I'm back at work having been well and truely knocked out by the common cold ... Most wuss-like I know, but I'm a man so what do you expect?Ipswich played Norwich (Our rivals) on Sunday and won 3-2; however this wasn't enough to keep Ipswich manager Jim Magilton in his job. 18 months ago Jim was given £12million to get the club challenging for play-offs - we haven't look likely play off contenders for the majority of the season and now at the tail-end of the season can finish no higher than 9th (play-off positions being 3 - 6) so Jim is out the door.
I liked Jim. He was always very approachable and wore his heart on his sleeve - and I wish him all the best where-ever he ends up in football.
Ipswich didn't hang around though and 24 hours after sacking Jim, hired Roy Keane to be our new manager. I can't wait for next season, as the appointment of RK promises so much.
In other news ...
Mia had a bloke knock on the door yesterday offering to buy our 10 year old Peugeot. Apparently he wanted it for banger racing, but didn't want to put anything on the transfer documents to that effect "Just put sold for scrap" which rang a few alarm bells ... We told him to leave a number and I'd call him back in the evening. Whilst I was out walking the dog last night he knocked again - Mia ignored the knocking as it was just her and the girls in the house, although he was pretty persistant .. 20 minutes after I got back he tried again, so I told him we wouldn't be taking him up on his offer, much to his disgust. I was struck by how much he looked like Ollie Hardy (From Laurel and Hardy) even down to the little mustache .. He must know, surely?
