Royle Wants a Return - Ipswich Town News

Former boss Joe Royle says he is ready to return to club management. The 57-year-old left the Blues in May after three-and-a-half years at Portman Road.

Royle said: "I have had a good break and I feel thoroughly refreshed. If the right club were interested in me I am at the stage where I would like to have another crack at it.

"But I am not desperate for a job. It would have to be the right job at the right club, a bit like when I joined Ipswich four years ago."

Royle has recently been linked with the vacant jobs at Norwich, where he spent time as a player, and West Brom.
