Could Ivar have stayed if he wanted? It seems to me that if, as Brian said, he wanted regular football, I don't see why he's more likely to get it at Ipswich than here: same level. Better wages there, though, I should think.
I said occasionally here that I thought Ivar did well for us this season, but I didn't press the point because of the general criticism of him going on. I think we played worse after he was dropped after Nottingham Forest. He was occasionally caught out, but so were all the defence.
