Where has Milne been? More spin. Focussing on Newcastle. Ignoring the rubbish. This nonsence that Evans puts lots of money in is just that. Unless the owner can invest significantly in the playing squad, we are going nowhere. The fact the owner supports MM is remarkable. Shocking.

It's time to cancel season ticket ... Sadly.

Rebuilding? As usual these planks will sit back and see what players get better offers elsewhere! How proactive! Therefore we are safe to assume our club again will not be competitive!
Evans continues to pump 6-7 million into club! Don't expect anything else or more, better still ,acknowledge his Lordship, our saviour, messiah blah blah blah!
Dear Rotherham United, please excuse us, but McCarthy needs your 'better' players next season, you know, the one's who helped you finish the season in strong position 24th!
Tony Blair once said 'things can only get better '....we all know how that ended!

The money Evans pays as sponsor should not be included in his £6 million as this could be gained elsewhere , with the fees we have received for players far out weigh what we have spent , wages are like for like with players leaving , our squad is no bigger now than it has been so more rubbish from the club . The biggest thing to get more ticket sales would be getting rid of MM as 5 would be purchased here straight away

To the Pompey Chimes.......

BULLSHYTE.... BULLSHYTE........

BULLSHYTE.......BULLSHYTE......

Garbage words from one of a few muppets at this club!

Milne / Mick / Marcus out!

YAWNNNNNNN...............Heard it all before. In truth, we'll sell Bart and make do on the scraps, AGAIN!

I can handle not much money being spent, I think good quality players are available at decent prices you just have to find them, i have no issues with that philosophy whatsoever -
what i can't handle is lining up with 3 defensive midfielders at home to Rotherham, setting up for draws and being so so negative it bores me to the point where i'd rather pluck my balls with a rusty pair of tweezers than go to a game.

I could also do without being told Jonathan Douglas is 'different class' Cole Skuse is 'Premier league standard' and Dean Gerken is 'fantastic' along with pretty much anything Ian Milne says on the subject of spending money on transfers because, frankly actions speak louder than words and i'm only likely to believe any of the above if i'd been heavily sedated.

I wish they would stop talking about things and just bloody well get them done

I have an idea how to raise attendance Mr Milne, sack the dinosaur and get someone in that can coach a team that can pass a ball and doesn't play with 7 defensive players... just a suggestion but what do I know.

How he has the nerve to sit in that chair and boardroom in front of that picture is beyond me.

It was hard to suppress a cynical smirk when I read the "massive investment" phrase in the above headline as we have been here before under the present owner, not least at the beginning of last January. That striker never did materialize.

I reckon that we will have a firm idea how the coming season will pan out by the end of this July and before a ball has been kicked in anger. I hope I am wrong but must confess that I'm not holding my breath

More BS. Evans has invested approx net £Nil over last 2/3 seasons. Presume interviewer has no balls to pull him up on this.

I really don't care how much "rebuilding" is done, because until that foul-motor mouthed, arrogant, self obsessed idiot has left our club, I wont be returning to Portman Road, end off.....

Just do one Milne

We have the arrogance of MM
The invisibility of ME
And the never ending spouting of utter b0110x from IM

We are so lucky !!!

I'm sorry but the club has been nothing but a joke since Evans took over, I can see he thought we were a sleeping giant but his decision making on management has been nothing short of farcical. Taking a punt on a young and upcoming manager is a huge risk and all other managers have been a bit of a joke to be honest especially the Dark Lord!!!!
I wish I thought Milne meant his words, but I fear the same sh*t, different season next year. The fans deserve better.

'The basis of the squad is good'. What planet is he on? 45 games do not lie! 1 good result against Newcastle? Please get real! Evans has no feeling for the club or no understanding of the true meaning of football culture. McCarthty is arrogant in the extreme and well past his sell by date. Sorry while the current regime is in place then it downhill all the way!!! Oh the new strip will make all the difference!!!!

I actually feel sorry for Milne, I hope he gets paid well because being the fall guy for Evans is not worth a triple lottery win in my opinion! He is either very rich, very brave or very stupid?

R.I.P. Ipswich Town FC under this current owner and manager.

ME......IM .......MM........TC. 》》》》》》 SOD OFF THE LOT OF YOU!

They know exactly how many ST's have been renewed, they just don't want to admit how poor the total is.
If you consider that theyve been claiming 15,000 have been there all season when there's only really been about 13,000, that's 2,000 ST holders per game not showing up, probably on a rotational basis so it's more likely to be 2,500 who have picked and chose their games to attend.
If they all cancel plus about another 1,000 the total will be about 8,000. Add away fans and match day sales and they will be lucky to be running out infront of 10,000 every single game.
It's a mess, a huge mess and the only way they will get those people back me included would be to sack MM, and give the job to a young manager with a footballing philosophy, they then need to extend the early bird deadline.
If they don't then I can only see us doing a Coventry next season

The time for talking is over.

While this article obviously mostly evolves around 'Immaculate Ian's' latest conceivable Public Relation AZzz STUNT! :-), my post here is actually more of a carry-on or carry-over from the 'Bart POTYA' article's mind-boggling MM related contains ... and thus predominantly specially directed to our very own prehistoric museums-ready Dino :-) who imho completely indefensible at this very date & at this very hour is still holding the job as our once proud & revered football club's manager:


"Dearest" Mick
By complete chance I just earlier this evening had myself a little phone-chat with a dear literally & seriously OLD friend of mine which just happens to also be a genuine (former) amateur football historian (In fact back in the 90's when I saw him or talked to him regularly me & my homiez use to refer to him as our very own around-the-corner oddballing 'Walking Talking Football Encyclopedia! lol) .... so as our otherwise private conversation was drawing to an end I simply couldn't help or restrain myself from posing him this very "hot" locally in Suffolk related pair of football question:

1) Could he possibly recall ANY other supposedly top professional (i.e. minimally in tier 1 or tier 2) team manager here in the UK or abroad for that matter who previously while officially still holding his job position had referred in public to his own club's so very existential fans as: "F@CKERS"???

2) Could he possibly recall ANY other supposedly top professional (i.e. minimally in tier 1 or tier 2) team manager here in the UK or abroad for that matter who previously while officially still holding his job position had proclaimed in public (as MM just very 'delicately' did at the Supporters Club's Player of the Year Award): "I will be back here next year, even if that's **JUST TO** annoy the people who don't like me!!!"

Deep within I had really really hoped he would come up with some wildly obscure & little known Pre WW2 or even Pre WW1 example(s) ... but not too surprisingly he was actually first clearly **speechless** for several seconds -- exactly like so many of us ITFC fans probably were when first we heard about these Dino statements -- before semi-jokingly asking me how many real seconds on the proverbial egg-timer he had to rumage through his old memory bank (a la in 'Jeopardy' or 'Who wants to be a Milionaire' etc.) ... before he about a minute later eventually declared he was utterly & complete blank = NOOOOO such precedents that he himself could recall!

Now this here little cutish personal tale & test quite obviously doesn't exclude that there really has been any such precedents among said 'Supposedly top professional team managers' (my friend here is real old as I said and by no means what I would call an 'All Knowing' entity particularly at this real advanced stage of his life) but somehow with all that I myself have ,seen ,heard, read & otherwise know about the game of football I personally strongly doubt it! ... meaning that UNTIL I learn otherwise then : Congratulation Master Mick! You have just twice now in this month alone made extreme NEGATIVE football history!!!

Soooo ehmm how do you (and ME!) feel about exactly this here above-mentioned and particular latest ultra disrespectful behavior towards this club's fans or if you prefer: SIZABLE "chink in the Dino's armor" Mr. Milne, you wunderschön equal part clueless equal part deluded "Snake Oil Salesman Extraordinaire"??? LMAO!


Ohhh and Mick "dearest" here is a mucho interesting book I very very very very much recommend you read during the off-season, especially IF you really do return to work "as normal & and as if nothing ever happened" lol here at ITFC once the summer holiday period is over .... Why you might ask??? Well your ultra luuuuvable self-perceive genius ehmmm considering that very latest unmistakable '2-fingers-up' at us the very existential to the club ITFC fans i.e. the beyond nice "I will be back! Even if that's just to **ANNOY** the people who don't like me!", the very title of book itself should hopefully make it crystal clear as to why I (and probably **THOUSANDS** of other of our fed-up fans) could easily find it to be so recommendable reading for your special dinosauric eyes:



:-) :( :-) :(

Wow, the entire interview suggests a MD who doesn't have much of a clue regarding any aspect of the club. Doesn't know the level of future finance available , doesn't know how many season tickets have been sold, and apparently addidas dictate to their paying customers rather than the other way round! Hasn't exactly got his finger on the pulse has he?

Part of any rebuilding is having the materials to do it with, and usually people who know what to do with those materials. At the moment we have neither.

Our club would make a for a perfect episode of 'Rogue Builders' (if not Laurel and Hardy) with Evans being the elusive 'builder' trying to dodge the cameras.

Evans, Milne & McCarthy Builders and General Bodgers

Simply the (Leon) Best

and would you mind removing that picture from the wall behind you, you have no right to associate yourself with an era when the club was manged properly!

When will ME speak directly to the press/fans and not through Milne? We are without a leader at the top, not surprising then that the rest of the club is in disarray!

Evans, Milne & Mick out!

Looking at 'ticket pricing' - why do I get the feeling that season ticket holders will regret renewing ? Why do I get the feeling that the Club will treat them with contempt now they have committed ?
