Q1. So what experience do you have of running a football club at any level? Q2. Before hiring Roy Keane what research did you do "inside football" to determine whether or not this was a good idea? Did his references suggest he has any man management skills for example? How much was raising the profile of Marcus Evans a factor? Q3. Most top managers started by managing at a grassroots/low level. RK has no such experience. Were you concerned by this? Q4. You said that "high performance sport" is in your DNA. Do you know what is in "the DNA" of Ipswich Town and its supporters? Q5. What sort of message does the sale of Jordan Rhodes give to the Academy and the Club's supporters - for whom developing our own players and giving them a chance is an important part of the Club's culture? Q6. We now have an owner, chief exec and manager without any previous connection with the Club or the local area or the Club's culture and traditions. Are you concerned this might contribute towards many fans feeling increasingly disconnected from the Club? How is this addressed in your business model? Q7. Advance single match ticket prices have been increased. Also, a spur of the moment buyer "on the day" has to pay more. What is the justification for this? In a recession is this sensible? |  | |

Clegg is a top bloke, but please don't waste your pixels writing questions on here, go to the meeting and ask the man, but remember it is an AGM and there is an agenda. |  | |

Q8. We have a 30k stadium that is usually only two thirds full. Norwich get better crowds than us and they are considered to be badly run, have few decent players and are in League 1. Does your "business model" have any ideas for increasing attendances? Although RK has complemented the fans, maybe 30,000 would do even better? Might reducing prices be an idea? Q9. At what point do you tell RK he has to make do with the players he has rather than buying more? |  | |

People get a grip!!! Do you honestly think Clegg will answer any questions on here? Some Ipswich fans are never happy! Rome was not built in a day! |  | |

Further to some of the comments above, questions can be submitted beforehand to the email address in the story. While there is an agenda, it won't take up much of the overall evening with the main focus on Simon Clegg and the member of the coaching staff. |  | |

onlybluesandhorses.......absolutley pertinent questions that hit straight into the hearts of all true supporters. Personally, I feel that Keane was brought on board solely to raise the profile of the club and the question for me is, when do Evans and Clegg accept their mistake and rectify it? It would be far more professional to take the tough decision now and address the issue, rather than just letting things continue like this. If Evans' business was suffering, i'm bloody well sure the issue would be addressed immediately and the necessary action taken immediately. |  | |

Joe Royle used to say that you do not look at the table until the end of October. Well that is at the end of this week after the Derby game, our 15th. Even if we win, we will be left with getting 39/40 points from 31 games just to stay up. Just as Gorman was brought in to help Jim, it looks like Taylor, or someone else with much more experience, will be brought in. This will be a ME decision. While RK might seem like someone who does not want to be dictated to he will have no option. If he leaves now his managerial career is at an end. ME will not want to be associated, along with his business, with failure, so our current form cannot be allowed to continue. Up to the end of the year we then have another 9 games. We will have played 24 out of 46. If things have not improved by then, say we only have 18 points, that will be the time to panic and for maybe a change to be made. |  | |
