Rhodes Chuffed With Town - Ipswich Town News
Town's new goalkeeping coach Andy Rhodes says he is thoroughly impressed with the Blues' facilities. The 39-year-old has taken over from Malcolm Webster who has joined George Burley at Derby County.
Rhodes told the club site: "It's a wonderful opportunity for me, especially linking up with Joe and Willie Donachie again from my Oldham days.
"The opportunity to work at Ipswich was too good to miss. There was no decision to make really, it was a question of 'shall I start walking down now'?
"The facilities here are magnificent, as a player it is just what you want. You'd love coming in to work in the morning, you'd never want to leave."
