Delaney set for Ipswich after U-turn
Jun 24 2009 By Paul Warburton, London Informer
QPR have made an about turn as they agreed last night (Wednesday) to sell Damien Delaney to Ipswich.
The fee could eventually rise to £1million.
Hoops weren't originally going to play ball with the club that sacked new manager Jim Magilton in April - as well as one who could thwart their own ambitions.
But once Ipswich boss Roy Keane pressed home his case to take the man born in the same Irish city as him, Rangers agreed to take the money and run all the way to the bank.
Delaney's deal will see Hoops get £750,000 up front, with a further £250,000 should his new club make it to a final top six place during his time there.
It marks the end of a 17-month stint at Loftus Road for the 27-year-old, who has yo-yoed
between rave reviews after becoming a £1m signing from Hull in January 2008, to being dropped as left-back last season in favour of Matt Connolly.
Despite the Irish connection, Delaney barely knows Keane, even though they both hail from Cork.
Earlier, when your favourite local paper broke the news to the man capped twice by his country that Ipswich were interested, Delaney
described Keane as 'a legend' - and the man on the cusp of a switch to Portman Road had lost favour in west London.
