I'm an Ipswich fan so I'm well aware that's not the case thanks. But stability and continuity at a club is vastly underrated, as is having a manager who at least pretends to care about the club and the area.
Town sacked former captain Jim Magilton for 'underachieving' in a year we finished 8th and just outside the play-offs. I remember him being booed when we drew at home, and the excitement which greeted the rumours that 'big name' Roy Keane was coming and the reception he got for his first game. He was never right for the club, he made some terrible transfer decisions (selling Jordan Rhodes for a pittance for one) and nearly took the club down.
The whole reckless ambition which is taking over football is what is making clubs change their shirt colours and add animals to their names at the expense of what a lot of fans actually want. And I'd say the ones who care the least are probably the ones most likely to be plastics in the first place.
That's why so many people admire Ian Holloway even though he's really a bit of a clown. At least he is realistic with the teams he brings up to the Premier League.
