Chief executive Simon Clegg says Roy Keane must win promotion with Ipswich before the end of his contract in two years time, according to the EADT.
The former British Olympic Association chief executive admits it won’t be easy. He told the EADT: ‘I know from experience that there is no such thing as an easy Olympic gold medal and similarly there is no easy passage into the Premier League.
‘We know it will not be easy with Ipswich Town having no God given right to reach the Premiership.
‘Of course we aspire to reach the next level of English football at the earliest opportunity, but it would be wrong to commit any particular time frame.
‘As I have said before we are building blocks to establish a firm foundation so that when promotion does come we will not find ourselves in yo-yo situation.
‘Progress can still be made in 2009/10 if we stay in the Championship.’
