My mistake Sparks, he's doing a wonderful job and has done since he was first appointed!

All sales proceeds go to Group treasury. Selling an asset and not using the funds to reinvest is asset stripping.


This is simply wrong on two levels. Funds do not go to group treasury- they show in the clubs accounts, which run at a loss, funded by the group.

Secondly, as already explained, it is not in any way "asset stripping".

"Asset stripping is a term used to refer to the practice of selling off a company's assets in order to improve returns for equity investors."

"Asset stripping is the process of buying an undervalued company with the intent of selling off its assets to generate a profit for shareholders."

"the activity in which a company buys an unsuccessful company cheaply and sells its assets separately at a profit"

Very supportive of our illustrious owner. Not sure why? Perhaps you can elaborate for me, it might be me who is looking at his ownership wrongly?

People are confusing asset stripping with what in effect is loss management. Evans will be looking to reduce the cost of the club on himself as much as possible and sales help that. Its just managing the overall loss effectively to ensure that its as minimal as possible given we won't profit. Naturally this does nothing for the footballing side of the business.

Think the majority would agree with you, I would. However, the fact is it doesn't seem to get reinvested and that's the issue, well for me it is.

That's fine Sparks, you clearly don't want to answer the question, so that just confirms the answer.

You are the one making assertions.

I have asked these questions several times and watched you tapdance around them. Eventually you have decided that your way out is to ask something back and pretend (dishonestly) that it is I who am avoiding things...

The more obvious way out would be to say "sorry- I acknowledge you have not said anything of the sort and that I was wrong.

No. The money isnt removed- it simply reduces what has to be put in.

Very very different in principle.


Quite similar in practice though. The club loses a real asset, and sees nothing for it.*


*Based on the current position of no money from transfers being made available to the manager.

No. It really isnt. The club sees the money, which reduces the extent to which it makes huge losses and plunges towards insolvency.

Importantly, it is also a term which has hugely negative connotations and invites criticism of the person profiting. ME is plainly not profiting and it is simply dishonest of people to use this sort of pejorative term. Not to mention damaging.

Yeah, I know you are right from a business perspective, but from a fan and football team perspective we lose a talented prospect and get .... nothing.

Got to say Sparks has nailed this.

Also, us more pragmatic types seem to support Evans which is not strictly correct, we just have an element of understanding in why he runs the club way he does in the light of few facts on which to base an opinion.

Personally, I don’t think he has enough cash, simple as that.

Or, he has a firm view on how much of his cash he is prepared to throw down a probably bottomless pit, having been burned previously, and having seen the game change so much that competing with the big boys is now inconceivable and the money needed to buy Harry Maguire is £85m....

My biggest frustration with Evans is not how much money he has or hasn’t got, but how stupid he is with what he has.

He gave Keane and Jewell god knows how much which they promptly wasted on crap. Then with Mick, our most capable manager in years he shuts off the tap so we have to make a silk purse from a sows ear. Hurst comes along and is given somewhere in the region of £2m+ which he spends on absolute garbage and then Lambert arrives and it’s back to offering half eaten packets of jelly babies and wondering why we can’t land our targets.

Mick and Lambert are the most experienced managers we’ve had since Joe Royle and they’ve been let down whilst their piss poor counterparts have had money to burn. That’s the main reason I’m sick of Evans. I’d take Vincent Tan over him at this rate.
