ITFC timing is always bad 14:03 - Aug 7 with 5132 viewskizaitfc

Premier League relegation we missed out on parachute payments by 1 or 2 years.

And now this a year after relegation to League 1.

Poll: Mick in or out? (not a dig at Mick just want to see the overall opinion on here)

We did get parachute payments but they weren't as high as they subsequently grew to, I think as a result of us, Derby and Leicester all going into administration after relegation in 2002.

Can we throw in the collapse of ITV digital as well?

Plus England needing managers at the exact time keeping ours was crucial.

Are you sure about that Phil? Because I am not. All I can find out there relating to the history of parachute payments is that they came in in 2006-2007.

Yep, they were there from the start of the Premier League I think, certainly had been around for a few years by 2002 anyway. Charlton, for example, went up for a season and then came back stronger in 2000.

Either way it's a pittance and the way in which everything has ballooned by 1000's of % points in the Prem sphere is scandalous.

Maguire produced some mindbending stat about how Arsenal had made so much money in the Prem era and the exponential growth that explodes in the past 20 years is staggering.

So I wonder why everyone, including those esteemed academics from Sheffield Hallam, thinks that parachute payments only came in to play in 200/07. What was it about 2006/07 that made people think there were PPs in place that weren't before?

In the last 20 years we have
- Built two new stands when crowd revenue is going to become far less important
- Been relegated during the collapse of ITV Digital
- Missed out on the ballooning parachute payments which probably came as a result of that
- Have then had to compete with clubs who did benefit from these large payments
- Missed out on the ballooning TV money, rendering crowd revenue virtually pointless at the top-level
- We bothered to comply with FFP, making us less competitive overall
- The Elite Player Performance programme is introduced so 'Category One' Academies can now poach all your talent before it has a chance to see your first team
- Ipswich fail to achieve Category One status whilst Premier League Swansea are granted leniency until their system is up to scratch
- Having been relegated to the third tier following Hurst's transfer window from hell for the first time in about 60 years, the season is curtailed early because clubs can't afford CoVid testing. We probably would have missed the play-offs any way but did still have to play Bolton, Southend, Shrewsbury and MK Dons at home
- A salary cap is introduced so that all clubs are reduced to the wage expenditure of probably the bottom third of of teams in the League? Why this needs to happen given there are already FFP rules in League One which seem fairly sensible, is anyone's guess. So what if Bury and Bolton were run appallingly badly, it's a punishment for those who are sensibly run.

There you go, since relegation, we have always seemed to be the wrong side of history

Maybe it'll be good timing to get back into the Championship with a low wage bill just as the salary cap is forcing everyone else to cut their spending from a high and unwieldy base?

Your last point is particularly galling given that Evans tried to be a mover in redressing the balance re parachute payments at Championship level. The Premier League threatened to withhold the EFL’s solidarity payments and instead of presenting a united front against this, Evans’s proposals never even got to a vote.

The last 6 months shows that Evans is seen as an irrelevant figure in football with less clout than the owner of Accrington f–-ing Stanley. I can only conclude they see what a lousy job he’s done of running us and collectively spite him because, well, he’s a f–king idiot.

It has nothing to do with timing or luck and everything to do with terrible leadership. You get what you deserve in football, Ipswich is a great club with an excellent fan base but a totally incompetent owner who's found his level in the game in League One sadly. If he didn't want to be here he should have done more to stay up. He had plenty of opportunity to do so, and better but chose not to.

Yeah he throws millions away every year on nothing but from a business perspective anyone who chucks millions at something to achieve nothing is equally not every good at business, even less so someone who's lost what close to 100mill in a decade on a business, which is what Evans has done at Ipswich. He's not the evil millionaire the Out group makes him out to be, he's just really crap at his role here and thats a fact.

Just further on this tack, I have a memory of listening to John Kerr being interviewed by Bryan Knights on the Soccerline after relegation in 1995 and Kerr mentioning that we would receive £1 million in both of the following two seasons from the Premier League so as to cushion lost revenue.

You're not far wrong there but it would be naive to assume some of these circumstances haven't hampered us further

There's no doubt the parachute payments system has made it increasingly hard for clubs out of the Premiership for a long time to return

Forest, Wednesday, Coventry, Bradford and a few others, certainly haven't managed it, nor have they ever really looked likely to

Leeds have only just got back

Leicester despite recent successes found it hard despite bouncing back at the first time of asking. It took wealthy Thai owners to turn them around.

Derby have managed one season in the Premier League since coming down with us and I'm sure they'd rather forget that one

Complying with FFP seems to have been a waste of time with the Football League moving the goalposts and enforcing it pretty weakly by in large. I always wondered if the club's who had complied could sue the Football League for a restraint of trade

The Elite Player Performance Programme has also meant a lot of young prospects who may have a crack at first team football before moving onto better things are leaving clubs at 15 or 16 now

Ipswich have lost three notable talents who would surely still be here and knocking on the door of the first team

There are winners and losers, we have very much fallen into the losers category and have fallen behind a lot of far smaller clubs in the last 20 years

All very depressing indeed, our fans deserve far better than this

Yes, I know Sheepy managed to get it changed after we’d failed on it twice, but didn’t we then fall foul of it since it’s been changed where if it had still been the other way we would’ve benefitted? Vague memory.

I don't think so - We lost to West Ham outright on both occasions since?
