I was discussing this with RKD a little while back and I think we came to the conclusion that offering Kieron the job is a no brainer.
We are currently a complete mess and who are we going to attract? It will undoubtably be another has been or probably a nearly has been.
There is not a lot of difference between Kieron, Gerrard or Lampard as punts.
Lampard and Gerrard were undoubtably more significant players than Kieron but Kieron wasn't too far behind. Kieron was absolute quality.
As we know good players don't always make good managers but we aren't exactly the pick of the crop at the moment.
Lampard went on to manage Chelsea and Gerrard is flying at Rangers.
At this time IPSWICH TOWN are languishing beneath the likes of Doncaster and Accrington Stanley.
It is quite plain that if we offered Kieron the job with Terry Butcher as a deputy they would bight our arm off. Can you imagine Accrington Stanley having a chance of Kieron and Butcher? It just wouldn't happen.
Although it's a punt we have the opportunity of having a pair of bods (nailed on taking the job) that many teams far above our current position would absolutely die for.
Or am I stoopid? |  |

Quite but we/ ME have to think differently if this vicious spiral of decline is to be reversed. |
we can think all we like, but unless that d1ckhead owner doesn't pull his finger out then we aren't going anywhere |  |

What's Jim Magilton up to these days?
It's really easy to get caught up in the Kieron Dyer love in because of his Ipswich connections, and I would hate for him to come in and not succeeed and turn any relationship sour.
However, you can't look past what's already been mentioned, the quality of managers and coaches that he's worked with, the level he's played at (and arguably should have had a far far better career save for injuries).
He's been young and daft, so will have experience and empathy with what is generally a young squad. Butcher may not have set the world alight, but he's had 500+ games of management experience and was moderately successful with Inverness and never really had an easy job either. He's got plenty to offer.
I think key to it would be the coaching team. Skuse comes across so well and I do wonder whether, if you want to build for the future, then Dyer with an experienced head of Butcher and the enthusiam of what I believe to be an intelligent young coach like Skuse could pave the way forward.
It's a long shot, but there's no guarantee with any manager, some just 'fit' the club and its personnel, some don't.
If Pearson was interested though, he'd be my choice, but Dyer above the others for sure. |  | | |

Wrong time for Dyer. The club is a mess and l don't think Dyer/Butcher could take that on without coming into conflict with Evans, they have the club at heart too much and Evans isn't going to want to be called out on stuff that is wrong. Needs to be a Pulis/Pearson type person for the time being. As it stands it could kill Dyer's career before it got started. |  | | |
