My goodness today's news stories are boring. Cmon Phil, where is the hot gossip on transfers.

Good luck to the man, but I don't sit at work all day for this sort of news. Back to work then.

You can tell him that we have previously been managed by a member of the Royle Family.

Today. Such as? And dint say sign players? Or do you actually think he does all that on his own? In which case why do we bother having a recruitment team. Im sure he can spare a few hours of his time for this. Or do you think he should reject an invitation from the king?

Hard to deny the impact Mark Ashton has had on making the club the centre of the Ipswich and Suffolk community once more, not to mention founding the Lentonbrook Foundation. I'm not a royalist by any stretch of the imagination but as a representative of the club, we should all take pride in his and our achievements in the short time since ITFC were reborn

Ask Charles why his property company refuses to pay tax on its profits.
Ask why he refused to pay tax on the £500m he inherited from his mum.

Maybe he can get King Charles to sponsor our shirts for that academy.

Horse Racing, concerts, Boxing…, I can see why he hasn’t had a day off since West Ham.

Maybe hire some staff…, or come clean with fans that we’re up for sale, and that’s therefore difficult.
