Unless they can get a consortium together between them and buy the club, what's the point? Maybe Marcus could visit them at work and moan at them for not cooking the fries long enough? | |

You're right. Too many people are just saying "Evans Out" without a proper solution. Who in reality is going to take over this club...…? Not a lot of people. Unless people are going to buy him out, what is this really going to achieve. Its not all Evans' fault anyway. Can't blame him for our lack of goals. | | | |

Not sure if a protest will do much but something has got to be done. If we all sit around and do nothing the club will rot further and further. The Magilton protest was laughable and out of order, this one I believe is warranted. | |

End of season when it's confirmed we're in the 3rd division for a second term rather than now? | |

We're football fans that love our club, town and community, not entrepreneurs. We're not the ones that have made poor business decisions for more than a decade. If people want to voice their displeasure and give Evans a bit of a rough ride then more power to them. | | | |

Supporters aren’t supposed to have that plan though - Blackpool, Charlton and countless others certainly didn’t Ultimately all supporters can do is make their feelings known and put pressure on in the hope that it might prompt Evans to look to sell. I noted in another post on here the other day that I don’t believe he’s an evil owner, but he’s certainly proven a bad one with the club in decline since his arrival. Against that backdrop it’s not hard to see why some might feel that action is needed That said I agree with the comment re now not being the time, and the protest will almost certainly wind up being a few old men shouting at no one inparticular (if it even materialises at all) | |

Possibly yes, I don't believe this season is over yet as the play offs are still in reach. I don't believe we'll win the play offs if we get there but maybe once we're confirmed in this league is a better idea in the long run. | |

That's a good point actually, who is actually doing this or is it going to come to nothing? Edit: Just seen the twitter thread reply after I wrote this [Post edited 13 Feb 2020 14:34]

Hmm. Blackpool, Charlton et al were vastly different cases in ownership to what we have. Maybe I am naieve or should be expecting more, but I still believe Evans is just a bit of a clueless wally. | |

I think it's the latter. In a tribute to Life of Brian, this looks like another Evan Out group, which makes it even more difficult to take seriously. I'm sure Donovan Blake has got an invite though. | |

Agreed but wasn’t the point I was making - just highlighting that supporters don’t need a solution or buyer, the point is to put pressure on and try and force a change. Admittedly probably opened myself up to that counter point but just used them as the first and most obvious examples that sprung to mind | |

Evans is sh1t. Lambert is sh1t. We're sh1t. Evans has had over a decade of chances and a fairly easy ride from us. Enough is enough really. | |

Oooh, there's a protest Saturday! on 14:38 - Feb 13 with 7077 views | hatch | We’ll be a laughing stock. Look at Pompey, Cov and Sunderland who have all been in the higher echelons and sufferer in the lower leagues. They’ve all protested too in the past but not after half a season in League One. I do think the expectation levels of our fans need to be managed. Where’s the pre season poll which predicted our final position? I think a good number didn’t have us to reach the play offs. Zero pragmatism. | | | |

Obviously understand people's frustrations, but as ME has said himself, there have been offers made for us which he thought would have been worse for the long-term future of our Club. Even if he is a bit of a wally football-wise, I'd still trust him on that. Pointing something out to him that he's probably acutely aware of isn't going to change much, imo. But maybe good for fans to have a little vent. | |

Though I would guess that the anti-Jim protests would have influenced Evans in his decision to remove him. Same with not giving Mick a new contract - even Evans must have realised the fans didn't want that. An anti-Evans protest is pointless as he will only sell when he received an acceptable offer. An anti-Lambert protest, if it continued for a few games, might get Evans to look at the small print in that ridiculous contract he gave Lambert. But given Evans's record of appointing managers, would a newcomer do better, especially as Town has been becoming an increasingly unattractive club to manage. | |

There are far worse owners around who chop and change managers, bring in their own players etc. Evans, had made a number of bad choices and tried to do the off field stuff on the cheap, he's got no plan just words for the fans and im not sure he has any idea how to implement that at a football club. I wouldn't criticise the amount of money he's put in as it's clearly all he wants to put in which is fair enough, it's his money. But not reinvesting fees received has been a problem and he hasn't employed the right people in the football positions and the running of the club. | | | |
