We're all happy we've got money.
We're all happy we're bringing exciting players in.
But can we not descend into teenage glee at our ability to outspend and outdo our rivals?
There is no class in that.
Yes, it's been a long time since we've had anything to shout about, but some of the gratuitous rolling around in the money and mocking other clubs we beat to the punch is pretty cheap and disgusting for me.
I always thought Ipswich fans had a bit more class than some. To see people turning into Harry Enfield's Loadsamoney at the first sniff of a fiver is a bit...disappointing.
We'll win a lot of games hopefully this season. But we'll all look back on it more fondly if we can win them with class and a touch of humbleness that takes into account how close our club has been to going under in the past.
Football has a horribly predictable way of dumping those who let arrogance get the better of them, right back squarely on their arse. |  |

As ive said elsewhere.
All this spending power is getting a bit embarrassing, but in a good way, like when you wearing speedos and everyone realises you have a huge 'set of keys' |  | | |

I agree |
Can we at least have:
"We've got the clean-est ro-of, in the league." |  |

It's a pendulum. We've suffered the other side for so long that some people are now being complete bellends.
If we go up again we're still not going to compete with parachute payments so we'll be on the other side again. |  |

Completly agree, did we learn nothing from waving monopoly money at Nobwich when Evans took over. Look where they are now compared to us. |  | | |

Agree completely.
Enjoy our good fortune, but don't be the gobby tvvat that everyone else mocks behind their back. |  |

I don't think we are out spending by much, we've sold players, cut the wage bill almost down to zero and rebuilt.
We've been lucky in that we've been in a position to do it as football copes with a seismic financial impact because of the new owners and investment but its not like we've gone all Man C.
Besides we've had nothing to cheer for 15 years so can we not enjoy it...? |  |

No we will not...This project is up, up, up. | |

We should enjoy it.
But not being a bunch of cuuts. | |

Accidental down vote there, J2 - still getting used to these thumb things. |  |

Agree. But good to remember what happened in 2007 (until just last year) and particularly in 2018. We are a long way from success... but rock bottem has been hit, so let's enjoy the ride with a big smile on our faces. No need to be co(ky but equally no need to call the fun police. |  |

Agreed.
I know you're making a more general point, but: I'm slightly embarrassed at the treatment of Jacobs. I can see that sometimes it's "kill or be killed" and that you have to be a bit ruthless in the market sometimes, but I take no enjoyment in this particular episode, and I think that Cowley has been fairly restrained. |  | | |

Tbh PC would have explained the situation.
Dont forget with Jacobs it would be a massive risk based on his Knee op etc. He knows it. He prob will be gutted but I'm selfish and glad we pulled out when a top target was available instead. Under Evans we would have got both. |  |

Agree. Been saying for a while we need to keep our heads down a bit. A) because class etc and b)mitigate embarrassment if it goes t1ts up.
Its a losing strategy to be gloating all over the place. Lost nothing if you do actually p!ss the league but just look like wallies if you don't.
Same as why I was pleased we've got boring kits this year. Last thing we need is more gaudy baubles attracting attention to us. | |

Exactly this
Enjoy our new ownership, celebrate and be happy
But do it with respect for the rest of the league, signings do not automatically mean success.
Some of our fans seem to take great pride in behaving like complete helmets online | | | |

You would think we would have learned after waving notes at Norwich fans after Evans’ takeover! | |

We would have got neither. The fifth choice stop-gap option perhaps. | | | |

Really tho what is it. A mini group of people on social media I comparison to thousands of sensible fans.
Makes us look stupid but it wont stop. All teams have them. | |

Are you kidding?
We'd have spent a cool £1m resigning Skuse from down the road | | | |

i agree. let's crow when we've won the league. |  |
| And so as the loose-bowelled pigeon of time swoops low over the unsuspecting tourist of destiny, and the flatulent skunk of fate wanders into the air-conditioning system of eternity, I notice it's the end of the show |
