VOTE: Is Gary O'Neil the right man for Ipswich?
'An honour' - O'Neil's first words as Ipswich boss

Villa tell Rogers suitors he's not for sale
Latest from Your Site News' Rob Dorsett and Lyall Thomas:
Aston Villa are believed to have made it clear to interested clubs that they do not want to sell Morgan Rogers this summer, Your Site News understands.
Arsenal lead several clubs including Chelsea, Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain with serious interest in the forward.
However, Villa would not welcome any bids and, as a result, have not put a clear price on the England stars value.
That being the case, the fact that other top Premier League players are being valued as high as 120m+ will point towards the kind of offer it might take to test that Villa resolve.
Another Arsenal forward target Julian Alvarez is considered widely to be worth even more, especially as he has a 430m (500m) release clause.
To date, there has been no formal approach from any club for Rogers this summer and that is almost certain due to the awareness of Villas position. Some sources are anticipating an approach from Arsenal, however.
Villa are expected to have to sell at least one player in order to execute their own transfer plans, after once again qualifying for the Champions League.
However, contrary to reports, there is no June 30 deadline for Villa to have to meet Premier League and/or UEFA financial rules.
