As an Ipswich Town football fan, I am watching with interest the change of direction the club is currently going through.  A year ago we were a large club for the sleepy smallness of East Anglia – built on a dynasty that had lasted decades, we were a real family club – great values for investing in our youngsters and local money to do it with.  Ambition was quietly driven with 5 or even 10 year plans!  Very rarely was the boat shaken.
