    Managerial merry go round

    also shows how rapidly you can go from 0 to the top in management. 2.5 seasons at Ipswich...1.5 seasons at a level below where they should have been in the first place, 1 season splendidly overachieving. first half season: McKenna's arrival saw a quick upturn in Ipswich's form, with the team's...

    Talk about a team playing in the image of the manager. Slow, no creativity, long ball launch it. And Dempsey and Thomason - a couple of thugs kicking lumps out of the opposition.

    verdict on signings last summer... and what to expect this summer?

    if we sign 10 players this summer imo we don't want to be looking for replacements for three of them by january, and have another one (signed injured) not playing at all. regardless of whether they can be sent back, or loaned out. get it right more often first time is a better way to develop the...

    verdict on signings last summer... and what to expect this summer?

    Fair enough, how about ‘not a successful signing’. Btw, Brown was 24 when we signed him. Hardly a youngster.

    verdict on signings last summer... and what to expect this summer?

    success: jensen, reeco, Hamilton getting roughan to resign goes down as a hit successful loans: mitchell burroughs (did ok in the first half of the season) fail: smith and brown. vale walker was signed injured and so has to go down as a fail imo 6/10 success rate. any views on what ratio is...

    Summer Transfer Rumours

    agree. this is the type of player we look at - we are not entirely in the signing youngsters mould. hackett and walker are in the same age range for instance. for this type of player, expect we have scouted and seen some evidence that he has potential to step up again. already shown progress...

    Summer Transfer Rumours

    lots to like there with evans. house-type closing down and tackling. headed goals - something we are short on. lots of forward running. looks like he has played all over midfield and left back in 22/23. 21 goals playing a more attacking role 23/24 season.

    Michael Skubala Rumour

    plymouth have just tried and quickly discarded foster. why would they risk going straight in for someone similar?

    Summer Transfer Rumours

    imo the club/ethan should work on simple right foot passing. add that and you multiply his worth by another few million, and easily place him in the championship.
