Praise For Joe From Sheepy
Ipswich Town Chairman David Sheepshanks is full of praise for Town manager Joe Royle upon reaching 1000 games as a manager.
Royle reaches the landmark occasion tonight when his Ipswich side face Reading at Portman Road and Mr Sheepshanks is pleased for him.
Sheepshanks: “The esteem in which Joe Royle has held among his piers says
everything, he is much admired by his fellow managers the length and breadth of
the country not to mention many others in the game, he is a man of great
stature, an enthusiast and engaging personality who has the rare ability of
commanding both the respect and affection of his players.
“Joe joined us
on a mission to return us to the Premiership. Despite the changing economic face
of football and the type of conditions in which we and most clubs outside the
Premier League have to operate these days, he is now fashioning a team that is
increasingly giving cause for optimism.
“I am delighted for Joe to have
reached this landmark and while he deserves all of the accolades he is getting I
know he remains focused on the job at hand.”.
