All mouth and no trousers?

Quoted from Bigdog

To be honest, the last few games I've seen Amond play, he hasn't impressed me at all. Been a shadow of his former self..

Probably a fair comment but I still think he’d bag 15/20 at this level

Perhaps that has something to do with how he is being asked to play? The manager seems to have gone for a change of style up front.

Quoted from Hagrid

When have you ever heard Paul Hurst say that? Fool

Hagrid get back in your Paul Hurst quilt cover if you’ve got nothing nice to say. I tell you now the fans will not give him another free ride he’s got no excuses now. We the fans expect a competitive promotion challenging team this season, and if it’s the same crap boring football not challenging by Xmas then he’s gone, but don’t worry you can still leave his posters up on your bedroom wall.

Hurst has always snipped about budgets I’m pretty sure he moaned about a lack of finances as the reason when he left us for Shrewsbury, he definitely winged about the Ipswich transfer budget once sacked even though he spent about 3 million.

3 million is nothing at championship level anymore, especially when you’re facing a full rebuild.

Agreed and if Hurst only spent £3m, that’s still £7m less than Ipswich got for Garner, Webster and Waghorn.

I can imagine Hurst was a bit disgruntled at losing the spine of the team and only being able to spend 30% of that transfer income on replacements.

Whilst it was an easy decision to take it, much like the Cowleys at Huddersfield, Hurst was doomed from the start at Ipswich. They didn’t know what they wanted other than claw cash back and get rid of big earners…hardly great circumstances to work in, £3m doesn’t touch the sides in the championship…

That would be a good reason but when looking back to that season many teams had worse financial circumstances and managed to stay up with some team with the likes of Hull, QPR, Sheffield Wednesday, and Birmingham city not even having a transfer budget having to make do with Free’s and loans.

Well, seen as we were indeed a 'promotion challenging team', challenging by Xmas and ending in the playoffs for 4 out of the 5 seasons Hurst was in charge (and 4/4 when Hurst was in sole charge) when we were last in the Conference, we should be alright.

I deem challenging in this league with our resources as aiming to win the league! At least a strong play off position throughout the season, not limping into the playoffs at the end of season as we’ve seen before. I think if we don’t do it this season then we may be down here a long time.

Look I wish Hust all the best I hope he proves the doubters including me wrong. One thing for sure is that I won’t be on here criticising if things don’t get off to the start we hope. But by Xmas we will have an idea of where we are at.
