Clegg: I’ve Got A Cunning Plan PT2

Town’s new chief Executive Simon Clegg explained the thinking behind the second part of his plan to turn Town around.

The second part of Clegg's plan is "Ensure that as a result of owner Marcus Evans' investment that Ipswich Town remains better off than many other clubs in the Championship but also continue to operate on a tight financial model."

Explaining this Clegg said: "Marcus and his team came in and felt there was some fat and the club was still operating at Premiership levels of staff and infrastructure in some area even though we were back in the Championship and had not pared down as much as they thought we should have done to accommodate that relegation.

"Marcus has made it clear this is now my responsibility and it is up to me to build a team off the pitch to take us seamlessly back into the Premier League.

"As chief executive one of my key responsibilities is to ensure that we do operate in such a manner. We look to recruit and retain good staff and that means bringing in the best in class.

"We have a club structure that is fit for the Championship but prepared to step up to the Premiership."
