Duo Win Awards - Ipswich Town News
David Sheepshanks and George Burley have added to this season’s haul of awards at Portman Road. The chairman has won Chairmans’ Chairman of the Year while Burley has won FourFourTwo’s Manager of the Year.
Sheepshanks said: "I’m very flattered to receive this honour from my fellow chairmen. It is very humbling. But really huge credit has to go to George, the players on the field and all the back-up staff.”
FourFourTwo editor Mat Snow said of Burley’s award: "Nobody can deny that Ipswich have had a stunning first season in the Premiership. For George Burley to secure European football at Portman Road is a wonderful achievement, particularly as he works with a limited budget compared to many of his counterparts in the Premiership.”
The Manager of the Year proper is announced next week.
