The problem is if you cannot offer your sponsors the coverage they have had in previous years they will leave, and when next year you ride for a different club with less restrictive practices you will struggle to regain your old sponsors 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

foxxy 7 Posted December 3, 2018 I had always assumed that the selling of Witches season tickets in December was to give the 'Louis's' a bit of spending money over Christmas. I suppose that this year with Buster buying into the club that thats not needed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's starting to feel like the bad old days of waiting until after Christmas only to see a couple of dodgy Poles named in an uninspiring side. I'm generally fearful how weak we'll be. Hope I'm proved wrong. 87 and 88 we're crap seasons as well! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hardly a ringing endorsement of the new owner IMO. Indicates more to me needs/must or it would have been one big messed up league had he not purchased Pet/ipswich to drag them up in order to maintain a 3 league system. Without you two the Prem would have been screwed to put it mildly. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anyone knows if mighty Ben Howe fancies a come back? In all seriousness they need at least one exciting name and an excellent up and comer in the line up.

Daniel Smith 5,646 Posted December 3, 2018 So it's clear as mud now, Buster fully in control. None of this business as usual nonsense that Louis said. Buster holds the purse strings so he rightly has to have the final say on who comes in and how much for. I don't think the way he works will sit to well with the original Ipswich management. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And it's worth considering that if the divorce from the EU is a messy one then some riders from Europe may not get work here if the country adopts a twit for tat policy.
