You've summed it up perfectly there in three and a bit lines. For me there's simply no point in wasting time and money actively following a Club whose only goal is to be "sustainable" (Pasha) or which says in February/ March when you're in the play off positions that the goal for the season was never actually making them but planning for the following season. (Gestede) All allowed by owners with no interest who couldnt care less.

So what's your solution? Give up and do nothing?

Nail, hammer, head.

"Whilst there's eleven players in blue and white on the swamp". Very good!

I dont doubt if VI left that he would be replaced by someone currently out of work - the question is could another out of work Coach possibly do any worse than this one (who was also out of work when we acquired him) Im still struggling to see how anyone could. Perhaps people like winning at home 4x per season or scoring twice every six hundred and odd minutes or something.

We'll score nil, just a question of if/how many Ipswich score "Exciting times" indeed.

Not wishing to defend the owners but Pasha doesnt live 5000 miles away nor the Head Coach who said they could fix the pitch in lieu of signing players. The Club is rotten to the core.

The usual. Identifying players we can't/refuse to pay for. Cracking work if you can get it.

At the moment unless decent money is spent before the end of the window it's looking like the transfer budget for this season is/was minus £2m. (The net position in summer) Bearing in mind we've only bought in a nil cost loan so far and seemingly had to shift Gueye before seeing any movement on the striker front.

Gone for an afternoon at the races to blow his signing on bonus.

That original post would be ideal for the LT if they had the cajones to print it - which they won't.

Well, we've no substantive transfer links to talk about so might as well carry it on. Fun fact: Gueye scored the same number of goals last season as Luke Varney did between 2014 -18. (Six) Reg Varney would have been better. "Get that bus out Butler".

Exactly. " But who would come in?" " But who would buy us?" etc.....

No idea. Scott Wharton? Gallagher?

I think it was Eddie who absolutely nailed Gestede in a podcast about there only being a limited window of opportunity to reinvest due to FFP rules. Gestede couldn't answer that and merely kept repeating a lame excuse about how the transfer budget for the year was unaffected no matter how many sales were made. Which is utterly bizarre when you think about it.

There's some mental gymnastics going on there to try and shift blame away from Ismael. So what is it that makes you think he's doing a decent job? Because we're (currently) a few points outside the relegation zone? Will you change that view if he takes us down?

But a minute ago you said we had 4 strikers. You're contradicting your own points and having lost the argument you've nothing left to fall back on but resort to insults. I still can't see what it is about this guy that makes you leap to his defence. He almost couldnt possibly be doing any worse than anyone else could he, whether it be League position, performances or the state of the squad.

How have they been pushing for Tyjon to have more minutes? He had two strikers he was prepared to use.

2 strikers. He has CHOSEN not to utilise Tyjon and clearly never rated Gueye in the first place so wasnt prepared to play him. He also CHOSE to ostracise Leonard and sell him for peanuts.

Silly argument, equally you dont know Gestede or anyone else said he couldnt bring another striker in. Im fairly sure no one would have objected if he'd spent the money incinerated on Tavares on another striker instead for example. As regards asking for 2 strikers now, as I've said previously on other threads, I think this is all complete BS to keep the fans placated. I think he knows full well it's not happening but the reason it's necessary is they all fucked up the summer window and generally wasted whatever funds we did have.

I'd say he was marginally better than Gallagher. (Which isn't a compliment but still)

Where's the source "an offer has been made?" (Apart from Mercer's post last night) No offence Merce - would just like to see some official corroboration!

Just purely on the striker point, he turned over 23 players in and out in the summer. It's his responsibility that he only left us with 2 serviceable strikers.

Not defending them but wasn't there an additional sum due of £4m or £5m after a certain period and they also assumed responsibility for the overdraft which I think stood at around £15m at the time. So the overall exposure initially was around £40m in reality I thought.

Blimey. You can argue he wasn't good enough and Id tend to agree, but he was definitely much better than those two. As we all know, Brown never even scored a goal.
