I think two years into the project only reaching the play-offs would be viewed as a big failure (as finishing 11th, 10th or ninth this season will be). |
I think for me, we've seen what happens when that promotion doesn't happen and how slowly the investments dropped and season by season the club got worse behind the scenes let alone on it. My concern with how the ownership works is what actually happens if the pension pot sees us fail after 2.5 seasons to go up at least 1 level.
Is now the Time to worry? Probably not. But i think it's right to share a balanced view over having just a positive, everything is rosey we have time view. I just don't think we do. | |

Why say such a thing? Is it because you are getting excited about the prospect of a new manager? Is it because you are still remembering the Bristol weirdo’s endless nonsense a few months ago? Is it because you yearn for Evans and the best squad in the league with a teary eye?
No ‘it’ll be interesting to see the team grow and McKenna develop as a manager’. No ‘I’m looking forward to seeing how the club on and off the pitch evolves over the next year’. Just ‘12 months for Ashton and KM to save their jobs’. Both have been here less than a year.
Still, you have ready support from Norwich’s Elephantintheballbag and one or two others, I’ve no doubt. Jeez. |  | | |

It doesn't matter how KM develops as a manager if he fails to get us promoted.
I'm very interested to see if we become a promotion winning team next season.
Don't see how I could be missing Evans when I've explained how the club went downwards after not getting the promotion as he expected.
To many live with the old days mentality. As shown by another post of a 1980s football shirt.
It's all about results. Not patience. Not playing fluffy football without winning. Just winning and winning enough to get promoted.
To many posts about how we are so close. We aren't. We are 11th and miles off. Big summer ahead and 12 months for manager and ceo to show the owners they've invested in the right club and they are the right people to do it with. | |

I know why everyone is dogpiling on Opie - TWTD loves groupthink and they’re convinced of their moral righteousness, and Opie is a bit of a dimlow - but is he wrong? |

So you think the owners would sit silently if we failed again then Donnie? It's OK if you think that. But why so? Give a forum discussion a go. You've taken me off ignore to comment so you must be keen to discuss it? | |

Sometimes you need patience to get results. Sometimes dominating possession gives you a better chance of winning, not least because the opposition cannot score if they don’t have the ball.
Sometimes in life building foundations is worthwhile as it gives you the base from which you as a club and as a team can grow. It’s rare that a garbage football club ever gets a good team. It can happen if a genius like say Clough walks in, but they’re as rare as ….Brian Clough.
We were a garbage club, disappearing down the plug hole. We aren’t now. Build right and we will see the benefit. That’s not old school, it’s how most good things in life come about and that is what the owners are trying to do. We have the basis of a good team for this level. We can see what’s missing and I would hope KM can too.
Sorry, I just don’t think your title is fair, informative or helpful, but each to their own. | | | |

I agree and if we were a smaller club I'd probably be expecting a 2/3 year period under KM before questions would be raised.
But at this level and this alone. Our outlay is at such a level on the pitch and off it, that time isnt a gift you can give either the manager or the ceo in charge of taking the club forward.
Personal beliefs on the above tho doesn't stop what we as individuals want for the club which above all is success. I just feel sometimes people don't appreciate where we are as a club and how important success is soon before it all goes to pot again. | |

Slightly tabloid way of putting it and obviously it's slightly early to start getting concerned about what may happen at the end of next season, but I can imagine there won't be a surfeit of patience among the owners if we don't go up next season. |
Yes, and I don't suppose they're delighted about the fact that we have a lower league position than last season, and may also finish with a lower points tally. It's a mighty embarrassment in my view. |  | | |

Frimmers could say that Ipswich play in blue and certain posters would be on here firing down arrows and demanding that he’s banned (yet still responding to every one of his posts).

Do you have one of those radios with teles built into them, fairplay wkj. Haven't seen one of those for years. How do you get I player on it? |
You’ve literally admitted on numerous occasions this season when posting as Makin that you listen on the radio to matches and not watch. |  |

It's a pretty banal observation, dressed up provocatively.
Every single manager in the entire football league could conceivably have 12 months (6 even!) bad enough to cost them their job. |  |

No. I said I listened to 1 game on the radio as I couldn't catch the game on I follow. SB brought it up every week as I commented on Edwards losing the ball alot. Which the commentators said. But apparently as I didn't watch it, it didn't happen and couldn't be commented about.
But the usual posters cling on to 1 said thing and continue it for all eternity. Let them crack on :)
I'm intrigued by wkj using the radio tele combo tho. [Post edited 24 Apr 2022 20:12]

Not quite like that tho is
KM could have what could be seen as a normally positive season by our standards and finish 6th but lose in the final.. I don't think the owners will be happy enough with that. | |

If I was trolling I'd have left the OP without responding there after.
Is it strongly worded yes as I agreed with Phil perhaps could have phrased it better. But that's my posting style. To the point. | |

I don’t understand why so many people have downvoted the OP.
As much as I like the new owners and manager etc etc if we don’t go up next season (assuming we’ll have a good budget by L1 standards) then there will be no excuse for not going up. Anyway who states that ‘this is a hard division’ has drastically lowered their standards. [Post edited 24 Apr 2022 20:21]

I don’t think Frimmers would say Ipswich play in blue and white.
He has a different style of posting.
He would probably say something along the lines of, “TWTD, it is time to realise ITFC will be playing in blue and white next season, and you just have to accept I am correct in what I am saying about this, and anyone that disagreed with me in the past will look silly”
Or
“I think Mark Ashton and the owners would make a big mistake if they changed the team colours to mauve and brown, I am right aren’t I, if that happened it would be a disaster, you watch what happens if that happened, you’ll see I was right.” |  | | |

Yep, hard for both to defend themselves if that happens.
However, I fully expect us to be in the mix with a few additions and a decent pre season behind us. |  |

It's exactly like that?
There's not a single manager in the EFL that would survive 12 months achieving significantly below budget - which 6th very much is. | |

Sorry misunderstood there. I just thought you meant any manager could have a nightmare season so are always 12 months away from a sacking. Apologies. | |

Strange take. I Don't actually say I'm right. I give my opinion on things. Like the one with flash last week. He had a view I had a view. I'm comfortable that his view is different. We certainly wouldn't end up agreeing with each other but that's life. | |
