LONDON — Last April Ipswich Town sacked manager Jim Magilton and brought in Roy Keane for the last two games of the season. Ipswich's new owner Marcus Evans, who likes publicity as much as Superman enjoys kryptonite, wanted a big name. Instead, Ipswich is in a big mess.
Six months after Keane's arrival and having ended 2008-09 in ninth place, Ipswich is bottom of the table, the last senior professional team in England not to have won a league game this season after 14 attempts.
Meanwhile, under Magilton, Queens Park Rangers are sixth and scoring goals for fun.
