It would be good if sooner rather than later the club would come out and confirm he's staying for next season. I don't think it will help our pre-season preparations if there is uncertainty around who will be the manager. I think it won't help either the current playing squad or any potential signings might be put off if they're not sure who our manager will be.
Next season is going to be a huge challenge and we need solid foundations to make the best of it. I appreciate that the club perhaps haven't had firm approaches for him so don't feel the need to comment but something to quell the rumours would be good. For the fans if nothing else.

Hearing similar from a number of directions. |

....which is relatively likely according to most recent seasons.
What is his stock worth then?
Look at Kompany.
I think we have to be a bit more realistic than many ITFC fans currently are. |
I don’t want to be realistic 
I want McKenna to stay here for years and for us to get our third consecutive 2nd place finish next season. |  |

Oh FFS, not you as well. I thought you were supposed to be ‘elite’. Ashton covered this in his last interview - there’ll be loads of rumours - ignore them. |  |

I don't think Ashton will have much say in it at the end of the day. I hope they are just rumours but phil seems pretty sure Brighton at least are after him. | |

Yeah, I suspect he won’t be able to stop KM if he’s determined to leave. It was more his comments about not worrying about every single rumour that I thought were helpful. We’ll drive ourself nuts if we fret over it. | |

Ashton can pretend otherwise as much as he likes - just because someone other than the official club channels says something doesn't mean they're wrong or spreading a rumour. |  |

Nothing’s happened yet. He’s definitely going at some point as he’s probably the hottest young manager in England. But for now he’s still here. | |

IF this happens I wish him all the best. Ashton plucked him for his first managerial gig and I expect Ashton has planned for the inevitable with another replacement.
The bigger issue for me is how many of the wider team would follow. We've talked about this over the ages, does Pert follow as part of the team? If McK goes I wish him all the best but hope we smash Brighton. |  | | |

Town appointed Mick on the recommendation of Paul Jewell! |
And ignored Sir Bobby's recommendation of Alex Fergusson. |  |

To Brighton? Really? Very disappointing if so. |  |

Pfffft. Nah, if he goes, feck him. It'll just prove there's no loyalty in the game anymore. What's the sodding point.
He and the players have worked their asses off for 24 months for this specific goal. And now he's abandoning ship before even finishing the job.
If this genuinely goes through, for me he'll be considered a top manager in our history but he'll have lost out on the chance to be considered a true legend. And for what? A team that's probably already reached the ceiling of its potential? Do me a fecking favour, Kieran.
Rant over. | | | |

Brighton ffs
That would be very dissapointing. After reaching the EPL I would have expected him to give us another year at least unless a big job came in. But Brighton ffs. |  | | |

There never was loyalty in football since the EPL. I agree with you, but money talks and as I said hope we smash Brighton if this plays out.
Playing devil's advocate, if Kieran does depart and Potter replaces him.....could be interesting.... | | | |

It goes wider than that. Any new manager that comes in, especially the likes of Potter will probably recognise this as an over achieving squad and look to make widespread changes. |  |
