McGreal as interim, and brining his own assistant. 10:49 - Dec 6 with 4012 viewsitfcjoe

It really feels to me that this is McGreal's job to lose

Then surely someone like Warnock to get us up, then look at things again ?.


My reading is that the owners still want to chase promotion this season.

The best person to maximise the chances of achieving that may not be the same person to take the project forward in the Championship.

If he gets a good points return this month he’ll be here until end of season is my guess


I reckon that depends who the manager search unearths. If someone of proven ability becomes available I think they’ll go for him. What JM’s appointment gives them is time - if they find they need it.

Imagine sacking a manager of Cooks ability/standing and replacing with McGreal.

What a club!


29% win rate at Town is the only stat that's worth considering about Cook all his previous achievements at other clubs are irrelevant if he couldn't replicate the success here.

This has been the whole issue with the banter era, we gave too much credit for past glories at other clubs. The only thing that should matter for a manager of Ipswich Town is whether that manager brings success to Ipswich. Personally, I don't support Wigan, Portsmouth or Chesterfield so I don't care if he got them promoted.

So this is a short term project now?


The long-term project is in transforming the club from top to bottom, not indulging the first team manager with time they haven't earnt.

We said that about Lambert...


So, fair play to Cookie for achieving what we all thought was impossible and doing worse.

I'm one of the people who was blamed for getting Paul Cook sacked. PM for the full post.

Lunacy to me.

If you relieve someone like Paul Cook of his duties 4 months in to a long term project, you do it because you have a good reason, a better alternative lined up and ready to come in immediately.

You don't do it to bring in John McGreal, Rene Gilmartin & Kieron Dyer as we go into our most important month of our season.

Can't get my head around it but let's see how it plays out. Successful we hope of course.


No way is McGreal going to be our new manager , he is just a caretaker manager . These owners will look at a higher level . If we were still in the Evan era , maybe JM , but not with the new owners .

Replacing Cook with McGreal is just short term , I'm hoping for a young progressive coach , not any old hand .

Manning ticks all the boxes for me
