(until 5 December 1994) Paul Goddard (caretaker) (5–28 December 1994) George Burley (from 28 December 1994) (vs Tottenham Hotspur, 30 Aug 1994, Premier League) (vs Bolton Wanderers, 21 Sep 1994, League Cup) During the 1994–95 English football season, Ipswich Town competed in the FA Premier League.

Season summary

Ipswich Town conceded 93 Premier League goals, kept just 3 clean sheets and recorded just 7 wins all season as one of the worst seasons in their history saw them return to the second tier of the league after three seasons in the top flight.

Manager John Lyall reverted to manager after being Director of Football for the previous season and during the summer, Steve Sedgley became the club's first £1 million signing. However, Ipswich experienced their worst start to a season for 31 years, losing 11 of their first 15 games. On a brighter note though, another highlight included a surprise 1–0 win at Anfield against eventual-4th-placed Liverpool in mid-January, their first win at Anfield in 34 attempts.

In the cups, Ipswich failed to progress in both, losing to First Division Bolton in the Coca Cola Cup and to Second Division Wrexham in the FA Cup.

With an ageing squad, Burley was given little option but to resort to his young reserves in hope of rebuilding his side ready to push for a Premier League comeback.

Former chairman Patrick Cobbold died in December.
