  1. The whole purpose of ffp rules are to entrench the status quo. The problem though is that if all of the clubs that got promoted went at the throwing money at it problem then they couldn't all succeed and the ones that failed and got relegated could be in serious danger of going into administration, so even though a few may have owners willing and able to suck up the loses, even those without would have to try and outspend the rivals. The knock on of that would also be driving up the prices of (relatively) mediocre players so that even going down into the championship the teams would feel the need to gamble in order to even try and compete to the playoffs without even having the chance to stay in the rich lists... Much like democracy, FFP is the worst approach to protecting clubs from themselves, other than all of the other ones that have been tried (other than a salary cap but that's never going to happen)
  2. Wow, who would have guessed we would be providing the most players to Scotland (joint with Hearts I know)
  3. Yes, but, it also seems to be a growing trend with a lot of clubs, but I seem more aware of it with Ipswich. Perhaps it's just because of who we are so we are more aware of their tin pot attempts at playing ultras, but, seeing them with their cringe marching behind the flag and blue flares antics is not putting the fan base as a whole in a good light...
  4. It's amazing how little attention managers pay to the games when there's a contentious decision that goes in their favour...
  5. Whilst it is radically different now and much more elite player production, they should still have to clean boots and do general dogs body tasks to retain humility until they have actually made it
  6. https://www.soccerstats.com/table.asp?league=england2&tid=10 This is quite an interesting analysis of it as well which works out the average PPG of the opponents when they are playing home or away and again, we have a markedly easier run in than Hull without taking into account how far our averages are taken down by the early season form when we were missing gunn, Barnes and sarge....
  7. Oddly enough that's pretty much what I see happening. A faltering Southampton side being beaten in the final...
  8. Having spent some tim elooking at the run in I am increasingly confident that we will get 6th. Our run in should be at least 1 point better than Hull's, but conversly, Leeds have a good run in as well, but Southampton possibly have the most difficult of the top 10, which means that it would be us to beat the binners over 2 legs in the playoffs... Whilst I do get people saying how great it would be to beat them at Wembley, to crush their dreams in front of a partisan crowd at Poorman would be very satisfying...
  9. Idah needed a loan, both for him and for us, his development has been severely stunted by being too good to let go, but not quite good enough to start. As many pointed out, SVH has been most effective as the front man, i.e. Sargent's role, he is not suited to the role Barnes fills. If he came on with instructions to fill a Barnes sized hole he will look a bit lost and pointless, especially in a league and team he isn't up to speed with... I'm not saying he's a good signing, but then again there is no way he can be judged on his performance today and the other few minutes he's had so far
  10. Just playing devil's advocate, but, just because it was a diesel doesn't preclude either being a hybrid. I drive a diesel mhev myself and you wouldn't know it was a hybrid (even when looking at the fuel economy, bloody thing drinks the stuff)
  11. It was for a bit of retaliation as well, bremner getting a flying kick to the face didn't even warrant a free kick!
