I think you’re looking at £120-150m to survive. £100m if spent well gives us a shot if the manager is canny enough maybe.

In fairness I’ve only just seen the angle from the Twitter post above! Happy to concede that we got away with one there…
It's crazy but even that doesn't sound a lot, inflation on all things, when do Skye, the prem take account of this?
To be 'fair', outside of top USA domestic league, I can't think of any other strikers/forwards other than Wright and Sargent playing at a higher level.
As poor as both have been (excluding Haji's two months up until October) I think it's a given they will both be included in their squad.
Pepi and Balogun arguably at a higher level
Ipswich and Southampton both spent over 120 mil and were shite.
Fair enough - As I said, I was unaware.
Poch has to include three strikers in his squad surely?
Although he wouldn't deserve it on current merit, Wright would probably still get the nod over the top American striker playing in their top domestic league.
Pepi, Balogun, Sargent, Agyemang all playing at equal or higher level who could easily mean he doesnt make the squad tbh
Yep-mate of mine an Ipswich fan said the same thing that it’s the best you have played all season and he now hopes it’s the springboard that he thought it was when you beat us last time.
Oh come on. No one is going to be embarrassed. I wouldn’t be embarrassed about spending a bit and going down or walking away with a huge sack of cash and few points. One thing we simply can’t do is over stretch.
Our worst performance of the season,there best performance of the season we move on quickly from it try and remember how to score goals again and quick.
Agree, but is he going you need a few games to get up to speed?
I went for a piss after the 2nd goal and had to fight my way back up the stairs
He is yes, be good if he was fit for Stoke in the cup, ideal for him but it might just be a week or two too soon
I think you'll find it's going to be somewhere inbetween sooner or later.
Id be pretty embarrassed about spending 25 years and the best part of £100m all told to not even give it a go tbh.
None for us?!
Not sure how Walton got in, he had nothing to do
Exactly, how the hell can that Ipswich keeper be ahead of Rushworth for the team of the week.
Person compiling the team purely looked at the result and saw clean sheet away at top of the league without any knowledge of how the game actually went is the only thing I can think of.
It looks like Ipswich may be to you what you are to us tbh. Which is a pain in the backside for us lot too, the games we wanted you to win more than any other were the Ipswich ones and us no longer having a single CB fit now couldn't have came at a worse time.
Here's hoping that we are to Ipswich what they are to you, to complete the crazy triangle and we can make it 6 points off them at Portman Road once we have a defence again.
TV rights alone this year were £6.9 Billion, I would think Doug would love a share of that alone. £120 m is peanuts, that's how mad the prem is now!!!!
He actually out scored Rushworth on their site. No idea what these are based on:
Well Ipswich were light years ahead of us on the night. They did a number on us with the physicality helped by a stupidly lenient ref, but even he did not change the result IMHO.
Being unable to rest players caught up with us and we looked really tired.
Missing JDS and his ability to retain possession was sorely missed. Don't think we hardly won a header in their box and we missed Bobby from set pieces.
I thought this was the second match where the gung ho approach didn't work. The other being Ipswich away where they picked us off on the break again. The way Ipswich were so much in charge, should have prompted a more defensive substitution to nullify Clarke. Would certainly not have won, but may have held out for a draw. Sometimes you have to be pragmatic.
The pens? Hardly ever given. Saw a replay where the Ipswich player took off Wolfie's shorts in their area? WTF?
Special mention for some Ipswich fans on social media. What a bunch of fuckwits. I get they comprehensively outplayed us and I would expect them to crow but the insults are relentless and unjustified.

Clean sheet probably carries some weight and doesn't legislate for the opposition having one shot
Rudoni criticism is too much. He has been poor and is miles off last year, but let’s not forget he wasn’t liked last season initially either. He needs to play himself into form.
Comments around buying into his own hype or attitude/arrogance are mental. He’s come from the lower leagues and worked his way up - he isn’t an elite academy primadonna type. All noise from the club is that he’s a great character.
Comments re MVE’s form are fair - and it’s frustrating as we have a ready made replacement in KKH. I honestly think he’s persisting with him while he’s ill for the long throws.

I think those scores are probably the player's season average not the scores from the game last night
On the opposite side , they run right wings! I'm still not sure it was a stone Waller tbh. Given as a foul outside box everyday of the week but inside threshold is alot higher. I'd be disappointed if it was given against us as a bit soft tbh
