I did try to tell you, but you wouldn't listen.
Keane is a mental.

Meanwhile Magilton seems to be doing quite nicely at QPR.
Wonder what he could have done with Keane's transfer budget?

Not much better than Keane has done I'm afraid. It would seem players just don't want to come to our club.

As for how he is doing at QPR, it would seem he has learnt from his mistakes at Portman Road. He is playing a consistent 11, not swapping and changing all the time. He has no mates at QPR so trying to sort the team so he can play his golf buddies isn't an issue. Fair play to him, he has them playing well. Shame he couldn't do it for us.

Still can't believe how this is going, didn't expect a win either, but, if we don't win the next game he'll have to go.

Lisbie and Rhodes scoring for fun does piss me off, okay not the same league, but putting the ball in the net is what it's all about, either you can finish or you can't, Zamora took the step up in leagues quite well (okay he's no world beater, but he certainly can do a job)

As a side note, I watched Norwich play on Saturday (free tickets at last minute so took my 3 year old along), impressed to see the stadium full, and Norwich playing decent football, Swindon were poor in fairness, but was good to watch (pains me to say that, but then i'm not a idiot blind faith supporter)

Ipswich will get going, just hope it's not too late and the teams around us don't start doing the same, that's the danger.

The players are as much to blame as Keane himself. Im not a fan of his but if the players dont know how to shoot then god help us.

Given he appears to be nothing more than a rabid psychopathic bully might it be the case the players don’t actually dare or want to?

Rest assured we saw plenty of this north of the Waveney under The Rodents expert guidance.

My contact in the dressing room confirms as much.

They are st scared of him and confidence is at a massive low. Our top scorer of last season was on fire pre-season and yet has only just racked up his first goal of the season, having only had fleeting appearances all season.

That's not good.

I'm seriously worried about relegation unless something changes.

Tell them, if they win, dirty boy will give all the team a marsbar mini and an issue of the latest x-dressermag.

That's a promise.

If they win two on the trot, send them all a copy of the next edition of x-dressermag magazine "signed by the author"

If they win three on the trot, i'll dress up as a woman, and appear in the fecking thing!*


*this may be a lie, unless great financial reward is offered.

A novel concept but as yet Sullivan and Gold are yet to buy a new club, not sure such things are really Mr Evans sort of thing?

I think that's all going fantastically well to be honest. I couldn't have written a better script. I'm hoping that Roy stays on for as long as possible, he's doing a great job, certainly a lot better that I ever could of dreamed of!

Ipswich apparently signing Peter Taylor as a coach.

Not sure what to make of it, but if it gets Roy away from the man management during training sessions, leaving him just to motivate for a match, perhaps it's a good thing...who knows.... Peter Taylor isn't exactly a world class operator at club level (although his under 21 record was excellent)

More fingers crossed rolleyes

Gutted.
You've got someone in to man-manage who isn't an utter c*ck.
Anyone that dilutes the mental of Keane is going to help you.

Ah well, was fun while it lasted. Give the teams immediately above you are nearly as sh*t as you I have a horrible feeling you might get away with it.
You lucky b*stards.

Not yet signed, sealed nor delivered.

Anything that helps has to be good though.

Indeed.
After 2 days working with the squad, Keane decided he doesn't need any help relegating Ipswich, he obviously wants all the credit!

Ipswich are odds on to get their first win against us tomorrow.
Our away form is shocking and if ever a team is on a bad run we are gauranteed to end it and give them a kick start.
I'd love to be proved wrong of course but its all set up for your 1st win.

The thing is, I don't think he'll go. Whether this will turn out to be a good or bad thing, I'll reserve judgement for now.

Ask me again in May, when we are either in the playoffs or booking tickets for sunday league football next year.

Worrying times.
