JUST IN: Ipswich Town face QPR as Town prepare for double swoop deal

Two players could be on their way out, whilst the new investors’ stance on McKenna and Ashton is revealed.

With the new investors able to inject more capital into the club, this could be a real game-changer for Ipswich, who are certainly on the rise.

CEO Ashton certainly knows what the next steps are for the club, with training ground investment and a category one academy in his sights.

He told Town TV (via TWTD): “It [the funding] gives us the stability to take the plan forward. We’ve talked before to supporters about the importance of infrastructure and the first key infrastructure project will be the training ground.

“That will be a multi-million pound investment. We’ve already got the pitches in place, we have a fairly detailed design in place now, we’ll be entering the planning process very shortly and I’d like to be on site this year, putting that training ground plan into place and seeing the buildings coming to fruition.


The Ipswich Town goalkeeper made a confident claim they may bave to achieve in recent days.

“That allows us to put new facilities in for the first team, also put better facilities in for our women and ultimately, something that we’ve talked about time and time again is the importance of our academy.

“This new investment, we’ve discussed internally, and part of this investment will be used to take the academy from category two to category one.

“I know it’s something we’ve talked about and I’ve always said, if and when the time is right, we would do that. We’re now committing to that and we will put a timeline in place to move to category one academy status.”

QPR cast eye over Ipswich Town duo

QPR manager Marti Cifuentes

Ipswich duo Nick Nkansa-Dwamena and Henry Curtis appeared for Queens Park Rangers’ development squad in a game against Sheffield Wednesday last week, according to West London Sport.

18-year-old right-back Nkansa-Dwamena and 20-year-old Curtis are both expected to be released on the expiration of their contracts at Portman Road at the end of the season.

With this, the R’s have taken the opportunity to see them in action, but it remains to be seen whether either of them will be snapped up by Marti Cifuentes’ side.
