Comment | Forest 'Close to Agreeing Hutchinson Fee'
at 21:49:17
What a load of whiny ignorant posts. Do any of you actually know what the relationship is between this young player and his manager. It has been obvious to anyone with half a brain that he is a talent that should be at a premiership club. He will aspire to that and after a great Euros he deserves that. He served us well and we shouldn’t turn on him just because he aspires to be the best he can be.
From the clubs perspective we have recognised the inevitable. There is no mileage in making life difficult for him, or trying to block his move. The club simple need to recognise the inevitable and maximise their return. We appear to have done exactly that.
Football is a very hard nosed business, players get chewed up and spat out yet some of you seem to demand absolute loyalty from a young ambitious player.
Get real! |

Comment | Azón 'Won't Sign For Town'
at 16:50:57
Remember this is what a reporter has said is his position. Added to that the comments as reported, and if made, have been translated from Spanish to English.
Plenty of scope there for misrepresentation and clickbait. |

Comment | Town Look to Gazump Birmingham's Akpom Deal
at 12:49:29
What a lot of negative drivel there is on here about us not signing anyone and being in chaos etc.
Our expectations and targets have changed under this ownership and management and we expect to be challenging for promotion. As such we will be targeting players capable of playing in the Premiership and/or capable of helping us get there.
The sort of player we will look to sign will also be on the radar of Premiership sides and these players will be keeping their options open in the hope of getting a premiership contract. As the premiership dust settles near the end of the window we will know who is available and until then we probably cant do as much as we might like. We can make the odd signing from the non premiership pool in the hope that they come good but we are looking for better than that.
The likes of Norwich for example can make their signing now because they will be fishing in the Championship/Lg 1 pool of players. These are players who have no hope of getting a contract with a premiership or top championship side.
Im sure we have a list of potential targets who might be available subject to variables as above. Trust the management - they have served us well since they came in. |

Comment | Hutchinson and Davis Miss Out at Auxerre
at 17:07:21
2024 or it could be that Town don’t want to risk an injury when they are set to receive up to £40mill
Truth is we don’t know so your negative uninformed guesses are worth diddly squat |

Comment | Hutchinson Starts Against Forest
at 15:12:18
Nowt so queer as football fans - end of last season and beginning of this many folk on here were calling for Lief to be first choice for England! Now he’s not up to defending in the prem.
Sums up why Kieran has to ignore the noise! |

Comment | Oliver to Referee at Portman Road
at 07:16:07
All refs will get decisions wrong from time to time. The card has been overturned. The one question outstanding for me is whether the VAR officials should be sanctioned for not correcting the error. |

Comment | Town Turn Down Boro Edmundson Bid
at 17:18:17
I’m always surprised when fans refer only to a stated transfer fee and comment on perceived vale. The annual cost to the buying club will be transfer fee amortised over the contract plus annual salary. If Boro wait until the end of the season they will be able to offer him a higher salary, however, they would risk him signing for another club offering more. If Boro secure him now they will in effect see off interest from other clubs. Our leverage lies in testing how much Boro are willing to pay in order to secure him now. |

My impression is that when someone makes a statement on a discussion forum, followed by “end of” it generally means they have offered no evidence or logic to their argument. |

Comment | Woolfenden Skippers as Town Make 10 Changes
at 15:04:45
I disagree scoops. The ref has had a good game - stayed in the background and generally let the game flow. Not easy to balance expectation of non league and premiership players as to what is and what isn’t a foul. |

Comment | Ipswich Town 0-4 Newcastle United - Match Report
at 21:22:33
Ok it was a bad day at the office but some of the comments on here are simply unreal.
Newcastles wage bill is at almost £100 mill pa almost exactly three times ours at £33mill.
Our £33mill is the lowest budget in the prem by some margin. The next two are Brentford £41.5 mill and Wolves £53 mill!
For us to finish anywhere other than 20th will be quite an achievement for all concerned.
Facts however will not deter the entitled and the boo boys.
True supporters should appreciate the progress that has been made and (relegation or not) the platform that is being built. |

Comment | Ipswich Town 0-1 Crystal Palace - Match Report
at 22:49:21
Tonight was disappointing. Palace are a decent mid table premiership side. We looked flat which is hardly surprising given the lack of depth in our squad and the fact that the initial euphoria on the return to the prem has worn off.
Keeping everything in perspective any side that has to bring on Ali as a sub up front in the prem is going to struggle. He needs a season or two in a lower league.
It will be a minor miracle if we can stay up and get another transfer window in which to strengthen the squad. |

Comment | Latte Lath Not Travelling With Boro But Broja More Likely Option For Town
at 18:43:04
If Kieran really wants Borja then I would like to see him sign. If he is likely to be out for a few weeks, two of which are cleared for international games, I would not be too concerned. Hirst is due back soon in any event so it’s not as if we would be without a choice at centre forward.

Comment | McKenna: Broja Discussions Ongoing
at 11:08:24
Calm down guys. The point is that Town have identified something that might possibly be an issue. As a result they will be carrying out due diligence and will make sure to have some sort of insurance in place to cover risk. There is absolutely no way they, or the insurers, will leave themselves open to having to pay £30 mill for an injured player.
On the positive note we might be more likely to secure the player on a better deal than originally envisaged. |

Comment | Town Confirm Clarke Signing
at 20:26:57
It’s interesting to note that with these two signings our probable first eleven is likely to include very few of those players who gained us the double promotion. Harsh but that’s the reality.
It will take a little while for the new boys to bed in so it’s not worth getting overly down about results against Liverpool and City. From my perspective we just need to enjoy the journey, hope we can survive this year and then consolidate next year. |
