Stead\'s Blackpool Move Breaks Down - Ipswich Town News
Jon Stead’s proposed move to Blackpool is now reported to have broken down. Earlier reports claimed initial talks between the striker and the Tangerines hadn’t gone well after a fee in the region of £200,000 had been agreed earlier in the week.
The former Sheffield United, Huddersfield and Blackburn frontman is said to have returned to Town for training.
Prior to Stead’s proposed switch to Blackpool, the ex-England U21 international was unable to agree terms with Bristol City. The 27-year-old is understood to be on wages approaching the £12,000-a-week mark at Town.
