Not that its going to happen cos dode is doing a job as scotland boss.
hi, im marko, from edinburgh, scotland, been a town fan since 78, was in london in 78 visiting an uncle with my parents, just so happens that the town were playing arsenal that day in quite an important match if i remember! I remember literally thousands of town fans walking past my uncles house with banners and flags. I was only 9 but i remember thinking... That horse badge is well smart... and followed the team ever since. Been to a few town games, decided to stop visiting games against norwich, been to 3, 2 losses and a draw..... so im a feckin jinx in that area!!
Just wanted to ask about George Burley. I rated the man as a player and a manager. In fact i thought he was a brilliant manager. I was somewhat confused when he was sacked years ago after relegation. Ok that was a bad season, a very very bad season, the whipping boys of the premiership, but i honestly thought George would've turned that around. Does anyone agree on that point? I know its ancient history, and maybe its because i've been quietly disappointed with every manager since even though Jim is far better than Joe Royle... (delighted when he left!)
There are lots of what i would call "massive" clubs in England, sleeping giants so to speak.... wolves, Forest, Leeds etc.... I wouldn't put Ipswich in that category but they are a big big club with history and deserve to be in the top flight. Even if the money was available, and even though Jim is Ipswich through and through...... Im not sure if he's the man to get the town out of the championship.
Any views on that?
