True but being good at Celtic twice didn't get Neil Lennon anywhere. Or Gordon Strachan. It's hardly a consistently well trodden path to a big club. Saying that I am sure he'd be tempted if he was offered it. [Post edited 7 Jun 2023 9:45]

All true. But the same argument works much much worse for Ipswich managers since Robson.
Celtic is a fast-track in comparison and it’s about showing you can handle the pressure. Which is certainly pressure in the ludicrous Old Firm bubble but every bit as great as another top job in a better league. |  |

You can think that – and I as a Hibs fan can agree that it’s a wonky league with the Old Firm dominance – but it’s still a massive job ESPECIALLY in comparison to Ipswich in the Championship.
Having said that, I think he’ll have a longer-term view and would ultimately be aiming for the English Premier. So that could be with us or by doing a good enough job that he’s offered a Prem gig.
But Celtic might still be too good to turn down if there’s a real offer put to him. And it’s definitely a viable shortcut to a top Prem job as Postecoglou has shown. |
Celtic win treble treble - Rodgers gets Leicester job
Rangers have superb time under Gerrard - Gerrard gets Villa job
Ange incredible at Celtic - Ange gets Spurs job
Go up there, do very well and it's a great route in to a top job |  |

As mentioned before.
Hes got 2 paths.
Continue the one he claimed to be on and that's learning to be a manager.
Or jump ship at a big opportunity at the first opportunity and ignore the development phase of his journey and just go for it.
If its gonna happen it needs to happen soon as we basically lose a management team thats been larger than some squads sub benches. |
Don’t be daft. He’ll learn as much if not more at Celtic.
If he leaves – and it’s a big if as we don’t even know how serious any of this is – he’ll have my best wishes and no recriminations. I wouldn’t expect him or any of our players for that matter to turn down a bigger, better opportunity for their football careers. [Post edited 7 Jun 2023 10:06]

Good point. Rodgers, Gerrard and now Postecoglou show that it’s a great stepping stone. | |

Why would he choose Celtic over Ipswich?
A move to Scotland is a waste of a move for any player / manager. A pub league with at most half a dozen big games and two in Europe which they invariably lose. |
Without the bias that we all have for Ipswich - Celtic is a big job, at a huge club.
Win trophies, get your first taste of European football and has Scotland has proven to be a strong stepping stone to good PL jobs - Ange, Brendan Rodgers and Steven Gerrard all in the past couple of years. |  | | |

Don't see it personally. A league where you have 1 competitor whilst the rest are friendlies each week.
It's high profile as it somehow gets you a euro campaign for winning a 2 team league.
He won't learn anything different there imo. But by beating rangers you've made a name for yourself. |  |

I would think Celtic would want someone with more experience. Likewise, I'm sure McKenna would see it as a great opportunity and a step up, but possibly too soon. I will be surprised if he goes anywhere this season but next summer might be a different story.
Clearly the Premier League is the destination KM will be setting his sights on long term. The Celtic job would be a great stepping stone to that, but from what he says and his career path so far, I would be surprised if he abandoned the project at this specific stage. More eyes on his tactics this season will most likely see his stock rise, even if our performance in the table is unspectacular.
They should go for Schumacher anyway, he won the league  |  |

You don't think he'd learn anything managing a big club that plays in the Champion's League? |  |

While this is sort of true, Celtic are nevertheless one of the biggest clubs in Britain and one McK grew up either loving or hating, so it’s a toss of a coin at this stage. I’ve said for a while Celtic are the club we should be worried about. |  |

Anyone thinking Mckenna wouldn't be interested in the Celtic job IF he was approached is living in cloud cuckoo land.
Have realism and forget your bias - think whatever you want of Scottish league but succeed their and you get offered Prem jobs, and it's far easier to be successful in Scotland than it is to be in the Championship.
I adore Mckenna, but if he left us for Celtic i'd not begrudge it one bit. |  |

From the euro games sure. But tbh can't see what he'd learn from the actual league. It's to easy.
I don't see him learning anything different to what he could learn by continuing to manage in the championship on route to getting promotion to the Premier league.
People mentioning some names about it being a stepping stone..
Rodgers... already had success before going. He'd learned his trade in English football before hand
Gerrard at rangers.. got villa job. Sacked for failing.
This new spurs manager. Let's see how he actually gets on. But came from years of managing abroad
It's a good job. I wouldn't begrudge him going. But I don't see it as a development move no.
Who's actually gone to celtic after 1 season in senior football who's then gone on to be a success after? Genuine question that... | |

Celtic obviously a big draw. I just can't see it though.
Everything at Town just seems to be going in the right direction. He will be backed here and it feels like a matter of time before we are back in the Prem based on the constant upgrading of the squad and the new regime being serious people.
Not saying he wouldn't go but he has the chance to be a legend here.
Hopefully there is nothing in it... |  |

Even in a two-horse league, the scrutiny/pressure as Celtic manager is as intense as the top teams in England. That’s insane but just the way it is.
McKenna knows all about high-level footballing demands as an assistant manager at Man U. But a manager is much more than that. It’s about being in charge/taking ultimate responsibility for performances and results, signing and getting the most out of players and being the public face of a club too.
Arguably, learning that is why he dropped down to us and League One. Celtic would be a massive step up and steeper learning curve on those scores which he may see as a challenge and opportunity that’s just too good to pass up. And to be fair, I think he’d be right. | |

I would have thought that the source of this is obvious - He has planted this story to get GC to dig a bit deeper in their pockets for Mbappe (or maybe that should be Hirst) | | | |

The previous Celtic manager has just got the Tottenham job |
That’s Tottenham’s issue now.
Surely Daniel Levy will be getting the chip soon for this latest incompetent move as he drives Spurs further into mediocracy. | | | |

You seem to think managers only learn from games. That is just one aspect of the role, an important one, but there's far more to being a manager than just managing a side for 90 minutes on a Saturday and in midweek. Celtic are a much bigger club than us, with huge levels of expectation, and that brings its own challenges. And there would of course be a lot of attraction in pitting himself against the best clubs and most respected coaches in the game in European competition as well. As a whole package the idea that we can compete with Celtic or are somehow a more attractive proposition is fanciful. You ask 100 managers who they would prefer to manage between Celtic and Ipswich and at least 99 of them would say Celtic. We have to hope that if there is an exception then it's McKenna, should he be approached. | |

You’re aware that Manchester City have won the Premier League in five out of the last six seasons?
Don’t kid yourself in that the Premier league is any more competitive when it comes to winning the title. |  |

I think people should remind the Celtic board that Scott Brown is a Celtic legend who has done a remarkable job at Fleetwood on a limited budget and McKenna’s team of superstars have failed to beat his team on both occasions last season. | |

On the flipside what would he learn he didn't at United in spades?
All that changes is putting his name to it, so it's the way he views that as a risk or not. I can't imagine it interests him compared to the jobs he'll be eyeing and have in reach next summer. |  |
