They’ve been doing that for the entire Evans regime!

I'll go further than that. I'm going to occasionally sigh quite dramatically.

This is why nothing changes at our club because it’s easier to let things go. Be honest, are we a side that is going places? We struggle to create chances, struggle to score goals and we’ve got the 21st worst stats in the final third in L1, not really reflective of a side that’s 5th and this will catch up with this us ultimately. Let’s not forget, how we finished last season on top of our our abysmal form against top 8 sides. PL needs to go and our owner that continues to invest the bare minimum and genuinely lacks ambition for our club can follow PL out the door. We simple can’t move forward and things won’t change while these two remain.

ME needs to change his approach completely. This isn't something he’s shown he’s capable of over the last 13 years. I honestly, feel we’re stuck in this rut because of him. We need someone that invests in us both financially and emotionally. So for me, we need someone with fresh ideas and a genuine plan to get us going again as a club. That won’t happen on ME’s watch.

Why do we need a benefactor? If we had a small dedicated body of fans, we could spear head supporting this club financially ourselves. We wouldn’t have the funds to buy out Evans but we could raise the cash to keep the club afloat after he’s gone, after all, there are tens of thousands of us.

Given the plight of clubs nation wide, the time is coming where football clubs should cease looking to the 1% and get back to being community run enterprises. Community will be a new mega trend in the wake of COVID and football should take full advantage of that. Given where our clubs at, why shouldn’t we put some meaningful action in place starting here on TWTD?

It isn’t the ongoing costs that are the problem particularly if we’re still in League One. The issue is raising a capital sum to buy Evans out. How much would he be prepared to sell the club for?

Whilst accepting that this figure may reduce, Evans was putting in around £6m of his own/his companies money. On that scale, and assuming we have 15,000 regular fans we would need every supporter to out in £400, this from supporters who moan about season tickets going up by 5%. And that’s every season.

Not really likely is it, no matter how much of a romantic ideal it might seem

BTW I assume you would be one of those small dedicated body of fans - how long before you got fed up of the abuse you would get from people who don’t know what goes on behind the scenes of a football club.

I think that's quite a clever banner actually. Might wake a few people up.

Trust the process. Trust Phil.

This is why we are screwed as a club, we don't do proper protests, we're angry for a day or two and then we just accept it and move on and lap up any pathetic crumb they thrown at us and nothing changes and the decline continues. We must not let it happen now, doing nothing is not going to address the massive fundamental problems at the club.

At the end of the day some need to choose if they are going to be enablers of the ongoing decline of our club and fuel it or they are going to stand up and be counted and say to the club hierarchy no more. If you love the club show it, don't sit back and watch it burn to the ground doing nothing and then complain later having enabled it.

Doesn’t get involved in mud slinging?! Did you not read his statement this week. If that wasn’t slinging mud at the fans I don’t know what is.

How many Town fans are there? We number in the tens of thousands at least. I said in another thread if 30,000 committed a £15 DD every month to the club, that’s the annual operating cost covered. It’s simplistic but I’d for go that sum to take the club out of the hands of an 87.5% majority shareholder.

The biggest challenge is removing Evans. If there is a sustained protest to force his hand, there has to be a series of plans in place to offer him out (in the business sense) or a concerted effort to attack him financially to force him out. Either way, it needs co-ordination with a far reaching strategy and plan in place. Anything less is only scratching the service to show discontent. As a fan base, we’re simply not equipped or prepared for this kind of change at the moment but there’s no reason we can’t start preparing. Getting a group together who can dedicate time and reaching out to Pompey would be a start.

Typical little old Ipswich supporters again, all words no action. If this would have been other clubs they wouldn't buy the current situation. But we're easily bought as a fanbase and we are not able to protest properly or keep or resolve or determination up. Now is not the time for apathy, it's time for sustained action.

So you expect football fans to put in the same amount of money ME has put the last few years and what happens when changes, most fans complain now about costs.

Good intentions butter no parsnips, to mix a metaphor or two. He's completely incompetent at running a football club. How can anyone with a grain of nous state that our recent poor form is down to injuries, whilst simultaneously making it clear that he won't be replacing the fitness coach who's upped sticks to Scotland after falling out with PL? Just bizarre.

The problems would soon start once there's a few things to disagree on.

In house arguments, threats to withdraw funding...

The likes of ME can afford to take a hit here and there, but a small scale enterprise heavily reliant on so much compliancy would soon fall apart. Too many variables.
