Has there been any serious attempt to build support for trying to get our owner out?
I am sorry, but I just don't see we have a strategy for League One that is going to result in anything other than a continual decline. Unless I am missing something?

How can you see something that hasn't happened yet?
There is no way we can get him out without money. No one wants to buy us, no one has the money lying around Evans would take to get shot of us.
As much as he's lead us here, some attempt to force him out only propels us towards a Charlton/Bolton/Blackpool type scenario. We really need Evans to cut his losses and accept whatever is offered, but why would or should he? |  |

I think we could make some noise and question his way of doing things, I am sure he must sit there and think 'well, the fans must like what I am doing, the atmosphere is fantastic and lots of new season tickets being sold even though we are relagated' - i like the idea of a huge banner hung from the top tier of the norths stand.... "Your Fault Evans" |  |

We don't actually know what the strategy for L1 is yet, given there will be significant personnel changes and a pre-season to work on it. Also, it is a lower standard than the Championship, so our team's quality will be comparitively better.
Campaigns to get owners out are rarely successful. Even the Oystons were only eventually brought low by their dealings with Belokon. Plus, to avoid receivership, a buyer is needed. Oft said, but an unavoidable fact. |  |

You think he has no concept of of money that he has put in and the current value of the club? You think he judges it all by the singing instead? Really? Or are you just being very silly?
Just focus on demanding the cheapest tickets and the highest transfer budgets and then blaming Evans still. |  |

Not as far as I’m aware. Never mind ‘encouraging’ him to think about moving on, we don’t even voice our concerns. We’ve always been a reticent bunch.
I don’t see him having a particularly inspiring strategy either, based on his time so far. I’m just hanging on to the hope that the drop in standard will be enough to make us competitive again. |  |

I am being very silly, I am very sorry. Although I don't understand your last sentence but then I am slightly retarded.
I'll go and close the door on my way out. | |

Well he won't take a knock down price and sell the club if no-one is making a noise about. If he can keep the club and run it on a shoe string, it really is not an issue for him is it?
If however, there are protests, then it starts to look bad for the rest of his businesses, and therefore there is more incentive to sell at a lower price (preferably write off the majority of the debt). | |

That is exactly what seems to be happening, everyone is just waiting to see what happens. But we see nothing on the pitch to make us think anything will change, and the off the pitch noice is all about cost cutting, and trimming our cloth.
It is quite bizarre. | |

Have you not been reading the rules? No criticism of Evans unless you either buy the club yourself or can provide comprehensive details and a full business plan for a successor.
And if you can’t, then don’t even think about falling back on the basics like chants/banners. Instead, sit down, shut up, eat your gruel and stop making a scene. He does an interview once a year, you know. |  | | |

I'm sure he's really happy sitting on an asset that loses him £6m plus every year. |  |

Given he caved on renewing Mick's contract and we ended up with this weird scenario, I don't think that's true at all. He panicked over ST sales and waited until the last minute to get shot of Mick, to get his replacement in and still couldn't make the fans happy.
Everything he does, smacks of listening albeit too late. See that bizarre video and his last utterances apologising for the unmitigated disaster the season became.
There's no way he isn't swayed by the perceived majority view whether that comes from the EADT filter, here or in the ground. | |

I really don't think he wants to lose millions per year over selling up or success.
Likewise the Brazilian authorities chasing his employees across borders, "hosting dinners fro gunrunners" as our Budgie friends put it and the stuff his other businesses actually do, hardly means that a few banners and the like here would alter much either.
Nothing will alter the resolve of a bloke like Evans other than accounts. | |

I've got nothing against the bloke, I think everyone can see he has tried his best. The trouble is now, is he seems to have shut up shop and closed the cheque book. For me, football is all about money, and if you are not prepared to invest, then it's time to get out and let someone else do it. | |

"For me football is all about money" - what a thoroughly depressing statement from a football fan. | |

Please stop this rubbish.
You can't sell something for which there is little demand.
Sheff Utd just got promoted using the Evans business model.
Let's just get behind the team.
If someone turns up to buy the club who is prepared to splash the cash then great. ...but a banner ain't gonna make that happen. |  |

How can anyone say we don't have a strategy for League One when we've still got a Championship fixture to play, have no idea what the squad will look like come the end of the summer and there is over three months until our first League One fixture?
We don't know yet. Are we no longer capable of waiting as a fan base? Impatience this time 12 months ago has cost us dear this season but it seems like lots of people haven't learned. |  |

EXACTLY. The small bits of a League One strategy that we HAVE seen (buying Alan Judge and creating a very innovative season ticket offer) have actually been quite good. The people who demand £10 tickets every game and a squad capable of promotion baffle me.
But yeah, we - minus all our strikers - lost yesterday to a team who are much, much better than us and knew a win would get them promoted to the Premier League. There's no strategy, we're doomed, League Two awaits.
Give me a break | |

Why do you think it is losing him 6 million a year?
What's he not done that most owners do to a lesser or bigger degree? |  |

You really think it doesn't matter to him.
Loss of money and reputation would hit him harder than fans getting their knickers in a twist.
Being divided has got us where we are.
Let's get behind the team. | |

"You can't sell something for which there is little demand" - you've been looking at my E-Bay account!
Alas, it's true re Town - although because these things are never a matter of invited public scrutiny till any deal is well advanced, we only get to hear about the rumours about rumours and from Fergal.
A viable possible Ipswich Premier presence is not something any new person/group will immediately consider, let alone visualise, when it's been like this for so long.
Perhaps the "demand" might eventually evolve as and when all other possibilities have been sold? | |

Pretty much any championship club (and lower) can be bought.
We would be a long way down the list, and considered by second rate owners like Bassini. | |

It is bizarre, I agree. At most other clubs the fans would be pissed off at being comfortably relegated and letting the owner know how they felt. Not that it does any good, but then neither does paying homage to Lambert and the failed team AFTER each game either (during may actually make a small difference). We're in the strangest of places right now. | |

If you listen to the EADT podcasts you would know we have had several offers for the club, they seem to think that ME would take a loss if someone can be found who can give a secure financial plan for the club over several years. | | | |
