I bet Evans hasnt even battered an eyelid at our current state 09:49 - Feb 18 with 2111 views | chrismakin | Sat in his luxury Bermuda home. Trying to figure out how to make money from the upcoming Olympics after losing Millions over the past year. He has much bigger fish to fry than a tiny football club on his portfolio where he can just keep his annual direct debit going to keep it afloat. The fact he wasnt even present at the club on tuesday is shocking. The silence from himself since his last statement is another example of how he literally gives no shts about this annoyance to his life. The rugby loving, Bermuda living tycoon has no interest into the life of ITFC and I think it's a sad fact we are all going to have to get used to that in 5/6years time we are going to be a conference football club.

I bet Evans hasnt even battered an eyelid at our current state on 09:57 - Feb 18 with 1618 views | MattinLondon | I’m sure he cares about the tens of millions he has lost and has no hope of clawing back. He has no idea how to run a football club and is too egotistical and stubborn to employ people who do (and will probably want to pay peanuts as well). | | | |

Doubt it he wont be sat looking at his statement he will just have his accountant ticking things. The money he puts into town is small change in comparison to other owners | |

There's no argument that he's not a dreadful owner but to suggest anyone is happy to lose money the way he has/does is daft. | |

this is the thing, it really is as simple as scouting out a real footballing CEO, getting him/her in, and watching how things start to improve. if he wanted to he could fix this whole mess with 1/2 key appointments. so why isn't he doing this | |

You're right it's strange that someone would be happy to be lose money. But hes not acting like a man who is worried about it Hes continued to support Lambert despite what everyone sees. The facts are there for him to see yet he continues to ignore it. Without any changes he will continue to lose money.. so yes it's fair to say he doesnt care as it means so little to him. We are a great piece of PR for his group as they say even bad PR is good PR. | |

I am absolutely convinced it's ended up costing him more to run the club poorly 'on the cheap' than it would if he'd invested properly in the right people/infrastructure at the start. | | | | Login to get fewer ads

People like Evans never lose money, they just move the debt about. | | | |

Absolutely. All that wasted money in failed signings, pay offs (we seemed to have loads of those when Jewell was here especially). Wasting war chests on managers who turn out to be rubbish. Lost revenue from relegation. Etc., etc. | |

That's the thing. He ain't losing money really. Just keep adding to the debt. Enjoy the PR that comes with owning the club. Use it to sell tickets in sport etc etc | |

yep, everything this club does is so short sighted. and when certain bits gets pointed out they are met with "there are bigger things to worry about" im a big believe that all pieces of the puzzle matter, and if you fail in the small bits the bigger pieces fail too | |

No idea. You would think with our budget and the current climate you could find a CEO/DOF at another club who knows the lower leagues inside out, double their salary and get them on board. | | | |

Deep pockets, all that bread. Crumbs... But wouldn't he be steaming about Lambert saying he is not going to protect him like he did Lerner. Is some other club about to poach Lambert? | |

The problem with him is, he is incompetent to run a football club himself, but isn't willing to delegate enough power for someone more qualified and capable to run it for him.

Feel free to explain exactly how it all works in detail. This has been covered many times, occasionally by accountants too. They will agree that X amount of losses can be countered here and there, of course, but the view you're offering up is rather simplistic don't you think? | |

The only people he has ever appointed to do the day to day running of the club have effectively been a mouth piece for Evans himself. Again, they have not been football men, Clegg, the 2 MD's and even now you could say Lee O'Neil is not really a football man, apart from his work in the academy. Maybe this is what Lambert means about the structure of the club being wrong [Post edited 18 Feb 2021 13:07]

Might be simplistic. But see is this way If you're a doctor and theirs blood going going everywhere. You get involved immediately to stop the blood loss from getting worse Evans is the doctor.. but instead of doing anything about it. Hes just sitting there watching you bleed out despite k owning exactly what to do to solved the problem. | |
