| £3.6m down the drain 09:34 - Feb 10 with 1266 views | DinnernotTea |
Didn't we have roughly 9,000 season ticket holders this season? 9,000 x £400 = £3.6m. I appreciate some will pay more, some will pay less but add the revenue from ifollow and Ipswich fans pay I'd say pay a minimum £4m per year by just supporting the club.
What I cannot get my head around and I find it dangerous is that Evans is willing to see at least half of this revenue disappear in order to protect a man that has lost 48 games in 109.
It's just so odd. Even if it's £1m to release him from his contract you're then protecting your £4m no? |  |

But what if it's £6m or £8m to sack Lambert and his backroom staff with four years of their contracts to run? |  |

That’s roughly 2 years of reduced ST sales.... whereas sacking PL, might actually increase ST sales in March/ April? |  |

Do you think it will be that much? Not sure if managers get full pay when they get sacked? Probably but I hope not.
If rumours are true and he's on £550,000 per year then it's roughly £1.65m to pay him if his contract ends 2024. | |

That's still a big financial commitment, tho (at a time when he's having to put in extra due to Covid). I know it's paid in installments, but are STs going to bring in an extra £1.5m to £2m per year to cover that? Especially if the new managerial appointment doesn't bring success. | |

Hopefully speaking to press is part of his contract, in which case he broke it last night,
or am I clutching at straws. |  |

Surely they'd have performance based clauses?
I can't believe a failure would have their contract paid off in full, and being sacked (in most instances) would indicate failure. |  |

I thought it was rumoured to be significantly higher than that. Plus you have his Assistant and other backroom staff to be paid off. | |

But then surely he gets monthly reports by the finance team saying "Marcus there's been a further 112 direct debits cancelled." If it's minimum £30 a month each then surely he must think this cannot go on, for the sake of his own pocket if nothing else. | |

Thing is, we have to pay it either way.
The real expense would be appointing a new manager, but if we went with Dyer and Butcher that wouldn’t necessarily be a huge amount.
Appointing someone with experience like the Cowley brothers would be a bigger ask - impossible to know if we/ME can afford it without knowing the ins and outs though.
That 5 year contract looks more staggering every day. |  |

Does he get that much financial detail on ITFC? Is that stuff even compiled on a monthly basis*?
Perhaps he believes that there will be a certain baseline of support and nobody has tried to disabuse him.
* It's "nae normal" for fans to cancel part-way through a season. | |

That five-year contract was insane under the circumstances, even if we are to believe it was negotiated when Town were going well at the start of the season. Three years would have been plenty generous enough. | |
