We took a real risk with Mckenna 19:19 - Jan 22 with 14481 viewsonceablue

Real nice guy but he was bought here to get us

Accept he has bought back the feel good factor and the crowds

No proven experience and I think it is starting to show

Should have gone for Paul Warne look what he is doing at Derby

We have made some misguided managerial choices since McCarthty

People know what they are seeing with their own eyes. The football we are playing is far ahead of what we have played for years.

Once again, you’ve never played any real level have football have you and when you watch it you don’t really understand it, do you. That is summed up in claiming people only rate mckenna because he “ came from utd “. 😂


Rate KM that's fine

But claiming he's better than all other town managers since Sir Bobby has to be based on something. Not just a start in league 1 at town. His last job was at utd. Hence the inclusion.

The football is great. Better than under Burley? Joe? Even some of the football under Mick in 2015 was excellent. Plus he didn't have the millions spent to compete like KM has had here.

I think KM will go onto have a great career. He's just nowhere near achieved anything to be classed as better than any of the above named managers.

If you were that into football and understand it as well you are making out then surely you'd agree it's far far to early to make such a statement.

I liked Mick and despite knowing it was right for him to go when he did, was still sad to see it end so bitterly for so many, himself included.

HOWEVER, to suggest the actual viewing under him was better than McKenna is nonsensical. The style of football is poles apart. Results might have been good under Mick, the intensity in our defending and direct attacking play was even enjoyable for what it was. But the football itself was nowhere near the level of being as aesthetically pleasing as it is now.

Well that's his last job. So to say hes the messiah and best ipswich manager since Robson has to be based on his previous job as he's not done anything here yet.


Imagine sh1tting yourself in public once and, rather than trying to live it down for the rest of your life, actually building your personality about it.

Lol.

Oh OK.

KM is the bestest manager the club has had since sir Bobby. Case closed.


Do you ever stop to think to yourself 'perhaps I should have just quietly forgot about that whole 'smarmy' thing rather than tried to build my entire personality over it'?

I mean, fair play to you for your stamina in persisting with something so patently sh1twitted. You're the football equivalent of Blueas desperately trying to pretend that Brexit is a good idea rather than actually coming up something genuinely insightful.

Where do they all go when we win? It just seems so strange to me to catstrophise our draws and defeats (all four of them) but not celebrate our triumphs with anywhere near the same level of zeal. Selective passion.

There was a post criticising KM on the day thatcher was appointed- can’t remember who posted it but pretty sure that that post had a very high number of minus votes.

I read that several times before realising thatcher was neither Maggie nor Ben but in fact "that he"!

Still here darling

Really hope KM gets us up

Because if he doesn’t it will be a failure given the size of our squad and the position we were in December

But let’s enjoy victory today - top performance

Since the OP in the league we have played 9, won 6 and drawn 3. We have taken 21 points, scored 21 goals, conceding 3.

There were people itching to see McKenna out after the Oxford loss on 21/1. If they’d had their way, tried and trusted would have been wheeled in with all the excitement and optimism a new manager brings.

Seriously, would an old retread like Warnock or Mick have done any better? I mean, they’ve certainly lit a fire under their clubs… not.

There are no guarantees in sport and our hopes for this season are finely balanced. I’ve seen comments such as not wanting someone here learning their trade etc. But sometimes you have to put faith in the long term over the short and I like to think that’s what we are doing.

Ridiculous view of Derby under Paul Warne. He has been immense for them. To say Derby are behind us in the league is true, however their form over the last 18 games is unbelievable. They will be promoted I am sure. Warne is proven in this league.

Also whilst Manchester United had KMcK as first team coach, they dominated games but couldn’t win games. A very similar story here. KMcK needs to learn to win. He’s not there yet sadly.


Their form has tailed off a fair bit once they hit a run of games against sides with a pulse. 8 point gap to Town now, 10 point gap to the top 2.

Fair play for sticking your head up, more than can be said for a few of your bedfellows. I actually defended you on a thread calling for you to be banned - you're entitled to post drivel, everyone on here does it.

On something you mentioned in your most recent post - yes, I do think some older fans are a bit entitled, when you consider the absolute dross that most under 30 have had to put up with for the main.
