Is everyone bitter about them because of Ashton?

Can't speak for anyone else, but personally I've always had an intense dislike of Kieran McKe...

....nope, it's definitely Ashton.

[Bazooka Joe]

Could this be the beginning of a spectacular implode for Ipswich?

If so, I hope Ashton spends recklessly/wastefully as they attempt to buy their way out of trouble/freefrall and gets them into the same sh*t that he got us into.

Never had a real problem with Ipswich before, but I do now, and will until Ashton goes elsewhere.

Absolutely. The team I now love to see lose the most (above Rovers, Cardiff, anyone). Petty perhaps but c’est la vie

Don't dislike us because of one individual.    I never asked Mark Ashton to come on board with us, all right he's now part of a (mostly) successful club side and fans at ITFC have more or less now welcomed or accepted his position but i've rather talk or discuss what occurs on the pitch.

Today was disappointing, don't like noon kick-offs particularly in such pivotal games of this nature but they were value for the win.     Leeds beat us and scored 4 at Portman Road earlier in the season, they've beaten us again at their own ground and scored another 4 times.    That's a promotion team in every sense of the word but we can only concentrate on our own objectives and try to keep in with the automatic promotion places.  

we have Leicester coming up soon and another performance and result like today just won't be acceptable.  Very few teams stop us from scoring over an entire game of 90 minutes but we hardly registered a shot on goal up there today.    Concede too many goals although that's compensated by an attack and forward options that many others in the league simply can't match.     Still in a very good position to challenge though.     So many other teams would jump at the chance to be where we are and the opportunity that goes with it.

Farke is a very good coach. Good business by Leeds getting him in.

[Mr Popodopolous]

7 points ahead and a strong GD at this stage is still a great position all told, especially having played Leeds twice.

Its all down to that *** ashton.

People perhaps forget or dont know that top flight Ipswich came down to AG to play a fundraiser when we were in deep financial shit

Personally always liked Ipswich.

As a club you are completely irrelevant to me. I just hate Mark Ashton and therefore currently your club. Once he leaves I’ll go back to having no interest in you once again.

Let's hope that's ruined Xmas for the smug ****.

There was a certain club 5-6 years ago who we’re competing for top spot in this division with Wolves and played a few days before Xmas against them and lost, it all went pear shaped and ended up finishing 8th 

I wonder if Mr Ashton has learnt any lessons from then and his disastrous transfer dealings???

[Mr Popodopolous]

I will say, Mr. Ashton seems to be on a much tighter leash in all honesty.

Time will tell in January as to whether it remains the case but reportedly they have a £3m fee and £15k per week budget for a new striker or at most anyway so they're still not going to be spending crazy money it seems.

Yep, Ipswich are a good club, a club a neutral likes.

But we still “hate” Ashton…not Ipswich!!

Totally agree. I've a lot of time for Ipswich but the slippery car salesman, I can't stand him!

To have accumulated 52 points on there first season back so far is pretty good going but like some previous poster have said got some big games coming up

Don't get the dislike for Ipswich just because of Ashton. IMO it should be directed at the Lansdown for giving free roam. 

[Mr Popodopolous]

Interesting snippet here.

Given we saw Sykes, Diedhiou and Wright get retrospective bans for a host or reasons, does Broadhead have one incoming??

Dislike Leeds, but still found myself pleased as each goal went in

I didn't mind ipswich until Ashton went there: However combine that with some of their smug fans (remember them thinking they could get alex scott for £7m?) and now I hope the wheels fall off in spectacular fashion starting with permanent 3.5 year multi million pound deals for both of the useless t*sspots above.

I thought the whole Scott transfer sum you are refering to was part of a windup that included several top football league players that were obviously undervalued.
