Judging by Marcus Evans' track record of hiring managers... 10:17 - Mar 2 with 497 viewsMalcolmBlue

...When Paul Lambert eventually goes, Evans should sack Lambert's replacement almost immediately for damage control. The next one has to be the right one or the calls for Evans to go will surely get stronger.

I find it remarkable how patient we have been with Evans over the years, a lot of people jump to his defence saying without his money we would be nothing but lets face it with him in charge we are slowly drifting towards nothingness anyway. One thing dawned on me this weekend, Evans when he first joined the club decided that he didn't want the nomenclature of "Chairman" and instead wanted to be called "Owner". In hindsight we should've seen the writing on the wall back then of how his tenure would pan out. He is in no way the Owner of Ipswich Town Football Club, we the fans are, he is merely a custodian of the club and should treat it as such. The club is not his play thing and it never will be, the lack of passion in the club comes from the lack of passion from the top. We have an "Owner" who we, the fans, didn't even know for years because he doesn't even love the club enough to attend the games. We should never have let someone who treats our club as an asset to be in charge, he never wanted to be in charge of a football team, he just wanted to make a quick buck - we were the gamble that didn't pay-off and now we're both stuck.

I think you are a bit wide of the mark if you think supporters are owners of ITFC.

It's a bit like thinking you own Heinz if you open a can of baked beans

It's more accurate to say that the reason Marcus Evans runs the club the way he does is that the supporters actively encourage him to do so - by buying season tickets to show their 'loyalty' and 'support'. This was never more evident than during the catastrophic relegation season when clap-happy fans applauded the self-destruction in seemingly ever-increasing numbers and queued up to buy season tickets.

In case you have forgotten all this delusional madness was less than a year ago.
