Please not Curbishley!! All the personality of a brick wall and
our supporters are too impatient to give him the 10 years he'd need to achieve anything! Jewell wouldn't be the worst person in the world. Lets not forget, he'd been out out of the game nearly 3 years when he took over at Wigan and look what he did there.

Actually, make that Wilkins and Zola together.

coppell would be first choice for me
o'driscoll second
tisdale is fair call but big jump for him
hoddle is happy nurturing young talent in spain
phil brown now at preston
eddie howe now taken
but we all know clegg and evans now burger all about football so we prob end up with worst manager ever to work in english football, who is of couse smeghead megson

Not Megson no no no!

whoever it is,we must be patient,and back them fully.on a personal note, i would love curbishly,but i suspect it's going to be jewel who i have a bad feeling about ! but then i hoped and thought that keane would get us up!so what doi know COYB!!!!

LOOKS LIKE EVERYONE IS AGREED ON THE NEW MANAGER!!!!!

11 pages of tosh doesn't bode well for 100% support for the new man!!!

1. chris hughton
2. alan curbishley
The top 2 for me

1 Curbs and Holland
2 Hoddle and Jesus

Curbs

were not going to see managers like hodgson or jol at ipswich, but curbishley or hughton would be a huge succes to have at our club

(On 7 January 2011, the dismissal of Roy Keane as Ipswich Town manager sparked reports that Jewell was about to be appointed manager of the Suffolk club after two years out of the game.[24])

This has been put on Under Paul Jewell On wikipedia. Ive been looking at his record and it aint bad people. 4 promotions and only 1 relegation.

Bradford - Promotion to prem and survived, was given good money at the time to achieve this. Then resigned

Sheffield Wednesday - Mid table, Club in debt. Sacked

Wigan - 2nd season Promoted from old division 2 to div 1, 3rd season pipped to a play off place 1st season in division 1, 4th season and 2nd in divison 1 gained promotion to the premiership and survied in his 5th season. He then resigned.

Derby County - Relegated From the premiership on 11 points, however billy davies was part of that season. He then finished 18th in the championship and then resigned after a 1-0 defeat to ipswich on the final game of that 2008 season.

Not a bad record at all people. I cant see why people are soo pesimistic about him or any 1 one. You wanted keane gone he has so be happy who ever we get. I personally think jewell will do a good job and does have a proven track record at this level apart from when at derby, howver they had no money. He seems to do well with a club who has a bit of money and tends to buy well so that looks promising and given the time and money he will keep us away from relegation + next year give a promotion push. 4 promotions and 1 relegation form the prem is a good record like it or not.

So there you go Jewell Would definatley not be as bad as a few make out him to be infact he cud be quite good. Him, Curbishley or Houghton would all be good appointments. Like some have said ill be right behind the new man who ever it is as its a new club new start for us n the manager whether good at another club or not. So whatever happens COYB!

A good example that its a fresh start for the manager too, is Ian Holloway; at leicester got the relegated and then went to Blackpool got them promoted so whoever it is give em a chance PLEASE!!

FFSAKE!!! NOT Curbishly, Allardayce, Jewell- all play the Keane way!!!

1. O'Neil
2. O'Driscoll
3. Burley/ Butcher

The Ipswich way please!!!!!

Houghton or poyet would be 1st choice but can't see it O'dris from donny would be nice but not happening .. so guess were gonna get jewell or curbs ... As long as it ain't Megson!!

the tea lady ?

Paul Mariner
David Geddes
Brian Talbot

- all managers or coaches

Lambert would be ace

Alan Curbishley, with Matt Holland as No.2.

that dutch geezer with the dreads

be able to have a good kip at PR if Curbs comes in ,Please lets have a manager with a bit of life, and team that plays football.

if we are only replacing keane then an empty brown paper bag will suffice but really the whole point of getting rid of him is not to replace him

Alf-Inge Haaland?!

Megson - Looks, charisma and style. Also played in East Anglia and therefore knows the rural life.

Martin O'Neil or Terry Butcher
Butcher has done a great job at ICT, but it sounds like the deal is already done for Jewell. I would be happy with that, if the rumours are true.

I'd love to see Curbs and Holland double act or Coppell (apart from not too sure what happened at Bristol City). But what he did at Reading in the season they went up was incredible. would love to see us playing the ball on the deck again!
