Deadline day

I think this just shows the intent of ME. Surely MM was aware of this before putting pen to paper on a new contract. Surely we should be thinking at least about buying some young talent from lower leagues and hope they work out (any transfer is a risk - part of the game) and then sell them on for a profit if needs be at a later date.
I find it all a bit sad really, but then the Leisure industry is feeling the pinch at them moment so ME may not have any cash to play with. Time for him to sell up maybe?
Just my thoughts.



I think buying from lower leagues is something for the summer window tbh.......January is more for instant rewards and problem solving which is why the fees are inflated.

You are kidding? A man who is worth £700m, and who's fortune rose by £75m last year alone?
Just the interest alone on his fortune could bankroll us to the premiership.


He might be worth that on paper but I'm sure he hasn't got that much to hand at the moment. I maybe wrong - if so, why is he not investing? Either way it's not good for ITFC going forward.
 
That's the $64,000 question!
As someone on here mentioned previously, maybe he wants to do it the hard way so as to stick two fingers up at all the big spenders.

To me, what difference does it make if we're £80m in debt to him, or £70m? If it's in line within the FFP rules, then spend it - if you want to see your dream of Ipswich in the Premiership.
 
Ipswich Town boss Mick McCarthy has told owner Marcus Evans that he is more than happy with the squad he’s got ahead of what is set to be another quiet transfer deadline day at Portman Road.

Says it all
 
I take what the media writes with a pinch of salt.
If he's not being given any additional funds, what else is he to say?

Didn't we see that with Cardiff a few years back, when the manager publicly quoted that his chairman is not giving him any more funds? (we all know what happened after that)
