Mate of mine Is an Ipswich fan and the rumours over there are that we’ve had a conversation club to club about the availability of Brian klug
As I say, just rumours. No knowledgeable source or anything just am guessing, the fishy equivalent in east anglia

End of the day if you worked out the percentage of successful managers weve had out of our total, and itll be the same for alot of clubs, it will be pretty low, 20% at best. If you look at clubs these days that are managing sustained success or sustaining themselves at their optimum level in the pyramid, theyve usually adapted this kind of club philosophy. If you go from a jolley to a slade you have to clear out the squad and start again.
If we can have a staff that looks at the most succesful football in league two, have an idea of what we want to do, then choose a 'head coach' based on that, and weve already been able to scout out transfer targets that will suit them ahead of time because that coach plays how we also already wanted to play, meaning weve also already got players weve invested in who suit that, and youth coming through whove been coached to play that way also, were miles ahead. Its so sensible im suprised more people arent all for it, especially after watching fenty give someone a rubbish budget, sack them for not doing well, getting someone else in and them inexplicably then be able to fund a mid season desperate squad rebuild because the manager had a complete different set of ideas. Old fashioned football idealogy is stupid and it didnt matter when we used to casually rollercoaster up and down the leagues but the whole budget just came from gate receipts, times have simply changed.
I mentioned the other day that Hurst is the least qualified manager for the incremtal improvement approach which has been mentioned many times, and the approach you have just outlined would seem to suit their philosophy much better. For all his strengths, PH did not have a set style and all his many signings were not brought in to enhance any particular format, and the current squad typifies a team brought together but not knowing really how they are expected to play. The owners will not want to decide what style of play to adopt, and will want to leave that to a football man who can then get a head coach who also believes in that way of playing so it does make more sense and will start to give the club a much needed identity. If that is their approach I am all for it but a big downside to it is sometimes egos get in the way but I am sure they will be a clear differention of who is in control of what from the outset. |

I don't know if this is true, but i'm sure he grew up in Grimsby? Maybe Jason knows him personally but a mate of mine is also an Ipswich fan and says he'd be a great appointment as he was the head of coaching and player development. I'm not sure if the rumour is true but i'm pretty sure he grew up in the area. |

He is a GRIMSBY man and played for GRIMSBY Boys about 10 years after my husband did and he is 75 now. So that makes him in his 60's now so can not see him being a manager for the first time at his age. |

Wasn't speaking about being a manager mate, more fulfilling the head of football role. It's the role he held at Ipswich for some time. |

As for backroom staff - I think we fail to realise sometimes our staff is unusually large compared to some L2 clubs. I remember the Fenty days when a manager turned up just with his assistant and off they went (glad we’ve progressed).
Interesting comment that. In the past when did we sack an assistant manager ? For that matter, I seem to remember various back room staff around the place well before 1878. Ben Mortlock. Steve Croudson or another when he had a spell at Lincoln Ben David Greg Howard Various analysts came and went But don’t spoil a narrative with facts |

He did think he was a town junior n left for Ipswich in the mid 70s.been at Ipswich for 25 years, so would be a helluva wrench for him. Interesting tho, given the only other gossip/rumour concerns a director of footballer rather than manager. |

Born in Coventry according to Wiki, that said loads of football experience and oddly enough caretaker before PH arrived at Portman, wouldn’t it be bizarre if PH had but him on 1878s radar? |

The good thing is that there are many more Coaches than there are Managers, so there could well be some very good Coaches from Premier League teams, or their Under 21's, who might be interested in becoming a Head Coach

At the end of the day, it's just a title, a label. They will be in charge of the team be it as a manager or head coach. Don't think there is a difference.
