As far as i can see Joe has done nothing to warrant such abuse from our fellow fans. IMHO opinion Royle was here to do a job- to preserve Ipswich Town Football Club and to make us challenge while we got out of financial difficulties. IMO he has succeeded and he has made 1/2 dodgy signings but at least we finished in the play-offs last season.

Good imo. He may have been given the job and expected to get promotion but that was before administration, sale of players and all of the fallout. He also managed to get an underperforming team with low morale to turn around their season and move away from the foot of the table.
People suggest other managers but what have they ever done? Joe has experience of struggling sides with money problems - like Oldham - and he has won promotion before. He also deals with all of the stress of the clubs money problems and manages it with a bit of humour.
Managers like Coterrill - no disresepect but what have they ever done? May have had success in lower leagues with Cheltenham but walked out on Stoke after 4 whole months when 'big' club Sunderland came in for him. And was part of a management team that lead them to the worst ever points total. Prefer a bit more loyalty and proven track record.

He had plenty of chances. Great 'super sub' but could never start due to putting on weight and losing pace after his injuries. With the wage he's on good luck but goodbye!!!taren wrote:I voted bad for the sole reason that he has got rid of my favourite player (Reuseur), and never gave him a proper chance to prove himself.
As for Joe i voted Good. Came in perhaps not knowing our huge money problems and dealt with them brilliantly. Not afraid to use the youth system which all us itfc fans are proud of.
At the end of last season we were all hoping that the youngsters would stay........... so far they have. I'd rather keep them than the players we've lost.
No longer can we say we are a Premiership side in the 1st Division(Sorry Championship) Thats a title we've got to earn, and Joe's one of the most equiped managers in the Division to do it.

Rating JR
Yup. Little to add to the comments above. I rate JR big time. When GB left he seemed to have managed to turn a great side with huge positive vibe into a group of guys with no idea what they were supposed to be doing and heading to div 2. I rated GB but how did he manage to do that ?
JR got them going again and in pretty much the most difficult situation imagineable. Now that we got rid of the inflated wages and egos from last year we might see some real spirit this year.
This time next year we will be either begging Sheepshanks to persuade him to stay another year or bemaoning the fact that we can't get quality managers to want to come to Ipswich any more.
Good with a capital G.

Good or Not - well although I have moaned at various times this year I think BFJ has done a good job.
I think we were carrying tooooo many players who believed they were world beaters after having one awesome season. I am not sad in the slightest to see Jamma go - he had some great games last year but on the reverse didn't even seem like he turned up for the others. McGreal and Makin were injured for vast parts of last year - so its not as if they contributed much really. Reuser in my opinion is lazy and only concerned with himself. Players who warrent being in the side will perform - Reuser never has consistently.
I think Joe was badly let down by alot of players the past 1.5 years - alot of those players have gone now and hopefully so has there arrogant, lazy inept performances. Yes we ar egoing to thin on the ground next year but Give us a couple of seasons and I think we will be strong again.
By the way does anyone think that our midfield problems might be helped by playing Darren bent on the right - or - for real madness young Bowditch there.

I agree I would say good but I would have liked JM to have lost the captains armband and maybe used him as an experinced head for only 60mins per match.crikes wrote:I believe he has done a fairly good job under difficult circumstances.
I think now we have got rid of some dead wood and a squad (albeit smaller) of players who want to be play for Ipswich we could be dark horses this year.
I am still waiting to see what other signings Joe can tempt here
