CANARYKING 707 Posted March 22, 2017 Just spent a pleasant hour reading some of their posts. Some estimate they will be lucky to have 7,000 season tickets next season, that''s in the Champs, goodness knows what it would be in League One. If you''ve got some spare time and our game for a laugh you know where to go ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Move Klose 303 Posted March 22, 2017 It might do them a favour to get relegated to league one like it did us. A chance to build from scratch. So personally I''m happy to see them mid table championship mediocrity. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How can they build from scratch with that debt?They are destined to fold without Evans yet they are stupid enough to want him out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chesney Hawkes 0 Posted March 22, 2017 I could enjoy them finishing 20th in the Championship for the next ten years while their players leave, fans walk away and the running costs stay depressingly high.Maybe a Carling Cup quarter final every so often to keep them believing it might get better.

I''ve never quite worked out how it works, but they believe it. Something to do with how Evans sets it against his other businesses or something, I don''t know. But the end product according to the scum, is they aren''t in debt to the tune of £80M or whatever it is....................Planet Portaloo in my book.

Agreed, if i can''t sleep at night, will have a look on TWTD and always makes me smile and feel good about what we have. Interesting that iic they can get to 10,000 season tickets it will be success.

A clue might have been that I have bought the denbt of the then Norwich Union for a suggested fee of 36 -£8m, but I am going to charge you inteeston the original full amount.At that point the farmhand should have been screaming from the rooftops ... why ? But no, fired up by their own delusions of expectations Evans was there solely to restore them to their rightful place at the top table.Their self pitying whining has only recently come about because of their now all to obvious plight. Whereas prior to this there was this absurd guff about Evans being an ''hinvestor''. Though someone who transfers your training ground to an offshore account and passes transfer fees to another part of his group would hardly fall into my consideration as an investor.The failure to achieve Cat 1 acadamy status by 0,00001% (or something) was more absolute nonsense. Evans commitment to this should have been seen in the light of the funds needed for the next ''go'' were to be raised by the dimwits sponsoring it themselves !There is a thought (as above) that relegation might be theirmuch needed salvation, though only if it brings about a complete regime change as it di with us I would suggest. But I cannot see Evans walking away whilst he still can wring a few more quid out of the paupers.But, and this is a big but.. don''t expect it all to be plain sailing from here on in. There will be mutterings at street corners, angry scowls on the ''terraces'' and undoubtely some mother will see her prized bedsheet being waved excitely by a few of the hotheads Evins must goo innita song of hope for our neighboursdo join in Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hogesar 10,761 Posted March 24, 2017 Look, the guy that runs TWTD is even making up rubbish on a thread about the appointment of OUR sporting director which I notice is already into it''s second page worth of responses.Ipswich have been so irrelevant to us for the past 8 years or so and I don''t see that changing in the near future.We are significantly better run than Ipswich, don''t owe one guy 80 odd million, have a squad with significant value, a stadium that isn''t falling down, 22k season ticket holders and a waiting list to boot.Whilst that drab, depressing Portaloo Road see''s 10k fans at best and those 10k are hardly supportive. The last few time''s we''ve been to that scummy stadium i''ve barely heard a peep from their ''fans''. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And if Evans is supposedly putting money in, or pumping it in as the farm hands would describe it, how come they never have a pot to pi ss in, the ground has weeds growing out of the buildings, the youth set up is almost non existant ?
