Sorry but nothing will change until he’s gone.
His appointments have failed miserably from the moment he sacked Magilton we have been F###ed |  |

Haha. It’s a Saturday night buh. Let’s not do this.
I’m far more wiser than I used to be to know where this and the other thread would go so let’s just not do it.
Have a good night :) |
Well I was just off back to my lovely Greek wine so fair enough.
In the end though, there has to be an alternative endgame if you offer a view :).
Enjoy your evening!

That and the fact that you obviously can't because it is a pathetic comment that you repeat on a loop. Have a lovely evening |  |

What’s the other consistent in our massive decline?
We need an Ipswich man not a business man, and before anyone asks No I don’t know who it should be |
It was an Ipswich man who got us into the mess that led to Evans taking over. | | | |

Put your hand in your pocket then and buy the club or go and find someone who is stupid enough to buy it. |
I read this standard response to any wish for Evans to get out and can only reflect that we’re lucky that Evans’s big failing is incompetence, because if he was an asset stripper or out and out crook, then we would be fckkked given how supine our fanbase is over the decline we have suffered under him.
Evans owns the club but it belongs to us - the fans. Whether they go every week or very occasionally. Whether they are Ipswich till they die or super impatient. Local or international. It is our club. And if the custodian is running it into the ground then we should be able to call him out on it. What is wrong with wanting better for our club or better from those who control it? |  | | |

All this talk is all well and good but the trouble is, who else is out there prepared to take over a business losing approx 5-7 mill every year? Without his money (though it's not always been spent well) we would have had to sell many more players than we have already done just to balance the books and keep afloat. I dont think the majority on here have a clue about the level of investment required just to keep the club ticking over on a daily basis. Before he took over we were very close to going back into administration and there was genuine concern over bulls being paid, that isn't the case now. | | | |

Charlton have been sold this week and given the wealth of the owners (they were after Newcastle but the owner got greedy) may well be in the Premier League in a couple of seasons. Where will we be?
Ok you may think Charlton is a much bigger club with more potential, but I’m not convinced on that score. On that basis there are clearly people out there. The stumbling block I suspect is an owner that would want all of his money back including the discounted debt paid at full rate, plus a bit on top. |  | | |

The people who bought them (Arabs basically) would be interested in the London aspect more than the ground. Like Sunderland’s new owners they could buy 10 grounds if they wished - but you are probably right. Charlton are much bigger/more attractive, with big potential being in London. More recent Premier League history too | | | |

He has put in approx £100 million. Probably more than every other person combined in our history |
100m.....you and your theories/figures.
Do we give a s**t how much he's put in? No matter how much he's put in that was his choice. He could have sold the club what he had admitted in the interview with Watson last year. That was his choice to stay and 'keep us afloat'.
I spend money to watch Town games. Are you going to defend me or feel sorry? No you aren't. You'll tell me to stop going football matches if I don't like it. So it's my choice to be going to watch them. Same as Evans and his policy of 'keeping us afloat'. He keeps using ITFC as a part of his business.
Moreover what have we got as a club from his policy? Nothing positive. We haven't reached the Premier League where we should aspire. What we've got is ongoing destruction and failure.
He doesn't care about getting us promoted or making us better and progressive. More than likely his main target for this year is to sell either of Downes/Woolfenden or both and recoup his 'investment'.
Haven't seen you praising your Marcus for giving Lambert 5 yrs contract.
As it's been said above and what I've been saying for years that nothing is going to get better as long as he owns the club. [Post edited 5 Jan 2020 5:23]

You're being selective.
You are dodging a very important factor that is a fanbase and its attitude. Charlton fans had been voicing their anger and displeasure over the way their club has been run for years. They HAVE HAD THE BALLS to do so. They could have been a timid, docile Ipswich, stay quiet and accept the situation could they?
Moreover they could have done Ipswich again and said: 'Duchatelet puts in a few millions a year to keep us afloat so stop moaning, if you don't like then buy the club blah blah blah'.
Today they have a new owner and this is the reward for their attitude. | | | |

Not really sure what it is that you want here? Presumably you are saying 100 million is not enough and he is therefore a disgrace, it is worth noting that 100 million is roughly the same as mel Morris out into Derby.
As for mot buying a ticket the only comparison I cam see there is if ME stops putting money in an runs us at cost neutral, this would mean selling Downes and wolfy and doing the same every season. It is the logical thing to do but we are lucky that he doesn't follow that approach | |

Let's be honest, he's lumbered with us as much as we are with him, both parties would be happy with an amicable split, but it's not going to happen anytime soon, or ever if continue on the current path. |  |

Anyone who advocates the telling of others to literally spit in the face of our current owner is best ignored when it comes to protests, in my opinion. |  |

Pie in the sky! Who on earth is going to buy a club with no assets except the ‘player’s’ and I believe the training ground? As long as we lease Portman Road I doubt anybody will come within a country mile of us! | | | |

Without knowing the potential terms of any sale or details of prospective buyers, how can you possibly make any comment on whether Evans should have sold or whether selling was a better option for us? | | | |

I really hate to go over all this again, but when you say “Evans out” do you care or understand the consequences? He owns 85% of the club, and it is a business which loses £6-10m a year just in terms of not being able to cover its operating costs. So without someone else who is willing to buy his shares, and take over that commitment to keep ploughing in millions just to keep the club going (let alone for buying players, new wages and managers’ costs) then the club will die. Which clearly no supporter wants.
I doubt evens wants the club but is prepared to keep it going.
Why on Earth would any one else want to buy it? It has no assets to speak of, is in dire straits on the pitch, and loses millions. It’s not going to happen. [Post edited 4 Jan 2020 19:29]

There IS an alternative. One that the likes of Luton and Portsmouth have used to recover without 'doing a Bury'
The club used to be owned by its shareholders - and it was shareholders who kept the club going for a few months when Sheepy drove it into insolvency.
YES the club is losing eye-watering amounts of money at present. But it IS possible your cloth accoring to your income as Wycombe have shown.
I am not entirely convinced by the club accounts which never seem entirely clear where the money is going.... a bit of clarity would help
Evans could swallow his £100 million loss and walk away. | |

So, day one of the new ownership.
This “fans consortium” needs to find £7m to keep the club running and pay those pesky bills and wages. That’s before even thinking about buying new players or bringing new players in on loan.
Any takers? | | | |
