I May Have to Go - Matt - Ipswich Town News
Town skipper Matt Holland has admitted that Town may be in no position to turn down an offer for him. George Burley and David Sheepshanks have consistently said that Holland is the last player they'd want to lose but the Town skipper says that economic reality may mean he leaves.
Holland said in his Independent on Sunday column (http://sport.independent.co.uk/football/comment/story.jsp?story=323337): "The World Cup seems a bit of a distant dream now and bizarrely I am probably worth less now than before. Although Ipswich have said they do not want to sell me, economic reality may force their hand. Aston Villa are the latest suitors and both clubs' decisions will be heavily influenced by money.
"The state of the game is exemplified perfectly by my worth, despite the World Cup. What am I worth? It depends on the debt levels I suppose but, at a guess, around £4m. Seems ridiculous. Football has some soul-searching and penny-pinching to do."
