Town boss Kieran McKenna was pictured with England manager Gareth Southgate at this evening’s 3-3 draw between Aston Villa and Liverpool at Villa Park.

McKenna, who was presumably getting in some early scouting ahead of next season’s Premier League campaign, and Southgate were spotted sitting behind Hollywood actor Tom Hanks.

graham2408 added 07:20 - May 14 Maybe discussing eventually taking over from Gareth. Why not? We, (ITFC), have an excellent track record of producing England managers.

Help added 07:35 - May 14 Southgate to Kieran "So your the best manager in the UK, who do you think I should take to the Euro's?. What tactics should I use?. I am thinking of giving it up, what's the chances of you taking over from me and becoming an Ipswich hattrick of managers for England.

Len_Brennan added 08:52 - May 14 It's a whole month before the transfer window actually opens, but no doubt McKenna & Ashton are already somewhat down the road on deals that can't go through until then.

wischip added 09:08 - May 14 I wonder if Tom Hanks turned to Kieran and asked "What's all this I hear about Chappers running across the pitch like Forrest Gump ?"

cleggo added 11:24 - May 14 "so that's how you make an impactful substitution, Gareth. You can actually play those players that you have on the bench."

cleggo added 11:27 - May 14 USA - the bald fella is Monchi. Former Sporting Director at Sevilla (I think also Roma) and presumably, judging by the colour of the tie he's sporting, now Aston Villa.

JewellintheTown added 11:55 - May 14 Tom Hanks apparently took a shine to Villa & became a fan because he liked their name. Surprised he didn't go for Nottingham instead then. Can you image him in the stands with the fans shouting "Run Forest, Run"?
