Yeah, he's made some mistakes (many of which in hindsight). But with no fans for another 6 months, that'll be hitting his pocket again, but he's still stumped up for Arsenal's U21 captain.
I'd be really worried for this club in Covid, without Evans propping us up. We are much luckier than most in League 1. |  |

Exactly. But there will be plenty leaping in here with their anti-Evans rhetoric. |  |

"praise the Lord for Marcus Evans.....We are much luckier than most in League 1".
Seeing any particular connection there? |  |

Credit where it's due, Evans is great for a time like this. I don't think we can ignore the fact we are only in this division because of the systematic decline we've been in since he took over though.
He's admitted we are an investment gone wrong. He's taken us from play off contenders in the Championship to league one.
I'll hold off on praising the lord for him but yes, right now, we're better off with him than without. |  |

I agree with this. My OP was slightly naughty. | |

Fair play to him, he's a better coach than he is an owner. Since he's started taking an interest in first team affairs our manager has finally realised it's a good idea to stop constantly changing sides, systems and formations. |  |

Who would have thought that opting to be a hands-off owner who doesn't interfere with the manager's job would be yet another catastrophic misjudgement? |  | | |

He should probably save himself a few quid and sack Lambert and just do the job himself. | |

Its strange isn't it. Its took a global pandemic for the benefits of Marcus Evans to come to the fore.
I actually think if football can continue throughout the season we have a genuine chance of promotion almost through default. |  | | |

You cover the bases in your reply to J2. His money and general approach of not being a dodgy owner is of course welcome, but... There's an awful lot stacked on that 'but' side of the scales. | |

Yes, I do.
If there was a God who cared, we wouldn't be in this division. |  |

The season not being completed is actually my greatest worry. |  |

That we are in League 1 is also in large part down to Marcus Evans, his poor managerial appointments and his failure to institute a proper footballing structure at the club. All of which have cost him even more money. [Post edited 23 Sep 2020 8:04]

And on the other hand he's wrecked the entire club.
So good news and bad news really. |  |

Yeah i know all that. The appointments; most of us agreed with them at the time. I take your point about the football structure though.
Just right now, where we are and with this pandemic/recession/further 6 months of no fans, we're actually quite lucky to have a rich benefactor. There are many clubs who must be extremely worried right now.
I take the points on his decisions, but financially he's kept us going through unprecedented tough times. | |

Let's be fair here, Marcus Evans is reponsible for the fact we're in the third division. Paul Lambert is why we'll be there for a long while. | |

I think it's more praise the lord that we're still a big club.
Had Covid happened in 2/3 years time once we'd established ourselves as a bottom end league 1 club we'd be fcuked also.
The people who should be getting praise are those who made us a big club, not Evans who has taken us to this low. |  |

Yeah, let’s all enjoy the thirteen years of mediocrity since he took over shall we!
I really can’t be bothered to go through the list of his poor decisions again, most of which were obviously poor at the time and didn’t need the benefit of hindsight to appear so. |  | | |
