Ipswich have played down reports from Yorkshire claiming Leeds are showing an interest in goalkeeper Shane Supple. Chief executive Derek Bowden: "We've had no enquiry from Leeds about Shane, let alone an offer."
The Republic of Ireland youth international, 19, impressed last season at Portman Road in his first year with the senior squad.
Supple came in for Lewis Price in the last campaign and became the first choice keeper.
What about this, everyone's denying it so it will probably happen.

Is that what he's just said? He's outta his mind! Basically hes reported Chelsea to the Football League, FA, Fifa etc... hes proposed possible deduction in points, stop them from registering players and loads of other bullshit....... as well as compensation... You would have thought Santa would offer an explanation to what is going on at our club and not the Chelsea business especially with things seeming screwed up at Leeds at the moment.......

Ken Bates has reported Chelsea to all the official bodies, in regards to the Woods/Taiwo transfers. This seems to be in the hope that Chelsea will be deducted points. He said that big clubs are ignoring the rules and FIFA need to apply some rules to Chelsea, when asked how much compensation for the 2 players we wanted, Harvey said Chelsea say they only sign world class players, and just because they are under 16 it does not mean they are not world class, Chelsea have offered £400,000 for the 2, Bates said this was inadequate for a club that only signs world class players. Leeds said they would be happy with 50% of what Chelsea pay fro Ashley Cole for each player, ie about £25million for the two players. The football authorities have said they will try to expedite(?) the appeal as soon as possible.
Leeds want Chelsea banned from competitions, point deductions and banning of player registrations. This was a massive press conference, with all the national press and TV channels there, Leeds United have tried to get this across to a massive audience. It has been taken this far as Chelsea had till the 5PM 28th July to respond to the charges, Chelsea did not fax a reply till 7PM by which time it was too late for the Leeds United lawyers to do anything about it.

Ken Bates seems to be making it has mission to get everything he can from Chelsea. Afterall, he got all the techinical kit for Yorkshire Radio on the cheap after buying it from Chelsea through a third party company too. Good luck to the Mr Bates, if we get the compensation we are seeking for the two numbskull players that thought it would be a good idea to go there, (and the one who had some sense and stayed) then we would be in fantastic shape.

Sky Sports seem to have been the first to report on this Press Conference in depth today:
Leeds United chairman Ken Bates is upset with his former club Chelsea and has reported the Premiership champions for allegedly making illegal approaches for two of the Yorkshire side's youngsters.
Bates is still fuming that the West Londoners managed to snare promising academy scholars Michael Woods and Tom Taiwo after the two were groomed at Elland Road.
The Leeds supremo wants his club to be properly compensated for the departures of the youngsters.
"We want to be compensated for the amount of work we have put in to developing the players and the loss of opportunity of seeing those two kids representing Leeds and helping make Leeds a great club again which would increase both the value of the club's players and their transfer value," Bates told a press conference broadcast on Sky Sports News.
"We have been deprived of this opportunity by Chelsea's actions.
"Theo Walcott was able to play first-team football as a scholar at Southampton, which gave him great experience and increased his value.
"We believe that demonstrates our position.
"Recently, Chelsea were involved in another squabble - this time at Manchester United. They had to pay £16 million for that.
"That puts the £200,000 offered to us in perspective."
Chelsea will be reported to the disciplinary committee of The Football Association, Fifa, the Premier League and the Football League.
The capital club have already issued a statement in the past relating to Woods, Taiwo and a third player, Danny Rose, who rejected a switch to Stamford Bridge.
"We've always denied that an illegal approach was made for Woods, Taiwo and Rose," read the Chelsea statement.
"We made an approach to Leeds at the end of last year, which they rejected.
"There was then a window of opportunity where the club could come in and make offers. Two of the players joined Chelsea.
"If there is an official complaint, there is a process in place which can deal with this kind of matter."
