The thing that worried me most about Lamberts comments.. 11:25 - Aug 2 with 2903 views | ActionMan | is that when he was asked if we had enough to go up, he said no. That's not only a morale killer for the supporters but the players also surely? It's certainly different to hear a manager criticize Evans this much, but not much different from what Keane said about Evans and his staff in his book when it came to the mess around transfers and that was what, 10 years ago now.

The thing that worried me most about Lamberts comments.. on 12:08 - Aug 2 by SamWhiteUK | Don't think it's a problem. He's told the players, we're out to get promoted. He'll be thinking we can get promotion. I think he's just trying to light a fire under Evans' backside, and make him realise that he's got to play his part as well. I don't think Lambert is actually thinking we're definitely not going to get promoted |
Quite obviously, this. | |

The thing that worried me most about Lamberts comments.. on 11:36 - Aug 2 by Herbivore | Turmoil? Give over. Bury are in turmoil. Bolton are in turmoil. We're starting the season as one of the strongest sides in the division, the manager and fans would just be happier if we had a couple more faces through the door. |
Turmoil may have been a bit too strong a word but the point i was trying to make is that it is not good on the eve of the new season for the manager to be slating the Chairman's ability to run the football club and his lack of investment (however true we know that to be) and stating that without the signings there is no chance of promotion. Lets hope the players take no notice and do the business on the pitch or the word turmoil may not have been too far off the mark. | |

The thing that worried me most about Lamberts comments.. on 11:43 - Aug 2 by Herbivore | When he took over we had no money to buy players either, and nobody to cover our losses either. |
That’s true, but I’m not talking about the money. I’m talking about the soul of the club, and why people support Ipswich Town! There was a respect, an expectation and a way the club would be run that would give supporters hope whether times were good and bad. That has been systematically destroyed! What is left is now only Ipswich Town in name, nothing more. | | | |

There wasn't much respect and soul when we stiffed a load of local businesses out of the money we owed them. Lets not pretend we were something special back then either. This is a downward trend we have been on for a long time now. It pre-dates Evans. | |

Here's a start (not sure why you ignored this earlier...) There wasn't much respect and soul when we stiffed a load of local businesses out of the money we owed them. Lets not pretend we were something special back then either. This is a downward trend we have been on for a long time now. It pre-dates Evans. | |

We were certainly something special to our supporters before, but not anymore. There was a decline after relegation from the top division, but this has been quickly accelerated to achieve depths not plunged for 50 years. After all this time, he still has a manager who has to embarrassingly state in public what an utter shambles it is!! There is simply nothing left to revive. It’s gone. What’s tragic is that supporters are still taken in by this, and continue to give away money to the ME cause when there is zero hope under his destructive regime. | | | |

That's a rant and hasn't addressed anything in my post though. Our reputation was in the toilet when we cost local people and local firms their jobs and businesses. The fact that Evans hasn't cleaned the roof of a stand fades into insignificance compared to that. | |

Well for one thing, Sheepshanks wasn't too popular after taking the club into administration. It wasn't some great love in. For another thing, hope was in pretty short supply in the couple of years prior to ME buying the club. We lost Bent, Kuqi and Miller for not very much and replaced them with Sam Parkin. Just because things aren't great now it doesn't mean they were much better before ME came in. | |

Indeed. There's a reason some fans were so cringingly boastful about how all of a sudden we were rich when Evans came in, because things had been so crap prior to that. Maybe younger fans don't remember, but they should listen to those who do. | |

The thing that worried me most about Lamberts comments.. on 16:47 - Aug 2 with 248 views | braveblue | There is no doubt that PL has almost had enough of Evans mis-management. Exactly the shambles that Keane described in his book. With more money likely to come in this week Evans will need to release some of it or I think Lambert will walk if results are poor. The central defence situation for the opening match is a complete joke. I am fully behind Lambert and hope he gets a lot of support. As for Evans. I cannot wait to see him leave. | | | |

Businesses going bust, people losing their jobs, the club almost ceasing to exist. That's a real 'worst situation' not Evans being tight with transfer money. | |

It was a bad situation, but since rectified. There is no fix for the current situation which is far worse. It’s over, you just can’t see it. | | | |
