What Ipswich did, pretty much what every club wants, and that included us. Super rich billionaires who will just donate massive amounts of money to the club in a way that makes it capital / income and will allow us to "buy" two promotions.

We turned on Sandgaard when he didn't have the money to do that. Of course it didn't help that he was employing family members in certain positions, but it seemed to go wrong earlier than that. Summer transfer window in 2021 - Ipswich started their rebuild then, and yes it didn't go that well for them at first, but it was clearly the start. Wigan were also going out spending. MK Dons were building a strong team that year. We were not. I think Nigel Adkins had expected it and been promised it.

Yes that was the summer when it became clear that Sandgaard was a narcissist that believed that everything he touched turned to gold.

He clearly failed to recognise the difference between talent and luck. Talent is permanent and luck is temporary. It looks like his successes, in life, have been much more attributed to the latter than the former.

He was a delusional fool and we are very lucky that he is no longer involved with the club.
