The point was though that he was never going to be sacked. So the option was to support him and the team with the following season being in league 1 and a promotion push or to call for his head ag the start and go into league 1 in a horrible midst of players and manager vs the fans.

I didn’t like his appointment really at the time, nor did I like how he performed in the season we went down but that didn’t stop me trying to back the team. Even if that included a few Lambert is a blue chants along the way.

The atmosphere in the relegation season was the only positive of that whole year so using it now as a stick to beat the fans with is monumentally unfair.


Not going to be sacked in December is very different to march after being so heavily back in January and then again in May after no improvement at all


PL was made bigger than the club and that is why we are in this mess. That is why he got the 5 years


A large section of our club made him that to mask their embarrassment at getting it so so wrong

....the blind loyalty and chants of "Paul Lambert is a blue" led in some way to Evans giving him that ridiculous contract.

Undoubtedly Evans got caught up in the feel good factor, perhaps if the fans had contained themselves we wouldn't be where we are now.

But he wasn’t going to be sacked in March either. It was pretty clear when we got him as manager that if we went down, Evans was seeing it as a free hit - rightly or wrongly.

If he was made bigger than the club, it was not by the fans. You can’t blame the fans for that. If he indeed was seen as bigger then the club and got the five year deal because of it, the man you should be blaming us the worst owner in the football league.

I remember 5 years ago calling for Evans to be protested against and the like.. but no. Not to be. Evans is the man you ought to be blaming for the sh*tshow going on right now.

Did Evans not give him the contract during our run of 1 win in 15 though? And by that point the crowd had turned on him mostly anyway had they not?

Who knows. Evans out.

Please explain what Evans out means?

Do you just ignore the implications of what it means so that you can just have someone to shift your own responsibility to?

Or are you misguided enough to think itnisna comment with any meaning to it?

You've been defending Evans for years as we have become a joke club under his guidance. Therefore when speaking about who is the stain on the history of the club you should start with yourself.

As I have recently said you are a TWTD version of Lambert. You both are painfully clueless and keep waffling so much nonsense.

...ever really turned on him.

He's got away with it for obvious reasons.

There is no doubt that Evans is the underlying issue here, but as you know that's not a situation we, as fans, can easily influence.

Everyone out.

I have no responsibility. I took action and stopped funding Evans’ future retirement many many months ago.

If the fans protested and stood up to the bloke responsible for ruining this club, he’d walk. Instead, there’s people like you who think we are fortunate to have him. Which speaks volumes. If you’re going to play the blame game fishers, I suspect you know in your heart of hearts that really.. you have nobody to blame but yourself. Because you’ve supported Evans year on year and allowed him to ruin the club. Hopefully you sleep well at night knowing you have played a part in the killing of our club. Evans out.

A proper drive and protest from a unified fanbase against Evans and I have no doubt he’d walk away. But too many people instead come back with nonsense like ‘you go and buy the club then’ or ‘name me a buyer of the club instead then’ or my personal favourite of ‘he puts in 6m a year so we should be thankful’. LOL.

Evans out. Lambert out.

Rommy is young and naive but you are a grown up. It is embarrassing that you can't join the dots that an owner can't be kicked out, let alone at owner currently bank rolling the club. The other answer was to shut the club down, as much as you like to sing against Ipswich with norwich and you come across as a budgie I don't think you want the club shut down

The weird Lambert reference didn't work the other times either, if we are looking at failure on here you are top 5

This whole dragging up of MM incessantly is no more than rose/nostalgia/history tinted glasses and the majority on here are utterly sick of it.

All managers get to a point where eventually they've taken a club as far as they can, whereupon it's time for them to go and they either resign or get given the boot - Mick was no exception.

What Fishers & others are really mourning is that ME hasn't made a decent managerial appointment since MM's departure - if he had & we were in the top 6 in the Champ, you simply wouldn't be seeing these interminable MM love-in threads. As it was, we'd ground to a boring stasis under him & rather than stick, we decided to risk a twist, as most fans & most clubs do in that situation. Unfortunately, having the owner that we do, the gamble failed - but I suspect that *without the benefit of hindsight*, the majority of us would make the same decision again.

Yeah Mr.Lambert of TWTD lets allow owner to continue destroying us while not voicing our displeasure.

I just want my club to progress that is it and it is never going to happen while Evans owns the club. Obviously you aren't bright enough to grasp that and I don't expect you to understand it.

You and Lambert are so, so similar to each other. Two walking nonsenses in terms of footballing knowledge. To be fair to Lambert though he VERY RARELY and OCCASSIONALLY gets things right. One of those right decisions was to play with our two best centre backs on Tuesday night against the difficult opponent and it has paid off.

....I judged it at the time, as most people know.

That's not "really bad form", it wasn't even prophetic, it was obvious to anyone who wasn't blinded by Lambert's posturing and PR.

Now we appear to have a fanbase that are getting giddy about the prospect of the club being taken over by a US based consortium that have a background in property development.

The writing is on the wall.


Yep, no revisionism needed here. You, and a few others made it pretty clear at the time.

Personally, I can deal with the 'cringey' side of it, and I understand the 'keep supporting' mantra too. The problem is the fans who kept singing PL is a blue, and refused to accept the fact he'd done absolutely nothing constructive on the pitch.

I warned people on here at the time, Lambert relegated us without an ounce of fight or anything, yet people kept seeing what they wanted to see.

And if people like it or not, those who kept singing support for Lambert that day have become part of the problem that's seen us keep him for 2 more failures in a row.

The is / was a poster on here who was involved in the drafting of Keane's contract, so if he were able to comment I'm sure he would, and do a better job than me.

The 5 year contract was probably written over a period of time, say August to October 2019, and maybe signed long before announced. By the time announced the plaster had well and truly come off taking us to a 60 something year low... But once offer / acceptance and consideration have taken place a contract is in place.

Those break clauses people mention... That win at Hull probably pushed it back didn't it?
In the same way players are accused of playing better / trying harder when it comes to contract renewal time...

Nothing like what you suggest. You are dishing out some nonsense just like Lambert so expect a truth to be said to you.

You are in no position to slate other fans over their 'wrongdoings' given your affection towards Evans who himself is the main reason of the club's decline.

I don’t know why you’re making it all about you but here goes.

1. The Mick abuse was wrong and yes, you stood up to it.
2. No idea what you mean by that. Yes, Lambert should have kept us up.
3. Sorry, I don’t remember all of your posts from two and a bit years ago. If you say that you raised that point but I have no reason to doubt you.

I still don’t know why you’re making it all about you.
