Northstandveteran we had two other buyers at the start along with evans and he's had two other offers since owning the club so there are buyers out there in the past who have been interested but until someone puts something up for sale you won't know. You don't go round to someone's house and offer them a bid on a house they're not advertising for sale so you?
Plenty of smaller clubs with lower gates and support do so much better financially as well as playing wise look at Brentford, Watford, Bournemouth, Swansea even Norwich yet we struggle in every area of the club to these guys why? Poor management at every level of the club but it starts at the top.
Let's stop being grateful as fans because evans has us by the b@lls, because there may not be a buyer let's not celebrate or be happy we're not bury we'll never be a bury there was never any coming back as they only get 4000 gates at the best of times, instead of thinking we may be bury we could be Brentford Norwich Bournemouth.

Beattie's, I think the club is basically permanently up for sale. You are right there have been potential buyers but as soon as they see the state of the finances they run a mile.

I think you may have misunderstood my post B.B.P.

Evans has totally ruined this club.

I'd rather Mike Ashley owned it, Hell I'd rather Laura Ashley!

In no way was I being a grateful serf.

My post was of genuine concern that the club could fold.

A business heavily in debt that continues to lose millions a year.

Regardless of who owns it.

At some point someone is going to want their money back.

As carberry posted, Evans has said he will listen to offers some time ago but who would want to buy the club?

If you went on Dragon's Den with a business plan for I.T.F.C you'd be ripped to pieces.

Evans has put the club in this perilous position and I genuinely see no way out of it.

At least some fans have the balls to stand up to this abysmal owner. The fact that some happy clapper 'fans' still regard Evans as our saviour and say ''where would we be without him?'' etc. just goes to show the delusion within parts of the fanbase. Those fake fans are as much a part of the problem as Evans and Lambert. #EvansOut #LamberOut #FakeFansOut

Well done blue action,for those against what there doing you cannot be an Ipswich fan ,we cannot allow the disgraceful way this club is run to go on any longer, for me we the fans are the only ones who care about this great club evans , lambert, oneil, and official supporters club dont

Northstandveteran but it is HIS debt not the clubs it's attached to the club however is his company's debt. Quite rightly he'll want as much as possible back however he's had made his money by being successful in his decision making which include cutting your losses when something isn't working for you. Our name and tradition and fan base is what makes us an appealing proposition for the right investor however going into league two WILL ruin that. Before he came we were out of administration with a 30 million debt and losing approx 2.7 million a season with a very good team and passionate manager challenging for the playoffs which would possibly explain how the losses were not anywhere near what they are now however he has managed to make the debt an extra 70 and that's with 50 million recouped in player transfers in that time how can we go from losing only 2.7 million to supposedly 10 a season? It's not on the team or an ageing ground? It makes no sense. Even the team we had then under magilton with Miller, Walters etc would've been on way more money than the team we've had past few years. The owner has no affinity with the club, wanted to buy the mirror newspaper then couldn't so bought us, chelsea fan what possible reason is there for him not to cut his losses and sell up 🤷‍♂️

Also Northstandveteran he has to publicly put it up for sale. You don't pop round someone's asking to buy their house not knowing if it's for sale you go to an estate agent. He's had two offers previously but didn't want to sell that was in an interview by him in 2019 when in the championship.

I wonder how many posters have experience owning or running a multi million pound business? We are ALL entitled to an opinion and as fans we are very emotionally involved - but let's get real...... no self respecting business man is going to sell up and lose £50million never mind £100m. No successful business man wants to give up on something that's seen as a failure - and there is no way fans are going to force that to happen. If anything the nature of a self made multi millionaire (who can afford to sell, give it away, or just park it to one side) means that all these bad vibes will just make him more determined to not sell at a huge loss. Remember any asset is only sold at a loss when the final sale goes through - in the meantime ME has a chance of getting his money back or even a profit as long as he owns it. Unlikely? YES. May it take another 10 years? YES. But as long as he owns the club that ‘financial loss' is an investment that still has a chance, albeit slim, of being returned to ME.

It's like a roulette ball rattling around the roulette wheel for years and years, once it stops rolling at that point and only then do you have a loss or profit or your stake money back.

I was not an anti Lambert fan but there is no way we can blame ME for the last season and a half performance on the pitch - ME doesn't play on the pitch AND I think everyone agrees that the squad that is assembled and our wage bill means we should be top two to get out of this league BUT SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE PLAYER'S MENTALITY AND COMMITMENT (that is more likely to not be ME's fault than actually be his fault!). Players are putting a shift in for sure but busting a gut? Practically crawling off the pitch as they don't have another ounce of effort to give? I don't think so........

Not blaming him individually for our problems but Emyr Huws should be the best player in this division and controlling games, driving us forward - why is that not the case?

Finally, I don't think any protest or a lot of ITFC fans on social media (not all) do anything to help OUR PLAYERS ON THE PITCH where it matters. It doesn't help any players especially the younger ones or make us more attractive to a player looking to join us if he had other options.

Something needs to change and soon.... it's not going to be the owner, and nor should it be today, so unfortunately it looks like if the next four games don't bring 8 points (or 6 points with four excellent attacking performances) then a new manager is required.

NOW PLEASE TELL ME REALISTICALLY WHICH MANAGER WHO THE MAJORITY OF FANS WOULD BE HAPPY WITH AND WE WOULD EXPECT TO GET THIS SQUAD PROMOTED THIS YEAR WOULD ACTUALLY WANT TO COME TO PR?

Personally I would give a large sum of money to give the next pre match team talk and tell the players what us fans have been through, want to see and expect from the 90 mins as a bare minimum. If I don't look in a players eyes and see that desire to win the game, to risk an injury, to want to win 40/60 tackles and to show for the ball then I wouldn't care what the name was on the back of the shirt it would be a case of ‘take your boots off son, you're not playing today'.

Morning BBP.

Just had a lovely nap.

I think we're basically singing from the same hymn sheet along with 90% of the posters on here.

Let's hope you're right and we have a change of owner soon.

Before we do hit the 4th division.

I'm not a gambling man but if someone asked me to put money on us going up or going down I know where my money would be going.

Hence my concern ( regardless of Evans ) that I mentioned in my original post that the club ' could ' be at genuine risk of being wound up.

Stay safe.

Strange how my post got 9 up arrows on the match report yet got down voted on this one?

Everyone must have been pi$$ed last night 😂

Crikey can you imagine what it would be like if this was Newcastle or Leeds for example----more tan posters on gates I suspect!!

Where's Frank?

Texastom ! Do you mean Frank Weston (No.1 Lambert fan) or Frank Lampard ??

Moggasnotebook, you have my vote for owner, manager and skipper! Good post👍
