"How far can we go with the club? How far can we take it? I don't know, I'm emotional at the minute. I'd like to get away from Portman Road this evening and have some time with my wife and kids.
"The opportunity and change is there for the football club to push on. Let's see where it goes and see what happens.
"Look at that fanbase. Look at the players we've got. This is a massive club. This club could potentially be a championship club. That's the frustrating part."

He added: "I haven't achieved it. The players have achieved it and the credit goes to the players and the fans for their support.
"I only oversee things, put a few cones down in the week and give them a couple of instructions and encourage them. It's down to the players."
Since replacing Darrell Clarke, who departed the club 12 months ago, Coughlan has won a total of 25 games out of 56 and hasn't spent a penny over two transfer windows.
