Given the decisions he has made during his ownership of ITFC, I'm not sure you can say with certainty that he isn't an idiot. |  |

Of course he knows it isn’t working.
He won’t pay up that contract though, and Lambert will continue to laugh at us knowing his job is the safest in the country. |  |

He gave him a 5 year deal because our supporters proudly expressed how happy they were under PL. Getting relegated in the weakest fashion possible wasn't a big deal because we had PL, struggling badly in league 1 wasn't important because we had PL. Even in his 3rd season of utter failure our supporters and media were happy to score PL as 7/10 despite the obvious issues. All of this failure under a manager not as popular as PL could have been carnage for Marcus. He will remember how upset the fanbase was under Mick and not risk returning to that without PL |  |

People seem to think this is a binary debate - either he rates Lambert or sacks him.
Evans can see the results and knows we are struggling but he does not want to PAY Lambert off so we are stuck.
Evans is now coming around to the idea of us being a L1 club long term and it might not be so bad having to put less money in. |  | | |

If that's the case then it won't be long before we slip even further. I'm so glad l was around to see the glory days. I feel sorry for the younger fans, what a future they have supporting this white elephant. |  | | |

I'm not sure he has the faintest clue about football to be honest. |  | | |

I agree with this to an extent.
He has listened to the fans more that he admits hence the sarcastic comments he made about being careful etc.
He has become more obstinate and seems to have dug his heels in. [Post edited 10 Jan 2021 11:16]

My favourite part about yesterday was how Taylor spoke about Swindon players moving and passing quickly, as if it's somehow cheating or something football teams don't usually do.
We obviously have unrealistic expectations as a fanbase if we want our team to defend against these underhand tactics.
If Evans was watching then I don't know what to say. |  |

Taylor indicated yesterday that we are adding to our squad so we can assume sacking Lambert isn’t imminent.
Judging by yesterday’s performance there is little prospect of promotion anytime soon. The time will come when Evans cannot afford not sack Lambert, sadly Evans is likely to dither and leave it too late. |  |

Cheaper to stay in div 3, even cheaper in div 4! | | | |

Promotion is a no go. I said yesterday, right now people need to stop talking about us being promotion contenders.
We are so far off being good enough to challenge the top end of this league.
And as I’ve said on multiple occasions as well, Lambert is going nowhere any time soon. [Post edited 10 Jan 2021 15:58]

The problem now is that Evans has, at least to some extent, imposed his own ideas re selection and playing style on Lambert - he clearly doesn't want to admit to himself/others that his interjection hasn't helped.
I'm pretty sure that Evans will have told Lambert 'we're rubbish with 2 up front', and that's why Lambert said it in an interview and refuses to play 2 up front. Until this season, Lambert thought that systems were irrelevant and was happy to try a different formation each week.
They're both as bad as each other, and really not a great double act. |  | | |

Evans clearly resents not keeping MM and remembers that one of the factors was a section of the support's dislike of the style of play under MM. The "non negotiable" style of play is his pathetic reaction to that. He knows he will never make any money out of ITFC or get us back to where we were when he came. So he might as well enjoy p***ing off the supporters. Nobody likes him but he doesn't care. | | | |

Having endured his inept ownership for 13 years, I beg to differ! |  | | |

I actually think, him being typical of many high flying, big money CEO's is he is single minded and largely detached from reality. He's made millions selling tickets to big events with big speakers and he's been told how great he is for a very long time.
Where he's failed to understand football, in the same way he understands his other business, is that for large amounts of people to come and spend money on something, you need to have an event or a speaker that people actually want to see. He gave us Leon Best and Colin Quaner and told us to be careful what we wish for going forward. He'd never treat his cooperate connections like that, he wouldn't promise to deliver Barrack Obama at one of his events and then wheel out Piers Corbyn and tell his customers to do one, when they complained.
He is classic of his breed of people, he thinks football fans are stupid and he blames us for his failings not himself in some sociopathic delusion in the reality he and his hangers of have created for himself. |  |

Evans wants us in League 1
It’s the only reason he would keep Lambert in charge
The man can’t get us up. | | | |
