Let’s just ignore all the wages saved from the players that have also left in this period then shall we? How much has he spent on the academy? I know it wasn’t enough for category 1. Plus we got 750k for one of our academy prospects didn’t we? That pays for the academy for a while. If you refuse to see that Evans hasn’t ‘invested the Mings money’ as he said he would, I can’t help you. OPEN YOUR EYES. | |

Free agent wasn’t he? The wages saved from tabby etc replace his wages you’d think. | |

Unless you are a multimillionare, have experience of running a football club, would know exactly who you'd replace MM with, you should really never say anything about the club ever again. [Post edited 11 Jan 2018 23:52]

Yes, a football forum dedicated to a football club seems a funny place to voice complaint about said football club. It's the same with politics, who the hell do people think they are to be criticising an MP having not even been an elected head of state themselves? | | | |
I know hindsight’s a wonderful thing but.. on 00:29 - Jan 12 with 4569 views | Footballpete | The truth is that football has become a complete joke. Our owner keeps us afloat to the tune of £6 million and it isn't enough to make us compete at the top of the second tier. That is ridiculous. £6 million for drab football, a half empty stadium in need of a facelift and a club with nowhere to turn. It's not fun, and I can't really blame Evans or McCarthy. The entire sport has been ruined by obscene money controlled by dubious individuals. It's sad, and it goes much deeper than ITFC. | |

really ? The same academy that sent the begging bowl round to keep it afloat ? The one that has not produced a decent keeper with first team appearances in over a decade. Stop kidding yourself | | | |

Morning Benters We did say in January of the playoff season that was the time to invest didn’t we. One of the few things we agreed on back then was Evans needed to back the manager whilst it was going good | |

Morning Rommy. Yep Jan 2015 was the time to go for it so to speak,and sadly we didnt really did we. A little bit more investment we could have been in the Prem for a season or two. A packed PR most home home games (i know Beardy would rather 12k being there) and a beautiful clean looking stadium. Sadly the powers to be didnt take the chance.For some reason we lack ambition,and we all should be pleased that we have been in the Championship for 16 seasons (Guthy loves it). Many on here have ripped the sh1t out of me and the TGM with our 'look at Derby and Brighton' But they seem to be doing alright now! Sad times mate. | | | |

Indeed we didn’t go for it. A few million on a top class striker and an attacking midfielder and we might have gone up that year. Instead it was sears and a loanee or two. Whilst it’s working for Brighton, we could equally have failed to spend wisely and do a QPR who are in a fight to stay afloat now. If they drop to league 1, with that 50m fine they’ve got coming, they’re fooked. So at least we haven’t got that I suppose. Though I fear we will go down after mick leaves whilst Evans continues to invest pennies. | |

QPR went over the top though Rommy and most of us were not saying spend stupid amounts of cash but improve the squad incrementaly each season and sustainably. It didn't happen and now whats the prognosis for the Town ? The trouble with football is that the economic rules that apply to good governance of a company get thrown out of the window when it comes to football. I really wish it didn't but it does and you either play the same , or as close as possible , or accept the fact that you're going nowhere. This isn't helped by the ruling bodies who have let money run riot and didn't effectively implement FFP, which was predictable. Chuff knows where this leaves us. | | | |

So in your opening thread you moan about the lack of spending. Then you are glad we didnt as it might have gone wrong! Its the lack of trying that does my nut in,its boring just trudging along. | | | |

Oh no I’m not saying that at all! I’m just saying, at least that’s the only reason that not spending any cash has been a good thing. | |

All I wish for Brogs is to see us have a viable chance of promotion. A few million here and there to keep us competitive and give us a chance. Or even if we sell our best players, to replace them with players of the same ilk. Not selling our most important player and then replacing him with Leon Best. | |

I remember coming out of Griffin Park on boxing day 2014 genuinely thinking we might go up, having gone top very briefly. A few weeks later MM said the target was playoffs, my heart sank then as I knew it ultimately meant we were happy to participate. | |

Fair enough. Sadly though not spending money has finally caught us up,see last season the worst finish in 58 years,now this season we are heading in the wrong direction and out of the FA Cup. I really think tomorrow we are going to see some unrest amongst the town fans if it is a poor performance,i now loads who are going and they usually stick to the London games. Sad times. | | | |

Leon fkn Best. Should have saved the money and played without a striker for the season. Part of that sentance is true. | | | |

No. He's really fed up. He has done about 5 games but didn't renew and did say that he'd get a half season ST at Christmas , but didn't. | | | |
