Quoted from lee65
I think it’s easy for us older posters to confuse Ipswich of old with the modern day set up.  In the last few years they have really fell off the pace when compared to most of “Premiership 2”

No real money, and crowds sub 15k on many occasions


Very true. Evans is apparently a real skinflint in the transfer market.

Having said that, Hurst was unwilling to do what Daniel Farke did up the road at Norwich and put some trust in some good young players from Bryan Klug's youth set up, preferring to sign players he knows and others of dubious ability.

Not nice to see anyone lose their job.

But, I for one will put my hands up and say I cannot stand the bloke and I don’t think it’s something I’ve ever put on record on here.

When town got promoted, obviously it was the first success since 1997/1998. For a generation of fans (myself included) that meant we saw absolutely no success during our lifetime to that point.  The overwhelming sense of desperation to see any sort of anything other than town plummet from one division to the next was immense. OK, granted we had the 05/06 season but that’s another story of misery for another time.

The day at Wembley was one of the best days of my life. Yet even still, when cupped his ears it left an awfully bitter taste in my mouth.

How dare he ? How dare he try and take the limelight from a day that I’d waited my entire life to date for ?


Regardless of what had been said before, why couldn’t he just be happy and enjoy the moment. If nothing else - let the fans enjoy their moment. We’d waited so many years of just pure dross for this and regardless of absolutely anything, we indirectly paid his wages for 6 years of those. Why couldn’t he have just let it slide for another time ?

I’ve been called petty on numerous occasions for feeling that way and “oh yeah, but it wasn’t aimed directly at you” however that feeling will always be in my stomach about the bloke.


That's right, mate, don't let anyone call you petty. You're a snowflake drama queen and bloody proud of it.

Couldn’t happen to a nicer bloke.

Did he spoil them or did he want six years again.!!

When he got his one win did he cup his ear.!!

Quoted from grimsby pete


New manager expected to start in next 24 to 48 hours,

I was told Lambert a couple of weeks ago so I expect it will be him in charge at Millwall on Saturday



Brian Klug for Saturday apparently although the new man will probably be there I guess

Never a good fit really....after Mick McCarthy whose approach and personality the fans really didnt like....unveil a mini version...dour & prickly personality, safe approach to games, a point is always a good point etc etc.

Short tenure wont harm his reputation that much so no doubt another League 1 appointment shortly somewhere further north.

Have met Paul Hurst and he is a perfectly pleasant chap
Competent to a degree, but that does not include Championship level.
All clubs in the Championship are potentially big hitters, some to the tune of multi millionaire.
I was at the game last night and Ipswich competed for most of the first half. Jayden Jackson is clearly out of his depth. Jon Nolan showed promise at times but not Championship standard. Toto not in squad.

It's about comparing running a corner shop with the local Asda. There is an increasing gap between the top 44 clubs and the rest, including GTFC.

Think we need to enjoy what we have whilst we have still got it. Think it won't be long before nobody clubs like Salford, Fylde, Milton Keynes, Forest Green and others leave us behind. They have the brass. We dont😀

I find some people's blinding dislike of Hurst a bit weird. Some fans are very fragile aren't they?

Decent manager probs should have stuck at Shrewsbury but hindsight is a wonderful thing.

I said it when he came in, slagging his predecessor off, and when he cupped his ear at Wembley. The guy has a lack of class so I’m not at all sorry to see him get the sack.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

Some Grimsby supporters seem to love collecting fairly irrational grudges and polishing and nurturing them for years, even decades it would seem. I am not free of this phenomenon myself, I have stated on here before that I would never forgive Luton Town for being founder members of the Premier League, and as for that Bosman bloke.....

Paul Hurst tried to step up a level and it was a step too far, doesn't make him a bad manager or a bad person.
