Ipswich Town and Nigel Farage: A private lunch, free shirts, and staff complaints

The visit by the Reform UK leader, and Ipswich's account of the visit being undermined, has prompted a fan backlash

If true, can’t imagine Ipswich will be happy. Not due to the event but due to the ceo treating all the staff and supporters as mugs.

It's a bonding exercise or not as the case maybe.

 

[Kneeza]

Send him to Boro next

He can't even seem to find Clacton. Boro are pretty safe.

Sammie Szmodics just come on and then 5 mins later off injured for the Irish tonight - could be a doubt for next week

On a stretcher, knocked out, head brace and on oxygen. Yup he’s out.

Did someone say Agyemang is out too? I’ve had a brief look but can’t see anything

Only that he might arrive back very late, but the same for EMC & Lati.

He's shite anyway

It's a full on nuclear implosion on the Ipswich boards right now, first 3 pages of the forum is around 40 different threads calling for resignations, answers, apologies, action, protests, etc..etc...
Reddit showing similar on both ipswich sub & the piss ripping on the championship sub.
I doubt Portman road will have a great atmosphere next game.
Politics talk can f off to off topic, but the impact it might have on Ipswich the next few weeks....

Yeah, what I said it's fine to talk about the impact it is having on a promotion "rival" on here without going into a discussion of the politics of Reform.

The Athletic piece makes it sound like te players aren't 100% happy which could also be a good thing.

 

[David O'Day]

Szmodics looks like he may be out for a bit

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

I’m not a gambling man anymore but putting money on Millwall for autos is sorely tempting.

 

[alexccfc99]

They are appointing who?

 

[fernandopartridge]

They are appointing who?

Very strange indeed. They're not in danger of relegation are they?

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Thought Hodgson was under medical advice not to manage again?

 

[alexccfc99]

Very strange indeed. They're not in danger of relegation are they?

12 points - Mathematically still possible but I doubt Leics, Oxford, Pompey are gonna be good enough to drag them into the mix

I thought they were bloody hopeless against us the other week so not surprised they have made the change

 

[JSL]

The same board have sacked him that sold arguably their best player to Ipswich in January

They sold him and also sold Vyner to Wrexham which pretty much killed their season

Bristol City in the appoint Peter Reid era

 

[Sbarcher]

Their forum in meltdown.

 

[TomRad85]

I used to envy clubs like Bristol City. God our standards got low didn't they!

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Their forum seem to think he’s going to be their DoF in the summer?

 

[Grendel]

More like Beryl Reid

Bristol City in the appoint Peter Reid era

Bit of an insult to Old Roy that, Reid was an incompetent clown who replaced a good man in Eric Black, signed his mates on cushy contracts and would have took us down

Roy was good manager in his day, admittedly jobs like Liverpool and England were perhaps above his ceiling but he did a fine job at Fulham, The Baggies etc. and that often gets overlooked

Doesn't not make this a strange appointment mind you

Reid's managerial record domestically was as good as Hodgson's, did well with Man City and Sunderland

Reid has a far better record in management?

Hodgson keeping Fulham up in 07/08 and getting them to a major European final within 2yrs trumps anything Reid ever did as a manager

 

[David O'Day]

Nonsense, Reid saved Sunderland from league 1 as it now and took them to finishing 7th multiple times. If he's managed Sunderland in Hodgson's Fulham era then he'd have had a crack at a European competition.

Reid was shite for us but it's revisionist to say he wasn't a good and successful manager before us.

Roy Hodgson was a good Prem manager but this
appointment is a desperate gambit that probably won’t work. Like when Harry Redknapp took over at Birmingham City.

Finished 5th twice with a pretty ordinary Man City team as well

 

[fernandopartridge]

The game is silly really, why on earth are clubs appointing people in their late 70s? What other industry would do that?

Gen Z recency bias I’m afraid.
