Despite the fact that there has not been a lot of transfer activity for Ipswich Town so far this summer, there is an element of optimism amongst Tractor Boys fans. However, the bookmakers do not appear to agree with this optimism as most bookies have placed nine teams ahead of Ipswich as favorites for promotion. [...]

The administrator set a deadline last week of the 31 st May for bids to come in for Coventry City Ltd. However the question still remains of what potential investors will be bidding for. We have been told there are multiple parties interested with one being the bid backed by American Tycoon Preston Haskell. The information [...]

Controversy continues at Coventry City as issues surrounding the club remain unclear. In the past week a number of things have been confirmed but all of these have created new questions and none have answered the one question we all desperately want answering. Let’s start with the positive in that the American property tycoon Preston [...]

There have been many things that Ipswich Town have been lacking on the pitch this season, but many have emphasised the need for a goal-scoring midfielder over anything else. The likes of Luke Hyam and Guirane N’Daw have been great at supporting the defence and preventing the opposition’s creative players from having an impact, and whilst there hasn’t [...]

It has been a week that no true football fan will ever forget as Sir Alex Ferguson finally decided it was time to bring to an end his illustrious career as manager of Manchester United. Manchester United will always be Sir Alex Ferguson’s creation. He made the club become the powerhouse in world football it [...]

Many fans will be glad to see the back of Micheal Chopra and Jay Emmanuel-Thomas when they leave Ipswich Town. Both players promised so much but rarely delivered for the Suffolk side when they were needed most. That said, when in-form the duo can be very useful, so will they be missed? In regards to [...]

It has been another year of disappointment despite signs of promise throughout, a year which ultimately has been defined by off the field issues. Focusing on the football side of things though and it has been a drama filled season. We started the season with last year’s caretaker boss Andy Thorn in charge of first [...]

There have a been a few memorable moments in Coventry City’s history with the most notable being the historic FA Cup victory of 1987 but for me personally it was a match which took place 8 years ago this week that will live forever in my memory. The match I’m referring to of course is [...]

News coming out of Coventry City is once again of a controversial nature. It has emerged this week that owners Sisu have taken Coventry City Council to court over their bailout of ACL. Events on the field are not much better as Coventry look to be ending the season with a bit of a whimper. [...]

Every Ipswich fan across the country will have breathed a sigh of relief after the 1-1 draw against Sheffield Wednesday. Even though mathematically they need one more point the Tractor Boys should be safe now on 57 points , as it would take a very strange set of scorelines to stop Ipswich from being safe on their [...]

It has been a while since Ipswich have had a consistent strike partnership for a full season and this season has been no exception. At one point this season Ipswich had 11 players that have at least occasionally played as strikers. The disappointing part is that out of all the forwards that have pulled on an Ipswich shirt this [...]

This week has brought about more revelations as Coventry’s off the field issues affect a whole other aspect of the club. Financial problems are not rare within football and neither are the implications that come with them for the first team squad. We are yet to see the extent to which this situation will have [...]

It is pleasing to look over the great results that Mick McCarthy has been achieving at Ipswich and to see that his tactics have been paying off. The worrying part is that other teams have also been pulling off unexpected results. Normally just over 50 points would be enough for a team to stay up [...]

It has been another week to forget off the field at Coventry. With Administration now officially confirmed and the inevitable ten point deduction being applied City are left with all but no hope of reaching the playoffs City fans also remain in the dark over the future of the club with very little information coming [...]

The last week for Coventry City was supposed to be a defining week in the clubs history and whilst in many ways it has been, there are still so many questions that have been left unanswered. The confusion which now surrounds the club began late on Thursday evening when out of nowhere owners Sisu chose [...]

It was surprising to see an Ipswich player make national news for the right reasons last week. In case you didn’t see the story; Ipswich youngster Tyrone Mings made headlines as he noticed that a fan on twitter was “too skint” to make it to the Bolton game, so sorted him out with tickets to the [...]

It’s been a week of rumours and legal precedents for us City fans as the club continues its turmoil off the pitch but at least the Skyblues took a step in the right direction on it with a 1-0 win over relegation threatened Hartlepool. Off the field problems seem to be all us city fans [...]

At various points during this season and the last I have been discussing whether Jay Emmanuel-Thomas will ever reach his full potential as a footballer. At the end of last season when JET hit some good form I remember raising the point that if the former Arsenal man kept up that form he could be [...]

Mick McCarthy has made a name for himself by being a manager that is great at grinding out results. His style may not always be entertaining or exiting but he prides himself on making every side he takes over hard to beat, which could be the key to Ipswich’s survival. The criticism of the former [...]
