The ***t who had a huge say in putting this club onits knees financially and then ran as fast as he could from the mess he created, is now their CEO.

While he was with us, some of his financial decisions had a negative impact on our club. OK- got it now. I couldn't give a toss about MA or Ipswich or is it the case that until BCFC see success again anything to the contrary is purely down to MA and by extension- Ipswich? Perhaps we should organise a march to get our club back? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know they were doing well but they’re absolutely bossing that league… 6 points clear of 3rd, FIFTEEN points clear of 4th. Crazy They`ve won all but one of their home games. That`s the big difference along with grinding out 1-0s at Morecambe and Lincoln on a wet Tuesday. After many years of blowing it in the last ten games of the season I think this will be their year at last and once they get up I feel they will establish themselves. Let`s just hope we`re not waving to them as we pass by! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cityexile Posted January 2, 2023 Report Share Posted January 2, 2023 29 minutes ago, Son of Fred said: As regards our current position,,viewing the table I'm seeing us as third in a league of eight right now - with the bottom three taking the plunge... Goal difference is & may well be our friend- if we continue to defend as stoutly as of late. One thing we have been pretty decent at in recent years is beating the teams at the bottom. Less so this year. Two points against Wigan and Blackpool in hindsight looks poor in matches we could/should have won. Also worth noting that the four teams directly above us, Hull, Stoke, Birmingham and QPR are all above us simply by virtue of beating us. Think our final outcome will be heavily dependent on how we do second time around against teams in the bottom half, and in tight games turning a few of those draws in to wins. Our away form is ok, unbeaten in four away now. More than anything we need to squeeze some home wins in, especially with Wigan, Hull, Blackpool and Rotherham still to play at AG. Stating the bloody obvious, but can not afford to many more ‘Stokes’. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you get your wish and Nigel is sacked his replacement will still be hamstrung by the financial disaster Ashton created while feathering his own nest (albeit aided by SL's neglect and LJ's ego). It's not Ipswich but Ashton who is still relevant and sadly may be for some time to come. SL let get him get away with it but it looks like his current boss is less of a pushover. Because of the damage he did here I for one would be delighted to see him get his comeuppance. 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont have a problem with Ipswich fans to the point I wish them ill purely because a former employee works for their club. The idea that any future manager is going to be hamstrung by MA is, IMO, ridiculous. Out of interest- please can you specify that at what point we can move on from MA? Is it after Jan transfer window or next season? The one after? Never? Please be specific in your answer. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wanderingred Posted January 2, 2023 Report Share Posted January 2, 2023 I’m not wishing ill on Ipswich, a decent club with a great pedigree simply because of Mark Ashton I’d love to see them back in the second tier, hopefully at the expense of Plymouth, who seem to think we are their rivals.

Stating the bloody obvious, but can not afford to many more ‘Stokes’. Tend to agree with this post although sticking Hull in that bracket. I dunno, bit cautious on that- while we have a good home record in particular vs them and while form can be temporary they seem to be on an upward trajectory. Quietly put together a run of 7 unbeaten on the road and potentially adding Ebiowei and Aaron Connolly on loan. 19 pts from last 12 games overall in fact, they could well be climbing towards midtable. Blackpool readding Bowler is a big boost and potentially Morgan Rogers on loan, may make things tighter down this end.
