Big Joe to Ipswich

Big Joe at Town
Former City boss, Joe Royle, was yesterday paraded as the new manager of 1st Division, Ipswich Town. Royle was offered the job after a lengthy search following the decision to sack George Burly.
Joe is likely to be up against it from the off, with Ipswich fans still carrying a grudge because his City side beat Ipswich to automatic promotion in 1999. Royle even had the audacity to say at the time that City were the better side!!!
Ipswich fans can console themselves with the fact that Joe has a better promotion record than their club in recent years and that they will no doubt become a "massive" club once Joe get's talking to the media.
All City fans will be hoping Joe can complete the job and take Ipswich down another level .... Ipswich Town, you are the weakest link, goodbye.
