I suppose there isn't a great deal to say, but the season is now technically over as all the leagues have been decided, and we are entering a critical period of rebuilding. Even something glib along the lines of 'business as usual' might placate some of the more restless in our number. From a personal point of view, I'm pretty much in the what will be will be camp, right enough. From the club's perspective, I'm not really sure what they can do about this other than wait like the rest of us, but it might be best to issue some form of limited confirmation by way of an update. I think it's more about the players, current and potential future signings, than placating the fans. Maybe they are in the loop as they enjoy their holiday, I hope those already committed to the club are kept up to speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rock and a hard place for the club Drew. I have a strong feeling that it is business as usual as far as can be expected. I might be wrong (again) but I'd imagine that Jack and James have given Tony F a shopping list of targets in some sort of priority order. He will go after them but JR will be involved in talks with the players. A week is a long time in politics they say..... It feels like an eternity right now to me to get things sorted but it isn't. We will be onwards and upwards again soon with or without Jack Ross IMHO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, although the silence confirms for me that something is happening, and I expect a statement as soon as Jack is on his way to speak to Ipswich.

They will, though, have to factor in the imminent date of STs going on sale. Whilst I can't imagine that a significant number would either hold off from renewing/purchasing, there is a danger that the uncertainty that is around just now might have some impact. We really need to be capitalising on the feel-good factor that followed the league campaign. 9 minutes ago, St.Ricky said: Rock and a hard place for the club Drew.

It's fantastic we are going up not sure about the feel good factor though has it passed with the uncertainty? Was not going to renew my season ticket now I am Ross or no Ross. It worries me how long it's taken Reilly to sign it feels like we have been here before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon it is inevitable that the feel good factor would fade in any event, Ian, but the situation with Jack, Davis opting to leave, and Reilly not committing yet, won't help. So it goes, I suppose. A wee bit of positive news would certainly be a tonic, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could see JR committing himself to the club for the season ahead. We could see major signings. We could see the new home kit announced. Reilly, I am not so worried about. in the post Bosman era players look for longer term contracts for stability and certainty, especially if they have a young family.

A club surely doesn't have a press conference to announce a manager leaving - you leave that up to the club he's going to as they introduce him. So if there is a press conference I'd imagine it'll be because he's staying or we're announcing a new signing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's actually to announce that Dicko has joined the board 'cause he's full of exiting new fully-costed ideas and has the club at heart. Slarti Give it a break on StuD. He has ideas to contribute and his views stir debate. Those can't be bad things to bring to the forum whether or not you agree with what is being said, surely.
