McKenna and the people he is bringing are really, really top-notch coaches, don't worry about that, really well rated at the top of the game. The level is really high, a real step up on anything I can remember. Question in the long term will be how they are served by other departments of the club, particularly recruitment-wise I'd say. Very high ceiling to this if it goes well but it's a very new world now and the risks are inescapable. [Post edited 16 Dec 2021 17:56]

If he can't properly fold and hang up the team's shirts he'll be a poor replacement for Craners. [Post edited 16 Dec 2021 18:05]

If he hasn’t won the league after 19 games then he’s got to go. |  |

What if he's marooned us mid table in the third division after 44 though? | |

I was hoping for Barry, because of the continuity with the investment made. When a Wigan fan sang his praises in the pub I was really hoping. However, this is the approach I wanted and I can’t help but feel it’s exactly what we need.
I guess at face value it feels like when we appointed Jim, but beyond age and the coincidence they know each other it couldn’t be further from that. It’s totally alien to us ITFC lot. |  |

You’re ok if he brings coaches with no experience then? So long as it’s not Franny and Co? | |

What if Pert were to want his old Norwich youth team mate Craig Bellamy to join the set-up! | |

That would work as Bellamy and KD are good friends? |  |

Hell of a difference between coaching and managing though. Not suggesting he can’t make the transition, I really hope he can of course and wish him well. Traditional management is as much about effectively leading and motivating people as it is technical football expertise. He’s definitely more of a head coach, rather than a traditional manager, which is clearly a route we’re keen to go down.
Fascinating to see how it plays out. |  |

Do you know any other coaches he’s bringing? Presume one will be a GK coach? |  |

I remember a couple other luminaries of the Man U backroom being v highly regarded in the past.
Steve Mclaren
Mike Phelan
Both apparently top, top coaches.
Let's home McKenna, if it is he to who is to be anointed is not in the same mould.
If this doesn't work then next time we go foreign 100% |  |

Some idiots will keep picking on Nsiala though tomorrow and beyond. As if he was a main culprit. |  | | |

McLaren had a 38.8 win percentage in his first managerial role and won the League Cup with Middlesbrough - that wouldn’t be the worst outcome for us with McKenna if he’s here for the same number of games (250). | |
