Am I the only one that doesn't like the management and players calling us a project? Tiny point, miniscule, irrelevant, but, y'know. |  |

Yeah agree but it’s not as annoying as the referee picking up the match ball off some weird plinth before the game. Why can’t he just bring it out of the changing room |  | | |

Depends how they pronounce it
Is it “pro ject”
Or
“Proj ect” |  |

That’s because it was once a football club and now it’s a franchise profit opportunity for a bunch of outsiders and chancers.
I’m sure you’ll be OK with it if they can buy success with other peoples’ money | |

I think you're overthinking it. For me it's just shorthand for saying they're all singing from the same hymn sheet and are fully behind McKenna's methods and style of play (and the way Gamechanger are running things). |  |

Doesn’t bother me tbh. At least they have an identity for what they’re doing, unlike Evans. |  |

Evans did have an identity for what we were doing. It was called failure. |  |

It's very, very quiet.
I can walk to the pub. |

Initiative, vision, clarity, direction, plan etc... That's all that's meant by "project"..
It's quite soulless, the business side, when lots of money is involved.
But the live crowds and players, can put the passion and emotion back into it. |  | | |

It’s just a cliched football term innit. |  |

It hadn’t been a football club for the 15 years prior to gamechanger arriving. | | | |

I wonder if we should be worried, given they've already bought the Staples building. In the States project means "a government-subsidised housing development with relatively low rents" [Post edited 22 Jul 2023 21:34]

didnt Sheepshanks call it "Mission..." something, back in the day to get into the premier league?
Im sure there was project 15k too. | | | |

For me it just means that they recognise that there's a huge amount to do to get to where we ultimately want to be and that to get to where we want to be you need to break it down into manageable chunks.
Having a multi-year project to get us established in the Premier league is much better than just being focussed on getting promoted. | |

Surely Evans is a swear word now and should be treated like the word beginning with C. Ban it. |  | | |

That's a harsh judgement on him just for captaining the team that lost at Cambridge today... | |

I don’t mind it being called a project, though technically it’s a programme of projects. I guess that’s because working on programmes/projects was what I did for a living so I heard the term(s) day in day out.
Now the ball and plinth thing really grinds my gears. I’d love to glue the ball to it and see what the ref did next.
Players shaking hands in a line before the game annoys me. Coin toss and Captains crush each others hands, fine. The rest: just growl at each other.
Calling Linesmen Referees Assistants: grrr. They’re ffing Linos!
Calling diving ‘simulation’. No it isn’t. It’s cheating, conning the ref. |  | | |

You can throw in the Sheepshanks years post 2001 when incompetence bankrupted the club and in turn shafted a lot of local businesses for how many pence in the pound? | | | |

Were you still able to celebrate our promotion? |  |

| Project Ipswich on 22:56 - Jul 22 with 4137 views | FrimleyBlue |
Kind of.
What happens to the club if the project fails? What is the end game of the project for it to be completed? |  |

Indeed. It's just another way of saying they have a plan.
We definitely weren't a project in the Marcus Evans years, which should tell you all you need to know. |  | | |

I don't dislike the term. Implies there's a longer-term plan, an aim and targets. All of which is better than just jogging along in whichever division we happen to be inhabiting, with just a vague hope of perhaps making the playoffs if things go well.
It's like taking an old sports car which was found neglected in someone's shed, doing it up, getting the engine purring, polishing the bodywork to the point it becomes a thing of pride, out on the open road again.
I think of clubs like Swansea, where there was a concerted project to bring them from takeover to the Prem - which was achieved.
It's something which people can see and buy into, desire to be part of. The difference between a player joining a club which just makes empty noises about promotion and one which says "This is where we want to go, this is how we'll get there and this is your part in it". Between approaching investors just asking for money and being able to present plans, budgets and timescales. |  |
