I think we're safe with Mckenna until the end of the season. If he gets us up, it's a payday and he becomes a club legend for saving us from the dross that came before.
It's logical for him to stay put at the moment. |  | | |

My first thought was McKenna 😂
Thankfully it sounds like they have out of touch owners who don't know what they are doing.
I'd anticipate they go for a "name" rather than the right choice. |  |

The annoying Steve Bruce has managed 12 clubs in his management career. I’m amazed how he’s kept getting jobs given how mediocre he’s been. Big name, I suppose.
I’d be very surprised if KM took that job on. What’s to be gained upping sticks and going there? |  | | |

This.
Albion have been operating the manager merry-go-round for the longest time. The previous names speak for themselves. Pulis, Pearson, Pardew, Allardyce, Bruce etc.
They won't think outside the box, much like Evans when he was here. [Post edited 10 Oct 2022 10:11]

I reckon they'll try and go 'young and hungry', put too much pressure on for instant results and then end up with a vacancy within a year | |

Strangely this is the one that has been the only vacancy concerning me and its been pretty inevitable, Bruce is outdated in terms of style and no longer gets results. WBA are wiilling to take a chance on a manager as they did with the guy from Barnsley. I imagine they still have a decent amount of money to spend as well. But it is like completely starting again. |  | | |

Last year of Parachutes, sack managers quickly, high expectations, would be a bad move for McK and he'll be aware of that because Ashton, O'Leary etc still have lots of contacts there | |

I think they're skint. I've no worries about them. And even if they had the money, why on earth would McKenna go there after what's happening here?
I think we're ok at least until next summer, depending on if we get promotion etc. |  | | |

Even if they were interested, I'm not sure it's that appealing a job given what's going on here at the moment. There's only 3 clubs between us in the pyramid as it stands anyway. |  |

Can't ever seeing him going to a club struggling in the Championship, as things stand. Especially a smaller club than us. | | | |

His young family have moved into local schools and he’s bought in a lovely part of Town
He’s being well backed, and given how Ashton has become fairly anonymous he is being left to run the footballing side completely
Critically though the Ipswich project allows him to continue to hone his skills and gain experience to grow as a manager
Can he promote a club from League One? Can he the. Develop and grow that team to challenge in the competitive Championship, can he then make a huge step and get that club promoted
With very little pressure of interference
Add into that the Robson/Ramsey history… the passion for the club locally, the ridiculous crowds, the excitement and connection with fans
He’ll be here until at least we’ve had a high finish in the championship, if not beyond
Graham Potter is 47 and had had 50+ championship games managing Swansea and 135 premier league games for Brighton before the big move to Chelsea
We are a bigger club historically and fan base wise than Brighton
My sense is McKenna will leave for a top club, once he’s proven himself at championship level over a few seasons, or once town are in the premier league
I hope I’m right | |

If they have any sense they’ll get Mick in until the end of the season. It won’t be pretty but he’ll stabilise them and then they can start again in the summer. |  | | |

Maybe this will give him time to work on a fourth and final installment of his murder mystery series. Fingers crossed. | |

Not a chance he'd go there. Can't see him going anywhere in the Championship actually. | | | |

Agree with all of that. Would be incredibly short sighted to cash his chips after 10 months for a struggling Championship club. This Ipswich job can be an incredible 'CV stamp' for him if he gets us up and gets us competitive in the league above. There's no reason why we can't be above WBA this time next year.
I think KM's upward move from Town will be to the Premier League, and good luck to him when that time comes. | |

Looking at one of their forums, the betting contains the list of usual suspects, including McCarthy and Keane. One person wants Scott Parker crossed off the list because of ‘that stupid ffing cardigan’. It’s a good point.
McCarthy at 63. Would it work? The game has moved on since he came here and his last job at Cardiff ended spectacularly badly. | | | |

Because they kept him on for longer than what his honeymoon time runs for. In now, out at the end of the season.
He is excellent at keeping teams up. | | | |

An ex. Wolves manager going to West Brom would be interesting. I dare say he would keep them up, so if it's a quick fix they're after they could do worse. Having said that I think they'll stay up anyway, so probably want to be looking beyond the end of their noses and appointing someone with next season in mind. | |
