Why would he have to sign one. He wasnt sacked his contract wasnt renewed. So he wouldnt have received a pay off so there wouldnt have been an NDA right? |
He left the club in March. His contract would have run until the end of June. NDAs are standard practice as part of severance packages in football management. |  | | |

Yeah financial wise to get to 'that' next level we will need new owners I definitely agree on that
I think for now where we are. We have enough to bounce back. Lambert really should have done altho really he shouldn't have had the opportunity to with his lacklustre performance after Hurst anyway
I think for me. I just want to see pc get us up. Keep us up and and that point see a new owner who can invest to get us back in the prem
( if new owner happens before of course fine.) But in not overly fussed at the moment. Just need PC to recruitment. Renew contracts sensibly and rebuild properly. [Post edited 26 Mar 2021 13:06]

I don't doubt PC will get us up. I just believe the long term trend will continue and we'll end up mid table in this league before too long under Evans. There's nothing to suggest Evans would see us at that point. That's why some of us are so gutted. I really does feel like a one time opportunity has been lost. Pure speculation of course but I just can't see Evans selling us now for a long time. To come that close and pull the plug (this isn't fact but from what we've heard it sounds the most likely option) it just suggests he's staying for the foreseeable future.
In the short term I think we'll go up. I think in a decade we'll be mid table league one if Evans is still here. |  |

That said. Even with an NDA it wouldnt stop him being able to be factual to PC. Even a " dont touch it" would be allowable with an NDA I'd imagine. |  |

I might well be wrong but .... as soon as the rumours were in circulation, the teams performance picked up again, I wonder if Evans thought that we might go up and asked for more money? | | | |

I do wonder if we did go up if hed try to sell quicker as we would then be 1 step away from the prem and % wise better positioned for him to be able to get some of his debt back. Perhaps if he had pulled out to this takeover that could be why. Sell now. Say goodbye to the debt. Effectively | |

In your little world it might be allowable. In a court of law, less so. | | | |

Possibly but I agree with you that you need very little to get out of this league so can't see it making that much difference.
I would honestly accept 7th place right now for the takeover to go through. IMO it's the key issue here. | |

Sorry but theres no way an NDA would stop you from being able to recommend or not recommend a company.
Giving away info. Correct you wouldnt. But and NDA wouldnt stop you from saying. Dont do it. | |

It would depend on how it was drawn up. It might specifically say you can't say anything. | |

Agree. Knowing this club we're probably painting Cook's office.
Knowing the way Evans runs the club he probably got a tin of yellow paint cheap. | |

I think Cook is different to the other managers ME has hired in he's had more recent success. I do think ME will back him this summer and we'll see a fair few changes this summer. |  |

Is it probably not more a case of him not getting the financial deal that he wants from the sale rather than he actually has a desire to still own us? Personally, I think it's the former. I have seen nothing to suggest the latter. PC is potentially a good appointment, but it didn't take a footballing genius to actually make that appointment: Evans would have been even more of a friggin idiot if he hadn't employed him. I have absolutely zero faith in Evans. He has destroyed us, bit by bit. If PC succeeds it will be despite Evans, not because of him. |  |

Trouble with that statement is it could mean a multitude of things, from a freshening up of the turnstiles to improved catering, to more investment within the squad to an outright buyout. |  |

The man is delusional. We know this. Look back at his interviews. When we were 15th in the Championship he was talking about the Premier League and his investment making us "competitive". He's utterly delusional.
It's nothing but misplaced pride keeping him here now. We are going one way under his leadership as he's proven since he came here. He might well want to remain owner, he might well like owning a club but he's incompetent. He refuses to delegate power. He is slowly letting this club rot.
I suspect he will rearrange the deckchairs on the Titanic in the summer. LON will be sacrificed and another yes man brought in but that will be enough for some to suggest he's learnt his lessons and it's all chance.
Delusional. He must sell. I hope some will look at it like I do and refuse to put another penny in until he leaves. I know some say it will just damage the club but it's time to fight for the long term instead of being scared in the short term.
Just my opinion. Other opinions are available and I know some people NEED to attend Town games as it's their escape. No judgement from me towards anyone who renews or looks at this differently but if you do agree, we need to get him out through all peaceful and legal means. He is not a bad man. Just delusional, possibly a bit arrogant and certainly has too much pride but he's not deliberately harmful. He does need to go though, ASAP. |
I agree in that Evans should be the focus of our discontent as I blame he, and he alone for this mess but Cook also needs our backing. I think it needs to be made clear from the get go if we're going to continue as is despite the new manager we will go home. |  |

Posted just this in the other thread, and others before. If he wants to continue, then let’s actually see something change, a realisation that it hasn’t worked up until now, so try something different. Currently it is rinse, wipe, repeat. Second poster nailed it, dictators rarely see reality. |

Im sure most people going through divorces have one party that has a desire to make it work - well, too bad for them really as they should have put more work into the relationship when it was viable.
We're in a coma, and Evans' financial input is just keeping us on life support with no chance of waking up barring a miracle - and that miracle will only ever come with a new owner or Evans some how rolling his sleeves up and getting this train back on the tracks. |  |

The problem is, we're expecting Evans to make the right decision on selling the club when he has got pretty much every decision wrong since buying the club. | |
