Evans Still Backing Jewell - Ipswich Town News
Town owner Marcus Evans says his reasons for appointing manager Paul Jewell are as strong today as they were a year ago, despite the Blues’ lack of progress since the 47-year-old’s appointment. Evans was writing in a lengthy interview in the programme for today’s match against Blackpool.
Evans wrote: "I have spoken to Paul about my plans here, to build a team that can reach and then compete at the highest level.
"To achieve that we need stability and so long as our manager and coaching team demonstrate the knowledge and clear ability to take us forward, I see little point in restarting the project every season by switching managers.
"The reasons I appointed Paul are just as strong today as they were a year ago and I believe given time and with my continued support he will return the good times to Ipswich Town Football Club.”
In addition to the programme being available around the ground, an online electronic version of the programme is available here.
