I would think that the problem Cook MAY have is players foisted on him, but probably has the strength to face that up with that nice Mr Ashton. On a separate point I hear that he will be leading the team out at very home game to ‘Simply the best’ by Tina Turner playing over the PA system. With his baseball cap on back to front. And Ashton 1 on his back. Edited August 7, 2021 by Richard Head 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TV Tom Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Apparently Ashton addressed the squad after today’s game and said “ football is a series of peaks and troughs and you don’t know if you are in a trough until you’re climbing out or on a peak until you are climbing down and that’s it, you never know what’s around the corner, if you want the rainbow you’ve got to put up with the rain.

KernowRed Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Today on BBC Transfer News Paperwork, not points at Portman Road Ipswich Town have signed winger Bersant Celina on a season-long loan from French side Dijon, pending international clearance. Kosovo international Celina, 24, had a season-long loan spell at Ipswich in the 2017-18 campaign and becomes their 18TH signing of the summer transfer window. Ipswich are 21st in League One, with no wins so far this season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unan Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 18 players over 25. Cook used the size of Ipswich's bloated squad and number of loanees as an excuse for their poor performance after he came in last season. At the start of this summer he said he wanted and was looking forward to working with a smaller, more tight knit squad as that's far more conducive to getting performances and results. Since then they've filled and exceeded reasonable squad numbers again and used their full allocation of loan spots. Either Cook's arse has fallen out, he's that drunk that he doesn'tremember what he's said or Ashton has morecontrol of their transfer activity than Cook does. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrizzleRed Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 This is already starting to look like us all over again while Ashton was here. I know Ipswich didn’t exactly set the division slight last season, but surely they didn’t need this many new signings. MA is increasingly looking like that shopaholic who gets a buzz out of buying new things, but after a short time, they don’t feel new any more and he just wants to go out and buy more. I’m sure their fans are lapping it up, as under Mad Mick, the old owners kept the purse strings very tight. Once the reality sinks in that they are lumbered with a team of misfits, they won’t be so happy. Ok, he could surprise us and actually make more of a go of it with a strong manager in place, but after witnessing the total train wreck he turned our club into, I certainly wouldn’t put any money on it and can only see a few years of pain coming up for ITFC fans.
