Swede Posted December 2, 2021 Report Share Posted December 2, 2021 Oh dear. Can't say nobody on here didn't warn them. In fact most of their fans were dismissive and full of it. In case they still need reminding just look at the state those jokers have left our club in. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Its Smith Posted December 2, 2021 Report Share Posted December 2, 2021 Any proof this is true ? Apparently it’s a friend of the player involved so could well be BS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davefevs Posted December 2, 2021 Report Share Posted December 2, 2021 Their forum lays all the blame at Paul Cook. Although one or two are starting ask Qs about which ones were Cook signings and which ones were Ashton’s, especially the ones that don’t fit Cook’s de facto 4231. There’s a decent gap to the playoffs, and some relative big hitters above them. This is gonna be a weird Lg1 this season where there could be serious repercussions for a few teams that don’t go up. Only 3 can! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedRoss Posted December 3, 2021 Report Share Posted December 3, 2021 I know its popular here to blame MA for everything during and after his tenure (alot deserved) but I don't see how a random guy on Twitter has proved this even more?

I would hazard a guess that its more likely this random guy has no internal knowledge of team selection within Ipswich and we've jumped on the bandwagon. I just find it slightly weird the negative obsession with MA. Reminds me of the droves of bitter Barnsley fans who wanted nothing more than our downfall because of LJ. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davefevs Posted December 3, 2021 Report Share Posted December 3, 2021 I’m looking forward to their recruitment in January. Brought in 20 first teamers in the summer, yet want more. Some of those in the summer aren’t getting minutes, gonna be worse by end of January. Scattergun! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only 3 can! We know what we think happened in BS3 but as you say, Ipswich fans in the main love Ashton & see anyone from the West Country pointing this out as simply bitter & they are blaming Cook. I do think we have to all move on now, many of us believe he screwed us over & left Pearson (& to be fair Holden before him) a pretty shit deal. However the exodus of staff to Suffolk has presumably ceased & we need to rebuild. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The quote below is from an interview with him in September, saying he hopes that by January he will have put in place a larger recruitment department. “I can see, by Christmas, us having four or five people in that recruitment department who are both data driven and scouting driven. “They have to be of a certain type who understands what I want and what Paul wants and who can work with us to prepare plans for the future.” Note he specifically says “what I want”. No, it should be what Paul Cook wants. My only hope from this quote is that he would take Gilhespy and his gang up there Edited December 3, 2021 by Harry 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
