\u201cAfter feeling unwell earlier this year, I have recently received a diagnosis and I am taking positive action to fight the disease. It has been a difficult time, but I am feeling much brighter now. In fact, I am able to get to matches at Portman Road and I am enjoying watching the team playing back in the Premier League,\u201d said George to Ipswich\u2019s media team.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The man who was involved in more matches \u2013 500 as a player and 413 as manager \u2013 than anybody else in the club\u2019s history, continued: \u201cWe are grateful to the Club for the support they have shown me and my family and I would ask that everyone is respectful of our privacy at this time.\"<\/p>\r\n\r\n
George was the last Ipswich manager who rode his team to promotion to the Premier League in 2002 before current manager Kieran McKenna repeated the feat in 2024.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cThis club has had some brilliant managers and George is right up there as one of the very best. It has been a pleasure to get to know George since I arrived at Ipswich. He is a positive and optimistic character, and I know he will also take that attitude into the battle he now faces. We are all right behind him,\u201d said head coach McKenna.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
