Clegg: Keane Under No Further Pressure
Chief executive Simon Clegg says Town boss Roy Keane is not under any greater pressure in the wake of Saturday’s home defeat to Barnsley and the crowd’s reaction to the performance.
Clegg, speaking in an interview with Radio Suffolk, said: "The manager is not under any further pressure from me or the owner at this moment in time.
"We are committed to Roy, Roy is leading this football club, he is taking us to where we want to get to. We're three points away from being fourth place in the Championship.
"And we're the only non-Premier League side through to the quarter-finals of the League Cup. If you had offered us that back in August people would have bitten your hand off."
Meanwhile, Keane has criticised last week’s booing and the cheering of Barnsley passes: "We can’t kid ourselves that if we’re not performing we’re going to get criticised, but there’s got to be a balance to that of what’s right and what’s wrong, and what happened last week was wrong.”
Further comment from Keane on Barnsley and fans’ reaction to that game tomorrow.
