....that when the crowd turned on Mick they were playing right into Evans hands. I bet he couldn't believe his luck. Here at last was the perfect opportunity to strip ITFC bare, employ a cheap manager, reduce the wage bill and pocket some profit. And all this with the approval of the fans, after all, it's what they had all been screaming for. He saw them coming and the plan worked perfectly... |  | | |  |

Although attendances dropping to an average 13k won't help his profit margins, when you're having to cover a 30 seater stadium.
If Evans has any sense, he'll have to start reducing the areas that are open to supporters and condense them down. |  |

Assets, apart from Bart and I can't see him being here in the new year... | | | |

Evans won't be able to sell the club if we are in league 1, as the value will plummet like a lead balloon... |  | | |

How is having a club in League One with absolutely no saleable assets and a failed manager going to help his pocket? |  |

If that were true he would have pocketed the 10 million received from sales, but that doesnt mean that I dont believe Evans has no real ambition or care for the club.
He uses it as a tax offset first and foremost. |  |

Lower leagues, sell PR. open up 15k seater near foxhall.
It's realistically the only future I see for ITFC based on how football has changed.
We all hate Norwich etc, but their location, population and status means they're always going to be ok where they are.
Town, struggling to gain more or keep existing supporters, better clubs just a motorway away.
I think everyone just needs to remember the good times and just realise we are now a small fish in a very big financial pond. | |

How is losing in excess of £6M a year propping us up saving him any money in 'tax offsets'? [Post edited 3 Oct 2018 15:24]

Blimey, nearly ALL the Marcus Evans Fallacies are here. From the 'tax break one' to the he 'he's lining his pockets at our expense' one. All it needs is 'he's an arms dealer' and I'll have filled my bingo card. [Post edited 3 Oct 2018 15:27]

They can the stands. Not the ground the stands sit on. Is how I understood it. | |

How do they sell just the stands? I suppose there might be some scrap value in the metal fittings. |  |

Strip it bare to offset against the millions he has put in to the club over the years? Where's this profit you speak of? |  |

What are you on Frimmers!
Because the stands (without the ground) are such an asset, yep.
The MEG plan is genius. |  |

The club own the stand. They rent the ground from the council.
They could sell the stadium to the council who could then tear it down and build properties on the land. | |

You do realise that neither ITFC or Evans owns PR? It's owned by the Borough Council thankfully. We pay rent for the ground. |  |

Evans didn't want Mick to go, apparently. |  |

They couldn't because there's a covenant on the ground.
Say there wasn't though, how much are the stands worth as an asset?
This is ridiculous. Are we really having this conversation? | |

Total nonsense. Evans would have kept Mick here for another ten years if he could. The fans made his position untenable, though, and combined with falling season ticket sales he was forced into a decision. There's no doubt in my mind that Evans wanted Mick to stay. | | | |
