David Sheepshanks

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

David Sheepshanks is best known for being the chairman of Ipswich Town football club in the Football League Championship in England. He was elected to the Ipswich Town board in 1987 and was appointed chairman in 1995. Other business interests include Suffolk Foods Ltd where he is the founder and majority shareholder.

During his time at Ipswich he oversaw promotion to the Premiership through the play off in 2000, two seasons in the UEFA Cup and a period of administration following relegation between February and May 2003.

In 1997 he was appointed chairman of the Football League for two years where he helped with the re-structuring of the league. He has since been involved with other boards with the FA, UEFA and more recently FIFA.

Sheepshanks is the founder Chairman of the ITFC Education and Sports Trust, a founder trustee of the Community Foundation for Suffolk, Patron of the Ipswich and East Suffolk branch of the Samaritans and President of the Ipswich Citizens Advice Bureau and was awarded an Honorary Doctorate of Civil Law by the Suffolk College.

Some fans of Ipswich Town FC have been calling for David Sheepshanks to resign as Chairman of the Suffolk based football club in recent times, following a rough spell including relegation to the English Championship. This was followed by the club entering a CVA (from which they successfully exited in 2006).
