Imagine it though,It mentions Kieran Mckenna but haven't Ipswich spent a small fortune and bought loads of functioning strikers?
Well I don't know about you, but I'll be happy with that for the foreseeable future. God help us if we did manage promotion this season, we're lightyears away from being ready to compete in the PL, we'd be getting completely embarrassed week in week out. If we as a club are serious about long term, top flight football we need to prepare for it right through all layers of the club, and that will take time, years I'd imagine, to put in place.We can all watch this space ..the above is a well thought out and correct assessment..once you realise KLD will stick to the strict business orientated financially frugal model you realise any success if any will be years down the line as the club grows slowly ..so immediate concerns about performance league position are just noise that is being ignored ........ as long as we stay in this division and each summer there is hope of promotion (keep fans happy)we will go on for years like this!It makes complete business sense and thats what kld rates over anything else. If anyone disagrees with this assessment lets just wait a couple of years or so and reassess ..my guess we will be exactly where we are today!
long haul it is then!U guess the model would need 5 or 6 years to put in place properly as we will have to sell a few players at major profit to fund it and it will have to reach a big enough size before the loss of our better players does not set us back to far and we clearly are not at that stage yet as the loss of clarke and some others in januiary will knock us for six .....but if your planning for 2027 i suppose KLD wont be worried about that.Its great that safc support is such a broad church but some of our fans will not be happy with the lack of ambition and we might lose them and in this area where the throat splitters are only going to get bigger and bigger and we are going to look 5th rate in comparison year on year on year.........I really do lament that we have a multi billionare as owner who wants to run us like one of his family chemical companies in his family business ...bleeden hell only at sunderland!Well I don't know about you, but I'll be happy with that for the foreseeable future.

Don't blame him there was obviously something in all those rumours in the summer. Would you not be pissed off if you overachieved in your job only for it to come to light your boss was looking around and was close to giving you the boot. I think he'd have been gone in the summer if not for the backlash. It's a job at the end of the day and it was clear the first sign of a bad run he was going to get the tin tack, nee wonder mowbray has been more dour than usual this season.Uncle Tony letting his mouth go to all the journalists off the record I see.
Always been about self preservation since he started bringing up his future during the playoffs unprompted.
fuck me i wondered why it felt like a long decadeMowbray
Neil- resigned
Johnson
Parkinson
Ross
Coleman
Grayson
Moyes - Resigned
Allardyce - Resigned for England job
Advocaat - Retired
Poyet
Di Canio
MON
Bruce
Sbragia
Keane
Quinn
Ball
McCarthy
Wilkinson
Reid
The list since the turn of the decade.
Before Neil arrived we had Johnson, Parkinson and Ross who all failed to get us out the 3rd division. Poor appointments.
Grayson & Coleman who were disasters in the Championship. Poor appointments
Moyes who didn’t want to be here. Disastrous for us.
Allardyce who resigned, Advocaat who retired after being lured back.
Poyet who seemed defeated by the end. He never recovered from the 0-8 defeat.
Di Canio who we got hammered for appointing.
MON who we got 5 years too late
Bruce who undid all his early good work, like he does at every club.
Sbragia seems to be getting counted in these numbers, as well as Quinn and Ball.
Keane who walked out.
McCarthy who won 15 premiership points in over 50 games. He’s pretty well liked with his promotion
Wilkinson which was a disaster and then we’re back to Reid
fuck me i wondered why it felt like a long decade![]()
Doesn’t make it right though. We’ve still had far too many across multiple regimes.Fuck me im bored of hearing how many managers we’ve had. Watford had 21 in a month ffs
Been a while since Brighton sacked a manager isn't it . Much more stable than us in that regard.Exactly
And the whole, he won't throw money at it thing.. surely that's sensible? So why even bring it up to dismiss it in the next line.
Clearly they're leaving it there for people to use it as a stick to beat the club with. It's nonsense.
If this was Brighton or anyone of that ilk people would be raving about the strategy but because its us its different
I think with just the addition of Stewart in that young squad last season we would have went upIt's a crazy policy, anyone worth their salt in the game knows that to get a club promoted from the Champ into the Prem, you need experienced players. The current model will not work, the only way this current, strict, youth only policy will succeed in getting us out of the Champ is by dropping out the other end back into League One. You have to have experience in there to help these kids, it's imperative.
I don't disagree, I think with Batth being fit for Luton we'd now be in the PremI think with just the addition of Stewart in that young squad last season we would have went up
He visioned it!…I stopped reading at
