Match day - 65. How's MA getting on with pre season? 13:11 - Jun 18 with 1672 viewsbluebud

If we presume that KM told MA he was leaving on Wed 27th May - as MA has told press (don't believe it) then why did...

...it take 2 whole weeks to announce it? Why?

Also why if we are now 22 days from the 27th May (when KM supposedly like no other manager ever on promotion to the Premier league just seemingly walked out) doesn't MA have another manager for us? The reason I ask this and am being pretty severe about it is that MA....for years, has reassured us all we have lists galore for every position and no matter what we are all protected. What a load of c@@p.

I don't find any truth whatsoever in the scenario that's been created for us

Its nice to have a new voice telling us how badly the club is run.

It was getting boring hearing from the same old posters.

Good work

OK, if it reads as a back peddle was not my intention. Just outlined how I have seen the timelines based upon public info and it is not 22 days, closer to 10.


Apart from me there are three posters on this thread giving you evidence that proves you're wrong.

Yep, Ipswich Town is a terrible club run by a complete fraud who is also the owner who has done nothing in five years. There are no Americans, no finance director, no investors no anything. Just a poor shadow of our saviour (thank you Marcus) Evans.

Oh how we long for the days when everyone was happy. Happy with those pre season promises, the shiny turnstiles and the club run by genuine professionals in Milne and Clegg. The sun always shone and the football was brilliant.

The last thing we needed was a man with a dinky beard, lies and a coffee cup owning it. Boooooo. Three promotions in four years and a club worth 10x its 2021 value and a presence in the Premier League? Who wants that when I can have my club back drifting to oblivion?

Your post is all about he who should not be named. Every decision, every word, every line of your posts is about putting the boot in. It doesn’t matter what the facts are. Irrelevant They’ll be slanted in an unfavourable light. Any appointment? It’ll be rubbish and the poor incumbent slaughtered unless his team wins by five every week.

The satanic man has spent 6 weeks doing nothing but exploring beard trimmers.

There you go. The above sarcastic, made up rubbish is just as fanciful as what you have posted. You don’t know who said what to who and when, what decisions have been made or by who or the timelines. Process - do you know what it is? While I know what non football recruitment looks like the crazy world of football is beyond me, but clearly not you.

I’m sure on your FM26 games it’s easy and maybe it is. But I’d have thought that finding the right person who is available and wants to come here is not so easy so why not chill out and let the club get on with it? You might as well because you won’t believe a word that’s said or in any appointment if the CEO has anything to do with it anyway.

So as per my posts down the page - there is little which MA can do around approaching other managers before KMs papework is all signed, else it would have legal and financial implications with the club acting before KM and the club had agreed anything.

The finer details take a lot of work across lawyers and accountants, after discussions around whether he was actually going.

It's not been 22 days for MA to be actively recruiting a manager is my point, closer to 10.


We can only speculate on when work began. The quote in that article suggests it started pretty much as soon as McKenna said he was off. My feeling is that if that was so it was probably no more than putting out the feelers, placing an ad in managers monthly or however footy clubs kick this sort of thing off. Most likely it started in earnest in about the timeframe you suggest, if only because people at the club will have been on holiday

You think MA has paused the search as he's on holiday?

Loving the concept of Managers Monthly - maybe a gap in the market you have spotted?

Why does he need to calm down?

Hes just gone to the same effort as the original poster to spout crap.

Only difference is, he intentionally did it.

Where exactly did I "spout c++p"? You've only been negative to posters in this thread and offered nothing - did you learn like the others and are just annoyed about it as well?

It's a very serious matter and has been proven in this thread already. There are fans who don't realise how long MA and the club knew about KM going.

"Where exactly did I "spout c++p"? "

Well the fact you've said the 27th is the definitive date that Ashton knew KM was going. The quote was a "couple of weeks" which is a colloquialism. When used in speech it doesn't really identify any particular day. You've just chosen to interpret it absolutely without any real knowledge.

I said the date was a presumption, based on what MA has said and announcements from the club. It's right there in my op.
