Clegg has praise for Keane

Keane has notched up two wins and a draw so far in the Championship season and will be hoping to push for a play off place this year.

He said: “We have always recognised Roy to be a demanding individual but flare-ups – if we call them that – occur at clubs all over the country.

“It is not something confined to Portman Road. Make no mistake, Roy is a very demanding man who is driven by success.

“He wants 110% effort from his players all the while – and that includes every day in training. If not he will make it very clear to the players their shortcomings.

“Recent events have not affected the owner’s relationship with Roy – absolutely not.

“He remains hugely supportive and there is no problem with the way the three of us work together.”
