The Fightback Starts Here

So Roy Keane has gone and now the players of Ipswich Town can get on with what they hopefully want to do; play football to the best of their ability, without being bullied all the time.

It’s probably a good thing that they’re playing Chelski on Sunday in the Cup, as if they go down fighting, it will be character forming at worse and if they win, then it will prove that money isn’t everything.

I should think that the ghosts of Sir Alf and Sir Bobby are laughing their heads off, as they share stories and they will be motivating the players in the ways only they know.

I’m going to Stamford Bridge tomorrow and the match could well be something special, no matter what the result.

But whatever happens, it will be the start of Ipswich Town’s fightback.

The fans seem not to like the idea of Paul Jewell as manager, but there are a few out there without jobs, who manage almost in the mode of Ipswich Town’s great ones of the past. Roy Hodgson and Chris Hughton to name but two!

  1. Let’s hope it is the start of a fightback for the blues! Roy Hodgson would be a great choice, but like a win at Stamford Bridge tomorrow i think it is very unlikely….

  2. I’ve heard from a reliable source that Marcus Evans and Roy Hodgson are mates. It might not mean he gets the job, but I suspect he’ll have some sensible input to Evans and Clegg.

    As to tomorrow, the players are playing for their future and nothing concentrates a man’s mind like hanging.
