I saw a thread on a mate's FB the other day - he used to play for Ipswich as a youngster up to the age of 16 or 17, I think - and he was chatting with other players from his team.
They were all saying that Town used to be a real family club, very friendly, very welcoming etc. Now, Lee O'Neill (who would've been in their team) never texts back any more now that he's got his new job, and how when one of the guys whose son plays for them up the road, came for a game against Ipswich, none of the ITFC staff would say hello to him or even acknowledge he was there even though they were his coaches for years.
It's a weird thing, that a culture should change so much at a club and must be a part of why we're not doing as well nowadays, but I don't think that can be down to Lambert, and given Evans is fairly hands-off, it surely isn't on his direction that it's happening either? |  | | |  |

I think maybe you're right. But I also kind feel like if there are people who've been there for 10, 20 years, always doing things a certain way, and then a new boss comes in but never shows up to the office... there's got to be something going on within that workforce to make the change as well | | | |

There aren’t many long serving staff left now. | |

There are a number of our ex-players sons on the books at Norwich because they simply think our set up is so sub standard they wouldn't get a chance starting at Ipswich. That's a change we should really be worried about, all Evans and O'Neill do is tell the support what they think they want to hear, they do the exact opposite and our youth system is poor which is one of the reasons our first team is now poor.
The whole club is a mess. They told the national media the supporters started a fire at the training ground yesterday to make us look like the bad guys, because poor Marcus is doing his best we just don't understand. |  |

Well in spite of everything, he does still fund the club. We could end up the way of some other clubs when the tap runs dry.
It would be nice if we could go back to when there were several independent wealthy business men were on the board that could be responsible for different areas of the club, not all just puppets of M/E. I guess ego's these days get in the way of all that. |  | | |

We also fund the club. Supporters have paid for the bulk of the clubs success over the years and I'd say when supporters were the main income, it was a much more successful club then anytime Evans meagre investments and leadership have seen.
Sheepshanks and co. were also supporters. Evans is not. | |

I am not saying that the supporters don't fund the club, just that in itself is not enough. What do we want? a team that plays well and competes, well that costs more than your season ticket. It's very easy to act like we know everything that is going on at the club and how to run a multi million pound business, but the reality is far from that these days especially being compounded by Covid 19. Would I like to be in his shoes no, I am lucky I disposed of my business way before covid struck and I know what the implications may have been if I was still the owner, so we do need to get some perspective here it was already a hard job succeeding before then and now it's even worse.
I wonder how you would feel if you were constantly being asked to increase every transfer window for more money.
We look to be in the last chance saloon here now and will it turn? we don't know but to keep following the same failed path is wrong on so many counts, change needs to happen very soon, but don't bet on it. | | | |

Hands off, 2 days a week isn't it for Evans?
We really need the right people in the right jobs pushing the club forward. If Evans can't give the club that time, then he needs to get in someone who can and let them run it and be in the position to make changes.
There's no way he's getting anything back money wise now with the way the club is being run, so what's the point, he's not a die hard fan. |  | | |

How many of these owners are? do you think the Americans that own Man U or Liverpool are? I am sure Evans is more of a supporter than you think, he now has a vested interest, whereas us 'true supporters' can just walk away and follow Liverpool et al. | | | |

Ed Woodward is running Man United every day. Peter Moore is for Liverpool.
They have input but they have people running the club day to day.
We have an owner who gives us 2 days a week from bits that have been in the press. | | | |

Evans cannot be bothered and when that sort of attitude is obvious at the top of any organisation it filters down through all levels.
Don’t forget he withdrew the club from community activities for a while not that long ago, which tells you all you need to know about his attitude! |  | | |

Marcus Evans is responsible. Simple as. He's ripped the heart and soul out of this club. |  | | |
