Woodman 92 Posted January 30, 2019 I know it's nothing to do with us, but an interesting read. Made me realise how much we are two clubs going in opposite directions. Warning - its a long interview/read. https://www.eadt.co.uk/sport/ipswich-town-owner-marcus-evans-gives-first-big-interview-1-5870792 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Feedthewolf 4,789 Posted January 30, 2019 I hope the 'original' interview with Nigel Pickover is still on here. Surely worth a bump if so... 😄 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Feedthewolf 4,789 Posted January 30, 2019 BUMP! https://www.ipswichstar.co.uk/sport/ipswich-town/how-i-met-town-s-mystery-magnate-marcus-1-163661 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BobLoz3 486 Posted January 30, 2019 Had a look at the interview... First thing I see (other than the huge picture of this once elusive and reclusive ticket seller) is this caption- Marcus Evans' interview with chief football writer Stuart Watson is his first face-to-face intervuew with an independent media organisation. Picture: LAURA MACLEOD Uneducated farmhands at EADT can't even flipping spell! 🤪 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kirku 1,331 Posted January 30, 2019 Thanks, Feedthewolf - much appreciated. This response from the recent interview says it all really: Quote But sit down and think about you writing out a cheque for £10million quid on something that has got the level of certainty this particular business has. People might say ‘well you shouldn’t own a football club then’. Well I do at the moment and nobody has come along and offered something that is better for Ipswich. We are where we are.

BobLoz3 486 Posted January 30, 2019 OH MY GOD! How have I not EVER seen either the original 2008 interview or the parody??! Absolute genius. The actual Nigel Pickover piece is the most powerful case of accidental Partridge I think I've ever read 😂 Crikey. Ipswich really are such fun to giggle at.

I keep a copy to re read everytime i feel a bit down. It never fails to lift the spirits. Laugh, my socks never dried😭👍 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
