Surely all he needed to do was sell Lambert to Celtic and the debt would have been wiped? |  |

He had no choice to be honest.
He was never getting the money back following the business model in place and he obviously wasn’t going to change it. Writing it off was the only viable option. [Post edited 26 Feb 2021 15:08]

I agree. First good thing he’s done for the club but I’m grateful for him for wiping the 100m off (not that he had any way of getting it back). |  |

It's not the first good thing he's done for us. Much like with MM, it is definitely time for Evans to move on now though. |  |

The club needs to be run 24/7 not someone who can't afford to give it that time, if he's not prepared to appoint people to run it.
If after 13 years he hasn't done it, it was never going to work out here.
I'm nervous and excited. Evans has run the club into the ground really, but he's also a stable owner and not a loon, but he's also run the club so badly, I'm cautiously happy he's appears to be going.
The new owners, is very much lets wait and see, promising that they have a background in sport but the lower leagues of American soccer is very different to the Football league over here. |  | | |

he'll have a clause in there, no doubt about it. so if we go up to the prem in 5 years say, he'll get a chunk |  |

How much do you think he might have got back otherwise?
The Norwich Union debt can't be sold for more than he bought it for anyway (think that was £8m against £32m). |  |

Marcus Evans has been rubbish at running Ipswich Town Football Club, but if it turns out in the end that he kept the club solvent for a decade, wrote off the debt, then sold us on to a responsible owner, then I'll be grateful for that. [Post edited 26 Feb 2021 15:43]

that money had ceased to exist other than as a line in the accounts a long time ago. |  |

By you, by me, yes, but not by those who have always mistrusted him and who assume that everything he does is shady and dodgy. And there are plenty of these people. |  | | |

Indeed. I'm sure he'll get something back if we went to the PL, but it was always going to be written off for any takeover.
We just have to hope the new owner doesn't "do a Burnley"

Maybe putting tens of millions of pounds in in the first place was the first good thing, eh? he's kept the club in the football league with his money, no doubt about it. There's more to life than money - Sir Bobby's contribution was worth more than billons - but contributing tens of millions to ITFC is a huge thing he's done for this club and this Town, and that should be recognised for a moment. | | | |

Start a bidding war. I wonder if there are any other large clubs in Europe that may be interested? Does any know if Lambert played for anyone else, as i've not heard it mentioned? |  |
