On a slightly different note, the best midfield value for money deal ever must be Bobby Robson selling Brian Talbot for I think £450,000 and using that money to buy Muhren and Thijssen, and getting change! |

Disappointed to see Burgess leave but can’t blame him. Yes some of the “band of brothers” are being replaced now. Hopefully it’ll be evolution and not revolution and many of our most successful side in years will remain. We need Baggott to stay clear of injuries and prove to be an able left footed deputy to Greaves. He looked decent on his few appearances for us, but his fitness let him down on his loan move. |

Too much speculation on here. I can’t see McKenna leaving us for a side that has reached its max potential. He’s already stated he’s staying. Only a so called big club would tempt him, and pretty sure that’s not going to happen |

He did brilliantly for Wycombe, but that was League One. It's a pity he wasn't loaned out to a Championship club last season, then we might know a bit more about his level. Don't doubt his ability, but concerns about the physical side of his game. I hope we keep him in our squad next season. He may not be a first choice starter, depending on who else we recruit, but by the bleak mid winter, injuries, suspensions, I reckon we'll be glad to have him. |

Trying not to be condescending but probably failing. Watching this and the standard we were at just a couple of years ago. Unbelievable. We're light years ahead of this now. Despite the horrible season we've had, it's amazing progress we've made. |

Reply | Delap to Arsenal ?
at 07:27 8 May 2025
The £30m release clause probably didn't seem such a poor decision at the time. Remember that Delap had just moderate success on loan in the Championship, in a season blighted by injury. A raw talent, very much unproven. Indeed, if Hirst had been fit at the start of the season, Delap likely wouldn't have been first choice. [Post edited 8 May 7:31]

Reply | Most confident going into a new season?
at 20:51 30 Apr 2025
I’m confident. In all our many seasons as a championship club, we did not have the advantages we do now. Joe Royle did a great job, whilst all around him was falling apart due to administration and selling our best players. Marcus Evan’s took over the club, but had no clue about running it. Eventually he became disillusioned or disinterested and stopped investing. Big Mick McCarthy against all the odds, got us in the playoffs in a great season. Remember Murph’s 27 goals. But when he needed it Marcus failed to invest. Now we have fantastic owners, great infrastructure, parachute money, and hopefully McKenna. It was never better for us in the Championship. |

Purely on finances alone, I expect Southampton & Leicester to be our main promotion rivals. I'm hoping Sheff Utd go up through the playoffs, as they will still have parachute money. Can't see Wrexham being any better than mid table. Brum may make a push for play off places. Bristol City well financed and well managed by ex ITFC Liam Manning. |

As an old git, I just can't reconcile that Bournemouth, Brentford & Fulham are more attractive an opportunity than Ipswich. They may temporarily have better players, but ITFC are a bigger club. With the right structure and management we will eventually overtake them. |

I always remember Cruyff as coach at Barcelona. Played Lineker on the wing for a while. Utter rubbish there. Probably the best in his era in the 6 yard box but didn’t contribute too much else other than goals, goals, goals as a No. 9 |

Ah yes, that was a desperate time. I think Paul Jewell had just been sacked and we were managerless if memory serves me correctly. Probably one of the lowest moments in my time watching ITFC. [Post edited 21 Apr 12:20]

I thought Ashley Williams on MOTD was correct to point out Ipswich's weakness down our left. Leif Davis has been great in our promotion season with his wing play and assists, but always a bit suspect with his defensive game. With Jack Clarke on the left too, it was obvious we'd be exploited by Arsenal with the brilliant in form Sako. Contrast that with our right side, we have the excellent Tuanzebe and also Ben Johnson, both experienced defenders. [Post edited 21 Apr 12:05]

Although he'd never admit it in public, I suspect he wished he took the Brighton job. He'd likely now be a top 10 Premier League manager |
