EDIT: Well this is apparently refusing to load so I guess I'll write it up. It's a tweet from Ricky Sacks saying that Scott Parker was one of 11 men interviewed by Ipswich about becoming their new manager.
Very interesting.

If Scotty does get the job and decides to take it maybe we could use Ipswich as a loaning club. Send out youngsters in need of first team football and someone like say JanssenVery interesting.

We've already got decent links with Ipswich - Bran Klugg (Ipswich Academy Manager) had to leave Ipswich where he had been for a decade or so when Roy Keane became Ipswich Manager and spent about 3 years working for John McDermott in Spurs academy before returning to Ipswich when Keane was fired (circa 2012). Klugg is once again Interim Manager after Mick McCarthy resigned.
I think that the Ipswich academy match is a result of Klugg working at Spurs for a few years - Ipswich opponents for their academy matches used to be ManU before that
Not sure Scott should take the Ipswich job after just a season of being a Spurs u18 coach, its just such a big step up, but with Gerrard getting the Rangers job after a season as Liverpool u18 coach, he might not see it that way
I would be surprised if he were to take the big step up but as you say with Gerrard it's not beyond him. Another link if at all was when Ipswich allowed us to use England u16 starlet Ben Knight for our u15's tournament in San Diego last season. And also back in 2016 they allowed the now Zimbabwean international Kundai Benyu to trial with us during the next gen cup in Holland.

Beat Sturrgart 3-0 (Sam Shashoua 2, Roles) in 3rd game.
4th match later today is against the strongest of the group, Werder Bremen
I don't keep tabs on youth like some, but Fulham seem to have a very good set up. I remember now being at Dagenham and Redbridge a few years ago, one of the few times I've been to a youth game. Fulham beat us comfortably. Hopefully they take some decent lads away from Chavski clutches.Spurs beat Werder Bremen 1-0 with a goal by Sam Sashoua to top the Group with 10 points (Werder Bremen 2nd with 7 pts).
We play Red Bull Brazil (who beat Glasgow Rangers 1-0 today to take 2nd place in the other group, Rangers 3rd and Fulham in top spot with 7 points) tomorrow at 11.30 (local time) in the first semi final.

Some interesting stuff from Craig Bellamy on the academy system on last night's Debate...here's a link to the podcast, it's from about 30 minutes in. Warning: it involves Merson and Wenger too...

Fulham have had a very decent youth set up for a few years - I think they have an ex Head of Southampton Academy in charge and a couple of his colleagues at its core. They've done well recruiting too with Moussa Dambele (striker now at Celtic ex PSG) as well as Ryan Sessegnon and generally have very competitive youth sides, despite not paying at the same rate as Chelsea.
