David Sheepshanks has stepped down as Town chairman after 14 years in the roll, being replaced by Town’s majority shareholder Marcus Evans. Town's new Chairman, Marcus Evans said: "I would like to thank David for his help over the last 16 months since I became involved with the Club and for his many years dedicated service.

"He has faced many challenges as Chairman and assisted the Club to great highs and equally, never shirked responsibility when faced with tougher times. I am delighted that he has agreed to continue as a director of the Club, where he will continue to provide valuable advice to the board in relation to Club and wider football matters."

David Sheepshanks added: "The Club has now entered a new era with Marcus Evans, Simon Clegg and Roy Keane at the helm and I feel it is the right time for me to step down as Chairman of the Club board. I am pleased that Marcus will succeed me as he strives to get Ipswich Town back to the Premier League. My experience within football will be made available to the Club and the board at all times."
