Slade .... to Ipswich

[Bry Nylon]

An old friend who is close to backroom staff at Ipswich have told me tonight that Slade is a target for Portman Road vacancy.

They have been tracking Slade since he left Yeovil, and last night's result at Bristol was major factor in Magilton getting the bullet at 10pm.
The fact that Slade's contract with Brighton expires in early May is another a major factor...

hope you are wrong...but wouldn't that be just typical!

 

[Dez]

They waited to see if we won before sacking Magilton?!

Absolute rubbish!

 

[Hiney]

Roy Keane was the name mentioned on TalkSport earlier

Keane favourite according to Sky Sports website to

I was thinking the same today. Irrespective whether we stay up or not, he's done his CV no harm at all.

I hope his short term contract doesn't come back and bite us on the arse.

Sky Sports are reporting that Roy Keane will be named Manager at Ipswich in the very near future, so hopefully that blows that one out of the water.

 

[RM-Taylor]

Roy Keane will be confirmed as manager tomorrow, it's been running on Sky Sports for about 2 hours

Absolute rubbish!

2 Ipswich directors and one major shareholder were at the Bristol game...

I hope so. Guess it's only prudent for ITFC to have a contingency.

Keane and Pardew in that order on the Ipswich hitlist.

 

[Da Man Clay]

They'd have to be scraping the barrell a bit (no disrespect to Slade as I think he's quality!). They're looking for promotion to the prem and Slade hasn't done anything above league 1. They've already gone for an untried manager at that level, I would be amazed if they didn't get a fairly big name up there. Ince/Keane/Pardew maybe.

 

[Insider]

Someone's had you...

Absolute rubbish though, because:

1. SSN confirms Roy Keane expected to be confirmed as boss in the next 24 hrs.
2. Nobody from Ipswich at the game last night (unless they paid at the gate, very unlikely). Jason Dodd was there scouting for Middlesbrough though.
3. Magilton sacked at 10am, not 10pm.

forget that comment

You'll have been disappointed with that old friend Bry

Can put your money on Lambert there i reckon

 

[Horsham Gull]

yeh maybe had to re read what i wrote before i speak again...you never know they might be looking at some of our players too

Aye. I made it up whilst watching "You're Fired", and a combination of seriel text / SSN watchers and 'Insider' made it all unravel within a space of 20 minutes...

Pesky kids *shakes fist*

 

[Notters]

What ever, give him FIVE years now!

Ipswich used to be such a nice club, playing nice football, that were too nice to sack managers and were nice enough to supply two managers for the England job. Now they have had David "Handcuffs" Norris playing for them and want Roy Keane as boss. What's going on?
