If Ipswich fail to make the L1 Play-Offs, it has to be seen as an abject failure whichever way you look at it. As long as he steals his ridiculous wage, he won't give a shit. He will just bleed the club dry, take credit for anything good then, when the cash dries up, he will move on to his next victim. Good luck to Ipswich though, a top club. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top 6 not looking likely but he will spin it as a personal triumph. NEXT SEASON IS #OUR TIME (POSSIBLY BUT IF NOT IT'S SOMEBODY ELSE'S FAULT) Deflect the focus of failure to the PA system and big screen! There is no way they expected to miss out on playoffs…you can never assume automatic promo. They may have got rid of lots of players, but not as many high earners went (Skuse) as came in. He will have a degree of sympathy from fans that it’s Cook’s fault, and had he had McKenna they’d be in and amongst it. Maybe, but his scattergun recruitment (again) will not be easily remedied. I look forward to him shifting Joe Pigott on £8-10k, without contributing to his wages, especially after the season he’s had. Their accounts for this season are probably 10 months away, so we won’t know the affect he’s had financially for some time yet. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Red Posted April 10, 2022 Report Share Posted April 10, 2022 I refer to my post on the opening page of this thread back in August, which I stand by 100%: On 06/08/2021 at 18:20, Northern Red said: Whatever happens at City this season, however bad it might get, we should be eternally grateful that that charlatan and his mates aren't here anymore. 12 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McKenna made a bright start with 6 wins in opening 8 (no draws), but for a side who thought they’d still make play off the next 12 have seen 4 wins, 6 draws and 2 defeats. They can’t beat the sides above them. Bakinson on the periphery of things first half when Ipswich on top, but little to be seen second half, bar tippy-tally fouls as Rotherham dominated. They have a lot of work to do this summer, I bet Ashton can’t wait (kerching!). Burns played well first half, Wolfenden v.useful too at the back, Walton v.good keeper at Lg1 level. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedRock Posted April 16, 2022 Report Share Posted April 16, 2022 Bless. Maybe those Ipswich fans who thought we were bitter at the loss of Ashton and his mates may think differently now. Suspect though it may take another season or so. Dry those tears at our ‘loss’ fellow reds. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
