Re: Blackburn Rovers vs Ipswich Town Match Preview
ME's comments in the NF Matchday Programme seemed to suggest that MM will have money available to continue to improve and strengthen. Time of course will tell. But, taken together with Ian Milne's recent comments, I take that to mean that we will be competitive in terms of players' wages, rather than investing in large transfer fees - which may now be the trend in the C'ship, given FFP rules etc. (Acknowledge, however, that the whole model is unbalanced by parachute payment funding).
Therefore, MM will presumably be looking at players coming out of contract at the end of the season, or using the loan market astutely. Other clubs will no doubt be doing the same.
Whether modest investment earlier this term might have been the difference between POs and automatic promotion, we'll never be certain. Although I believe not recruiting a specialist RB has probably cost us goals and points over the season.

I get the impression Town are trying to side line agents. Not a bad thing.

Website to get tickets is annoying. Went from a 4 minute wait to 42 minute wait. Then went from 34 minutes back up to 46.
