Lambert is a problem but Evans is THE problem. 12:43 - Feb 17 with 2493 viewsmonytowbray

Usually when two sides play blame and deflection the middle ground is both are sh1t.

Lambert is a 2 year constant, Evans is a 13 year constant. Anyone who's worked in a crap failing business with a poor boss who refuses to listen (been there myself) will tell you it doesn't matter who you recruit if their hands are tied.

I don't think Evans could sell the club in this current climate, but what he could do in his usual absence is appoint someone qualified to run the club.

Simon Jordan made a good point on the radio earlier - there's plenty of owners who you never hear from, but they have someone running the club for them - take Spurs, owned by ENIC / Joe Lewis but Daniel Levy runs it.


Therein lies the problem, from what we have gathered Evans doesn't trust other people to run his business, Joe Lewis clearly places a lot of trust in Levy and you can see why as he is viewed as one of the hardest people to do business with.

Evans has to think - how can someone do any worse than he has in his 13 years!!

Don't think for one moment Evans planned on being here any longer than 3-5 years at max, his initial process was a quick promotion to then sell the club when we were in the PL.

If you would have said to him before his purchase, you do realise you will still be holding onto to this mothball 13 years later pumping £6m a year in losses, do you still fancy it, I think we can all agree on what the answer would have been...

Though you are relying on the person responsible for not dealing with the subsidence to deal with a hole in the roof. That person has no idea has to address either issues and is incapable of appointing some who can.


It's easy to make short term fixes on issues whilst still failing long term - it's why big stately houses run into disrepair.

Just do what needs to be done on a needs must basis

What is your solution to this problem?

Imagine you persuaded Evans to gift the club to the fans for free, and write off all of the club's debt. What then? I would suggest the problem would have grown bigger by £6m per annum.

So what is your much better idea?

Again, I am one person and not an expert on the matter.

But the first step is the collective accepting our ownership situation and proposing solutions/demands.

I haven't proposed fan ownership for what it's worth, it was just one of many possible potential outcomes.

The solution could be Evans gives up a % of ownership to a supporter's trust, that trust has a democracy and representation within and a say on the board.

Your tone is disappointing. I'm not an Evans apologist, just pointing out that its easy to suggest removing an owner. Very hard to do.

You could start an action group.

Evans has to go ... after 13 years as owner he has turned Town into one of England's leading basket case football clubs.

It's truly bizarre how some fans still cling to the wreckage of this failed regime and berate those who say enough is enough.

If Evans takes us into the Vanarama forelock tugging fence sitters will be saying we should be careful what we wish for ... ignore them.

We are an absolute fiasco and it is only going to get worse. Fan ownership is not the solution, but fan protests to force a change of ownership/structure are the way forward.

Doing nothing is not an option.

He does, agreed.

I understand that Lambert is easier to get rid of, and we need a change there too desperately. That's something that can be done now. But the long game needs to be Evans finding a replacement owner, as this is just getting silly.

The bloke isn't present and on the ball enough to run us.

Evans is the reason we aren’t in the Premier League.

Lambert is the reason we’re 12th in League One.

No, but micro and macro problems, as said on P1 of this thread.

The two are not mutually exclusive. But one has been a longer constant.

My fear is Evans will pull the trigger and all will be forgiven until the next fiasco, when we repeat the cycle for short term change.

With the biggest hindsight in mind the alarm bells have been going off for years. I've been in denial. As have many others. Arguably most of us.
