Not really sure what they expect - Smallest budget in the League surely? The football is dull under Rowett for sure but I don't see who goes there and has a better chance than him of keeping them upRowett has been sacked.
16,000 seater and with a fourth stand - That is all they need really, right next to Oxford Parkway station so this one won't be so bloody difficult to get toHaven't Oxford got big plans for a new stadium? They must have money from somewhere
We should be all over that if availbale
Be amazed if Ipswich sanctioned a deal to a direct promotion rivalWe should be all over that if availbale
Fair play to the ref. Fuck him upNot sure if this is real - but this is supposedly the referee’s report justifying Paul Heckingbottom’s three game touchline ban
WowBristol City just announced losses of £18.6m for last season. They said without player sales they'll be close to the losses threshold next season.
They will take the 500k for Mehmeti and send a thank you card to Doug for helping save them.Bristol City just announced losses of £18.6m for last season. They said without player sales they'll be close to the losses threshold next season.
Silly season approaching. If this happens i'll buy a Blunts shirt with Clarke on the back.
Money.....where is it coming from (10m??) are my thoughts!!Silly season approaching. If this happens i'll buy a Blunts shirt with Clarke on the back.
Speaking of do you reckon its a coincidence they’re in for Castledine who’s a similar sort of player to Mehmeti? Could he be off in January?They will take the 500k for Mehmeti and send a thank you card to Doug for helping save them.
It's a possibility, maybe their last chance to get some money. That said it these situations it usually serves the player better to fully run their contract down and then having a larger choice of clubs and probably a bigger wage to offset the lack of transfer fee.Speaking of do you reckon its a coincidence they’re in for Castledine who’s a similar sort of player to Mehmeti?

Thats very true but potentially DK, DA and co could tempt him with a move to us? Was really good first half in the game we played against them, lost his head second half thoughIt's a possibility, maybe their last chance to get some money.

They hadn't been in the Championship for longer than we hadn't been in the Prem and he kept them up last season.Rowett has been sacked.
Would cost £10m+ surely, I can't see itJack Clarke would be unreal business
Well we were rumoured 10m+ on Rak Sakyi summer deadline day, and we have the Sheaf money, also were rumoured 10m+ on Hughes all summer. You never know if he was the only business of January I’d call it a successWould cost £10m+ surely, I can't see it

Hard to value Clarke. Clearly an excellent player at this level but he did pretty much nothing in the Prem which really puts a cap on that value and would put me off wanting to spend huge amounts on him. He's certainly not worth what Ipswich paid for him imo.Well we were rumoured 10m+ on Rak Sakyi summer deadline day, and we have the Sheaf money, also were rumoured 10m+ on Hughes all summer.

Why? It makes no sense as he wouldn't be playing herePatrick Bamford 3 goals in 7 games. Does make it seem mad why we didn’t just take the deal till end of Jan for depth like Sheff Utd did. They have good strikers in their team and he’s displaced them all and took the starting lineup spot.
I assume he will stay with them till end of the season but now is attracting interest from MLS. Could just be his agent drumming up interest so he gets a good contract with the blades, can’t imagine he’d do an Andy Carroll and leave them in Jan

Is their wage bill exceptionally high or something?Bristol City just announced losses of £18.6m for last season. They said without player sales they'll be close to the losses threshold next season.
I'd like to think this has had more than a few hoofs on the relevant message board by now...Not often i'll take the side of Sunderland but saw some Blues fans talking about signing Chris Rigg and i think the comments gave me brain rot, i mean, "growing global profile" ffs! These lot are genuinely the worst fans in the EFL, the most deluded, the most stupid and seem to be enjoying being some sort of Temu Wrexham. Being in the same league as them is going to be unbearable.

I suppose you’re right but if he could be the difference at this level is it worth it, and to have him as a squad player in the Prem and with the chance of coming back down we’d have him in the Championship again? Its just thinking on all possibilities could even be style of play at Ipswich that prevented him showing his qualityHard to value Clarke. Clearly an excellent player at this level but he did pretty much nothing in the Prem which really puts a cap on that value and would put me off wanting to spend huge amounts on him.

Sinclair Armstrong has blasted £18.6 million worth of footballs into orbit apparently.Is their wage bill exceptionally high or something?
Well they were paying Palmer near 30 grand a week at one point so wouldnt be shockedIs their wage bill exceptionally high or something?
The only thing i got wrong was the bit about being in the same league as them being unbearable. It's actually been quite enjoyable watching them get regularly humbled and have the sudden realisation that they've spunked a lot of their funds on absolute shite including their zero goal Japanese superstar Kyogo.I'd like to think this has had more than a few hoofs on the relevant message board by now...
I'm far from taking the side of Sunderland usually, but Scooby-Doo himself would have better insight than the bloke who's adopted his name.
He was pretty anonymous in the prem last year. I'm not confident he's that standard of player, so to pay £10m + probably a hefty ~4 year contract doesn't make sense to me.Well we were rumoured 10m+ on Rak Sakyi summer deadline day, and we have the Sheaf money, also were rumoured 10m+ on Hughes all summer. You never know if he was the only business of January I’d call it a success
Yeh its difficult, how would you value someone who's a very good Championship player but who has been tried in the Prem and didn't cut it? Maybe £10 million at the start of the season when you are trying to build a team to go up would be fair, but where we are currently it does feel a bit like those funds could be used more wisely.He was pretty anonymous in the prem last year.

It depends where both clubs are, when getting towards the back end of Jan.Be amazed if Ipswich sanctioned a deal to a direct promotion rival
Ipswich away from home are relatively shite which seems to be ignored every time they win a couple of games for some reason. They really need to pick that up if they are to overturn the points Boro have on them, nevermind the points Cov have on them.It depends where both clubs are, when getting towards the back end of Jan.
At the moment one has a possibility of autos, almost guaranteed to make the playoffs as a minimum, whereas the other has just a possibility of making the playoffs. If this continues it could be a tactical maneuvre by Ipswich, using a player who isn't a nailed on starter for them at present, to have the Blades strengthened for games against say Hull, Boro, Cov and Preston, to boost their chances in a roundabout way.
Naturally I want Ipswich to have dropped to about 4th/5th and be a nice 10 points or so adrift of 2nd by then, but I have a feeling they'll probably be still more in the mix than that, unfortunately.
On the contrary, you got nothing wrong at all in your summary.The only thing i got wrong was the bit about being in the same league as them being unbearable.
