I genuinely don't think a lot of them could point him out in a photo.

It's just too many things for me. Too many errors at too many levels. This ownership should be toast.

What implications am I meant to be taking from this; When the accusations are of us being badly run? What exactly am I meant to be spinning?

There is zero chance it happens which is why I'd want the change of ownership. If Top had binned Rudkin and Whelan in the summer and given this club a proper shakeup I would be willing to say despite the relegation, I can at least see proper measures are being put in place to rectify the astounding mess that got us down in the first place. But the fact he allowed those two to oversee the review, to mark their own homework. It's just astounding naivety at best. Then again I remember it isn't just ineptness at board level. This is before you even come to the general handling of the club, the general sale fiasco etc... I truly think rolling the dice is a safe bet at this point. Our promotion this season would not be a reflection on good ownership. The promotion is ultimately because we're far more powerful a club than our rivals and underachieved drastically to be in this division in the first place. Change of ownership please. Fingers crossed.

It wasn't applied when we got relegated. There's no chance now. We have a flaccid fanbase.

If being less badly run than Everton and Forest is your barometer for success then there's a problem.

You don't know that!!!

"We don't know that for sure so we must give the same people who pioneered the most avoidable ever PL relegation even more benefit of the doubt"

I've posted plenty on what I think in here. If Everton being the ones to get the points deduction is enough to absolve our hierarchy of any criticism then I'd suggest we're being too kind.

Co-owner Rudkin out.

Noted - Everton are the only badly run club in world football. Got it.

It's largely the same people on here white-knighting Teflon Jon and Top who were sneering at anybody who had any concerns with this deal as well. Some people have an inability to join dots and see the bigger picture, that's fine, just don't expect to be listened to.

Once again - this is being made too much about Sensi and less about the fact we've come out of the window objectively, unquestionably weaker than what we went in. If we pull the plug on Sensi and get a loanee in I think plenty would say fair enough even if it's not ideal. But we've thrown our eggs in this one basket, a deal we've known was pretty complicated (because of our own previous mismanagement by the same people) and ended up with those eggs splattered over our faces. We're three players down on when we went into the window, one of those a midfielder - not to mention the fact we've lost one of our starting midfielders for the majority of the rest of the season too. I've seen enough of these jokers. How they still get the benefit of any doubt on here is astonishing to me. We better hope we see this through. We've weakened our chances this window.

This isn't even really about Sensi himself, it's about the bigger picture. How is this situation anything other than shit for us? We are three players down on when we entered the window. This is factual information. This isn't ITK tweet speculation. This is concrete. Of those three players we have had one recalled (therefore surely freeing up whatever we were paying him), we have loaned one out (Iversen), and one has retired (Smithies). Thomas went back out on loan to another club. Sensi was in the country. This is a fact. We have had a month to get either this or an alternative done. This is a fact. So for all of these facts, whatever reason there was for him not signing, they are, at best case scenario, a result of being hamstrung by previous poor decisions made by the same regime. They are the common denominator. This has happened numerous times now. We are a badly run club. This is a fact a pretty confident opinion.

That's a shame, he was another fantastic signing made by us in the last 18 months.

we've lost Casadei and loaned out Iversen. You're telling me there was nothing there to get 'anything' in as an alternative? Not even a loanee? The usual King Power bootlickers will be out defending yet another shitshow of a window because the specific details aren't documented on SkySports. Your inability to draw the dots isn't my problem.

Not quite convinced he comes in the summer. I'd hardly be in a rush to come to us after this shambles.

More fool you if you thought the leopard had changed its spots. The same inept people. The same inept outcomes. They're the ones who will survive this while the good people will see this shitshow for what it is. Top and Rudkin out.

It's beyond poor now, it's nothing short of an embarrassment. I know everyone thinks they've got exceptional circumstances, but I really do think ours is uniquely bad these days for numerous factors that have been set out. The theories about how it's an old, tired support filling the ground have been strengthened signiicantly by the last 5 days. The atmosphere against Birmingham in a game where we were 'actually' shit for the first 45 minutes was probably the best all season where I was. Yet last night we serve up that dross.

I agree with your post, but my problem is the ground quite literally feels more negative this season than last. The whines yesterday - honestly, I can take or leave the style of play, but you would think we were 2 down. You only have to remember the way Blackburn obliterated us a year ago. My gripe is where the hell was this anger when it was needed?

Birmingham the best atmosphere at home this season, despite the first half being genuinely probably the worst we've played at home all season. Makes you think.

This club, and fanbase is completely broken.

The brutal reality is that after what we've witnessed in the last decade we cannot be just expected to reset expectations and pretend that we're excited by beating Swansea and Huddersfield. That is not a criticism of the manager, he should be respected for how well he and the team have turned things around, but it just simply isn't going to get the juices flowing and that isn't arrogance, it's the reality. It's the equivalent of Manchester City winning three straight champions leagues and the following season seeing how they react when they beat Lech Poznan in the Conference League. I think as well the speed of which we fell has placed 2022/23 as the outlier and that 2023/24 is capped by the fact we're in this league. It isn't like we had years of being rubbish in the Premier League and fell into this league gradually and painfully like Everton feel like they're doing. We have in very recent memory produced a consistently winning team at a higher level. I think the fans at our ground have been largely awful and even in spite of all of this they're just adding to the overall malaise. The loudest noise I heard from the east stand all night was a loud groan at KDH overrunning a ball. That isn't how it should be when you're winning this often. But I do understand 'sort of' where the malaise is from - it just isn't particularly exciting. It's wasted on us frankly. To be totally honest I did enjoy the style in 2013/14 a bit more though. I'm not saying that team was better but I did find the higher tempo easier to resonate with.

We're due a nice win here rather than the usual 2-2.

Wonder if Ipswich's family stand empties every night game after 80.
