Joe Out to Break Curse - Ipswich Town News

Town boss Joe Royle says he is looking to break the Manager of the Month curse and is targeting five similar awards before the end of the season.

Royle picked up his third Manager of the Month award of his spell at Portman Road earlier today and told the club site: "I know all about the curse that is said to go with the award and we will just have to break that.

"I also hope that five more Manager of the Month awards come my way this season, because that would mean we would be in with a great chance of making the Premiership."
