Town legend Sir Bobby Robson has backed current Town manager Jim Magilton to be a success at Town and he has some advice for the relative rookie manager.
Sir Bobby: "Now is the time to show passion and fervour, and to face the future.
"The last six games are not the time to be cautious.
"Make teams nervous of you, and not the other way round. Don't be afraid.
"It would be a privilege to be present when Ipswich made the play-offs, Ipswich under Jim Magilton are capable of doing it, although automatic promotion looks a long shot now.
"He is making good progress and I hope his future will be with Ipswich Town.
"Like all managers he needs time to get accustomed and he is doing a first rate job.
"Clubs change managers far too quickly, and you lose four games on the trot and face the sack.
"I was thrown out at Fulham when we were eighth in the old Second Division.
"Patient is a virtue in football management, and how good was I in my second year at Portman Road?
"Some fans were calling for my head - and I stayed for 14 years.
"Football has always been about winning, but now it is a necessity - now it is big business."
