I think Ipswich fans are probably experiencing similar frustrations to the loan market that we endured back in 2008/09 season. I am not against loaning players at all. If done correctly it can provide quality in a position that you couldn''t otherwise afford (Naughton last year for us) or it can give you vital impetus (again like it did for us in the 2003/04 promotion year). However I think the system becomes a negative when you just end up with a constant revolving door of players meaning that you never actually build a settled side and make progress as a club. That is why I personally think Jewell''s position is untenable even if he starts picking up the odd result. You have to look at the bigger picture. He promised to deliver a young, hungry and settled squad. He is no closer to achieving that 18 months on from taking the job. The fact he has resorted to signing 2 players above the age of 30 on loan shows he will also probably never achieve that.
