They’re just going to bring up a spreadsheet of every out of contract League 1 and 2 player and filter by ‘assists’ aren’t they?

Anyway, good to know the club has realised far better run clubs than us have been doing this for years and will make a half-baked attempt to copy it.


I'm good at spreadsheets, and would offer my services for the role, but I've seen the wages we pay so.....

Poor old Lee is a bit out of his depth isn't he?

Put up as the front man to present stuff like this, and in January telling us why the loan signings were a significant step up from what we had.

As per other comments, the fact we see this as a big statement to boast about tells its own story about where we are as a club.


I'm not sure he ever said that, but the rest I agree with.

Yeah, it was in response to the criticism from fans that we were ignoring our own youngsters to develop other team's, and that it flew in the face of our so called 5 point plan.

He claimed that the loan signings were more complete players right now and that was what was needed to help the promotion push.

I don't blame him entirely, he has been made the official spokesperson for the club and so has to come out and support things, but I just don't think he is very good at it!

Going? They're long gone Lee.

Nice to know we're waking up somewhat but I've still no faith with Evans at the top.

The club is an embarrassment to think this is something to boast about now. Utterly pathetic.

This takeover really needs to happen.


Oh I dunno, fascinated to learn Charlie Wyke scores goals because someone else sets them up.

We'll just stick the work experience boy on a stats website and sign whoever he says at the end of the week.

LON will slither into his next interview bragging about the lightning fast assists and scoring legend we've signed before someone points out he's accidentally signed a basketball player.

Well, we've tried managers who were succesful 5+ years ago bringing in players who were last any good 5+ years ago. Now lets try a policy that every club with any sense has been doing for at least half a decade. We could even look into their medical histories if we're feeling ambitious.

I really do miss the days when Ipswich were the club to be the first to try new, innovative strategies rather than desperately trying to imitate others. By the time we've caught up, everyone else will have moved on to something else.

Evans gets man to do three different jobs, only qualified to do one.

If you see the toilet cleaner come out of the gents and immediately start serving 'pints' at half time, don't act surprised.

Well there is one tactic a few ckubs have used that I would like to see us try...it's called getting a new owner.

I've heard Barnsley do similar. The aim is to find players who conistently perform rather than a flair player who may show up once every 4 games.

At the moment we don't have any players that perform over any games so this stats related policy sounds okay to me!

Then sort responses by 'contract expiring'.

This will be a major step forward in our ability to compete at the highest level.

Plus don't forget that following Cole Skuse's guided tour a couple of weeks back, we also have a drinks fridge.

This means that players can get a cold drink just by opening the door and taking one out.
