Ashton: Training Ground and Category One Academy Priorities Following New Investment
at 23:05:52

KMc will do what he thinks is right for his career and his family. If Brighton or West Ham come in with a big fat offer then I would expect him to go.

Young Duo on Trial at QPR
at 15:40:45

Last summer I was on a work related course in an hotel on the Loughborough University campus. The West Ham u-18s were there as well. The hotel had been instructed to put out lots of healthy eating options for them, which they did, but all the lads were interested in doing was shovelling crisps, fizzy drinks and cake down their gobs. Their coaches were no better. I hope that this youngster has more self-discipline.

Ipswich Town 3-2 Bristol City - Match Report
at 08:55:00

A wonderful win, but another two goals conceded at home. That means that we have now conceded 29 goals from 18 home matches, an average of 1.6 per game. Only Plymouth have a worse record, even the teams in the relegation spots are letting in fewer.

I hope that we are promoted, but I fear what will happen if we are and the defence is not improved substantially.

European Clubs 'Monitoring' Hutchinson
at 12:01:24

It is said (denied by them) that Chelsea need to raise £100 million by the end of June to comply with their financial fair play requirements. Selling home grown players is important as the fee is treated as pure profit.

McKenna: My Full Focus and Commitment is On Town
at 16:24:05

I was watching a YouTube video recently and a football finance expert pointed out that Leicester have their squad valued on their books at £400 million whilst Ipswich have spent £10 million.

Look, KMC is like the rest of us. If he is offered promotion to a Prem Club with all its resources and a huge increase in wages then he will go; wouldn’t you?

We will just have to get on with it and find a new manager (just like Brighton do).

Town Confirm Al-Hamadi Signing
at 09:15:39

I welcome him to Suffolk and I hope that he has a long and fulfilling career with us.

However, whilst he has potential it is just that; potential. We need someone who can do a job for us NOW. It is a long step up from League Two.

Ipswich Town 1-2 Maidstone United - Match Report
at 16:14:17

Well done Maidstone.

They defended in depth and hit us on the break twice; limited football, but very effective.

Our system needs a target man: Hirst is too injured, Aluko too old, Buabo too raw and Ladapo too on loan to another club. We need at least one signing.

Bid Lodged For Al-Hamadi, New Offer For Gallagher Turned Down

£2 million is a lot of money for a lad who has played just one season for Wimbledon plus a few games for Wycombe and Bromley.

Gallagher Move Stalls
at 09:46:19

For:
Tall
Strong
Experienced Championship player
Hard-working.

Against:
Significant (by our standards) fee
High wages (we are subject to FFP)
Poor goal scoring record, just 32 goals in 157 games for Blackburn (comparisons with Hirst in exact as Hirst was a young player in his first Championship season)
Older than we would usually go for, so little prospect of a sell on fee
Just back from a significant injury

Mowbray: I Think Stansfield Wants to Stay Here
at 09:35:36

Get off the lad’s back!

He is a Fulham employee on loan to Birmingham. He is only 21 and may never have been to Ipswich in his life. He will have to do what Fulham want. If being happy at Birmingham simply means that he is not trying to cause trouble to get a move then that is a good thing.

Town Confirm Sarmiento Loan Signing
at 17:05:00

Has anyone watched the Blue Monday podcast on potent centre forward targets? It is very interesting, but none of the names mentioned really appealed to me.

There was one name that occurred to me that they didn’t mention; Josh Sargent (Norwich). He is 23 and 6 foot 1 tall, he has Championship experience scoring goals in a poor He is quick and powerful. Would Norwich sell? They have large debts, a high cost base and diminishing parachute payments. According to TNC podcast, the Norwich hierarchy has given up on this season.

Town Confirm Sarmiento Loan Signing
at 14:26:19

It was said before the window that we had some room within FFP for signings. All we have done since then is to swop Scarlett for Scarmiento, so we should still have some room. Obviously, it will be difficult to compete with the parachute clubs for players.

Len Brennan; agree that Charlie Hughes sounds like a quality young player, but he is under contract until 2028 and so would be difficult/expensive to prise away.
