Can you imagine the absolute meltdown on here if that happened us? Again, for fun, imagine you’re a striker with decent stats, you’ve scored 20 goals last season and 5/6 clubs are after you all expected to be near the top of the table, you’ve no affiliation to us, why are you signing with us? Answer: You’re not. People need to temper their expectations. 90%+ of clubs won’t have most of their business done yet, this isn’t the Darren Moore’s fault. You have noticed how much business other clubs in league 1 have been doing? And that two of the league’s top goalscorers from last season Joe Pigott and Charlie Wyke have both signed for new clubs in our league in the last couple of weeks? Here’s a full list of the ins and outs so far in league 1 this summer: https://www.eadt.co.uk/sport/ipswich-town/league-one-transfer-window-2021-8040208 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are good players going to other teams in the same league as us. Really is pathetic how little business we have done. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those clubs aren't under any restrictions imposed by the EFL. We are and therefore are severely disadvantaged when it comes to making signings, plus our reputation is damaged because we haven't been paying our players properly. It's like talking to a brick wall on here at times, the message just doesn't seem to get through to most that Clueless has effectively destroyed our ability to compete at any level! Until such time as he goes or we get extremely lucky and unearth the next Brian Clough, Bill Shankley or Alex Ferguson we are going precisely nowhere (except maybe further down the football pyramid).

NeonLeon Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 Is absolutely baffling as to why we’ve seemingly ground to an absolute halt after the flurry of last week. I would be expecting at least two in before this weekend, definitely by next Sunday’s game. The more bizarre thing is there’s now more talk of outgoings than incomings. Considering we lost half our squad on July 1st, letting anyone go now just seems stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we all hope somewhere some of the poo he has through sticks to a wall but its unlikely. We need a CEO to run the club but haven't got one, we need a director of football so we don't lose our best young players and we don't have 10+ players out of contract come May next year but we haven't one of those either, more importantly we need a director of youth development. We need to find a way to take those talented kids and turn them either into first team regulars or asset to sell on and a competent marketing manager to make sure the none playing parts of the club contribute to its up keep. None of these we currently have and with DC around its very unlikely. But I have been shouted down this week for saying we are currently at bottom 8 team with the players and squad we have an injury or two and we will be in a relegation fight. We need a decent keeper and a few decent strikers and if they don't come in I personally fear for back to back relegation chance. But what do I know I am just a fan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nail on head with pretty much everything. My concern is that DM seems to have a lot more input than previous managers but is operating with one (if not both) hand tied behind his back. Can't help but think that Clueless is looking for a scapegoat when things go wrong (it's his standard modus operandi anyway - you know, fans comments cost us major investment etc.) and in no way is DM to blame for any of our predicament. Question is will the fans see it that way, sadly I sincerely doubt it and you can already see that developing with many of the comments on here.

@owlstalk Posted July 21, 2021 Author Share Posted July 21, 2021 Remember when the club did a big announcement that we had appointed a new COO to calm everyone down who were screaming for a CEO at the club to run things after all the madness we've had to endure? Turns out to be someone already at the club who won't be doing any kind of a CEO job Proper funny that Don't think anyone fell for that at all 1 Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
