Ipswich Town FC
Back in the Championship after a brief Premier League return, Ipswich Town's story of consecutive promotions from League One to the top flight — and the painful relegation that followed — is the latest dramatic chapter for a club whose history includes an FA Cup, a UEFA Cup, and the legendary management of Sir Alf Ramsey and Sir Bobby Robson.
Current Leadership
Owners
Gamechanger 20 Ltd, an American-led investment group headed by Brett Johnson and Mark Detmer, acquired Ipswich Town in 2021. Their investment funded the appointment of Kieran McKenna and the back-to-back promotions that returned Ipswich to the Premier League in 2024. The group has brought modern analytics and financial resources to a club that had suffered from years of underinvestment.

Historical Figures
Owner & Chairman
British businessman Marcus Evans purchased Ipswich Town in 2007 and provided financial stability during a period when the club remained in the Championship. His ownership was criticised for a lack of ambition, and the club was relegated to League One under his watch in 2019. He sold to Gamechanger 20 Ltd in 2021.
