Feedthewolf 4,866 Posted May 10, 2021 They've really ripped the guts out of that squad over the past few days. Chambers, Skuse, Sears, Judge, Ward, Huws all off... along with their player of the year Wilson. Five others have been given one-year extensions so will be out of contract again next summer, and they're trying to keep hold of Edwards but he's interesting other clubs. This is going to be an absolutely massive summer for Cook and the new owners; success is expected, demanded and required next season, but they're hardly going to be given enough money to buy their way out of the division. There is very little margin for error, and the financial consequences of not getting up next season could be catastrophic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mason 47 1,395 Posted May 10, 2021 Love the way Project Candid Chambo took off on here. The below is a personal favourite 😊 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Christoph Stiepermann 1,151 Posted May 17, 2021 (edited) Funny comment from an Ipswich fan on The Athletic talking about MM. I think this comment pretty much sums up whats wrong with their attitude down there and why they'll never be able to move forward. Basically they are a wonderful, massive club and MM didn't pretend to gush over it like they wanted and feed their delusion. "His famous directness was always directed at the fans never even a hint of a word spoken against the owner. Ipswich fans are (like all fans) proud of their traditions, history and culture but Mccarthy never acknowledged that. Always the outsider, whom we should be grateful to have, and never a man proud to be part of the clubs history."

Any organisation focusing on the past achieves bugg3r all. Mick knew that and didn’t cover the walls with pics of Kevin Beatie. I saw that Chambo referred to us as “that lot up the road” . I fear that we will haunt him for ever more . Edited May 19, 2021 by Graham Paddons Beard Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If they spend 40m , with a turnover of £ 27.50 I would imagine the EFL would have a look at the FFP side of things? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Graham Paddons Beard 2,448 Posted October 3, 2021 (edited) Thought I would check out the Fortunes of our old friend Capt Fistpump. I am happy to report that absolutely nothing has changed for him. Yesterday he and several ex Binner chums , now plying their trade at Colchester United , lost at home to Salford . Currently Col Utd sit 18th in League Division 4 . Friends , I honestly think a statue just outside the Queen of Iceni is in order . Edited October 3, 2021 by Graham Paddons Beard 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
