Two years after winning the league title , Ipswich dropped into the Second Division in 1963 – 64 , conceding 121 league goals in 42 games , still the highest number of goals conceded by Ipswich in a season . Patrick Mark Cobbold , John 's brother , joined the board of directors in 1964 and their mother , Lady Blanche Cobbold , became honorary president of the club . Milburn quit after just one full season and was replaced by Bill McGarry early in the 1964 – 65 season . The club remained in the Second Division for four years until McGarry guided Ipswich to promotion in the 1967 – 68 season , winning the division by a single point ahead of Queens Park Rangers . McGarry left to manage Wolves and was replaced by Bobby Robson in January 1969 .
