Would you back an initiative if Marcus Evans put 10% of his stock for the fans to buy, also this would lessen his control of the club to I believe 75%
Out there for comments and reasoning |  | | |  |

What would be the point? It is just a way to give Evans money for no benefit at all |  |

There would have to be a proviso that the extra money would be put back into the club, but this throws up another problem would you trust Lambert with the money | | | |

I wouldn't trust Evans - let alone Lambert. |  |

I didn't last time as I thought the club would recover and there were wealthier people than me who could do more with it, but would do this time as I learned that allowing the ownership of a community club such as ITFC to fall into the hands of a Chelsea supporting multi-millionaire such as Evans was the worse thing to ever happen to it. |  |

If supporters as a collective owned a significant portion of the club we'd get some influence over it and a place on the board at least. It would act as a layer of scrutiny and feedback that we don't currently enjoy with the club.
Right now we get told b0llocks that the human body isn't designed to play football as the reason we're crud. | |

But you wouldn't, if one man owns 75% of the club still then how different is that to owning 87.5%? | |

Yes, I own a tiny part of 12.5% of ITFC not sure what difference me owning a tiny part of 25% would make. |  | | |

Here is my analysis:
Marcus Evans has no incentive to realize a loss on holdings of ITFC debt that have a face value of around £100 million. The club will therefore continue to operate in zombie mode for the foreseeable future. If Evans' entire business empire goes into administration (e.g. due to Covid) the future of the ITFC debt 'asset' will become entangled in an administrative process that could take years to resolve.
If Evans would be willing to sell the debt for 10-15p on the pound, in the course of relinquishing his ownership of the club, 10,000 supporters could chip in £1000 each, or 1000 supporters could chip in £10,000 each, in order to de-zombify the club. I would be willing to contribute £10,000.
A debt-free ITFC operating under the L1 salary cap could become consistently profitable and capable of at least yo-yoing between L1 and the Championship. Plenty of local business persons could manage such a business. In addition, the role of a team manager/head coach would be more narrowly defined, and easier to succeed in.
This situation may be the most that we can hope for ... |  |

Quite like the thought of taking back some control but unless we as fans can possess 51% of the shareholding its pointless ...isn't it ? |  |

Absolutely not, no way, no chance. He would still have 75% freedom to cock up all senior management appointments and just have to pay less to do it. |  |
