Relegation means they get Trigger as boss? Will that be an improvement on Mick, Hallam? Nice blue suit here.

lol I doubt it.
Personally I don't think we'd "bounce back" if we went Fownhope. I think that we would be the end of us...slipping into oblivion

Re: Would relegation be the trigger?
I think you are very correct. Just prior to Mick being appointed when ITFC were rock bottom, I said the very same words....., League One would be a disaster and that ITFC would become the new Coventry City ----> league one for years.
But I don't think relegation itself will be the trigger. Fairly positive the trigger will be pulled long before relegation becomes a reality.

Re: Would relegation be the trigger?
Been saying that for a long while that League One is where we'll end up in 2-3 years time. Most recently last summer. Not surprisingly though I was criticised by a few.
Not saying that'll definitely happen but this is my prediction.
Evans' policy is going to be a reason of that. His unwillingness to make us stronger and better, cashing in on assets and replace them with unwanted cheap rejects and loanees will send us down. We aren't moulding a decent team for the future. Year after year we fill up the squad with bodies.
Mick himself is getting us closer to the disaster too. He won't admit any mistakes, he does stick to the same plan week in week out when it's clear it doesn't work. Too proud to admit his own mistakes and seek for other solutions. It's all about his ego. Self-obsessed person ..... his methods or nothing for Ipswich Town.
Should we be lucky that Evans isn't Cellino, Venkys etc etc??? I don't know what makes him better than other dodgy owners as he doesn't care about us, he doesn't have the club in his heart nor our fans. Puts the absolute minimum to keep the club afloat and this is his only 'commitment'. Doesn't liaise with our fans and keeps sending his puppet Milne to spout some crap.
Ipswich in League One would be an unbearable pain for me but it is inevitable if the current policy is going to be maintained.
Don't care if I am slated for that or nor but Marcus Evans is a killer of Ipswich Town. Horrible greedy crook and we're slowly declining on and off the pitch.

Re: Would relegation be the trigger?
A quicker and ultimately better 'trigger' could be a 0-4 or 0-5 hammering.
I don't want to lose any game, but talk of relegation at the moment makes me think of a slow death of 0-1's and 0-0's this season. Is a hammering any worse than a succession of marginal defeats and 0-0's ?
If you're going to pull the plaster of.... rip it off fast instead of a long painful torture. If we're going to lose, then lose with the attitude of trying to win games rather than trying not to lose. Trying not to lose ... and then losing makes me think we deserve what we got.
I would rather we resolve this now early in the season than just slowly choke ourselves throughout the season. There's no need to slip into League 1..... change of some kind from MM / ME now could mean the 0-0's and 0-1's turn into 1-0's and 1-1's.
We have time to change things , but I've run out of faith with MM and ME.

Excellent analogy there. And who knows "ripping off" better than Mevans?tangfastic wrote:If you're going to pull the plaster of.... rip it off fast instead of a long painful torture.
