Kuqi: I Hope the Day Comes When I Manage Town
Wednesday, 24th Apr 2019 15:49

Former Blues striker Shefki Kuqi has reiterated his desire to manage Town at some point in the future.

Kuqi, who has had spells in charge of clubs in his adopted home Finland, FC Honka, PK-35 and Inter Turku, applied for the Portman Road job when it became vacant a year ago when he outlined his plans for the club in an interview with TWTD but wasn't interviewed for the role.

Speaking on talkSPORT this morning, Kuqi expressed his disappointment at seeing the club he represented between 2003 and 2005 and then again in a loan spell in 2008 relegated to League One.

“It’s really sad,” the Kosovo-born frontman said. “You see those fans, I had a really good relationship with all of them. Ipswich, what’s happened to them is really sad.

“It’s a great club and, of course, I always said that one day I would love to be there and work because I think nowadays you have to understand the environment and the surroundings of the club.

“And that club I know inside out, I know the training ground and I know the people there, I know everything about that club so I hope one day that day comes.”

Asked if the Blues fans were the best he played in front of during his career, he added: “I think because I stayed there the longest and I think I scored the most goals in my career at one club for them, they were great.”

I really cannot believe what I am reading here, " give lambert a chance " he managed a club that has been relegated to League One, I have not been to see the Town this season as I could not bring myself to watch the apparent dross that I read about and watch on TV. Lambert has a worse record than Hirst, people bang on about he can only work with what he has inherited do you think he will get any better financial support next season? in League One, no, something has gotta change, otherwise we will be having the same posts and conversations this time next season. Dark days ahead im afraid.

Any suggestions Dunstableblue? He may not have been able to keep us up but what else could he have done? Remember he achieved back to back promotions from lge 1, find another manager with that on his CV and fickle fans would be crying out for him to join us!
