What odds for Hurst getting the sack at Ipswich and coming to save us from league one relegation....again?!? Now that would be a twist. The new Martin Allen?

But would we, or Shrewsbury Town, trust him again? I would think he’s burnt his bridges here to be honest.

Do you realise how pethetic we look discussing their results. Get over it ffs. Why care about what people think? The only people to think any worse of us for discussing it is an ipswich fan trawing for reactions to what's happened and who honestly gives a rats sass what they think? Can you honestly tell me that when you saw the result on your phone, you didn't have a little smile. There are a couple of people who are still comparing Askey to Hurst and I think they may need to forget for their own good but a general discussion on how we all feel is obviously needed otherwise it wouldn't have been created. I dont click the discussions that are going to irritate me and it works well.
I still have a look at Tranmere and hope they do well under Micky, anything wrong with that? Nothing wrong with doing it with PH.
I think it's actually wierder to want people to stop talking about it. You cant pretend he doesn't exist just to please the rare visitor from another forum who we dont really care about anyway.
Was only thinking the other day, Mr Mellon has done pretty well for himself, now managing a club much closer to home and where Leauge 2 is an acheivement so everybody's happier than in his STFC days.

I agree, I don't see it happening, but it could turn out that it may have been better for both parties to stay as they were in the summer. Hindsight is a wonderful thing. Although there's plenty of time and work to be done for both ourselves and Ipswich, before we will see if Hurst leaving was the right call.

Have always said that PH would have benefited with one more season with us,stabilizes us , prove to everybody that he is not just a one hit wonder, then maybe move on , would have worked out all round then , still feel that he has run before he can walk, just hope that it works out for both clubs and parties, but we will have to give JA time and support.

Would we also then buy back Nolan and Nsiala whilst also claiming the sell on percentage!!

I doubt that Tranmere fans consider being in League 2 an achievement. They spent slightly longer in the Championship than us, and much more recently, and only left League 1 when we did last time. Most of their history has been as a League 1 club. Also, I was very happy in Mickey Mellon's first season at STFC. He rebuilt the squad, shook off the deep depression from what had gone before, gave us a very entertaining team, promotion and a great League Cup run. Who was unhappy!?

Depends where you are coming from. Locally, for example, Wrexham and Chester who used to be established leauge clubs would probably be happier to be even near the top of non league now. With MM, things went down towards the end of his tenure, fans, MM and even Roland, wondering if he had to fire the bullet, unhappy. MM must be happier now with a little bit of success again and good luck to him.

Agree - but sadly once in L1 he started to use up that goodwill, by his second season it was upsetting. Glad he was able to leave for Tranmere - be interesting to see if he can work in FL with the transfer window in place as I feel that not being able to bring in a steady stream of new faces was his downfall with us.

Please don't keep this thread alive. It's embarrassing. Quite. If we had won last night or were top of the table, running riot and scoring for fun I probably would be able to muster half a f**k to give about an ex employee, as it stands though, we've got larger tasks in hand. Can't recall this amount of hullabaloo when Simpson was at Stockport (aside from that glorious away day in 2010) or Mellon at Tranmere...

There fans are as fickle as ours . Lots of discussion about his knowledge of lower league players and is it enough to survive in the championship. Talk about his formations and inability to change things...😁

Please don't keep this thread alive. It's embarrassing. Why? Fans often focus on other teams that have some relevance to them aside of their own team. We often get threads on more local teams such as Rexham, Heffers and KFC. Ipswich is very relevant at present so keep this thread going - especially with them going great guns at present, long may it continue.

I think it's fine, not that I gave a flying flip about Ipswich until PH did what he did, however, now I am interested in how they do. I also like to keep an eye on lots of other clubs, some I would like to see fail, others I want to see do well, Ipswich now falls into the "fail" bracket for no other reason other than because of Hurst ripping the heart out of this club and not having the nuts to be a man about it and him not giving a shiny sheet about Wembley or the fans, staff or players he wasnt interested in. At the end of the day the bloke will NEVER be out of work for long even if he fails at Ipswich because that is just how it is with football. Steve McLaren will be the next one to get paid off for failure but will be back before you know it.. OK that bit was lsightly off topic but what I mean is if Ipswich fail Hurst will still come out smelling of roses

Others include ManUre, Wolves, Wrexham, Telford, Ipswich and MK Dons.

Agree about Villa and WBA. Liverpool are worth watching at present- the only entertainment from United comes from Jose’s cringeworthy interviews. As for Crewe, you must have been unhappy last night.

Ipswich Town fans saying they need to play up front. Sounds familiar. Zero chance of PH doing that.
in the interest of balance I notice that Macclesfield are doing badly too.
