Ipswich chief Clegg gives embattled Keane vote of confidence

IPSWICH chief executive Simon Clegg last night insisted Roy Keane still has his backing and that of owner Marcus Evans despite his club dropping to 17th in the Championship after five successive league defeats.

Clegg, speaking at the club’s AGM last night, said he and chairman and majority owner Marcus Evans are still fully behind the former Ireland skipper.

“The owner and I are absolutely joined at the hip regarding Roy. If we weren’t supporting Roy he wouldn’t be here now.
