When ME sacked Jim 06:21 - Apr 1 with 9412 views | StevieWhitton | When ME sacked Jim, and appointed Keane, he said he did it to allow the new Manager to have the last few games of that season to allow him to have a look at the squad. Forward a few years and now it's the complete opposite. How is MM staying benefiting us at all? It wouldn't matter who was in charge of the 1st team. We can't go up or down. As usual with the Club, just trundling along. | | | | |
When ME sacked Jim on 06:29 - Apr 1 with 8106 views | Benters2 | It’s clear as day Mick Mac doesn’t want to be here now,like I said in my thread it’s not helping anyone him hanging around. There are still 7 games to go,if they are all played in the same manner as yesterday’s game this isn’t doing anybody any favours! For fks sake Mick Mac either go,or give the fans some bloody enjoyment out of the last 7 games ! Is that really too much to ask? | | | |

However, if Mowbray or Cowley are the 2 preferred targets, I guess that can't be done till after the season has ended. [Post edited 1 Apr 2018 6:43]

Then you'd have the exact same situation with someone who isn't Mick. | |

When ME sacked Jim on 08:36 - Apr 1 with 7805 views | Herbivore | He clearly had Keane in his sights to come in. If we had that now Mick would be gone so it's either a case that we're after someone in work already or ME needs to take time to make the right appointment. Our season is over, I don't know why so many are still getting their knickers in a twist over MM. He's going, just ride out the next 5 weeks. | |

Because the season tickets are reduced Because he has been sacked Because there are so many people anti MM and ME they will not come/renew until at least one of them is out of the door and most importantly there is an opportunity to see if any of the current staff can step up Nothing good comes from him staying but there are positives if he goes | | | | Login to get fewer ads

I don't understand what you're saying. Mick is going, it's confirmed. I doubt there is anyone who is not going to buy a season ticket purely because he's going in 5 weeks and not now. We need someone in charge until a new man comes in, the season is over, it really doesn't matter who is in charge between now and the end of the season. There's no chance anyone currently at the club will be a candidate for the manager's job either. | |

Beacuse Klug could bring in some freshness and youths to gain experience rather than grumd down the players and supporters with a manager who clearly feels 'strange' and is not going ti change his approach and has fallen out with a large selection of the fan base. It is a bit mad reallty. | |

Still a ridiculous situation to have MM in charge until the end of the season once the decision had been made about his future here. Evans actually needs to show some proper leadership instead of this 'weak and feeble' effort which the club now finds itself it's quite embarrassing really. Honestly, how could either of them believe this was the right solution? Evans should have have cut his losses with MM and shown some b*llocks for once. Yet another poor decision which shows he is an inept leader and is out of his depth as a club owner. | |

It's not a unique situation, Warburton stayed at Brentford despite them agreeing he'd leave at the end of the season. Sure it's happened with Allardyce before. Mick's contract is up and it's not being renewed, we don't have a new manager lined up yet so let him see out his contract until we do get someone in. There's no point in getting rid and asking one of the other coaches to step in, it achieves nothing. | |

You're assuming Klug would want to take charge. Most of the youths that are ready have been in the squad this season anyway, not sure now is the time to throw in a load of 17 year olds and hope for the best. People wanted Mick to go and now it's been announced they're still finding stuff to complain about. | |

We have some very capable coaches here who could step in, with the added bonus of no relegation battle. I'm sure that even Burley would step in to the end of the season if he was asked to. | |

Genuinely though, what would be the point of bringing Burley in for 7 games? | |

There is absolutely no point at all in that suggestion. As with so many many things at Ipswich things simply are as they are because nobody at the top cares enough to come up with a solution to what is a ridiculous intractable but not insoluble situation. | |

Although other teams have made a similar managerial move, it doesn't make it right. Put MM on gardening leave and pay him until his contract is up to show your loyalty ME, then cover his absence internally until the official replacement is named. As you rightly say Herbivore it is only 7 games, but it could be 7 games for someone else to breathe a little life back into this club rather than drifting aimlessly towards the end of the season under MM. I'd be amazed if we get another win this season everything about the club is flat and lacks direction. [Post edited 1 Apr 2018 19:42]
