Update from the downtrodden: Warnock is our king!

Recommended Posts

Nobody seems to have started a thread about the bin-dippers since their plucky 0-0 draw at home to Gillingham yesterday. While we were largely outplaying Villa away from home, 22,000 of Suffolk's 'finest' were treated to a toothless display against League One also-rans, being incredibly lucky to escape with a draw.

Their latest fixation is somehow tempting 71-year-old long-ball specialist Neil Warnock out of retirement for a spell in League One: https://www.twtd.co.uk/forum/471849/. To be fair, that'd probably improve their chances of going up more than Mucus Evans letting The Messiah bring in 'a little more help' for the 41 lads he currently has at his disposal.

Their next two games are away to Lincoln and away to Wycombe. Fail to win either of those, and they're likely to be swallowed up by the chasing pack. At least they could compete with Sunderland, Coventry and Portsmouth for the title of 'most irrelevant former Premier League club'. If they win that little mini-league, they might even be able to give themselves another star (if they can afford the embroidery).

Given how they moaned and whinged and bleated about the style of play they had under McCarthy I'm sure they'd be delighted if Warnock pitched up as their manager.

Bizarre ramblings from Lambert after their match yesterday as well.

Good God, I hadn't even seen that interview! Here it is in all its glory for those who haven't seen it:

Stuart Watson gave him a really good grilling here. There's so much awkwardness and weird contradiction in what he says, but I think my personal favourite bit is this little bit of mathematical genius:

"The support is fabulous. Twenty-two thousand is absolutely unbelievable. When I first came in it was 12/13 thousand, so that's nearly seven thousand more."

Makes you wonder if they are that irrelevant why they are used as a yard stick to measure against City ?

Because I take pleasure in watching them fail and realising how much better our club is than theirs. That's what a rivalry is, right?

I was talking about Coventry, Portsmouth and Sunderland who you said were irrelevant former Premier League clubs.

I'm not that fussed about those clubs either way, Tilly. Was purely using them to illustrate the kind of company Ipswich are keeping while we're debt-free in the Premier League. I'm enjoying watching Ipswich fall from grace, and don't much care whether the other three make a recovery or not.

Like watching the impressive Kings Lynn progress this year, it makes for a slight comforter to our battle to see the scum struggle to keep up with the crowd in the top half of league 1. Now, we got a creditable draw against Champions League finalists yesterday and now they are doing their best against Lincoln at 2-2 currently.

Amazing how far apart the two of us are.

If you have a board that openly invites relegation you can hardly say we are succeeding where they are failing. Both are failing in their own ways.

Whatever you say, dear. That defeat at Lincoln has really hit you hard, hasn't it?

Where is Lincoln? Never heard of it. Was there a game there?

I actually hope they keep Lambert for a while. Anyway can they afford to sack him?

 

Lambert won’t walk . No one will offer him a job - he always makes sure he gets his payoff before he goes . He even tried to get his contract paid up with us when he went to Villa (Mcnasty was having none of it mind) . Money drives Lambert 

 

The tenure in Binland looks like classic lambert. He bought them all a beer. Wrote them all a letter. Told them how great the club is. Picked a fight with us (that went well) and the Binners lapped it up. What he didn’t do of course was win games . He took them down with a whimper . Lambert spent money on the wages of carthorses like Collins who was outstanding for 2 games before breaking down again.

Scumberts latest tactic is inferring that all is not well behind the scenes (blame Evans) and that his future is uncertain (blame Evans) . He can’t still use the team as the excuse (Blame Mad Mick)  because apparently 9 of the starting 11 were signed by Scumbert. 
 

In September  after a few 1.0 wins against teams I’ve never heard of he had given the fans their club back . Now they want Colin . 
 

lovely old job.

You seem to be confusing short-term risk for mid-long term sustainability.
Villa have spent £134m (AFAIK) and are still in the drop zone. If Norwich had begged, borrowed and stole £134m and were still in the drop zone, they'd be outrage that we were putting the viability of the club very much at risk.

There's no magic net that's stopping us from being the next Bury FC/Bolton W other than not spending what we do not have.
