In the short term that does likely mean he's not going to be backing the manager significantly during the window and will probably mean our relegation.
In the long term, it's going to be the best thing to bring in new leadership. The Championship got too rich for him, and we seemed to walk from one disaster into another during his tenure and it's best for both parties to move on. Of all his managerial appointments - Keane, Jewell, McCarthy, Hurst and Lambert - every single one of those managers, who had success elsewhere had a relegation battle while here.
While admittedly I was never his biggest fan and don't believe he's been a leader here, I appreciate the fact he did fund it for the last decade even if ultimately it's been a big failure. I really do think selling the club would be the best option for everyone now, to whom, thats the biggest problem.
Following on from the thread yesterday, it would be a nice idea to sell a % of the club to those supporters willing to put their hands in their pockets. Last time shares were on sale, we were in a different place and many of us didn't see the need, or the urgency for fan input and ownership at that time. I feel differently now, and i'd be happy to cough up for a small % to support the club. It won't likely happen though. |  |

You invested a lot of words on this hearsay: I think this is an unhealthy assumption until something official comes out. |  |

what purpose would fans chucking in a few grand here and there actually serve? |  |

The debt would only be £94,998,000. |  | | |

Maybe so, but that same hearsay suggested Hurst was a goner before the Leeds game - so not always wrong.
As I said, I wouldn't blame the man. He's either got to dig deep and pay out a significant chunk to keep us in the Championship, or lose a significant chunk going down to League One. We're a million miles off the Premier League, which was his ambition, so the idea he's looking to sell is not unrealistic at all.
I doubt he'd get the £35 million for it. If he does he will have done well. | |

We'll need to buy a field near Bury st Edmunds and a few sheds to use as changing rooms in our beautiful re-birth as Ipswich AFC | |

A collective input in our community club. My grandfather was mates with old man Cobbold himself, the club has been in my blood and I hurt seeing what's happened to it - I wish i'd have put my hand up in 2003 or whenever and done something positive rather than remain on the sidelines, even if the input was small. If we all had that attitude we might have been in this mess, so I take some of the blame. The debt then was only 25mil!! Pocketchange ;) | |
