    I am so glad I don't support one of the big fashionable clubs that have millions to spend and know the price of everything and the value of nothing! Of course I am talking about Chelsea and their fabulously wealthy owner who has just decided to sack Ancelloti. The guy won the double last season and finished 2nd this year all this against the backdrop of continual interferring from the owner! Take the Torres debacle for instance.

    Can you ever imagine that a club like ours would ever do such a ridiculous knee jerk thing? The board gave Keane the best part of 18 months and it was obvious to everyone at the end that his time was up. Can you ever have imagined John Cobbold saying to Sir Bobby just after winning the EUFA Cup "Sorry Bobby you only won one of the 3 major trophies we were going for this year so leave the car keys on the boardroom table on your way out!"

    At Ipswich we have always prided ourselves in giving our managers time to build a team despite bad results along the way. We have only had 14 managers I believe since 1936! With the introduction of Marcus Evans the trend of management sackings has increased with him sacking 2 in the last 2 years but I think that he had every justification in doing so. The allegation we can rightly pin on him is that he made completely the wrong choice in appointing Roy Keane but with Jewell I think he has finally learnt his lesson!

    Stability at the top is paramount in building a good football club and turning it into a great football club. In this day and age of instant results at all costs I am so glad that I support a club built on more traditional foundations.

    100% agree JWM - quite astonishing really. I though Man City were overly harsh when they let Mark Hughes go but this Chelsea decision really does take the biscuit and is only trumped by Newcastle letting Sir Bobby 'move upstairs' (when they were 5th in the table I think)!

    I agree too. I really don't think Hiddink will want to become full time manager there with the way Roman treats people. Sure he was happy for the short term job he did but that was under his terms. Chelsea can attract some big names but anyone who wants job security or total control of buying players will stay well clear.

    would have thought crowey would have had more posts with the additional digits he has from family interbreeding, clearly his family tree doesn't fork!

    We cannot mock Ipswich Town they are a club with a much more successful history than us, and history is definatley not a way of hiding from the fact that we are Premier League and their club has all sorts of problems.
