Keane Set for New Deal? - Ipswich Town News
Town have begun discussions with boss Roy Keane regarding a contract extension, according to a report in one of Sunday’s papers. Keane’s current deal is up at the end of the season.
The club are said to be ready to offer Keane a two-year extension to his current Portman Road contract on improved terms.
Earlier in the week chief executive Simon Clegg said that talks regarding the former Ireland skipper’s future would take place at a later date: "At some stage before the end of the season we will sit down and have a discussion with the manager.
"Without any doubt he loves living in this part of the world and as I have said before he is the man that the owner and myself believe can take this club forward.”
