Ipswich up to 75 million - rising

[sinkov]

That is incredible, sinkov. How do they balance the books?

The last chairman improved the facilities no end Swiss, 3 years ago you could only get a pint in the clubhouse and there was a snack bar selling pie and peas, Bovril, Kit Kat and not much else, now there is a Fast Food outlet, and four bars in the ground selling ale, the gates have gone through the roof and so have the catering/bar receipts. In effect it's sustainable because the fans are paying for it, no debts are being racked up and the club has money in the bank.

After the wages I'll put up the gate money, ST money and bar/food outlet receipts.

When we won the Championship the team we had would have been fine in the Prem, they turned Bournemouth inside out, but we didn't keep that team for a variety of reasons so hopefully lessons learned.

That is incredible. Good luck to the club. I will look out for the results in future. Does the club have a nickname - hopefully not «*the Clits*»

That side what got us promoted wouldn't have kept us up, Playing companies style of football.

The promoted side had defensive issues with the likes of Beyer, Vitinho, Ekdal to name a few, even Muric wasn't and isn't the real deal.

Our main problem was Kompany who had is own self interest at heart and couldn't give a stuff about his staff or BFC

Harsh, but appears to now be true b_c.

They don't Swiss, just a very unoriginal 'the Blues', which doesn't go down well with me.

I think at the time of his appointment we all knew that we were just a stepping stone for him on his journey to greater things, it didn't really matter as he would take us along with him for a part of the ride. I don't think anyone anticipated the cynicism with which he used BFC solely as a 'stepping stone' for his career with absolutely no consideration for the club or it's supporters at all. I said after several of his pressers that beneath that genial exterior there lurked a very hard man, but while saying that I never realised just how hard he really was.

Baffling that it worked really, isn't it? Bad player management, ploughing on with bad tactics, relegation...yet still a european giant comes calling!

Not really baffling these days. Every time a CEO or big boss of large corporations fail they receive an ridiculous pay off and then somehow manage to obtain another post as head of something. Failure seems to be a lot more lucrative than success these days.
