Town chairman David Sheepshanks has welcomed the Football League's moves to dock 10 points from clubs in administration. However, he says that the Blues would not have been subject to the sanction, an appeals process having been put in place.

Sheepshanks says: "This is a very positive day for the Football League and I'm very pleased the league board backed the modernisation plans.

"I was very cautious about supporting the original plans as it was a 'one glove fits all' situation which I felt was grossly unjust.

"But now there is an appeals process in place which takes into account massive damaging factors, such as the collapse of the transfer market, the collapse of ITV Digital and the loss of money which had already been budgeted and the arrival of a transfer window, all of which affected Ipswich Town badly."
