CLUB STATEMENT: DISAPPOINTED WITH MEDIA STANCE 20:34 - Jan 24 with 10670 views | DublinBlue84 | https://www.eadt.co.uk/sport/ipswich-town/evans-backs-lambert-again-7069150 "While we are very disappointed that the EADT/Ipswich Star has taken this stance, we fully understand the frustrations of supporters with recent results. The performances and results of the opening stages of the season have not been mirrored over the last two months or so and the manager, staff and players are fully aware that there needs to be an improvement if we are to achieve the goal of promotion back to the Championship this year. Owner, Marcus Evans, has recently reiterated his support for the manager and with players now coming back from injury and the recent addition of Josh Harrop and Luke Thomas to add competition to the squad, he - and everyone at the Club - remains fully behind the management and players in the challenge ahead. We are two points off the Play-Offs with games in hand on nearly all the clubs above us and we have not yet reached the halfway point in the season. There is a lot of football to be played yet, 75 points up for grabs in what is a very challenging season on many fronts. So yes, we understand the frustrations of the local newspaper and yes we understand the frustrations of the supporters. The manager, his staff and the players are frustrated as well but they are determined to turn those frustrations into celebrations." [Post edited 24 Jan 2021 21:04]

If he has a number of games to save himself they're not about to make it public. No surprise that this statement has been released but many-a-time a statement of confidence has been released one week only for a sacking to follow the next. | |

I assume Evans hopes he walks if he knows the players and media are now against him. The paper should also go back with “what from the last 18 months makes you believe we will turn disappointment into celebrations?” | | | |

Yes and if we had at least a half decent manager we might actually make the playoffs but we haven't we have his Paul Lambert. If Marcus Evans really believes we can finish in the playoffs despite all the daminng evidence to the contrary with this Joker as manager he really is even more clueless than what we all thought. | | | |

is was 'only two points off the top' a few weeks ago. It was 'only a couple of wins from safety' a couple of years ago it was... | |

Entirely Evans perogative to have this view of the media. on 20:47 - Jan 24 with 4529 views | homer_123 | Entirely Evans perogative to have the same view of fans. Entirely Evans perogative to continue to support Lambert. He owns it. End of. He doesn't need or have to do anything anyone other than himself wants. Of course...this doesn't make him right. It doesn't detract from the absolute fact he is killing the Club from a thousand cuts. That he continues to disect and maim anything remotely positive of what is left. It also doesn't detract from what the players themselves know...it's not working. Under Evans its never worked. For all the grief Mick took about things being toxic under him. Evans is a cancer. An incidious, onerous death knell that eats away at what this Club once was. What an end to a weekend. | |

The other one is: " we have not yet reached the halfway point in the season." Suggests he's got two games to save his job. | |

They could just keep quiet as opposed to pouring petrol on the flames that currently destroying the club. | |

I don't think they could stay silent on the local paper calling for the manager's head. They might as well write a sign saying 'sacked in the morning' and pin it on his back if they did. | |
