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.
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)
I think that even if we were looking to buy it's still best not to admit it .....keep your cards close to you chest to avoid inflated prices.
