I don't see it that we 'flog our best assets'. Players have moved on because they have wanted to go and the club had little or no realistic choice. That is the way it works these days. If a top 6 club wants a player he will be gone, by hook or by crook, and his pay will at least double...
It could of course be the Ipswich owners leaking to the media to put the pressure on McKenna to sign a new contract!
His odds are still quite short for our job.
We won't have the distraction of Europe. We'll have a manager whose focus will be on making a good impression. The players will be motivated to achieve. Nobody will be leaving and players will join. We have plenty of talent in the squad already. We have teams up from the Championship with...
Wasn't it said that any manager is potentially 6 games from the sack? That is especially so in these times. McKenna needs to move on from Ipswich, the Premier League is now a graveyard for promoted clubs.
He sounds very promising. My main concern is that as a manager he seems only to have...
I see Liam Rosenior is coming in a bit on the odds. He could be the dark horse in this. His is available and I am sure he would come if asked. Has he got enough about him though? Good communicator, wouldn't rock the boat, would fit in with the vision, unlikely to leave at the drop of the...
Well it would bring a change in the style of entertainment and 'change' is the in word these days!!!
I think though he is a sensible guy and would be polite and say he was not interested.
Everybody is for sale at the right price as we have already shown. My guess is that most, if not all of those will be on far higher wages than we pay and so therefore will be out of reach
Given our games are against Newcastle, Chelsea and Man United I would be quite happy for Veltman to remain at right back and be 'very good defensively' in those games.
I'd like to see a couple in, a defensive midfielder and a full back who are PL quality and better than who we have already. That would be a good window for me
Oh yes if we have two or three quality additions and no departures that would be excellent business.
Bearing in mind we cannot...
Well our last 4 games of the season are all against 'better' teams where normally we would be expected to rise to the occasion and put on a performance, win or lose. It will be interesting to see how they go. Three are at home. I reckon RDZ has to win one of them
