Just my opinion.

We're not about to sign 25 players with PL experience (and I don't want to) but most of the current squad were playing in League One 18 months ago.

It was KMc who got them so well drilled.

Presumably you need to select a different seat?

He'd never admit it of course, but the realisation that we've got b*gger all chance of staying up next season if KMc leaves must weigh quite heavily too.

BBC saying McKenna and Pert want to move on
at 19:39 22 May 2024

100% but I don't think KMc wants or will get legendary status.

The best we can hope for is one more season, so unless he stays and wins a cup next season he won't stay long enough to be up there with Ramsey, Robson and Burley.

He will however be remembered for the remarkable job he did.

Not good.

Sounds like we could be left hanging for a while yet.

Even if Man Utd sack ETH on Sunday, they will have their own process to follow, by which time we're into June before KMc leaves and we can make an approach for a new manager.

If this story is true, what exactly does it mean?

1. I don't want to commit to ITFC beyond 2027
2. I want to keep my options open this summer
or
3. I've been offered the Brighton/Chelsea/Man Utd job so am rejecting a new deal

IPSWICH have offered Kieran McKenna a blockbuster new contract
at 15:20 22 May 2024

We are, but even if you exclude the £100M we'll get from Sky next season, KMc has increased the value of the playing squad by god knows how many millions.

He's worth every penny.

Anyone heard plans we to build from behind
at 15:01 22 May 2024

As much as I would like to see this happen as a supporter, I'm not sure the cost v benefit stacks up.

Like the OP says, it wouldn't increase capacity.

I think it's more likely that the club will offer a discount on all the RV seats in the back 6 rows.

Never been so glad to hear a reliable source say they were (hopefully) wrong!

What's the alternative though?

Kick someone else out of their seat to accommodate supporters based on length of time a season ticket has been held?

Would get very messy and I'm not sure the ticket office would want the admin involved.

He's just earnt the club a minimum £180M incl. parachute payments.

If he keeps us up next season it's worth at least another £115M.

Plus he's increased the value of the playing squad by £££s.

If anyone is worth £5M a year, KMc is.

KMc has spoken!

KMc's comments can be interpreted a number of ways, but given the hysteria i'm happy listening to this interview.

So is Kieran at something of a crossroads!
at 06:57 20 May 2024

I know there is a team behind the team etc.

But we could never have achieved PL status and the guaranteed £180M without KMc. I also don't believe we can survive the first season without him.

Obviously there wil be other considerations for KMc like transfer budget etc, but when it comes to his own contract, why wouldn't we agree to match anything another club can offer?

Saints winning tonight means we get an extra £5M next season
at 07:32 18 May 2024

Infrastructure spend doesn't count towards FFP, so I think the club will use this £5M for the playing budget.

In the same way the new pitch didn't affect the budget for players/wages last season.

I think most of us agree this is wrong, but an extra £5M is still a lot of money to us when trying to navigate FFP.

It could be the difference between us offering a 3 yr contract to a player KMc wants or not. Or being able to push the boat out for a loan signing next season (Omari!).

I know this means we become part of the greed problem, but if we can't beat them, then after 22 years of being the victim I'm happy to join them.

No, think those blocks added together is about 2,700.

Sounds like away fans will have some of C block too.
