GO’N: “I know I have picked the perfect club”…. WTF? 06:40 - Jul 9 with 3652 viewsITFC_Forever

Black mark in my book already, him saying that he deigned to give us his time….

Be grateful we picked you!

Edit: That might not have been a quote from GO’N, Stu’s headline wasn’t 100% clear.

Actually, you could be right…. Stuart Watsons’ headline on Twitter wasn’t 100% clear.

Don't worry. Keep going. You'll find something you can eventually beat him with.

So just to be clear there is a black mark already over Emersonn because HE has "designed to give us his time"?

Even if that comment had been from O’Neil, your reaction is incredibly arrogant. What would in any weird reality be wrong with (for example), O’Neil making the comment after being with the club for a couple of weeks that he had experienced so much good stuff that he was totally convinced he’d made a good decision? Yes, we choose to offer him the position. He still had to choose to accept. Only once inside could he be sure it was a good decision.

Trying to make a stick to beat the new manager over a (misattributed) quote like this gives a horrible glimpse into how some fans must have it in for O’Neil before he’s even started his tenure at Town.

You've made yourself look a right t!t here in many ways.

Well done.

You've made your mind up about ONeil before we've even kicked a (pre season) ball so it's noted your opinion will be meaningless.

Not going to lie, I’m not convinced by his appointment.

But you’re right, we all should give him a chance to prove himself, me included.

OK, you misinterpreted the headline but even if that was the headline and a quote from O'Neil, so what? He said he'd had offers from other clubs, was in a good job in France so it's quite legitimate for him to say that anyway. It's clear you're just waiting for him to slip up before a ball has been kicked isn't it? All a bit sad if you're hoping it all goes wrong for him here. If it does, it's gone wrong for Ipswich Town, there's the rub fans should not forget.

Reading a lot into statements by new managers or players is a bit pointless anyway. In most cases they are not going to say the truth, which is "this club was willing to pay me more than another" or in some cases, certainly during our Evans era, "this is the club willing to employ me". They are not going to divulge too much. It's some words for a press release. Utterly meaningless. It's all PR speak, of course they are going to say good things when coming in. I don't know why anyone pays any real attention to it.

'I know I have picked the perfect club'

"Gary O'Neil is delighted #itfc were able to beat stiff competition to the signing of Emersonn."

Then the picture attached to it says "'I know I have picked the perfect club' - Emersonn on choosing Ipswich over others." I'm not sure what's not clear here!

Trust the process. Trust Phil.

Even if this was O'Neil who said it, it's a perfectly normal thing to say? Like any job, it works both ways - the employer picks you, but you also pick the employer.

Never bite the hand that feeds you.

Make yourself the ONLY football voice at Ashton FC. Use that position to enhance your career prospects after football. Throwing OUR beautiful club under the bus, with lies healed upon lies - guess Kemi and Keir will visit after the Lazio friendly.

Ashton OUT. For football reasons though, he has the talent ID skills of Blind Date (one for the kids).

Plenty of words in capitals to emphasise the point. My goodness it helps me get that understanding of what you are trying to say with each incisive post. Us intellectual lightweights need all the help we can get.

Mind you, it’s a very short post compared to your usual efforts. Are you unwell still?
