That's interesting - I didn't even know Royle had gone :shock:
I think that makes it all the more likely then.
It's just the fact that Sam has not exactly set the world alight at Portman Road as I am sure he would admit himself. Breaking his foot was also a big set back. Also, expectations from Ipswich fans of both him and Forster would have been sky high as they were attempting to replace Bent and Kuqi - very tough acts to follow.
I also think he could be just the sort of player Parkinson would be looking for. Yes, he will cost them a bit of money but not loads, and they do have a bit of money to spend I would have thought. Sam I think, would also be happier at a smallish club like Col U than a biggish club like Ipswich.
The fact that he is only just down the road from Colchester would only help things along.
Pure speculation on my part, albeit 'informed' speculation. It could be(and probably is) total bollocks but at least it's killed a bit of time and brought us all just a little bit closer to going home/going down the pub time
