Tractor Boys relegated after Newcastle defeat as emotional club thanks loyal fans
Ipswich Town’s fairytale return to the Premier League has come to a heartbreaking end after a 3-0 defeat to Newcastle United sealed their relegation on Saturday.
The loss—their 21st of a tough campaign—leaves them stuck in 18th place, a crushing 15 points from safety with only four games left. After back-to-back promotions under manager Kieran McKenna, the Tractor Boys’ stay in the top flight lasted just one season, joining Leicester and Southampton in dropping back to the Championship.
In a heartfelt message on X (formerly Twitter), the club acknowledged the pain of relegation but praised their supporters for standing by them all season:
“Following back-to-back promotions to the top tier of English football, today’s result confirms our relegation from the Premier League. We’ve fought all season with you always behind us, Town fans.”
Despite the disappointment, Ipswich’s remarkable rise under McKenna offers hope for the future. Now, the focus shifts to regrouping in the Championship and dreaming of another shot at the big time.
