Reply | McKenna reported to be in boardroom at West Ham yesterday

Not sure whether McKenna would be too up for another relegation battle (with no transfer window to tweak the squad), when he's just got everything nicely set up and starting to come together at Ipswich, having a more than decent chance of being a Prem Manager next season anyway. |

Probably not as pertaining to an individual's contract? Confidentiality and all that. |

Yes, they do - fortunately. Tho charge extra for the privilege (of course). |

Indeed, some managers have almost made a career out of their reputation for saving teams from relegation. |

In rugby, they have accelerometers in the mouth-guards, to detect potential head injuries in real time, even if not spotted by the officials. Some similar system could be used to assess the real force of any collision. Like the snickometer in cricket. [Post edited 15 Sep 9:48]

Or if he was actually released (in terms of contract registration with the EFL), before the window closed but only announced now. Which would be rather odd.
Looking at news reports, there is some suggestion he has been struggling with overall fitness (rather than a specific injury). |

Reply | January window
at 10:00 14 Sep 2025
Having changed - and spent - a lot over the summer and assuming the team is functioning smoothly, with success, there is no absolute need to hire any new players at all in January. It could be a source of distuption (as they integrate), rather than a boost. Would also neccessitate more departures to fit the 25-man squad, unless they were both permanent signings and young enough.
That having been said, the suggestions so far are logical and sensible. |

That's the boost that even a brief stay in the Prem gives. We are now on the "plus" side of the equation. |

All very well to think about these teams which defend and spoil, but if an opponent merely sits back, their goal is going to come under heavy siege. We have players who can shoot from further out, through a crowd (how many players did Philogene beat for his 2nd goal?), plus those who can drive in and draw fouls. With a somewhat stronger midfield and RFB to help prevent opposition breakaways.
The issue in some of the early games was lacking teeth in the final third. Now we have a better-practiced bite - and some confidence - it should be easier to make an impression. |

Can't remember what they said, but on the TV he looked a good couple of feet offside, so was expecting the flag to go up. |

Philogene over Clarke. Otherwise as most were predicting (and many got it right, too). |

The only thing currently wrong with Hirst is not getting his shots on target. That's a fairly minor correction (we know he has been able to do it in the past), getting his eye in with regular practice and games.
The first one which goes in will likely help with both confidence and calmness in front of goal. |

Have they got one too? I thought it was just the military fighting the Shinawatras to keep reformers out.
At least in the UK Farage thought up an original name for ours. MUKGA is not a good acronym. |
