hogesar 9,615 Posted February 20, 2021 To be fair they're the sort of club that should be looking for a new owner because they're that desperate and it's hard to see how things get worse for them. However that desperation has every chance of meaning the club falls into the wrong owners and things do get worse. Very glad we have the owners we do.

canarydan23 4,060 Posted February 20, 2021 Can't see it personally. With Evans wanting at least his debt paying plus extras and the stadium not being owned by the club, there are far better value and prospect clubs desperate for a consortium than Ipswich. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ken Hairy 3,759 Posted February 20, 2021 Be amazed if Evans gets £40 million, in effect it would cost the buyers £140 million (including the debt to Evans). The best he can hope for is someone buying them for a nominal fee of a quid and taking on the debt owed to him, just can't see that happening. So I'm calling BS on this happening.

Branston Pickle 3,633 Posted February 20, 2021 The last time their club was sold to a wealthy investor it worked out brilliantly for them, didn’t it. I’m pretty sure there was lots of talk about them becoming ‘established’ back then, it’s just they appear to have chosen L1 rather than the PL! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sgncfc 1,221 Posted February 20, 2021 Seems the suggestion is that ME will accept £40m and one of their Playford Road sites, leaving them one small training ground. ME will supposedly write off his remaining £60m debt. They don't own their ground and have no players worth any money so I'm not sure what the £40m actually buys, other than lots of stupid contracts, including one to Lambert which has 4 years remaining on it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PurpleCanary 5,554 Posted February 20, 2021 Yes, definitely. Or no, probably. If there is a certainy here it is that sooner or later Evans, who is hardly a diehard fan, will want to offload the ownership (he may well have reached that stage some time ago...) and that if he eventually finds someone to take it from him he will have to write off more millions than he would like, were football like any other business.
