Depends who we get - there are far worse people out there than Evans but there must be better options too. | |

Evans keeps us alive but at the same time is killing us. It’s a wretched existence. Time for change. | |

Why? The first was about a week ago, but is in isolation. The second may have been today. You might be right to be sceptical but the logic around the timing seems unfair | |

Surely not! on 07:25 - Aug 2 with 2449 views | El_Fenix | According to Wikipedia, the Marcus Evans' group "organises live business, sports and entertainment events around the world. Its global regional head offices are: Europe — Dublin, US — Chicago and APAC — Kuala Lumpur." The business is being devastated by the impact of the Corona virus. If the core business is struggling to avoid bankruptcy, then ITFC is an irritating distraction. If Marcus Evans can get cash out, ownership of the club is likely to change within a few months. Alternatively, ITFC could be forced into administration. | |
| ITFC shall rise like a phoenix from the ashes of its long decline! |

Surely not! on 10:20 - Aug 2 with 2077 views | itfcjoe | It wouldn’t happen, and not even a consideration but I wonder if Saudis will try and buy an EFL club and get in PL via backdoor - thei biggest issue was the state sponsored piracy of PL rights | |

Nail on head. Perfectly summed up. | | | |
Surely not! on 11:15 - Aug 2 with 1850 views | FrankfurtBlue | I wonder how any one person might learn of any takeover talks, let alone two distinct people. Evans can be accused of many things, but indiscretion is not one of them. Assuming the OP is no joke, it would appear that Evans is trying to drum up interest by "placing" information, regardless of whether there is any real interest or not. Hopes abound! | | | |
Surely not! on 11:49 - Aug 2 with 1734 views | ElephantintheRoom | Erm... a thrid division football clubwith no assets on a downward spiral would be a bit of a gamble at the best of times.... with the provenance of £100million losses in the last decade of decline then it becomes utter madenss.... throw in the near certainty that next season - and for how many seasons in the future cannot continue with crowds - then your rumour becomes just a little bit unsustainable. | |
