Why Ipswich Town Must Sell

|

The deep hole that sits in the pocket of Ipswich Town football club means that selling their best players is not a possibility but an inevitability. Around 9,000 supporters have renewed their seats for next season but this is a fall of approximately 4,000 on last season. No real surprise there, given the fact that nobody knows when the new season will kick-off – or indeed whether any supporters will be allowed to attend!

These are sorry times at Portman Road both on and off the field and with a financial shortfall that could amount to at least 9 million pounds is it any wonder that owner Marcus Evans will shelve his five-point plan so that he can cash in on some of his brightest talents.

Now, I know what you are thinking. He is a very rich man and could afford to carry this loss if his heart was genuinely in this club. You are probably right, although it must be noted that for him it has been a double whammy because his conferencing kingdom is also on its knees due to this Coronavirus pandemic which has cut great holes into worldwide economies.

It is wonderful to hear that Armando Dobra and Luke Woolfenden have signed long term contracts but this is only to ensure that they are not sold off cheaply which of course has happened too many times before. This is the insurance policy against that and we can only hope that because of it we will get a good price for all of our future stars that will be heading out the exit door.
