Ipswich agree to sell £44m stake


Sheepshanks is to continue as Ipswich chairman

Ipswich Town's board has agreed to sell a majority stake in the club to private businessman Marcus Evans.

The proposed investment will see Evans purchase the Championship club's approximate £32m debt.

He will invest a further £12m through the issue of new shares to become the majority owner and shareholder.

Chairman David Sheepshanks, who will remain in his post, said: "Marcus Evans' investment is potentially great news for Ipswich Town."
