Everyone's entitled to air their opinion whether you agree or not - just don't read it / ignore it / block it if you don't agree with them - this country is fast turning into a dictatorship.

Scroll past motor mouths posts simple.

When you start using terms like “ so called real supporters “ to emphasise your point is when folk get p@&d off.
You’re entitled to your opinions but it’s the same old thing regurgitated, recycled and reposted on every thread.

Tim Berners Lee has a lot to answer for.

Really sad after all he's been through even though he will get a nice pay off. Met him a couple of times in a well known store in Ipswich (now closed) where his partner worked great bloke very modest and humble. Don't think he's the man for the Ipswich job though slightest thing go wrong and the vultures on here would be on his back he's out of his depth keeps changing the team and other pathetic quotes.

@alphawhisky

You see, it's the same people with the same nonsense, who have no response but to say dont read what the troll says or full of BS but nobody puts their point across on how they believe first of all why Mckenna still has credit when he on 6 mill a year and broke all the wrong records and why he is forgiven for an atrocious season
And how is he going to navigate past other Championship clubs also yrying to get to the Prem when he refuses to change tactics or players, and even if he did get us back to Prem which players are coming to be in a relegation battle and how does he compete? Especially as most of you seem to think our signings were awful, whose fault is that then? Basically it's another way of blaming Muric and Phillogene rather than Davis and Morsy or Mckenna.

Now you saying but we came up too early, well when ever we went up we were going to spend on ground, training etc.

You think all out good players will go because Mckenna was allowed to just spend 150 mill on signings but put 30 mill release clauses and relegation clauses in despite being nailed on favourites for relegation, so you don't think much of the club as a business, who just fritter money on useless talent

These signings you say we should of got, who? You say we have no overseas knowledge, had any of you heard of Cajuste?

If you going to do your lynch mob tactics on me at least one of you explain just why and how Mckenna is the man to bring stability to Ipswich Town in the Premier League.
He is lucky he stayed and very lucky not to be sacked, worst records, every other team sacked their managers some worked some never, but their club came first.
Too right fans at Leicester and Southampton walking out.

Vardy says we were atrocious but Hirst gives us this togerness and learning nonsense.

One of you give me, I don't know who the ringleader is, but just why is Mckenna the man and how do you all propose he is going to establish the team, get another promotion with the same players and the same system?

I guess Lee is a poor lonely soul with nothing better to do than spend his time moaning. I am 96y.o a supporter who has seen it all. It took both Ramsey(Superb coach but not Manager) and Robson built up their teams over several seasons McKenna ,hasn't had that time but has brought us up from the Wilderness ,Nor hadthe kind of money that the top clubs have he is learning his trade as we ALL have had to. the next 2 seasons will beeither make or break. .Just KEEP THE FAITH.

@alphawhiskey

Thankyou, at last a decent response with valid opinions to debate,not difficult it's a forum, I've never said I'm right it's just my opinion as I see it and the stats and facts show.

I gave a long post yesterday re Mckenna, is coaching has been good in League 1 and Championship but it doesn't work in Prem as results show, Delap was awesome in Championship 18 assists but he can't play that way in Prem because the athleticism of Prem wingers is to quick so it begs the question why Mckenna kept to that way of playing, is it arrogance, stubborness, I'm not sure if Davis is a defender for this division, I see no reason why Mckenna could not play Davis in front of Townsend so we weren't having to worry about him getting back I think Davis, Phillips and Cajuste could of been a strong mid, he hasn't tried anything.

I agree players he signed he convinced to come with Sheeran and Ashton which is why as I said yesterday I do not think there is release or relegation clauses for any of them and why I have a strong feeling/hope Mckenna and Ashton knew exactly what they were doing.

I think they accepted the likelihood of relegation so planned for next season in the Championship and planning ahead for the future by using the windfall to get the ground and training facilities Prem ready. I think they bought the proven best in Championship with the most prospects who could be moulded into the next phase and I think the players know it.
I think he had to play the journeymen from L1 and Championship and they deserved it but it also puy them in the ship window in the Prem so players like Davis or Hirst that we only paid a million or 2 for would now be worth 10-15 mill good profit for the club.
I actually think Delap stays I can't see Man City allowing him to go for 30 mill but I'm not so worried as anything will be pure profit and we will go and get another high prospect striker for 20 mill with Haj Wright my first choice if Coventry not promoted or Adebayo who we know scores in Prem. I also think we will offer good money for Championship midfielders with Finn Azaz I think the most easy to get as he is Republic of Ireland player so many team mates at Town already.
Cajuste we have I'm told option to buy if so we will certainly take that im sure.

The league one lads contracts either run out this summer or next and that's why I think we will cash in and its actually better for them but we do need a good squad not just first 11, so I could see Hirst, Chaplin, Broadhead staying if they are happy to not be first choice. So we do have all the tools from keeper to striker to ease promotion fron Championshipin 1 go with goals all over but I don't think we can do it with the players of the past some have to go.
If our squad stays fit it's a goal machine.
I do think loans has to be a few older heads, example Will Huges from Palace is out of contract, a no nonsense midfielder but I think Flynne Downes, Azaz or even Jobe Bellingham could all be possible. I think the next few months we will see the true plan of Mckenna and why they kept him and the above can be the only reason and they cleverly used this season for experience and to get the ground etc ready and buy players that without promotion we would never of got.

If Mckenna is not willing to change or adapt and goes then I think we have to get a manager with experience, I don't think we are going to have any issues going forward so that's why I think Dyche would be good, he is down to earth and a good manager but tells it how it is and is an honest manager. Knows how to win Championship etc just my opinion.

If Mckenna utilises his signings in their correct positions, sells the ones who have served us well then he has all the talent and foundations he needs but for me the Davis, Burns, Walton, Luongo, Morsy need to go unless Morsy is retiring then another season can't hurt with him.
I'm happy to see. We can all agree there will be goals next season I just hope we get business done quick so we can have a great pre season

I hope I'm right about Mckenna but I feel he is quite a woke manager, and more of a coach and likes analysing etc, I feel he is too soft to manage in Prem but let's see.
I dont see us getting another point this season and Leicester will go above us, unless we can get few injured back

If Mckenna should move on( but i hope he doesn't )then Tony Mowbray would be a good fit at Ipswich Town

Heartless Club - hope they lose every game next season.
Go to Hell West Brom.

As for McKenna ? - yet to prove he’s not just a One Trick Pony.
Will need to change !! - the Championship will be ready for him, and his one pattern of play !!!

Always been a massive mowbray fan but just because someone served us well as a player doesn't mean we should get them in as manager. Stick with Keiran thanks, let's not write him off just becasue he got relegated from the premier league (that he took us too where all else failed) in his 3rd full season ever as a manager.

@LJ99 - your first post is ridiculous in the extreme, didn't read any of the others, I've used up all my annual leave, so don't have time.

@PhilTWTD any chance of putting in a restriction on characters (like twitter, but maybe a bit more). I can't speak for everyone, but when I see the posts of a certain gent that are 8 paragraphs long and there are 10 of them in one article, I leave the site!

Gcon, it's a forum not a cult!
Just tedious bullying responses, your way or the highway. Disgusting abuse for having an opinion you don't like! The only club in the country that I can see who hates on their own fans and players and accepts dictatorship where only the opinion of the masses is allowed.

Just used the ignore button, I feel much better now!

It's good to block the 'you know who's' but you still have to read others responses to them lol.

Fair assessment, in general, Mariner1974, few bits that I wouldn't necessarily agree with but hey, opinions differ and that's life/football right.

It's fair to say a lot of the recruitment hasn't worked this year - Muric, no explanation required, the step up for the championship 'starlets' has been vast I.E Greaves/Clarke/Philogene, all way off it, and those already here have struggled, Omari just isn't a 10, and the Davis calls for England's LB answer were bizarre at the time but would be rightly ridiculed now, as defensively, he isn't at Prem level, not yet anyway.

I get we had to take a punt, and we'll be markedly stronger squad depth wise as we head into the Champ, but a few lessons will be learnt, fingers certainly burnt there and here's hoping the club looks to utilise the European transfer market next year, rather than being held bang to rights and paying inflated fees I.E adopting a Brentford,Brighton or Bournemouth recruitment stance, buy low, sell high, on the basis that we can source a few gems out there.

With Delap likely to go, recruitment needs to focus on:

Central Midfield - absolute priority, two new CM's is paramount; Luongo will go, Morsy i expect to start to be used a little more sparingly, Taylor is hit/miss and not someone we're going to build a promotion push on, and obviously the two loan lads will go back to their respective clubs. I like the Humphreys option as a squad player, but don't feel that he's strong enough to start.

Striker - either a starter or cover for Hirst, but please, no more Richard Kone shouts or 'we have Ali coming back' etc, we have clout now, we need to think bigger and bolder.

Everywhere else, we're fairly well equipped, in the 10 I'd use Szmodics/Chappers, wingers wise we're over subscribed if anything, CB's I expect a Greaves/O'Shea combination to be used with Woolfy supporting..

O'Shea is pivotol and captain in Morsy's absence, both short and long term.

Unsure on the RB stance if Axel leaves but we'll see what happens there I guess.

Anyway, roll on next season now - it's been a tough year, morale is down, but a good start next year and it'll return I'm sure.

*now. Fat fingers

Who you calling an idiot Skip73?
Does the forum need to know you booked my posts, no they didnt, just skip to the next post if you dont mind and skip back to the one sided opinion you came from.

Virginblue - done and thankyou sir.
