Jim Wants Sam Sorted - Ipswich Town News
Boss Jim Magilton has urged striker Sam Parkin to sort out his future sooner rather than later. The Town manager has confirmed that the Blues have accepted bids from Luton and Preston believed to be in the region of £300,000.
Magilton told the club site: "Luton and Preston have made bids which have been accepted by the club and now it's down to Sam what he wants to do.
"Things have not really turned out here as well as Sam would have hoped for and I can't see him staying at the club.
"I would like to get things sorted out as soon as possible, hopefully by the weekend."
Preston boss Paul Simpson said yesterday that he is becoming frustrated at waiting for the 25-year-old's decision.
