For context Ipswich have spent £193m so far this summer.
Ipswich.
We need to all realise where we are as a club.

That comparison means absolutely nada! It doesn't even make any sense?! What are you on about, Stevie? Jesus wept!

Ipswich can spend ££££££££££££ the Premiership is worth ££££££££££££ and clubs get £££££££££££ no matter what position they finish, while Gers or Tic get £3.5, m for winning a title if yer lucky.

Unfortunately we're a 3rd rate Scottish side at the moment. We showed it last season, and have shown it so far this one.
I know it's difficult to get around here, but the only thing we've not tried is patience. We've tried changing managers, we've pretty much got a new 11 already, and that's after doing the same last summer. We've tried blowing cash at all 3 managers over the last 18 months. We even have a new CEO in place. Filled with Rangers men, as some on here demanded.
Unfortunately, to build success it's going to take the yanks a bit of time. Maybe 1 game a week this season gives them that time to get it right. Also, no Europe this year means no Squad Cost Ratio for our finances.
Maybe Cavanaugh is planning on blowing about £20M before the end of the window, and has new commercial deals to cover the gaps.
Maybe we are in for another looooooong season.

We're not competing with them tho. How much are the teams we are actually playing paying?

Irrelevant when we are being horses by our financial minnows.

Watched the game last night, and here we are again, huge turnover of players, terrible start in the league, out of Europe to two very mediocre teams, and we look like a collection of players that are lost. We are back discussing whether DM should get time or be sacked.
It feels like a never ending loop for me. Whether it is right or wrong, the Aberdeen game on Sunday is make or break for DM and he has to start getting results and a cohesive way of playing asap.

The point is how small a club we are now in the grand scale of things.
The players they can attract, and money they can spend compared to us, is why it's relevant.
