The whole world smiles

Ok so based on that slightly reductive logic does he then deserve a bit of credit for: Hermadsen 6 million Fatawu 17 million Winks 10 million Mavidivi 7.5 million Fofana 30 million

I'm not one to stick up for Rudkin, There has obviously been mistakes made over the last 5 years and I find the lack of transparency and lack of respect shown to the fans absolutely infuriating. But... what I find baffling about the Rudkin out mob. Literally anything that goes wrong at the club is his fault entirely and anything that goes right is someone else's responsibility to take credit for. If we had lost the legal appeal and got 6 points deducted with none taken of for co-operation can anyone honestly say with a straight face that it wouldn't have got pinned on Rudkin on here? So surely he then has to take a small amount of credit now? As well as the relegation and ffp breaches which were obviously bad he was also doing exactly the same job when we won the premier league, fa cup and qualified for Europe 5 times which is obviously good. He can't be some all powerful exec with his grubby hands on every bad decision whilst simultaneously being in his office wanking it off while all the good decisions are being made. You can't blame him for 100 percent of the bad and credit him with 0 percent of the good to do so insults people's intelligence and in my case turns me off your cause because it's so obviously not logical and biassed.

After a single.

Haha why am I not surprised this wasn't going to be attributed to rudkin! If we had lost the appeal and got extra points added for not excepting it who do you think foxestalkers would have been going after?

Right so my extremely reductive understanding of it is we went down to the championship and successfully appealed points deduction based on it being a different league, we then got promoted and the premier league tried to get us for it and we appealed based on being in a different league seems to me that the big brains at the premier league hadn't factored in legally what happens when a side gets relegated.

This sounds promising hopefully someone intelligent can explain what it means exactly.

Whilst the ref wasn't to blame for us losing he was shockingly indecisive and weak all game examples being the skipp challenge where he played on for a few seconds then went back to it or the vardy penalty in the 97th where his arm went up back down then up again. The ball hit him 3 times once a game is unusual 3 times your clearly positioning yourself badly also the drop balls he would drop it at a defenders feet with a striker right next to them so we were instantly under the pump that's not how it's supposed to work. All these things combine to give out the impression to every one in the stadium that you don't know what your doing and your gong to have a long afternoon.

Just on my way back from the ground. Cooper got a warm reception from all 4 sides of the ground at full time with the crowd appreciating his sides endeavour and fight. The only place that's toxic is this negative little echo chamber.

Oh good it's been about 20 hours since the last foxestalk meltdown (at 5 yesterday when you didn't think we were signing a striker). We were due another! Up the city

I think it's fairly obvious we wanted to be a little more ambitious than we have been this summer. With Solue and holzek but With the looming points deduction, an on paper uninspiring manager and financial constraints meaning the club can no longer blow teams out the water on wages we found it quite hard going and has led to a solid if unspectacular window. Historically how it's viewed will all depend on how good the Moroccan turns out to be it could be anywhere from a 5 to 8 out of 10.

The argie on loan and hopefully Eduardo on loan tonight.

Get the champagne out.

But. But. But I thought Ipswich was a brilliantly ran club from top to bottom who were lightyears ahead of us? Lol can you imagine the rancour from you lot if that's what our transfer deadline looked like?

I read earlier in the thread he's in the last year of his deal.

Just googled it. Unused sub!

What about the Walsall game or is he cup tied?

We could have a team out there to do medical etc

To be honest if you liked Danny Simpson and enjoyed watching him play for Leicester (I did by the way) you need to get off your high horse here.

6 games is generous these days! Plenty on here genuinely wanted cooper gone after 2!

Link them mate. If any of these sources say we have only just started to seek a permanent deal for him this week I'll buy you a pint.

How on earth could you possibly know that?

I actually think it being announced tonight means the club must be quite confident of another incoming transfer tomorrow otherwise it's much better from a PR point of view to announce it tomorrow afternoon.

In my humble opinion for what it's worth. I think it will be a good sign that the club plan on more business if this gets announced tonight. If not they will sit on it and announce it tomorrow to keep the fans calm.

James Madison.

I have watched my side get relegated 6 times in my life, I've seen adminstration, players playing for free I've watched Peter Taylor tear down O'Neil's legacy in 10 months, I've seen relegation to league 1 but I have never wanted my team to lose. But whatever you keep posting your shit memes and wanting the team to lose. Hope the result hasn't pissed you off to much . Up the city.
