at 14:37:02

Although TWTD readership may not be completely representative of Town supporters, the past two end-of-season TWTD questionnaires have put supporters in favour of standing areas at 73% - around three-quarters of respondents. The club needs to listen to this.

What is Going on With the Academy at Ipswich Town?
at 21:08:53

When Town failed the audit in 2014, Milton said the cost of category one status is Â£2.5 million, with a Â£750,000 grant from the Premier League; so costing overall Â£1.75 million a year.

Milne this year claimed that it cost category one status clubs Â£4-5 million to maintain this status, due to the goalposts having been moved. Milne claimed that not only did clubs have to provide category one status facilities, but also for the facilities to compete with other category one status academies (hence the extra cost), these being Premier League clubs and a few Championship clubs.

It seems without significant investment from the owner, Town aren't prepared to meet these costs unless they're a Premier League team.

McCarthy has already shown he knows how to get the best out of a limited squad and playing effective football to get results. Let him do the managing.
