Rarely do fans have the chance to tell the story John Wark is an important Ipswich story and like Beatie the fans came first ! Badgers bank was important geographically as Belstead Brook hotel was loved by Sir Bobby Robson. So we lived In an area of fields but got to rub shoulders with Ipswich stars on a regular basis and this shaped our lives! |

John Wark moved into the new housing estate in Belstead in 1980. For the families such as Carnell, Needham, Snell, Plumb, Golden, Greene and Feathersotne this was a moment of paradise. John was not a neighbor who kept himself to himself he was outgoing, giddy. Friendly and fun. He embraced his local community and encouraged football in the street he lived. My memories are of Paul Mariner often visiting and John showing off his Zico shirt obtained via playing against Brazil in World Cup1982! I want to thank my father Peter, now 78 years old for his dedication to ITFC. He supported the Town for years and encouraged his boys Paul, Ross and Glenn to follow in the tradition. John inspired us a to support the town and we had a wonderful relationship with him and his son Andrew. John was mentally tough and gifted on the field but he was more than that. He was inspirational in the way he treated others, saw the world and arrived in the box when others weren’t watching . Thank You John Wark for wonderful memories ! |

I liked the film he did with Val Kilmer!! Everyone will focus on the Tarantino films. But for Fans of films like Red Rock West, then Kilmer/Madsen film is for you. |

I’ve seen Lewis play many times and he isn’t anywhere near the levels we need. No disrespect to him, wish him all the best but not with Ipswich ! |

MLS needs relegation, it’s being potentially phased in for 2027. MLS budget constraints also need to be loosened, so league can compete with Saudi. Standard is league 1 / Championship but improving year by year. |

Why would McKenna join Brentford ? They are selling their best players and the club is a dump! |
 | Forum Thread | Press and rumor mill at 15:17 3 Jun 2025
It’s 3 days into a long transfer window and already I’ve had enough of the media creating stories that are far fetched, inaccurate or misleading. Even our own fans get overly involved in the process. Perfect example was the amount of hype Bruno Fernandez move to Saudi Arabia received 48 hours ago. Podcasts, New Headlines, You Tube documentary and he basically had no intention to give it any thought. As Ipswich fans our club rarely tells us any news until it’s completed for obvious reasons. We should not give any time to rumor or paper-talk and refrain from trying to mislead each other on breaking stories that are not announced by the club. It’s madness and doesn’t help anyone. |

He is struggling to make an impact at MLS level. Atlanta play on astroturf which takes some getting used to and the team has got off to a poor start despite spending big this summer. His performances have been ok, he has scored some goals. But, I expected him to make a bigger impact. I would think this is paper-talk as he has just signed a long term deal. If unhappy in USA then it could be true. |

Man Utd management made players fly to Malaysia to play against Malaysian select 11 which they lost last night. Another game they failed to score. No wonder they want Delap to sign in 2 days ! They are desperate ! |

I can’t believe Ipswich fans would want to see McKenna go. He is a quality manager and will be hard to replace. |
