It will all be in the initial contract what happens to them when he leaves and I imagine it will be - your decision (ie to a new club) you give them up with no compensation, our decision and we pay you out. @Whitesince63 - I do agree that it’ll be nothing like that value, it was just the most public amount that puts a value on a shareholding. I think the value or at least the mechanism for valuing them should we end up buying him out will have been written into the contract. Anyway, enough of the financey stuff. Seems it’s done. Big big decisions for SB and team to make (especially with no CEO around!). It was the right call though, it couldn’t carry on.

September 16, 20241 yr Not read the thread but folk keep mentioning shares. He will have signed an agreement on those that he has to sell them back to the club at market value when he leaves. Its a non-story.

The shares will be valued at whatever they’re quoted at on the market when they’re sold and as with most if not all company share schemes when you leave the company you are required to sell them back to the company at current market value. Can’t see it being any different with IE and it certainly won’t be any barrier to him leaving so as Spider says it’s really a non issue.

The £100k he owes the club a bigger problem. If he resigns he waives any right to a pay off and is liable for that debt. He’ll be looking to come to an agreement. But if the club want him to stay (possible) he’s in a tricky spot
September 16, 20241 yr The contract will cover matters like payment of notice etc. Te shares will be a contractual process also, they usually have a process for a 'good leaver' and a 'bad leaver' situation. Even the loan will have terms written in. Unless one side plays hardball it's very easily dealt with. I guess a lot depends on if he's returned to building up fresh debts. He looked broken the past couple of games ... since Oxford really. He can't go on.
September 16, 20241 yr Is this "debt" real or rumour? Moreover, if it's real then he'd be paying it down gradually, from his salary, surely? And if he has these shares, then they would be included in repaying any debt back.
September 16, 20241 yr Sad that it’s come to this and that it’s ending on a sour note. Always had a feeling it would end badly mind. I still love the man personally. Just hope things end soon before the relationship between Evatt and the fans gets worse. I think he’ll get a Championship gig if he sits out for a bit. Obviously times have changed, he was a much bigger name with experience of working with England and it was before my time, but Phil Neal got a job in the Prem off the back of a parallel record here. I’ll accept it’s probably a completely different scenario. There’s just no coming back from last season’s failure and his time has run its course. He’s had a good run in modern day terms. And while he may have failed in many fans’ eyes, you can’t deny his win record. He needs a break and I think his enthusiasm for the game and managing has been taken away in the last year or so. A reset and fresh start elsewhere, and I see no reason why he can’t succeed elsewhere, higher up the pyramid. Lessons must be learnt though.

The club cannot ignore that and must reach a settlement.
September 16, 20241 yr Edit: Posted too soon. Can't disagree with any of this. He just looks/sounds like a broken man and it's just a shame at this point. I still want him to succeed as he is quite a likeable manager. When times are tough though, you go back to basics and I don't feel like he has that in his locker.

September 16, 20241 yr What a mess we've tangled ourselves up in with Evatt having shares in the club and debts owed to the club. A manager should be an employee of the club, with no other financial complications.

September 16, 20241 yr If anyone thinks IE having some worthless shares in the club would be a barrier to him being sacked they are on cloud cuckoo land.

Aye, done a great job in getting us back on an upward trajectory and we had the Wembley win and demonstrably improved each season But also demonstrated that he doesn't have the big game mentality and he believes in his approach so much he's at a loss as to what to do in order for it to take us to the next level He was then backed, tried something different in terms of formation and personnel and it's made us worse So there's nowhere else to go really from here because you'd need a big overhaul in training this week in terms of approach and get the players onboard and I don't think that's happening He's a beaten man who wouldn't have any belief in anything he tried to do differently

September 16, 20241 yr would not want Lowe coming in with him........Will Crainey and Atherton also be potted??
