    But that investment comes with an awful lot of liability if you have to take on debt to fund the acquisition in the first place, and secondly are staring at writing off c£20m because you've paid over the odds by comparison to a realistic and audited value of the club.

    It's fairly clear Grosicki, Bowen, Marshall and campbell are going. I'm told Henrikson's missus has already done one to Norway and Bordeux looking likely in the summer. That money from the sales will straight in their pocket and we'll have a concrete offer c20m next season, when we're league 1 bound. New owners to start again. Feel good factor to start again!!

    We where league one bound this season according to everyone on here and look what's happened.... Next year will be worse, but everyone thought this season we would be 100% league 1 bound

    Fair comment. I was pessimistic about our season. I had no real opinion in the manager, his history was chequered. He's done really well in a piss poor environment and a difficult league. I will respect him for ever more.

    I can't help feeling we will be in Ipswich position next term unless something extraordinary happens.

    I thought we were league one bound. Well done Nigel and the squad. I predict we will be league one bound next season to kick things off.

    It's a bit sad that you get your kicks from the old 'I told you so' thing. But unless something happens very soon.

    We will definitely be back in division 3 next season.

    Tbf to Adkins ... he has only enhanced a reputation that was suffering .. he started off well but recent appointments prior to joining us had left his resume sadly lacking. With what the bloke has achieved here other clubs will come sniffing and make suitable offers for him .. he will then be off with his trusted sidekick. The fk wits in charge cant see that for the pound signs covering their eyes .. so i expect next season we will have a manager who cant afford to turn a job down because very few others want them coupled with a pitifully short squad in numbers and quality, likely to descend rapidly downwards .. and with ******s at the helm who still think we are woth £30m + .. something to look forward to aint it.

    Has anyone mentioned Andy Crosby hasn't been offered any deal at all?

    Adkins was hia typically illusive self when asked by Burnsy prior to the game on Saturday .. said he'd personally had an offer of a contract but wouldnt say yes or no when asked if Crosby had also been offered one.

    This is just one of the reasons I think NA will leave us. He strikes me as an honest man and he knows he has to do the right thing.

    It's not "I told you so" it's just saying the vast majority thought we where doomed this season and look what's happened, so who's to say the same won't happen next season....yes it will be harder but again we said this season would be harder then last season and look where we are

    I have that exact feeling. The quality we have had in the side this season will mostly be gone. Maybe even the manager.

    Another ****storm orchestrated by dumb and dumber.

    Happy Anniversary.

    It's now five years since we were allegedly put up for sale.
