Simon Clegg, the chief executive of Ipswich Town, dismisses reports suggesting Harry Redknapp is set to replace Paul Jewell as manager at Portman Road.

Ipswich Town chief executive Simon Clegg has claimed that speculation linking Harry Redknapp with Ipswich Town is "laughable", revealing that the club have made no contact with the former Tottenham Hotspur manager.

A number of bookmakers suspended betting this weekend on Redknapp taking over at Portman Road but Clegg has backed current manager Paul Jewell to improve the team's form.

"I can absolutely assure you that there have been no conversations with any other managers," he told Ipswich Player. "The stuff about Harry is laughable really.

"People put two and two together and made about 27. Harry went out [to the Sir Bobby Robson Classic golf tournament in Portugal in the summer] as part of the Ipswich Town team. He's done that in previous years.

"I continue to have every confidence in Paul and his ability to turn things around, and I hope that he will do."

Ipswich are currently 23rd in the Championship.
