has only been able to afford talented players (whether loan or permanent) if they have been cut price due to question marks over fitness. Plays utterly dull safety first football as a result.

Solution - either increase the budget, or bring in a manager who is more inclined to take a risk with the style of football. Or even better, both.

Thanks for your insightful debating


I genuinely thought you were having a laugh. I’m sure many would like to see the back off Evans. ITFC will still be here after Mick and Evans it’s just like being tortured at the moment being a Town fan.
