I am the harbinger of doom. I am a sailor in the corner of a hazy, wood-beamed pub. Sitting by the slap-dash, half stained glass window I spill tales of woe, beer and deep sea dangers to any one who will listen. I do this partly to cope, partly to warn others and partly to sound wise. It's all I have left and I would appreciate being humored.

Tonight Ipswich play Wigan at home and if they do not win what follows could be total devastation that would be the end of club in its current form.

Without some kind of outside cash infusion very soon I'm fairly sure Evans will need to cut his growing losses and declare the club bankrupt. This of course means points deductions and other penalties. From the outside it appears the club is clinging grimly and pathetically to the hope we can hold on to survival, before closing our eyes and pulling the trigger. I can't blame Evans for trying to get the best outcome he can but it's a hell of a gamble.

What you have to understand is we will be going down no matter what. It is a case of when, not if. Limping through this season gives us another of Championship football next, and the slightly better prospect for Evans to offload but the club's situation is so toxic it won't happen. Caving now would mean going down in the same instant but at least we'd start at even for the rebuild. If we fail to stay up (and trust me, despite a few short weeks of apparent improvement a bit back, we are more than bad enough) and then have to take the punishments we start next season in League One at minus points and we will go down again. From there the bottom is anyone's guess.

Sometimes when teams go down it can almost be a good thing. Relegation clauses can mean getting out from under bad contracts and can provide an opportunity to "clear the decks". Unfortunately Ipswich already did that. The squad is put together with sofa change, ticket prices are already at the higher end for the league, every expendable staff member culled (even in the bars, I mean everywhere), every possible corner that can be cut has been savagely lopped off. There is no where else to go.

So I extend a plea to benevolent supporters. Pray with me for a win this evening, Wigan are already gone they don't need any pity. If Evans is going with this gamble then so be it I guess we're all-in. We have to stay up to have hope of a future rebirth.

I am happy for you sad poster :unsmith:

Thank you friend.

I was just looking at insolvency penalties because I'm a really fun kind of guy and for those interested (no one) the relevant section is 12.3.3 here.

If I am reading this correctly, because it is passed the last Thursday in March, an 'insolvency event' prior to seasons end would mean the deduction is applied at the end of the season and consequences decided thereafter.

So if Ipswich went insolvent now the season would carry on as normal and then if we finished more than 12pts ahead of relegation we would eat the deduction and stay up as normal. The difference of doing it after the last Thursday if you are relegated without the deduction, then it would carry to the following season.

So as I understand it if we came out of this season's penultimate game 16pts ahead of relegation, we could fold right then and basically get away with it. Granted it's dirty and I don't think it would happen that way anyway, but it's worth keeping in mind.

Then I'd go looking for Keith Stroud. I'd be hovering just down the road from his house, there. And he'd see us, but I'd duck down behind the trees, and he thinks he's safe, right? And he's just about to put the key in his front door, and I come up from behind the hedge, 'Hello, you bastard.' He panics, right? And he goes in the house, so I get the 30-millimetre canon and I take out the fish pond, coy carp in there couple of rounds each, right? And then I just tilt the helicopter over to one side and the machine-gun bullets is chewing up the drive, right? He comes out. 'Oh no! Not me Triumph Stag! I've just had it resprayed!' I cut it right in half, right? And then he goes, 'Ahhh!' He runs up on to the garage roof. I say, 'Right. This is for you, Keith.' He goes, 'No, no!' He's begging us, he's begging us man, 'No, please don't!' And then I fly off to Cornwall and I just smash in the sea in a big ball of flames.
