John Lyall took the club for a ride with his ludicrous 'move upstairs' and should have been sacked far earlier than he was.
David Linighan was a really poor footballer. |
David Linighan has the most appearances for Ipswich in the Premier League. |  | | |

Alternatively the run out music should be 'Halo, Halo, its good to be back' |
Great idea...we can play the themes from "It's a Knockout" and "Jim'll Fix It" at half time and full time too |  |

Hold my beer, I think I’ve got this…
Other than a Purple patch when he first joined us, David McGoldrick was p1ss poor more often than not.
3-4 goals from open play a season, always injured- yes he could turn on a sixpence, had a great step over on him, a lovely touch and just incredible natural ability all over- but his output was absolute dog water for the majority of his time here, considering the money he was on.
He was never the same after Southampton in the cup- they essentially showed the rest of the league how to deal with him effectively, live on the BBC. [Post edited 3 Jul 22:14]

John Duncan's teams were better than Mick McCarthy's and far less boring to watch. |  |

I agree but I do think they could have played together and I really don’t understand why he never tried it, not like we had anything to lose.
Hirst as a 9 and Delap behind, they were perfect for each other. |
Yep. So many experts on here and Twitter said that wouldn’t or couldn’t work… not like anything else we tried was a success. We were lightweight all season so why not play two big units up top together? Madness we never gave it a chance . |  |

The Cobbolds were terrible owners/administrators who should have invested more into the club when it was at its strongest. |

I think we've had this argument before but you are so wrong. The guy was class and wasted by us, funny how after leaving us he managed to stay largely injury free, Sheffield Utd, Derby and Notts County got full seasons our of him because they looked after their players, unlike us under Evans. Also rather than the cup game at Southampton I'd say the injury against Shef Wed when their guy tried to kick his ballbag into the top tier of Churcmans was worse.
MMc being a massive apologist for Evans didn't help us either. [Post edited 4 Jul 0:42]

Yes, yes, yes - he was 'class' incredible natural ability, as I said.
I'm talking purely about his time at Ipswich.
Some blame all the driving he had to do, as he never moved to Suffolk - but that's McGoldrick's choice. Whatever the reasons were - 3/4 goals in open play from one of your top paid players who is a striker just isn't good enough, regardless of the aesthetic beauty of his play.
After that Southampton game teams effectively dealt with him, before then he was pinging them in from distance on the regular. | | | |

Great thread
Few from me:
1. The misty-eyed way Bersant Celina is still viewed is bizarre. Yes he scored a great goal once, but overall flattered to deceive which has been the case throughout his entire career. During his last spell here we were statistically a worse team with him in it, under two different managers. That someone genuinely suggested him again as a signing a couple of weeks back blows my mind
2. There is a made-up perception that we will only have good characters at the club. Our captain has some very questionable views, and we willingly signed Brandon Williams after his balloon driving incident (it was only when he started to have personal issues here that he was jettisoned). Keogh another with previous issues. What we do is sign players with the right football attitude to fit in the squad, yet anytime we are linked with anyone with past issues a section of our fanbase insist it must be rubbish as we’d never sign anyone like that
3. Mark Ashton keeping transfers and other club info secret is a myth, largely formed by the first Summer here when everyone’s usual contacts went out the window. Even that Summer a few signings were reported on (including Davis which ran on for a while) and pretty much all have been since then, with quite a few dragged out publicly
4. We are undeniably now run like a professional football club, which is amazing. Unfortunately, we are also run like a professional business, which is probably good for the club but not so good for fans. A number of things have happened in the past couple of years that would have been pilloried in other times but accepted and clapped through thanks to what has happened on the pitch |  |

Classy footballer |
Cole Skuse was a poor footballer. Couldn’t pass, other than backwards, head, shoot or tackle. In fact I saw him chicken out of more than one challenge. He had no pace and his only assets was to intercept the ball in front of the defence now and again and wave his arms about from time to time.
Ok, he was better than Douglas, but given ‘great bloke Duggie’ was one of the worst players I’ve ever seen in a Town shirt, thats not saying much. Skuse, Douglas, Hyam = the midfield from hell. |  | | |

In the greatest of respects, McKenna was never going to try that. In 2 and a half years previous to that, he never played with 2 up top, so not a cat in hells chance he’d have done it whilst in the Prem. |  |

Paul Lambert had a big impact at his time with the club because he called out the owner. | |

Mark Ashton calling out Town fans when it comes to keeping transfer news/rumours under wraps, but is happy to pay Fabrizio Romano £150 to announce transfers for him….

Which, if true (I'll take your word for it), doesn't change my opinion one iota. He was terrible. |  | | |

I thought Alan Judge was a terrible midfielder for us and it's only because we had some awful loans around that time that he goes unnoticed in that regard.
And Hladky deserved a premier league go, at least for a few games. |  | | |

The idea that a dedicated 'singing section', whoever organises it or wherever it is situated, is or will ever be a major contributor to the atmosphere inside the stadium is a pipe dream. The massive overriding factor is what's happening on the pitch, same as at every club in the country.
It's bad, actually, when the club raise prices for things, flogs a load of tat in the shop, brings out new 'ranges' of training wear or whatever, charges £40 for a membership scheme that only benefits a relatively small amount of the fanbase etc.
The guy on the PA is fine, good even, and anyone who thinks Rob Chandler (as great as he was) would be doing it much differently is wrong. |  |
