Jerseybean Posted April 13, 2019 Report Share Posted April 13, 2019 After their result today the team who have been in the Championship for the longest continual time are relegated. On a more positive note City still have 15 points to play for and a play off place to secure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midlands Robin Posted April 13, 2019 Report Share Posted April 13, 2019 18 months ago Ipswich fans were moaning like mad that Mick McCarthy wasn't turning them into potential Champions League winners. All the whinging and moaning contributed to him moving on and the following season they're relegated. I suppose the fans got their wish and the board found a setup that could get the club out of the championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New Dazzler Posted April 13, 2019 Report Share Posted April 13, 2019 It is an amazing fact that next season will be the first time they have played outside the top 2 tiers of English football since 1957. Not bad for a relatively small town, and they have won the old 1st Division, FA Cup and EUFA Cup. Plenty of big city clubs have graced the 3rd tier during that time, including Man City, Leeds, Forest, Villa, most of the current Premier League and Championship, even the mighty Bristol City!

Rudolf Hucker Posted April 13, 2019 Report Share Posted April 13, 2019 Their fans will be able to sample the delights of the Methanium next season and host the caravan of 15ers that will make their way eastward. Only then will Ipswich fans truly regret sacking Mad Mick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the whinging and moaning contributed to him moving on and the following season they're relegated. I suppose the fans got their wish and the board found a setup that could get the club out of the championship. I was talking to a father and son duo in Podgorica at the recent England game - they were diehard home and away Ipswich fans and hadn’t missed a game for years. Their complaints weren’t that Ipswich weren’t potential Champions League winners; their point was that the football under McCarthy had become mind numbingly dull to watch, and a large number of their fans had lost any enjoyment going to games. They were saying they’ve known since about September that they’re going down this season, that they can see what sort of a rebuilding job Lambert is trying to do (and are fully supportive of him), and are looking forward to visiting some new grounds and hopefully mounting a promotion challenge from league 1 over the next year or two. It raises a question as to whether you’d rather be in a higher league but with awful entertainment (how many City fans would take Pulis back if it guaranteed promotion to the premier league?), or take your chances in a lower league playing more entertaining football and having more enjoyable match days?

Swede Posted April 13, 2019 Report Share Posted April 13, 2019 Well they got what they wanted in getting rid of Mick. The owners just won't invest in the team. Like it or not McCarthy did an amazing job keeping them there. A chance now to get rid of a lot of dead wood, I think they'll come back stronger next season.

Redrascal2 Posted April 14, 2019 Report Share Posted April 14, 2019 Knowing some Ipswich fans, I think their demise is more to do with the owner not wishing to put money in to the team over a period of time than losing McCarthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
