Is it me, or is this the most pathetic excuse in the world?</p> "'I've thoroughly enjoyed my time at Layer Road, however the decision to cancel the game with MK Dons has really upset me. I love the National Hockey Stadium. Its a wonderful ground, with a splendid atmosphere. The fans there are what football is all about. Some of them have even been going for 4 years now, and thats the kind of loyalty all football fans should adopt.' " </p>
And people complain about us. The team that finishes 2nd in the league now has no manager, Chairman on holiday and no signings. There'd be a riot on here if that was us.
Thing is.............. he's no mug. He realises that they are almost certain to go straight back down-even when they have finished 2nd and got automatic promotion they averaged less than 4000 home gates so the income stream won't be there</p> Ipswich take all the floating fans in that area, the club has no money and no prospect of any</p> All in all he's best going now while on a successful high rather than at the end of the season when he's taken them straight back down</p>
