Town manager Joe Royle says that just because his current contract with the Blues is up in the summer it doesn't mean that this will be his last season at Portman Road.
Royle joined Town in November 2002 after George Burley's sacking and says things have not quite been as he expected: "It has turned out to be a different job to the one I thought it was going to be. But that is not a gripe as things change in football.
"There is plenty more to be done with Ipswich Town and I have not drawn any lines when I would like to handover to someone else.
"My contract ends in June, but that is not a reason to think that my job working with Ipswich Town will end then.
"And I am not going down that road and saying that this will be my last job in football. There is no timescale on my managerial career or my time with Ipswich."
