Ipswich Town say no — this time
The offer from Fulham for Leif Davis was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Julio Enciso falls out with a teammate over standards
The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Graduation day at Ipswich Town
2 boys move up, and somewhere in the building the people who coached them at twelve are quietly having the best morning of their working year. Nothing about this shows up in a result and it is why the academy exists.

Ipswich Town rebuffed over Lukáš Horníček
Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Newcastle United have kept their man, and Ipswich Town go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Julio Enciso gets it from the manager
“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Paul Ellis steps up from the Ipswich Town academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Paul Ellis has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Words exchanged at Ipswich Town
Marcelino Núñez and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.
Player ratings17 Aug 2026
Jaden Philogene was unplayable
Successful dribbles: 16. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.
In brief
- Player ratings Nobody on the pitch touched Zian Flemming
- Transfer targets A loan move for Ben Nelson is in the works
- Match Honours even between Ipswich Town and Sheffield United
