Because the vast majority.... on 16:28 - Jan 21 by Bloots

....of our players are crap and the owner won't invest enough money to improve the squad.

There's 2 reasons for you.


How can you say 'the majority of our players are crap'???

2 or 3 maybe who are L1 standard, the rest are fine for the Championship.

The problem is surely how they are coached and told to play during games, not that they are crap players, a different manager and different approach is needed, that's all.

Agreed. The Cobbolds oversaw one of the most successful periods in the history of the club. They viewed a crisis as “running out of port” in the boardroom.

Gotta keep some perspective,😄

I'm suggesting that the supporters, even in large numbers and possibly representing a majority, are not always right.

We should remember that ME is a supporter and, like the rest of us, he wants a year on year improvement in the club's fortunes. Ultimately he is the one to decide whether to offer MM a new contract. In his shoes I would not be hanging about; the offer to MM would be on the table now. Perhaps it is and MM is giving it consideration over the next four months. I don't know and nor do most of the rest of us. I fear that ME will offer the extension (or has already) and that MM will decline it and walk away.

I think that MM deserves at least two more years on his contract. If he leaves we are, imo, far less likely to make the top six in that time and far more likely to be relegated.

People keep bringing up the subject of season ticket sales. How do they suppose ST sales will be affected by relegation?

MICK IN!

The funny thing is when they actually made that comment it really annoyed a lot of Town fans as they felt it showed a lack of support for the footballing side of the club

As I posted elsewhere how many poters on TWTD would put their hand in their pocket to 'rescue" (if that is the general view) ITFC?


How many would you expect to have a few mill available?!

Plenty of people (incl me) have said they'd put a few hundred in towards a collective effort, and some of us are still shareholders.

Its not just the poor quality football for me, its everything about the whole match day experience. You arrive at the ground to be greeted with a loud siren to be told where to go in an emergency (I accept that some announcements have to be made, but why cant they change the voice or tone as its been the same since eternity).

You cant have a smoke at half time, and Christ knows I and many others need one given the level of entertainment. Is it really that hard to barrier off a small section at the exits for people to have a cigarette, most away grounds have been doing this for years.

Then there's the announcements, this is not a personal dig but can they not use someone say maybe alongside Rob Chandler just to mix things up a bit.

And the catering, well what can I say that hasn't already been said, I purchased a sausage roll at half time in the Sheffield United game and I suddenly realised why it had been so long since I had last bought one, burnt and overcooked it must have been left over from the Boxing Day game and £3.00 for the privilege.

Then when you want to leave early a steward stands by the exit stopping people (or so it would appear) from leaving.

I try to apply logic to most things in life but that simply doesn't appear to be the case at ITFC. As many posters have stated, you don't expect to turn up every week a win, but for the money you pay you want to enjoy yourself and be entertained, win lose or draw.

On the logical side of things, the big question is why would you run your business so badly and lose money, well the only logic I can apply is run your business at a loss and you presumably don't pay corporation tax. I am sure that many questions have been asked to the boardroom by Phil and others that usually get met with a politicians answer.

I am sure the misery will end at some point, but probably when we least expect it.

It’s impossible to be 100% sure, but based on attendance at football grounds for around 40 years, including around 50 or so other grounds, including many in the home end, most of your post describes the experience at football grounds, not just at Portman Road.

And I hear this argument about misery so many times. I know we’ve been sat in the same division for so long and that that can feel dull, but suggesting it’s “misery” to not be relegated in 15 years is just daft.

It’s dull, yes, you may not like the manager, or any of our players, but where we are should not be causing you misery.

The quote was white wine, and it not being chilled. Tommy Docherty as Manager of Manure was quoted as saying the only good thing he got from Portman Road was a good lunch.

That's a load of rubbish. I had a conversation with you after we lost at Fulham last season and you were still backing Mick and his football then. It matters little though. Go and graze on some plants till August and we'll speak again then.

It's not rubbish at all, it's exactly my position. You will be able to find numerous posts where I said Mick should go in the summer, both last season and this season. But your arrogance is such you don't read what other people post because you don't feel you need to, you once claimed you know more about football than MM which says it all really.

Yes i accept your points but what I would say if it was your business what would you do to arrest the slide. I don't buy the you need millions arguments to get out of this division, Blackpool and huddersfield proved that. And again I'm not interested in McCarthy slating the fans as he is played enough not to worry about it. I just want to be entertained and to enjoy the match day experience. If that was happening why are supporters leaving in the thousands?

Claimed I knew more about football than MM!? Haha! Where on earth did you conjure that from? Load of absolute nonsense. Think you're tripping on that one.

I've had loads of chats with you on varying threads and only recently within the last year have you agreed it's time for MM to go. You were happy two seasons ago, not that it's a point scoring contest, we were all bound to get tired of him at some point as he does little to Ingratiate himself with fans.
