Ipswich Town: Mark Ashton and Kieran McKenna on 2025 transfer window

There is a lot for Ipswich Town fans to get their heads around right now.

After being relegated from the Premier League, the transfer market was much busy than anticipated. Eleven new players, including a surprise Canaries acquisition and Championship record fee late last week, ultimately cost almost to £50 million. There are currently very few members of the adored double promotion-winning team left after a major exodus of players and personnel. In the midst of all of that, the Blues, who began the season as the favourites to be promoted, have lost four straight games in the Championship and have been eliminated by Bromley from the Carabao Cup.

In an interview with former Blues captain Matt Holland, Town chairman Mark Ashton and manager Kieran McKenna have swiftly addressed a number of trending subjects during the present emotional upheaval. TownTV and the club’s YouTube account will stream the 37-minute conversation starting at 7 p.m. tonight. I’ve seen a sneak peek, and it’s definitely worth seeing. In it, the two talk about:

A difficult summer of transition at Portman Road; How the team attempted to convince Liam Delap to stay; The reasoning behind Luke Woolfenden’s and Conor Chaplin’s approval to join Coventry and Portsmouth, respectively, as well as a “emotional” transfer deadline day; The construction of the new training facility and the club’s start of international hiring;

Resolving the leadership gap that resulted from Sam Morsy’s departure; Pressure to promote, enthusiasm for the new hires, and Ashton’s conviction that McKenna is the best person to assemble a new team. Those who are currently feeling a little jittery about things will feel more assured about the club’s overall direction of travel after this candid and open discussion.
