Former Blues skipper Sam Morsy has commented on the manner of Omari Hutchinson’s departure from Town and says he hopes the 21-year-old’s contribution at Portman Road won’t be forgotten.

Hutchinson is on the verge of a £37.5 million switch to Nottingham Forest having effectively downed tools over the past few weeks having made his wish to return to the Premier League clear.

Commenting on the situation on social media Morsy, who left the Blues last month to join Kuwait SC, said: “The ugly side of football. When a club no longer wants you, whether it be performance-based or political-based they will do what ever it takes to get you out the club. Name off locker, train with the under-21s, completely discarded. Manager and staff no longer even recognising you.

“So, when players get close to really good moves and they feel the value is matched, players and representatives have now a strong stance.

“There is no right or wrong in all of this. Young Omari and the club have done exceptionally well for each other. Without knowing the ins and outs the transition should have been smoother and both player and club should have been happy.

“A pivotal player in promotion a great team mate a good profit for the club. Hopefully his contribution will be not forgotten by the ITFC family.”

blueboy1981 added 17:25 - Aug 15 ….. it damages the Club in terms of attracting punters, or players to the Club. Some of the verbal abuse towards players have been nothing short of DISGRACEFUL !! You know who you are - so Hang your Heads in Shame - you taint the name of a long respected Club within the Game. Such was NEVER Ipswich Town Football Club.

armchaircritic59 added 18:02 - Aug 15 Shotmarine1969, and others commenting on SM's stance on the LBTQ+ community, of which I'm one. When the armband issue blew up last season, I did comment that he was as entitled to his opinion as anyone, whilst I didn't agree with it, it was very much his right to hold it. As for expecting any special treatment, I neither expect it or want it, far from it, just want to be an " ordinary " member of the community. It's all finished now and time to move on. As for his comments above on the OH situation, well I've read them and also between the lines, and it's probably best I say very little, other to say, no party has come out of this smelling of roses.

shakytown added 04:12 - Aug 16 Bert. Why should a player at a football club or a club need to fawn over other peoples lifestyle choices???? Does everyone have to agree with vegans or the rainbow community just because others say they should. Morsy and other people like myself do not denigrate their lifestyle choices but why should we be forced to support them????? Freedom of choice goes both ways and the way people are forced to pander to others in sickening- In my opinion
