Chairman May Resign - Ipswich Town News
Chairman David Sheepshanks says he may resign if the Blues win promotion back to the Premiership. Sheepshanks, who has held Town's top role since 1995, is currently employed in a two-day-a-week, £70,000-a-year role at Portman Road.
The chairman, a board member since 1987, says he will consider his future should the Blues get back into the top flight: "I'm here to see the club into the Premiership - beyond that I couldn't say. One day it will be time for someone else. We have got a job to do here, which is to het back into the Premiership and I firmly believe we are on the threshold of doing that."
In addition to his role with Town, Sheepshanks has a number of other positions including membership of the FA's main board. He is also on the FIFA Club Task Force, the Ipswich Town EAST board (Town's community trust) and is a motivational speaker, while he has recently become involved in a new football advisory business called Alexander Ross.
The new Town chairman would come from the existing board.
