Didnt Evans say we were trying something new in that PR stunt of an interview? Well whats new then? Yes, a new face at the helm, other than that its the same old story. Selling our better players for what seem like peanuts compared to the ridiculous prices some are going for at other clubs. Does he just bend over and take the first offer? Doesnt seem to hold out for anything better.
Its just the same with incoming players. So far we have an 18 year old kid on loan and a lower league winger on a free. If rumours are right, we are also looking at other older freebie journeymen. Having said that, we need to sign a quite a few as we have let an awful lot go.
I can only see us struggling this season, unless there is a minor miracle. The bookies have us down for relegation. They dont tend to get things far out.
Something new Evans? Bollox! |  | | |  |

We haven't even played a game under the new regime, Hurst has been in charge a matter of days and the players have only returned to training this week.
What were you expecting? |  | | |

Keeping our better players for a start. We are only looking at lower league freebies. You tell me what has changed then? | | | |

New back room set up
Selling players to raise funds to implement changes to the playing squad that Hurst thinks is needed
At no point was I expecting us to start spunking millions on new players
Let's just give the new guys a chance before criticising, If not it's gonna be a long season. | | | |

Surely you need to allow the manager the whole first window to shape the squad before judging? |  |

Did Evans say anything about changing the transfer policy in his interview? No. On the contrary, he made it perfectly clear that would broadly remain unchanged. There would not suddenly be lots of money available.
Webster's sale price is only 'peanuts' if you take an overinflated view of his talents as actually demonstrated on the pitch and ignore his relative inexperience at this level, plus the glaring injury record. He has nothing like Flint's achievements.
Bookies give short prices to things which the punters are putting money on, to minimise their losses against the larger stakes wagered. It has nothing to do with what may actually happen. Otherwise the favourite would win every race. |  |

No, you're the one struggling here.
We have had a manager in post for about a week and you are already drawing conclusions about our transfer policy. We've probably only signed a freebie so far as it is much easier to get that sorted.
If, and its a big if, we get to the end of the window having sold a few better players and have only replaced them with freebie lower league journeymen, then you can come back and have a justified moan. [Post edited 30 Jun 2018 10:51]

You're 100% right, the bookies dont get much wrong do they, remind me of who were favourites to get relegated from L1 last season and where they eventually finished?
Remind me of where those favourites for the Town job Jack Ross,the Cowleys and Gerard are now? |  |

I have pointed out that Evans did not mention change in transfer policy. He referred to new approaches in fitness and injury avoidance, plus integration between youth teams and the Championship squad. He may also have been alluding to the choice of an up-coming young manager from the lower divisions rather than an experienced pair of hands (or a famous face such as Keane).
All those things have or are happening.
The thing he didn't promise - blarting huge sums of money on transfers - hasn't. | |

Last year were you moaning about us signing a couple of journeymen strikers for not very much money from the rubbish Scottish League?
Your post seems to be saying that it's rubbish to buy young players, rubbish to buy mid-20's players, and really rubbish to buy over-30's players. And new things should be happening but it's rubbish that quite a few squad fillers have moved on to make room for new players coming in.
The "something new" is a new manager with a more attacking ethos who has said that he will evaluate players on what he sees rather than on reputation, and who is bringing in his own players to bring about a shift in how we play. And he's been in post how long?
Write off the manager after just over a fortnight of pre-pre-season, and all his signings before they have kicked a ball in an Ipswich shirt?
Now that truly is "Bollox!" | | | |
| Something new? on 10:53 - Jun 30 with 4245 views | TrumptonBlue |
The something different promised was just in the type of manager, as I understood it - someone up and coming rather than an experienced old hand. Evans has delivered that.
I don't know why you would have expected us to keep our best players. The change of manager won't have changed the fact that we have no money and need to sell to survive. |  | | |

I'm not sure it's entirely justified even then. It depends on how those formerly lower division men actually perform, whether they turn out to be as good as, or even better than, what we had before. | |

The same bookies that had Cardiff down for possible relegation and Sunderland down for playoffs at least? | |
