Cooper had a full pre season with them and was still awful 

And he spent that time playing all the players in different positions, claiming it was for fitness and then carried on into the season. 
 

Those preseason games were horrible and a foreshadowing for the whole season.  It’s not just hindsight, many were calling it out at the time.

McKenna is a worse manager than Ruud?

 

Not sure that is a thing.

 

Dyche or Martin wouldn’t be my choice but particularly for Dyche, he hasn’t broken the record for not scoring in nine consecutive home games like Ruud.

If we get Dyche, Ashley Young will be his first signing on a free because he's being released by Everton 😂

Ipswich spent pretty big. McKenna won 1 PL game this year. We are comparing different layers of poo to be honest.

When the **** was that. 

 

What I’m trying to say is, the fact some fans are trying to suggest there’s a case for Ruud staying, and some implying that he’s been better than Cooper, when he really hasn’t, he’s been worse. The right answer is both have been a disaster, and we shouldn’t even be considering keeping Ruud, he has definitely been worse, taking into consideration our historic winless streak with no goals scored. 
 

It’s like arguing who you would prefer to baby sit kids between Jimmy Saville and Rolf Harris………

Another clogger manager wanting experience without checking if they still have any ability. 

[Fox92]

Not sure why people are still debating this clown. He should be long gone.

[Bob Weasel Fox]

Have we sacked him yet?

Those preseason games were a perfect illustration of what happens when you take a squad that has achieved success playing a certain way and give them a manager who does not want to play that way but is wary of playing his own way, so attempts an awkward compromise - ie, a total mess.

Wrong, Ben Mee absolutely will be, being released by Brentford at the end of the season

McKenna also got back to back promotions for a club that was arguably not ready for PL football.

 

I think you’re spot on about comparing different levels of poo 😂

Ipswich have built a young team built to bounce back up without anymore investment though. We went shit or bust and failed miserably. Meaning another total over hall this summer

Did we? We certainly went with the first one.

 

I'd argue the 2 or the 3 young players we signed Delap Aside, were good signings (Fatawu and Bilal) maybe better that their signings. The experienced premier league signings where we went wrong.

We spent 50 million on utter shite. Plus gave loads of average ageing players long expensive contracts that we now wont be able to shift. Ipswich signed the best young players from the Championship which will piss the league next year

Farioli leaving Ajax is interesting, could start a bit of managerial merry-go-round. Who knows, maybe Ruud could end up at Ajax, if Kompany got the Bayern job anything is possible!

I doubt Ajax will appoint an ex-PSV player and manager.

I give you Russell Martin, Manning and Dyche or that bloke at Ipswich McKenna who Rudd just beat...

All of them have much better accomplishments that Rudd in management

Yes McKenna who has spent 100 million plus this year, and just lost to a side coached by Rudd, and came out with some nonsense post match they were the better side! Delusional.

 

Dyche to my knowledge has never been thrown into a club with no coaching staff, shit players who fundamentally cant defend. Last year Everton went 11 games without a win with a much better squad than we have. He is not exactly renowned for goals either 0.85 per game at Everton again with a much better squad.

 

We couldnt score as previously posted because we over compensated have a shit squad that cant defend by putting more shit players in to help the other shit players who cant defend defend, this was to the detriment of the attack who also weren't particularly good. The foundation for any team is the ability not to concede 3 or 4 goals a game. Even if we accepted we were going to concede 3-4 goals we would never have scored enough to win, so you can understand a manager might try whatever possibilities he has in his sack of shit to try and sure things up.

I'm CEO of Please Not Dyche™ Ltd and even I couldn't say with a straight face that he's worse than Ruud. 

 

Has Dyche ever managed someone else squad with no windows, none of his own coaches? no defenders that can defend. Im not sure he has, you gotta compare like for like.

We went shit, I'm not sure it could be call shit or bust.

 

We were in the bottom 4 gross transfer spend.

With squads they built or in McKennas case spunked 100 million on pretty average looking championship players that got beaten by Rudd, or Martins case made a side so piss weak in mentality even our piss weak mentality players have been able to turn it over 4 times in the last 2 seasons! Once by Rudd I mean Dyche is the best of a bad bunch if you want to head down that route fair enough, but its certainly not young exciting attacking players you are ever going to be seeing.

Without Enciso, Hutchinson, Davis and Delap Ipswich are pretty bare. 

 

They don't have the depth that our academy can bring to the table.

So you’re telling me ruud van nistelrooy is a better manager than McKenna who lead a team from league one to back to back promotions with little money because he beat him in a dead rubber game? Martin won promotion, and I don’t see many young attacking players under ruud either and he built a team low end of the championship and took them to Europe.I can’t tell if this is a troll or you’re genuinely this thick

Ruud at PSV and here, has shown that he doesn’t know how to tactically set up a team to be more defensively sound.

 

I genuinely can’t believe some of the stuff that I’m reading about Ruud on here, it’s like Ruud himself is on here defending his awful tactics and in game management 🤯

[Dahnsouff]

Keep Ruud as we deserve him and him us.

 

 

Seriously, can imagine it could work with Ruud with patience, funds and good transfer activity on both the staffing and player front.

 

However it feels tainted already so he would need to be up for the fight.
