    They are 10 th and only three points off the play-offs seems very strange timing now that the transfer window has just shut.

    It means Bates doesn't have to spend any money. Woeful chairman.

    Has Magilton left Ipswich yet?

    On this note, I'd like to say how ugly the new BBC Sport website is.

    My Leeds-supporting friend claims there was a rumour going around before xmas that Bates would sack Grayson and install Di Matteo. I guess he was just waiting for the transfer window to close so the new man couldn't ask for any money to be spent.

    Di Matteo would clearly be a better choice than Warnock anyway.

    Bates is a cowardly chairman. I wish the next poor sod to take that job all the luck in the world....they will need it!

    Undeserved, but I can't say that I'm surprised.

    Ridiculous decision but I can't say I'm surprised...

    And I think the new BBC website looks great!
