With the economics of football these days, it feels like we basically have two shots at promotion this year and next year. Ok that’s over simplifying it but these years are where we have the big advantage.
In turn that could determine the entire direction of the club for a long long time. This off season, lots of money in, loan players for one year in and plenty of players out.
If we finished short this season we would still be in a very strong financial position but in my opinion we would likely be with a new a manger and have to rebuild with loan players leaving etc and possibly an entire new direction. Also a lot of capital raising going on behind the scenes with the speed of our progression.
It felt like 23/24 was a fever dream, last year in some ways was a bit of a free hit, take your medicine and come back stronger.
For everyone that hated the PL experience just remember the 15 odd years before and look at clubs WBA, Norwich etc now, feels like this is our time to try and properly re-establish.

I’m too old to be getting properly stressed (tho that won’t stop me ranting on game days) but I do think this year’s Championship is going to be wide open. Wide open. As in nothing like the four team dominance of us, Leicester, Leeds and Saints when we went up. Teams such as Bristol City, Charlton, Milwall, even Budgies have a little bit of bounce about them. And not to mention the Brady Bunch and Wrexham.
Our squad as is, is not poised to run away with anything. May look different by end of window, of course. Wonder if yet again we’ll be doing important business in the January window. |  |

It’s the little things when you live abroad but were born in Ipswich.
We were irrelevant for so long, then last year I had multiple people at baseball coming up to me asking about my hometown club, Delap or talking about the actual games because I had a Town polo on.
They recognized it and had heard of us, never that over here before for younger US generations. Not that most people care about that but I love it having been over here for so long.
I want us to rebuild the aging stands at Portman Road and be back at the top level for future generations, 2003-2021 was so damn awful.
It just feels like our chance. [Post edited 15 Aug 1:22]

Fully agree it will be a massive fail if we don’t get back up; we’ll likely never have a better chance. We have huge investment, parachute money and millions from record sales. These last days of the window feel so fking important. | |

Don't stress it, or at least not after 1 league game!
Honestly, you can lose 16-17 games and still make the play offs comfortably. We could be garbage all season and yet still end up with 2 matches to go up.
For me, we are stacked with top 3 level championship players in every position aside from central midfield which is where we are short and need to sign players.
We are just in that weird limbo for a relegated side where we won't really know our squad until after September 1st. I feel people are overly angsty due to the unsettled squad and because confidence needs to be rebuilt after taking beatings last season. |  | | |

After many years of following the town not so much of late (attending matches) If the results are bad I have learnt to just shake my head and say ffs! Tell the Good Lady the result and move on.
Of course as I did for many years actually going to the games there’s a world of difference in the feelings of a win or loss,buzzing or gutted I guess comes to mind.
Still that’s all part of it I guess. |  |
