Only played 25 games for them last season........hope he can stay fit this coming season. This is what I’ve heard from Ipswich supporting mate. Brilliant player but only played half of the last two seasons..... that’s far from ideal if that continues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However I stand by my assertion that we'll never get anywhere if we become a selling club - balancing the books by eviscerating the core of the team each summer. We can bring in loads of new guys, but they won't have played together and will take a while to bed in. Tbh I really fear the worst this season. We are not going about things sensibly. My heights exactly... I’ve a bad feeling about this season. I think these two sales also suggest that we’re not quite the wheeler dealers we think we are. I’d suggest Pulis and Warnock have the better end of both deals. Which, in turn, has got me thinking.... interesting that our boys were happy to jump ship and sign for these two much maligned managers.... rather than stay with our visionary board/management team... they were also in the minority who seemed up for it in the second half of the season. Worrying times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Londoner Posted June 30, 2018 Report Share Posted June 30, 2018 Let's have some realism. Reid in last year of his contract to find a club mad enough to spend 10mil is our gain. Personally I think Reid is mad to go to Cardiff and their style of football....especially with Warnock coming out and saying how he can play in behind the strikers etc. 10 mil thank you very much I was expecting somewhere in the 7 region max. As for flint 7 mil plus for a 29 year old who has had some horrendous spells here thank you boro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hardly qualifies as a “sick note”..! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I would have liked them to compliment the players we have lost, not to replace them. There are other players who I would have liked to have been sold ( yes realising a lot less cash, and a lot less interest from buyers). But that’s in my ‘ideal world’ scenario in my head. In short, I wanted cake and the cherry on the top instead of staring into a bowl full of ingredients and reaching for the cook book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted July 2, 2018 Report Share Posted July 2, 2018 In terms of self-sustainability etc. I think at this level it's more a case of stemming the losses and making it sustainable in FFP terms. e.g. losing under £13m as low as possible each year. Profitability or breakeven? As a big fish in League One, happy to stay there, or in the PL with all the TV money. However, in the Championship? Nope, won't happen- maybe a club like Barnsley or Burton, with limited ambitions based on size etc may be able to work it, but in general at this level no not at all IMO.
