Icecream Snow 761 Posted January 24, 2021 I can't work out if the club response is a "Vote of Confidence" or Marcus Evans telling the newspaper that they don't get to decide what he does. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mason 47 1,376 Posted January 24, 2021 With ongoing covid issues & the incoming wage cap it'd take quite a chunk to pay up that huge contract for a club in their position. For me they're right on the precipice. Even if they changed manager now, it would have to be a Norwich-era Lambert level appointment to sneak them back up. Fail to do that however and I would say they've officially set down roots in their new home. Oh no How awful. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Icecream Snow 761 Posted January 24, 2021 Found an interesting article from when Evans bought the club in 2008 https://www.theguardian.com/football/2008/jan/09/ipswichtown.championship#comment-112615 The problem with investors trying to run a club as a business venture is that when it starts going wrong they just want to cuts costs and minimise losses.

Cut from the same shabby cloth as Ashley, at least Ashley claims to be a fan, it’s very hard not to revel in all this. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fascinating read, it shows the tightrope that mid-sized clubs walk when it comes to investment. In many ways of the clubs mentioned Coventry have had it worse being forced to play 22 miles away, Derby look like they have more bad news to come although Leicester have struck gold.

Felixfan 53 Posted January 25, 2021 What manager would want to go there. The fans are toxic hounding out manager after manager. They still cannot accept where they are in the football hierarchy and once they do that the rebuilding can begin. ( not too soon I hope). 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I mean the situation currently is funny, especially as Lambert is involved, but I do feel a bit sorry for them. The rivalry is obviously much better when we are competing on a similar level, the Play-Off Semi Finals recently and the Milk Cup semi in the past are proof enough of that. If they continue to struggle, and remain stuck in the lower leagues for years it will get boring. Then when/if the wheel turns, it will be far much more fun for them than for us. If they get stuck permanently, who becomes our rival then? Spurs? West Ham? Leicester? None of them will care about us, and rightly so. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Opinions seem to be divided between those of us who suffered from 1975 to 1985 and the younger ones who have rarely known anything other than Norwich superiority. I suffered and I'd like them to stay where they are. 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Never! I will never tire of seeing them suffer . Let them rot . Hope they stay there for ever , slumping deeper into the rancid cess pool that is Ipswich. Bung them in the conference .
