Ipswich will clarify the future of manager and former Wolves boss Mick McCarthy before the end of next month, the club announced.

Reports have suggested the 59-year-old’s six-year spell in charge at Portman Road could end this summer when his contract expires.

McCarthy took over a Town side which was bottom of the Championship in 2012 and led them to the play-offs two seasons later. They are currently 10 points off the play-off places.

But the Ipswich fans have become increasingly frustrated in recent campaigns and, with the club currently 10 points off the top six in 12th place with eight matches remaining, speculation about McCarthy’s future has increased.

The club have said McCarthy’s position will be resolved before the early-bird season-ticket deadline on April 30.

Ipswich owner Marcus Evans said: “We will sit down and discuss the best way forward for this football club in the next few weeks. And that is the sole concern for me – what is best for Ipswich Town.”
