Another rookie manager, and from Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's failed coaching team at that.
I guess we'll be looking for another guy in six months time then.

We could appoint Pep, sign Messi and still half of you would moan,
He's not even been in the job 24 hours and you're already doubting him... Jesus christ |  | | |

Ok I’ll bite.
Who else was a rookie manager?
He is a first team coach from Man Utd. What did you expect? Klopp, Pep, Mourinho?
We are mid table in Div 3 chap |  | | |

Might be his first "manager" position but he was held in high regard by Jose and promoted to first team coach by him something which I'm sure doesn't just happen especially at a club the size of Man United. He then stayed on as part of OGS coaching staff and also Rangnicks, it's been said he is a student of the game and will study every opposition team to find any weaknesses and exploit them. Not that he needs it but one other person who speaks highly of him is Jim Magilton, so if Magic thinks he is a good coach/manager then thats enough for me. | | | |

"Another" ? Simply nonsense
Paul cook - around 500 games in management before us
Paul Lambert - around 500 games in management before us
Paul Hurst - Over 500 games in management before us, working miracles with Shrews and Grimsby
Mick - Over 650 games in management before us
Jewell - around 500 games in management before us
Keane - 100 games in management before us, getting Sunderland in the prem and ex man utd captain
Oh and to counter your general point - All of those managers worked so well for us.... The most successful being Mick who got us in the playoffs ONCE in his time. |  | | |

I don't know how you can be underwhelmed by a manager that has come in for so much praise from elite level managers like Mourinho and Ragnick - Ragnick specifically expressed his desire for McKenna to stay at Man Utd.
He has worked at the one the biggest clubs in the world, with some of the best managers in the game, with some of the best players in the game, in the best competitions in the world, every single day at that high level - and you feel underwhelmed that we have attracted him to an average mid table L1 side.
I'm sorry but you're deluded if you feel underwhelmed by this.
That isn't to say there isn't questions that need to be answered, of course there will, it is his first job in management, but it is far from underwhelming. [Post edited 17 Dec 2021 12:17]

Our best 3 managers had very little management experience when they came in. By contrast more recently we've tended to favour highly experienced managers who have turned out to be crap. I think you might need to have a rethink, friend. |  |

Everyone entitled to their views
I'm concerned in Robsons and Ramseys day you was given time, Burley was one of our own so giving a longer bit of string
If in the next 25 to 40 games we don't improve it will turn toxic | | | |

The three best managers we've ever had were rookies.
....in the last 20 years, we have primarily recruited managers with track records.... who havent worked out. |  |

Was Mark Ashton in charge of Watford in 2008 when they appointed a "rookie" coach as their manager - Brendan Rodgers?
If he was or wasn't I guess this is what he is going for with a similar appointment - 35 year old Northern Irish coach with experience at a big club... |  |
