Chairman David Sheepshanks and chief executive Derek Bowden are continuing the process of recruiting the new Town manager. First interviews should be completed by Wednesday before the pair draw up a shortlist with second interviews scheduled for next week.

Bowden told the club site: "We have seen a number of applicants for the job and they have all been very passionate in their desire to come to Portman Road.

"We still have a few more people to see and then the chairman and myself will be drawing up a shortlist."
