Town to Renew McPhail Move Next Week - Ipswich Town News

Town are likely to renew their attempts to sign Cardiff City midfielder Stephen McPhail on loan when the ‘emergency window’ opens next Tuesday, according to reports in Wales. The Blues are understood to have been trying to get the deal done before the transfer window closed yesterday.

Meanwhile, chief executive Simon Clegg has reiterated that money will be available to manager Roy Keane for strengthening, but that there is not a limitless supply of cash.

Clegg told the club site: "After the excellent start to the season we will continue to cautiously build the squad to fit the vision of the manager within a reasonable budget.

"Any club can simply throw endless amounts of money at the transfer market but firstly it is no guarantee of success and secondly it simply undermines the financial viability of the business.

"We are fortunate to have such a committed and generous owner, but a very high priority for this club is to ensure that we do not get ourselves into the same position we have been in before, a position experienced by other Championship clubs last season and which I fear we will see again in the not so distant future."
