As with most clubs the managers have paid the price for outcomes that they were not solely the architects of. I still believe Burley is a great manager, there is no disputing Royle's CV - but what about Sheepshank's ? Whilst I have no real problem with Magilton's appointment he is clearly new and will be a yes man for the board. I just hope they don't turn him into another scapegoat when a few too many bad results come along. We have great infrasructure and fantastic support, now we need strong vision and leadership from the board. Seems a bit like blind optimism to me.

Sure there are going to be ups and downs along the way but we should not lose sight of the bigger picture. A team is being built at Ipswich that has the potential to bring premiership football back to Portman Road and I'm chuffed at the current approach the club has to turning our fortunes around. Oh and the 'Belfast crab' made me laugh, not heard that one before... gwan Jim! A nice article and a fun read, I agree with most of this and am similarly enthusiastic about our future under Magic.
