Blues boss Paul Lambert and his staff met Town legends Terry Butcher, George Burley and John Wark at Playford Road earlier today.
Butcher revealed on BBC Radio Suffolk's Life’s a Pitch on Saturday that Lambert wanted to "get a few of the older boys together and talk about our opinions and things like that”.
Lambert was joined by first-team coach Matt Gill, new goalkeeping-coach Jimmy Walker, assistant manager Stuart Taylor and fitness coach Jim Henry as he chatted at length with the former Blues over lunch.
"It’s the first time I have been asked to come to the training ground and sit down and have a chat since I left the Club,” Burley told iFollow Ipswich.
"We all appreciated Paul asking us down and wanting to get our thoughts. It was a good conversation. We all want the best for Ipswich Town.”
Wark added: "It was great to be invited down. It’s the first time a manager has asked me to go and have a chat and some lunch as well and I really appreciated it.
"Paul’s obviously got a big job on his hands but the signs were encouraging on Saturday. You could see from the reaction of the fans at the weekend that they are right behind Paul and the team had a right go.
"He’s got all the right credentials for the job here and I just hope - we all hope - that he can turn things around here because Ipswich is my club. It’s our club.”
