The championship trophy used to be the old 1st division trophy used pre Premiership, this was the league winning trophy used back when Ipswich won the league, since 1994 it’s used for the championship, so we’ve picked it up twice......

First Wazzock 863 Posted March 2, 2021 And Tony, the Scottish club Queen's Park have made more appearances in the FA Cup final than Ipswich. And, Royal Engineers have won the cup more times than Ipswich have. The thing is you don't see fans from either club still rabbiting on about it, or getting a star on their shirts. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Beefy is a legend 224 Posted March 2, 2021 (edited) 7 hours ago, sgncfc said: "He's dealing with a lot of stuff at Ipswich" Surely, stuff of his own making? Rubbish academy with no investment; he took over part of their training ground to secure personal loans; sold their better players year after year to reduce trading losses; consistently employed bad managers and sacked the one decent one he accidentally found. Now he's sold out for £17m having invested almost £100m, leaving the new owners with almost no assets, very few decent players and an annual ongoing loss of between £6 and 7m. If that makes him a good owner that could be what's wrong with football in the EFL! I suppose all it means is that the staff get paid on time and the club still exists. That is, after all, better than some clubs. Who knows whether these new owners will safeguard ITFC's ongoing future. Paul Cook may get them out of League One this season, although the playoffs will still be a huge lottery with the likes of Sunderland/Pompey/Charlton/Doncaster likely to be involved, but even if they do go up they have about 20 players out of contract and an enormous task to produce a squad capable of surviving at Championship level. The overall standard of the Championship may not have been as high as usual this year but when you see the squads of sides like Derby, Forest etc struggling that tells you how far Ipswich will need to improve their squad.

Quite why anyone is worried about a trophy that you won 60 years ago is beyond me. If I was you I would be concentrating your attention on why 5 dubious Americans are trying to buy your club. Bear in mind that the financial restrictions that Sheepshanks placed on Evans will come to an end and you will be at the whim of 5 people who have never been to Suffolk in their lives.
