Ipswich Town fans believe the club is far better prepared to survive in the top flight than during their last promotion campaign, according to comments reported by BBC News.
Supporters pointed to the club's transfer business as evidence of progress, highlighting the signing of Exequiel Palacios as a marquee addition. The move is said to represent a record-breaking outlay for a newly promoted Premier League side — a level of investment fans say Ipswich have never previously seen.
One supporter, Shaun, described the transfer window as "brilliant" overall, suggesting the club's recruitment strategy shows a marked shift in ambition compared to their previous stint in the Premier League.
The comparison to "two years ago" reflects Ipswich's rapid rise through the divisions, and fans now feel the squad has been strengthened significantly enough to give them a stronger footing this time around. While BBC News did not detail further transfer specifics beyond the Palacios signing, the overall sentiment from supporters points to genuine optimism that lessons have been learned and resources better deployed as Ipswich prepare for another crack at Premier League survival.
