| The 5 Point Plan 11:49 - Mar 18 with 986 views | PattiswickBlue |
I saw a post on twitter with what changes/adaptations would want to see to the five point plan; if Evans stays on.
‪Regarding Point 1 (Academy) - Need to employ more youth coaches from outside the club, Ipswich are trying to develop to many youth coaches at once. Get the best coaches available, will increase academy players quality.‬
‪Point 2 (Salary) - As Mick Mills said; we need to buy quality rather than quantity. Instead of buying 10 players, buy 4 quality players.‬ We have to manage the budget better, we waste money on loans and free transfers who are not worth it. For example, Ward, Cornell, Hawkins, Roberts, Thomas, Earl, Georgiou, Edun, Graham. I think you get the point now!
‪Point 3 (Transfer Fees) - I agree with this point, I think we should buy young players low and sell them high. But, for this to work we need to improve our recruitment. Our last successful purchase was probably Waghorn. You could argue KVY.
Hurst’s recruitment was an attempt at this but it was woeful, none of the players he signed are championship quality, apart from potentially Edwards on form.
‪Point 4 (Stable Management) - We have not seen this one in action yet! However, I would agree with it, we need to get right behind Cook and give him the time he needs, as he will be successful for us. ‬
‪Point 5 (Attractive/Exciting Football) - If we want this our recruitment needs to improve. I.E buying players to suit 4-2-3-1. Dynamic Full Backs, Pacey Direct Wingers and a Creative Number 10. Not signing a 35 full back to play in a 4-3-3! |  | | |  |

Point 5 is always going to be nice to have as there is no guarantee there.
But we largely abandoned the 5-point plan with Hurst and then Lambert. Relegation was mostly due to poor team management but our inability to settle and impose ourselves on League One feels as much about the continued absence of any long-term direction. |  |

Point 5.
Dos Santos.
Magiliton said he was specifically to get bums on seats and get the crowd excited.
Oh how he did that. |  | | |

It's almost impossible to follow isn't it? Too many things are aspirations/goals without an actual plan how to get there. |  |

Point 4 is a bit of a hostage to fortune, I'd say. You can't practice stable management if the guy in charge doesn't warrant it. "Stability" with Lambert already cost us 2 wasted seasons. |  |

Point 1. Evans does the right thing and decides to sell the club
Point 2. Evans agrees to sell the club to suitable investors.
Point 3. Evans actually sells the club to said investors.
Point 4. Investors invest.
Point 5. Promotion. |  |

It's a mind numbingly stupid aim when you've a track record of employing buffoons. The stability should be a layer above the manager, so that it doesn't matter who comes in and how often, they come into an established structure. We pick managers that suit the style that structure is set up for, and recruit players who do too - having the same ethos running through the club from the kids to the first team.
Well, that's how I'd do it anyway. | |

I actually thought we did most of it pretty well under Mick for his last few years though clearly we didn’t win enough or, in the absence of winning, entertain enough.
But to get most of it right also needed Mick and TC staying on track and holding things together.
It’s been clear with Hurst and Lambert that you’re leaving way too much to chance if that overall strategy is in the manager’s hands. You’re right that needs a plan and probably an infrastructure to be sure we’re doing the right things. | |

I don't know if Town are more prone to these grandiose but vacuous calls than other clubs, but we've sure had a few. Even back in the days of John Kerr I seem to recall a 5 point plan that went something like:
Get better
Improve on that
Develop what we're good at
Incorporate it in the plan
Get better still
Unlike Stalin's five year plans it wasn't achieved in three, but it was harmless, if vague. |  |

The current structure is testament to Marcus Evans' patented "hands off but no hands on" method of management, where he doesn't make decisions but won't let anyone else do it either. | |

Cook has to be judged on results not feelgood. It's not the 70's anymore. If we're not up, or looking dead cert to be up within a year he must go. |  |

There's absolutely nothing to be gained from changing manager every season either. This club cannot be fixed in a year. |  |
