King Klose 0 Posted June 2, 2015 Like the gift that keeps on giving. Paul Anderson has said Mings and Bishop should consider moving..."Out-of-contract Blues midfielder Paul Anderson says Town youngsters Tyrone Mings and Teddy Bishop should seriously consider any Premier League offers which come their way over the summer as they may not get the opportunity to join a top flight club again.""If they think moving is right, do it because you might never get in that position again,” Anderson told BBC Radio Suffolk.Brilliant. Then just check out the comments. 1p5wich fans going mental at these comments, absolutely hilarious.But it doesn''t stop there. Another article saying Murphy is flattered by interest from other clubs. Calling Ipswich "Ipswich" as opposed to "we", with their fans reading into this. Then one tool said they should only let him go for £5 million. £5 million!! Yet again, delusion of the highest level. £5 million for a 32 year journeyman donkey who''s had 1 half decent season. Laughable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ricardo 7,385 Posted June 2, 2015 Murphy is a good player in the Championship but I can''t see a Premier club paying that sort of money for a 32 year old.Mings is their best prospect for a big money deal but selling either player would seriously hamper their prospects for next season.

Crabbycanary3 994 Posted June 2, 2015 Murphy had a very good season, but didn''t look like scoring against us at all, which shows that if you get your tactics right, he can be sussed out comfortablyTWTD - The gift that keeps on givingI think that TWTD invented the phrase ''Clutching at straws'' Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Branston Pickle 3,656 Posted June 2, 2015 It''s odd, Murphy looked some distance from scoring in all 4 games against us - barring one header, I think. Strange that he got, what 25 or something against the rest. It is also odd (and extremely funny) that the binners were going on about how CamJam wasn''t all that before the s-f - where he set up one, scored one, and then went on to score in the final.

Buh 0 Posted June 2, 2015 It''s all the funnier because they are so blind to what''s comingTheir club going out of business and that history they cling to becoming nothing more than a cautionary tale.Their club reminds me of the last days of woolworths. They don''t realise how fuc4ed they are, it''s hilarious.Get the jelly and ice cream ready. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And that pot of Premiership gold just keeps getting further and further away.Only so long Evans will keep piling money in.I would say he is asset stripping, but I don''t think they actually own anything.

Buh 0 Posted June 2, 2015 You cannot maintain what they are doing, as a business modelIt''s amazing it''s lasted this longThis season, how close they got, that''s the accumulation of, what, 15 years of work?? They peaked, they failed.The only way is down, like morty says it is inevitable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just Dan 10 Posted June 3, 2015 I think Morty and Buh are right, and I am stunned that the vast majority of their fans still can''t see the wood for the trees.They don''t own anything. They have been late in meeting payments to agents as reported as recently as December 2013 (not sure if Mr Evans would have been late in getting the interest on his loans to ITFC though). Their attendances are slowly rising, but the are still a fair way off averaging 20,000 per week.And the best players that they have fall into three catagories:1. Too old - Murphy2. Too injury prone - McGoldrick (very good player though)3. Not really that good - Mings and BishopApart from that, it all looks good for them! Perhaps one day they will wake up, maybe it''ll be too late. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But the delusion of some of them is cringeworthy. They are in the cack, just admit it, for goodness sake.I know you have to have hope, and a certain amount of belief that things are going to come good, but, and this isn''t anti Ipswich bias talking, I really can''t see a light at the end of the tunnel for them.I couldn''t find a newer article, but this illustrates just how dire the situation is for most long stayers in the Championship.http://www.theguardian.com/football/2014/may/22/club-by-club-guide-championship-finances-2012-2013 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZLF 274 Posted June 3, 2015 That article also highlights why bouncing back was soooo key.I dont profess to following their activities too closely. However £90m debt is only an issue if evans calls his debts in or decides to leave. they are 100% dependent on him and what i dont know, unlike our owners, is how committed to the club he is. It seems inconceivable that the debts will be gone in under a decade and likely to expand. As others have said it is not sustainable without prem seasons.We have a sustainable model with assets and cash having repaid debts due to great management plans. Long may that continue Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
