Clegg: Nothing Has Changed - Ipswich Town News
Chief executive Simon Clegg has repeated his backing for manager Roy Keane in the wake of yesterday’s tabloid claim that the Blues boss was set to be sacked.
Clegg said: "The reports are absolute rubbish. I spoke to the media only recently and reiterated our full backing to the manager then and nothing has changed in our position.”
Meanwhile, Sunderland chairman Niall Quinn has commented on Roy Keane’s remarks regarding Ireland’s controversial World Cup exit and the FAI: "I found them disturbing. I didn't enjoy hearing it. He did great for Sunderland FC and I won't forget that, but I won't always agree with everything he does."
Keane’s biographer Eamon Dunphy has also made his thoughts known on the matter.
