Time for Evans to finally show some backbone as an owner? 08:06 - Mar 14 with 2799 views | Reuser_is_God | If he had anything about him he’d ring MM this morning & offer him the chance to hand in his resignation & if he doesn’t then sack him? It’s only going to get worse between now & May, possibly beyond that depending on what happens. Evans really needs to do something. [Post edited 14 Mar 2018 8:07]

Getting to the point you're ironically cheering passes is just sad. Other times just silence. MM needs to go, although I have no idea who we would replace him with at this point that would actually end successfully without large changes in the club structure. | |

I can’t comment on last nights atmosphere, although most who were at the game have said it was largely supportive of the players, but on Saturday there was be negativity at all. I’ve no clue what we’d do in the interim if we weee to get rid of MM this week, maybe Nash until end of season? [Post edited 14 Mar 2018 8:11]

It’s very much an Arsenal situation we find ourselves in in that regard. I’ve never known an ITFC manager who has had himself as much as Mick has. | |

I'd have thought they'd have just stuck with TC for the time being, not that it'd be any different but at least some fans might breathe a sigh of relief I guess. I wasn't there but on the radio you could hear the crowd, it wasn't that supportive, especially once the goals started flowing. I don't blame them either, 3 conceded at home and not seen a goal in 5 games? Yeah, I'd be pretty f*cked off with it all as well. I'm still on the director of football bandwagon, probably not going to happen. | |

I’ve just watched the goals - no wondered there was mass booing after that second goal, feck me. I’m very much in David of that route aswell but like you I just do t see it happening. | |

It was quite negative at times in the first half and despite claims to the contrary Nydam definitely copped some of it. More apathetic in the second. What we'll get is another half-arsed statement from Milne that just pisses everyone off even more. | |

Surprised by that, thought Nydam was well liked. I thought putting Morris on in that environment was out of order, similar to when Jim bought Wickham in similar circumstances against Doncaster. I don’t think there will be anything, just a frosty press conference from Mick tomorrow. | |

TC has been Mick's #2 for years & while he did agree to become caretaker at Wolves (with disastrous results), I'm not sure he'd do it again. I guess Evans is somewhat dispassionate about Town so therefore he doesn't see a desperate need to do anything. It's not as if relegation is at all possible this season. What would be his benefit from firing Mick & putting a caretaker in charge? I doubt that would do anything to motivate the players in what will be a pretty turgid last 9 games of the season. | |

The benefit I can see about sacking him now, even when sticking some caretaker in charge from the club, is that it gets the fans back on side a bit. Even if just a little. The longer that goes on like last night, the more long term fans will just get out of the routine, and we really can't afford to lose loads of fans. [Post edited 14 Mar 2018 8:27]

Agree with your first part. I presume if we was looking 'in house' for a caretaker, it would be Nash, Lee or Klug? | |

I don't think it is actually a big problem, although if Mick is still in charge next season it will be. With season ticket renewals going out, there will need to be some clarity as to this & even Evans will see this. | |

Yeah, if he's not going now, they should say they aren't renewing his contract. Basically anything at this point, some clue as to where the hell we are going. I understand Evans concerns for privacy, but he can't just hide from fans. He shouldn't have bought a football club if he was that worried about it all. | |

He gave the ball away and they nearly scored so it was more frustration but you know what it's like when our crowd are angsty: there's no game awareness. For example Jonas cleared the ball under pressure and people moan at him for hoofing then someone takes an extra touch in a bad area and they moan for that. Disagree on Morris, by that point in the game the crowd weren't really negative and he was well supported. I think he'll have just enjoyed playing. | |

You make the assumption Evans cares about the fans. I’ve not seen much evidence to back up that assumption. He did some decent PR last summer to repair a small amount of the harm he’d caused but since about November it’s gone backwards and drifted. | |

That’s fair re Morris. | |
