MacAnthony: Taylor to Join Town? Don't Expect It - Ipswich Town News
Peterborough United chairman Darragh MacAnthony says Town fans shouldn’t expect Posh midfielder Jack Taylor to join the Blues this summer.
Taylor is a long-term Town target having had multiple bids, the final one approaching £2 million, in January.
Earlier this month, Peterborough’s director of football Barry Fry said he expected the 24-year-old to move to a Championship club, naming the Blues as among the contenders.
However, asked on Twitter this evening when Town fans could anticipate Taylor joining the Blues, MacAnthony appeared to dampen down those expectations.
Briatol City have also been linked with the Irish U21 international, while we understand Middlesbrough and Millwall are also keen.

Blackburn Rovers 1-0 Ipswich Town - Match AbandonedTown look set to face a return trip to Blackburn Rovers later in the season after this afternoon’s game was abandoned after 80 minutes due to a waterlogged pitch with the home side 1-0 up and with the Blues down to 10 men. Jacob Greaves was shown a straight red card four minutes after the break for hauling down Yuki Ohashi, then Rovers skipper Todd Cantwell netted a penalty on 59, but the heavy rain had made the game increasingly farcical the longer it progressed and in the 80th minute referee Stephen Martin took the players off and then 25 minutes later abandoned it entirely.
