CirclePoint 201 Posted March 7, 2019 (edited) Too much talking. He’s been captain of the good ship Ip5hit for five months and has produced nothing but sound bites. The only reason he’s still their is by default. I’m sure Evans is tired of hitting the eject button. Out of the kindness of my heart I’d say God help them. But God (however you wish to define or not define God) has no chance of getting through to those who are legends in their own self-absorbed mind (the gap).

splendidrush 700 Posted March 7, 2019 I see nothing in this that changes anything. If the U-23s, who are top of the League are any good, why's he not playing them? There's a mass exodus at the end of the season regardless of what Lambert says. Next season's budget will mean huge cuts all over the place, so the idea that they can bring in quality to 'help ' the youngsters doesn't stand up. Meanwhile, the deluded masses are hanging on his every word in the vain hope of returning to their glorious past.... this will not end well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Michael Starr 519 Posted March 7, 2019 So wait, this brilliant new idea that Lambert has which will revolutionise the club is to get rid of the senior players (high earners) and play youngsters in league one? Because Evans can’t keep wasting money as it’s “not right”. It’s not right that they buy players from Munich and Dortmund when youngsters are there already. This is Lamberts revolution that he’s asking people to buy into? Does he also spy on opponents? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wilson 62 Posted March 7, 2019 I’m a little more concerned, it’s more sinister than just losing the plot. He’s gone and got himself a god complex with all this ‘cleansing’ talk. ”If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” 1 John 1:9 I seriously think we may find him marching the first team down to Nacton to wash away their sins in the waters of the Orwell.

splendidrush 700 Posted March 7, 2019 He'll be going in to politics next, how to say absolutely nothing and make it last 20 minutes... could be the title of a book. As long as he recognizes all the 'help' he's been given and how he couldn't ask for anything more from the publishers as they've been brilliant, in the acknowledgements. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Meanwhile, the deluded masses are hanging on his every word in the vain hope of returning to their glorious past.... this will not end well. Unless there is a massive sea change in Evans approach to the club then we are nowhere near the end. Money generated from player sales needs to stay within the club - not be moved out to a 'holding; company where it can be accessed by other ME owned companies under the nonsense that pooled with other monies it attracts a better rate of interest. Without a decent coaching set up backed by a well funded scouting network the club will not source and develop players. Too many have left poorman road as 'rejects' only to thrive elsewhere. The ground needs money spent on it annually, as does the pitch. Both show signs of years of neglect. Evidence of this lack of concern can be seen in the way City have almost taken over huge parts of Suffolk and the town as far as 'kids coaching goes. Evans has run the club into the ground by his constant penny pinching and asset stripping. They are where they are as a result of that, not the appointment of one bad manager, or too many injuries. Until Evans goes Lambert and anyone else will be pi ssing into the wind - because the binners are not being relegated by a few bad results on the last day or even week. They have been sat rock bottom, well adrift for months.It is cony that bottom that has saved them. Open that up and let them into L1 and then see how far they fall.

Imagine our U-23s with Max, Godfrey, Lewis, Todd and Emi playing every week, I'm sure that we'd be further up the table as well. How old do you have to be to get in the 1p5wich side? and if they're not ready now I'm guessing they never will be. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am reliably informed they are taking a different approach to season tickets sold and allocation at town next season Crabby, such is the demand...…... It's a BOGOFF type affair which has gone down well. They are going to allocate seats to season ticket holders starting immediately from the dug outs and working around the ground. 'Laycee-Mae' from the binners ticket office has confirmed the rush has started and they have sold out all the seats behind the subs bench in the first 4 weeks already (away team only - 6 seats sold)………….. 😀 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sonyc 5,525 Posted March 8, 2019 (edited) This is difficult to read, following his scatty train of thought. It has struck me just how different he is to Daniel Farke. DF is thoughtful, economical, measured and insightful. It's as if he has already thought about the questions asked. He is humourous with it very often. It's not a poorly constructed stream of consciousness like this. Surely, how a manager talks sets a tone? I mean what do players make of "cleaning" and "cleansing" taking place? And the Dortmund and Munich comments are meant to be an aside at us are they not? Wasn't it not long ago that he was fishing in European waters for players? Further, what is staggering is the comments section of that clip...only two posters seem to have seen through this stuff with others nailing their colours to the Lambert mast. Amazing.

Amazing. Indeed, but they have nothing else to cling on to. What Lambert neglected to mention was using us an example. He wants to rebuild the club, bring through the academy players etc - well he only has to look up the road to see what can be done with the right infrastructure. Unfortunately he is not the owner and he can only change a certain amount himself - the problems at Ipswich are so deep that any change needs to come from higher up. That is where we have been so fortunate in having decent family and community oriented owners who are not looking to make money from the club - Ipswich have Marcus Evans and that says it all. They have been getting away with it for years with McCarthy in charge - the only reason they had stayed up - and once he went there was only one way it could go. Actually I think they will do ok in League 1, it will suit them, but I will be surprised if they get back in the championship anytime soon....unless there is a change at the top and someone buys out Evans......but that would be easier said than done.

Michael Starr 519 Posted March 8, 2019 His career is hanging in the balance. Ipswich is all he’s got now, and he’s gained a reputation of being a bit of an egomaniac since leaving us. Damaged goods. He has to make it work at Ipswich next season. If they don’t have a good start then that’s it. He’ll jump and will blame everyone but himself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
