Town: We Have Conducted Ourselves Under EFL Guidelines - Ipswich Town News
Town have responded to Shrewsbury chief executive Brian Caldwell’s comments claiming the Blues had made an illegal approach for Paul Hurst by insisting their conduct was within EFL guidelines.
In a statement to TWTD, a club spokesperson said: "We have total respect for Shrewsbury but feel we have conducted ourselves under EFL guidelines.
"We have also agreed a substantial compensation package with Shrewsbury should Paul become Ipswich Town manager."
Earlier, Caldwell expressed his "disappointment" in the manner of the Blues' move for Hurst, which is expected to be confirmed along with that of his assistant Chris Doig either later today or tomorrow, claiming it constituted an illegal approach.
"I got a call yesterday morning at 10 to 10 from Paul’s agent, which was a bit of a surprise to be honest with you, saying that he’s had an approach from Ipswich wanting to speak to him,” he told BBC Radio Shropshire.
"In the meantime, by 10 to 10, he’d spoken to Paul and Paul had intimated that he would like to talk to Ipswich.
"We found out after that and that’s actually, I’ve got be honest, that’s actually an illegal approach.”
