Comment | McKenna: After the Seasons We've Had There Was Always Going to Be Speculation
at 09:10:53
Think Chelsea acted yesterday because they were concerned about losing McKenna to Brighton. That would have been a slight upward step, but in truth Brighton as a mid-table prem side have gone as far as they can. Chelsea would be a huge step up, albeit with a reputation for getting rid of managers. No doubt they have been tapping into Hutchinson on what he is like and training etc. Hoped Liam Rosenior would come to the club as part of McKenna team as an impressive fella and an immediate decent option, but lets hope it does not come to that? |

How can the battle for 6th be more important than the battle for 1st?
Bad enough for us not being on, but if Plymouth win the league it will be a hell of an achievement by them and for Sky to not be there to record and acknowledge that is just plain wrong |

at 17:54:30
Anyone who thinks we were unlucky to lose inhabits a different reality to me. Absolutely no discernible shape or tactics. Chucked the highly average Drinan under a bus by lumping balls forward with no other Town player within 20 yards of him. Subs made a positive impact, but would have been hard not to. We will finish mid-table at best |

Comment | Hurst: A Special Moment to Lead Town Out at Hillsborough
at 10:52:47
Far too early to judge the new manager and early signs are that fans are supportive of change of style. Harsh reality maybe that we are just a bit short of the quality or experience needed to thrive at this level. Bookies rarely wrong and they had us as one of 3 to get relegated before a ball was kicked
Not sure what Marcus Evans plans are, if any. He is a rich man who is entitled to do what he wants with his money and don't see too many people knocking his door down to take over the reins. Personally don't understand a half in approach - either go for it or don't bother and parachute payments are making Championship tougher by the year. Want to remain positive, but will confess to being a little fearful |

Comment | Ipswich Town 2-2 Middlesbrough - Match Report
at 17:35:14
As Chairman of Peterborough Sports in Northern Premier League my opportunities to watch Town are restricted. Today felt like the 2 year stay in Premiership at turn of century with a crowd TOTALLY behind the team creating a cracking atmosphere and game was fantastic. Yep late equaliser a shame but Boro were good value for a point. Keep the faith |

Comment | Tenth Anniversary of Evans Takeover
at 18:45:32
Unless I have missed it, I am not aware of anyone showing a genuine interest in taking the club over in the past 10 years.
Without Marcus Evans money we would be stuffed. Game has moved on and parachute payments have stopped the level playing field aspect of the Championship to a degree.
We now get mid table crowds at best despite improvements in entertainment this season. Be careful what you wish for peeps |

Comment | McCarthy: Difficult To Take But No Disgrace
at 16:08:07
Went away for weekend after game and amazed to come back and read MM assessment of game (to be fair he is usually a lot more honest)
Most worrying thing was that score should have been more than 1-0 and Norwich were so obviously better than us
Last season we made some acceptable progress and gave hope for this season. In all honesty none of our signings appear to be of the quality to turn us into Play Off contenders and we look mid-table at best.
Agree with comments re quality of football on show at Portman Road for a few years now and think this has as much to do with falling crowds as silly prices |

Comment | Town Confirm Parr Signing
at 17:12:54
ITFCRealist would appear to be a unrealistic name? A very good under the radar replacement for Cresswell in a matter of days. Agree that a creative midfielder is our main requirement now and we will be not that far way from a play off challenge. Have to accept that we are hugely disadvantaged against relegated sides and MM is our best bet of galvanising a side with more limited resources |

Comment | McCarthy Proud of His Team
at 16:39:41
Not bad for an end of season game and Wednesday fans were outstanding (particularly fat bloke!) Some promise for next year and undeniable that we have made good progress, but if we are honest probably 3 players away minimum from a real force at this level. Will we push the envelope in summer to go to next level? |

Comment | McCarthy Delighted With Double Signing
at 17:06:57
Have to be realistic in our position on how attractive moving to us is going to be in January but this does provide competition from more mobile players in important striking positions and would suggest DJ's time with us is up, but what a great job he did.
Watched McLean a few times in my home town of PBoro alongside Mackail-Smith and whilst not as good as Craig, he was a decent player and surprisingly good in the air with great hang |

Comment | McCarthy Appointment Reportedly Close
at 07:20:52
Accepting that we are adrift at the bottom of the Championship and therefore not the most attractive of jobs, I seriously don't think we could have expected anyone better than Mick and personally I think his style of management is something that ITFC has needed for a little while now - not the "scare them to death" Keane approach but a firm hand on the tiller |

Comment | Town Confirm Jewell's Exit
at 16:01:39
How refreshing to witness the general decency re-emerging from Town fans on this thread - PJ a decent man, but this was the right decision by both parties and sadly inevitable end to one man's tenure.
Not sure people should be jumping for joy just yet, as the people ahead of the manager at our club are yet to demonstrate an ability to make the right decision and more important would be a strategy that puts hunger over experience both on and off the pitch.
Less than 16,000 there last night at the most expensive ground in the Championship and the problems of our club are unlikely to be resolved by changing the person who never puts on a pair of boots or signs the cheques. |

Very astute signing by PJ and the guy still has a fair bit about him.
Just what we needed as have been too nice for a good few years
Centre half and Keeper left to sort out? |

Comment | Wickham Sunderland Move Confirmed
at 14:38:33
A very good bit of business for the club for a young player as yet unproven at our level on a consistent basis let alone the Prem.
Let's hope that PJ gets the chance to re-invest the majority of this straight into the playing staff which is around 3 away from being competitive in the top half |

Comment | Keane Set to Field Young Side Against West Brom
at 22:06:58
Ah Leeds away in 2000 during the fuel protests so the roads were empty as well - happy days. Scowcroft scores with a mis-hit and Jamma gets the winner against a team who went onto the Champions League semi-finals. Also the last year we reached the League Cup semi-finals and that amazing atmosphere at Birmingham when we got smashed in extra time on the sand.
Those were also the days in which the Ipswich fans SUPPORTED the team come what may. Some of you need to grow up big time and concentrate on helping the club into a semi with West Ham and a trip to Wembley (we can but hope!). Agree Keane not really the long term solution, but he will be in situ until the end of the season so get over it. |

Comment | Keane Will Look to Loan Market
at 12:17:28
Despite 3 REALLY good signings this week, I think we are still short of a Centre Half and Premier Standard Striker in order to have a pop at promotion.
If we don't get another forward on loan would like to see Pablo and Walters up top, with Proskin as back up? |
