patred44 Posted 1 February, 2012 Share Posted 1 February, 2012 I was talking to someone from Ipswich TFC last night, and he reckoned they are a nightmare to deal with at the moment. No one will make a decision, no one will return a phone call. Any question to them can't be answered without referring it several people, most of them solicitors or players agents. The poor manager must be pulling his hair out, if he had any. The club is been run into the ground and board members and club officials are in hiding. It's like they have decided that no effort they make would benefit them, so why bother saving the club. They are relying on the FL to do something, thinking they will be embarrassed into saving them to preserve the reputation of football. It's like they pulled the drawbridge up. Abandoned any pretense of responsibility to fans, players, staff, and creditors. They have left the players to fend for themselves, choosing whether to stay or go, and leaving their agents to sort out new clubs for them. The players themselves are sick to back teeth with it all and want away, but with no one willing to take responsibility for negotiations hardly any clubs will bother to go through the agents and solicitors. This club is unravelling fast, and there are serious doubts as to whether they will even finish their fixtures this season. The PFA are lobbying the Football League to take over the day to day running of the club, but it would set a dangerous precedent. Selling players won't work, there is not enough of them, and anyhow they can't be replaced by loans as the parent clubs will not allow their players to be involved with them ATM. You saw that yesterday when WBA would not consider sending their players back into the mess. But what can be done with a club that is run so badly that the manager has to go down to ASDA's to buy toilet rolls for the training ground because no one else will take the responsibilty...
