Clegg Out News Today

Ipswich Town Ist, the Supporters Trust, handed their 5,000-signature petition calling on the club to opt for Category One Academy status to chief executive Simon Clegg prior to Saturday’s 3-0 home victory over Cardiff City.

Manager Mick McCarthy and chief executive Simon Clegg will answer shareholders’ questions at this year’s PLC AGM, which will take place on December 11th in the Sir Bobby Robson Suite in the Sir Alf Ramsey Stand (7.30pm). The meeting is open only to shareholders or their proxies.

Town have announced that chief executive Simon Clegg is to leave Portman Road after four years at the club. A press release from Town says that owner Marcus Evans and the rest of the club’s board will take a more active role in the running of the club.

On-loan striker DJ Campbell says he doesn’t yet know what effect Harry Redknapp’s appointment as manager of his parent club QPR might have on his own future. The 31-year-old is with the Blues until January 5th with the Premier League’s table-proppers currently short of strikers.

Newcastle United have announced that they will be unveiling a statue of former Town manager Sir Bobby Robson before their last home game of the season against Manchester City on Sunday, 6th May. The Blues paid a similar tribute in 2002 (pictured).

Town manager Paul Jewell says owner Marcus Evans is “ultra-positive and optimistic for the future” and has been very supportive of him, despite the recent run of seven games without a win.
