Ipswich chief Clegg denies transfer rift with Keane

IPSWICH TOWN chief executive Simon Clegg has dismissed suggestions of tensions between himself and Roy Keane and says he shares his manager’s frustrations regarding the slow progress of some transfers into Portman Road this summer.

Wigan frontman Jason Scotland finally completed a £750,000 (€918,000) move to Ipswich yesterday. Scotland’s move was delayed last week because Latics boss Roberto Martinez wanted the 31-year-old Trinidadian for Saturday’s game against Chelsea, something which added to Keane’s frustrations prior to the Tractor Boys’ weekend win at Crystal Palace.

“We’ve had deals agreed for one or two weeks,’’ Keane said.
