    We aren’t Ipswich.

    Players watch these videos the playoff scenes were everywhere, all your footy pages constantly post about our away followings, and then there’s the Netflix documentary.

    Our profile has remained high, even in League One we were a story, we got way more coverage than Wolves or Leicester did when they dropped 3rd tier.

    You have a phenomenal marketing team, stadium and facilities second to very, very few.

    We are not Ipswich.

    I would never want to be owned by them if it happened yes the club would win things, but it doesn’t make it right.

    however, despite Hendo being a hypocrite I’ll never judge a player for going there and setting up their family for life.

    that’s why we work ultimately. They get bigger spotlight because of being premier league footballers but if I was offered the same and guarenteed my family that life id do the same too.

    I do judge him for it but equally accept imperfections.

    I mean, maybe Henderson was just uneducated at the time?

    The fact it’s so polarised alone makes Hendo a no for me.

    Harmony at the club right now is a thing of beauty. These playoffs reconnected the fans in such a wonderful way we can’t hinder or damage that.

    Don't worry, we were able to attract championship calibre players like - Pritchard, Evans, Batth and Roberts to L1. Hume joined us in L1 despite there being Championship interest. Cirkin turned down a good deal at Spurs to join when we in L1. Able to sign Ballard when most of the championship wanted him despite us being newly promoted. Mayenda turned down the big clubs in France to come play for us in the championship. Aleksic joined despite some big German clubs being after him. Le fee joined us in the championship despite top Europe clubs being after him.

    We will attract quality players for sure, we target the players who have room to grow and that will open the door to plenty of players

    If we’re shopping abroad the wages we will be able to offer compared to even some of the best teams in France for arguments sake (minus PSG) will be more than competitive. And that’s what it comes down to a lot of them time, we can sell the project to them of course but players go for money more often than love of the game.

    It’s true, but I also think people want to test themselves in the best league. I don’t think they come just for the money.

    I think due to taxation etc there are leagues where players actually see more of the money than the PL.

    Mad really, had I been good enough I’d have been ‘start Sunderland, go somewhere I can win a PL, SOMEWHERE HOT, end Sunderland’

    Not sure how true this is.

    but news from Ajax camp. Hendo wants a return. He’s going to retire and wants to end his career with us as that where he started

    Nothing concrete mate, strong links to Jobe being off to Germany and a possible Henderson return that’s pretty much it

    Its something to do with them calling him the wrong name or a name he doesn't want to be associated with

    With Amad,

    its apparently because they were calling him derogatory names and referring to him as surname, which he doesnt like, as his surname has heavy links to bad people back in Ivory Coast, so he wants to remove himself from all of that, so only goes by Amad,
