Ashton Writes to Fans at End of Town's Summer Recruitment Revolution - Ipswich Town News
Blues chief executive Mark Ashton has written to fans at the conclusion of Town’s summer recruitment revolution, Bersant Celina and Samy Morsy having become senior additions 18 and 19 ahead of today’s 11pm deadline.
Dear supporters
I wanted to directly speak with you ahead of the summer transfer window closing later tonight.
We’ve signed 19 players this summer - two of those being finalised today - but that is all in terms of incomings.
While I cannot rule them out, any outgoings in the final hours of the transfer window are highly unlikely.
I wanted to take this opportunity to thank a wide range of people behind the club who have been absolutely fantastic in a very busy summer.
I also need to say a big thank you to the board, the investors and the owners in enabling us to bring the players in that we have and build what we feel is a great squad.
There’s a lot of hard work ahead of us - both on and off the pitch - and as I’ve said before, we can only achieve success together. Now, let’s get down to work and get on with the season.
Thank you, as ever, for your fantastic support.
Mark Ashton
