70's Mike

yet

agreed he really showed nothing to indicate where his best position was or that he was prepared to work hard enough to improve himself. watch the top ranked midfield players they work their socks off all over the pitch

Exactly that is the point , with Lowe it is always about him not the club and he cannot change

Exactly , i do not believe we would have had Peckhaert, Robertson and co , Wotte was involved from day one not just from the day he became manager

Interesting he was prepared to let one of his academy boys go with Stuart Gray at Northampton.

As a league one club , short of cash, whoever we employ is not going to have loads of back up staff etc, we need a grafter ans someone who knows football at this level and below not a name

IF he returns imo it will beyond help, no matter what

lots of things to weigh up before i buy the three i have had at sms since it opened:- 1) will youngest son (14) want to go 2) will eldest son , who is in his 3rd year at uni, be living near enough to go to home games 3) cost 4) if i am going on my home will i go to every game , so is a season ticket cost effective 5) is rupert involved in any way shape or form

struggling to get exited by it, must be an age thing

in George Reasders days or even Alan Woodford the board was not open BUT all i want, as they did then, is make sensable decisions for the benefit of a football club

AS it is a bank holiday i am blaming it on the drink lunchtime

Whoops

and whose fault was that, he was built up by the SMS PR machine and never really had a chance to develop away from the spotlight Rupert and JP just did not understand the CCC and what was required

in the season just finished. as far as i can see we were the only club in the 4 divisions to win more away games than it did home.

if you ever go to a match at either Ipswich or Norwich there are as many coaches bringing in home fans as there are away coaches. The reason why they have high season ticket sales is a) price and b) the fact that so many have traditional bussed in from outside the cities in transport organised by the club

THINK that is it

Alan Knill at Bury

new manager must be someone with experience of league 1 plus must have an eye for a non league player, whoever takes over, imo, is not going to have lots of surplus cash to invest in players. we should forget the names and look at the Tisdales and Knill's of this world

the man must go from the club, i have heard talk of him going back to the academy but imo, that would be a bad move we need to start producing players in the academy who can play in the league the first team is in not future premiership players.

not unless he gets some upper body strength and a defenders brain

totally agree the support the club has got all season has out performed the performances on the pitch , both in quality but mainly effort.

he may be able to play problem was he was not the type of player we needed in reality only in ruperts and jp's world at staplewood where the cones do not tackle you

strange thing is , imo , the only place rupert has divided the fan base is on here where a few keyboard thumpers like hom. in the real world at sms the fans have united in their utter comptempt for the man

Just got home, nothing to add .not sure why i went really, suppose the hope i would wake up and see that thr rest of the season was a bad dream , problem is it was all true.

That is the plan , not sure if you need a different licence these days. off to nottingham in 5 mins , son is driving up so he can have a drink , dad driving home s
