| Five Point Plan 08:55 - Apr 26 with 2063 views | pennblue |
I am sorry, but this is a load of old tosh.
It is clear that the vast majority of teams that get promoted from this league, have money invested into the playing squad. It's not rocket science, look at where Man City and Chelsea are these days.
So, if the 'target' is to get promoted, the five point plan, has very little chance of succeeding, and is therefore a very poor plan.
If ME is not going to invest more money into the club, over and above what he is currently doing, then he should either sell up, or seek other investors that can / are willing to put more money in. |  |

You missed the bit where he mentioned that there's been no interest by potential new owners? |  |

To reply (although I don't know why i'm wasting valuable typing time on you) a plan is something you put in place to achieve a set goal over a defined period of time.
You're right on Man City and Chelsea, but what is also not rocket science is that Evans isn't anywhere near as wealthy as those owners nor are there many people that rich (and who have an interest in football, let alone Ipswich Town) in the world.
The plan is perfectly respectable, it's not going to make us champions in a season, but if that's the plan, then stick to it and see what happens. |  | | |

Man City (established mid-table Prem before the money came) and Chelsea (winning cups and well up the Prem long before Abramovich arrived) are irrelevant.
If you look closer at the likes of Swansea and Bournemouth, they took a long run-up of gradual investment and building, which was eventually able to catapault them into the Prem.
Which is better, to spend £10m over three years building up a decent, cohesive squad, bringing in and developing our own and others' youth talent, developing momentum, or to gamble twice that on a single shot at promotion, with financial ruin the price of even narrow failure? |  |

You are not willing to invest massive amounts of money and there is no outside interest to invest.
What's your better plan than the current one?
Please note that while I don't think the five point plan is the best idea for getting out of this division, it's hard to come up with anything better under the circumstances. |  |

Not sure about Bournemouth in that example:

They did through money at it.

Perhaps that wasn't such a good example, altho the big money was chucked in at the last stage, to get them over the line. We're not yet in that position. | |

Sheff Weds are an interesting point here - they've gone for it and may find a very interesting summer instore. See what happens with them.
Unfortunately, far too many clubs have risen / with some massive ones also stuck.
See Forest/ Leeds/ Wendy/ Norwich etc etc Villa what a ridiculous league.
Least we haven't gone the way of Bury/Port Vale/Crewe/Tranmere/Swindon - all established division 1 clubs in the mid to late 90s. |  | | |

My plan would include seeking new investment, either looking for a new owner entirely, or look to build a consortium, where Evans continues to put money in, but he shares the burden with others, so as a collective, they have less risk, and a greater chance of success. | |

Derby, Leeds, Sheff Wds, to name just three who have spent very big over the last few seasons....where are they? I agree with what he said in that next season we have quality to come into the squad FIT and like new recruits in Huws, Dozzell, Adeyemi, Bishop, Downes...well, there's £20m plus arguably right there in today's crazy market...
Get a decent coach in, who know's....injuries are always key, we keep these guys fit we could do alright.. |  | | |

less risk, less reward, so less motive for evans and no backers so far as we know... doesnt work. |  |

If there was an obvious, simple, easy plan that works, all the clubs would be doing it and it would only work for 3 of them (and 3 of them would still be relegated). |  |
