McKenna and Leicester on 16:17 - Jun 13 by blue_curacao | Hoping it is all just rumours. As of 3.30pm today Sporting Life are reporting that McKenna is the new favourite. I've no idea how reliable Sporting Life are but it's worrying! |
It's a load of tosh. Paddy and Betfair still have Parker as 4/9 fav. |  | |  |

McKenna and Leicester on 16:25 - Jun 13 by Sharkey | I think Sporting Life can be trusted to know what the odds are with a particular booky. As it's primarily a racing site, odds is their top interest. But they do point out that no odds are available for Scott Parker for some reason. |
Sporting Life is owned by same group as Sky Bet. Reading between the lines it looks very much like Parker has the job if he wants it and the odds on the rest is just managing risk. I have no doubt that McKenna was on some sort of internal list but I think people like the OP are taking something likely and adding to it to try and look informed. He couldn't even keep his story straiight. For now, I wouldn't worry. If Parker suddenly rules himself out then it might be moore serious but i'm sure we have had some sort of confirmation from McKenna that he is staying. The likes of Luongo signing make zero sense if not. |  |

Likely testament to how twitchy the manager markets are rather than that company having insider knowledge. McKenna going into 2nd fav after random social media rumour speaks volumes too. The moment anything trustworthy appears the market will close. |  | |  |

I'd imagine he's said that as part of his 5 year contract extension interview. The one where he also announces the club have an option on a further 5 years. With a £200m compensation release clause. The interview will be out tomorrow. [Post edited 13 Jun 2023 17:15]

Club doesn’t need to release that article though. Would be a strange thing to put out if he was imminently off. [Post edited 13 Jun 2023 17:18]

Doesn't mean much, out of work managers will talk to any club wanting to talk to them. Leicester have moved on to Hoefkens anyway. |  |

It's not proof but it looks increasingly unlikely he's suddenly going to be off. |  |

Tbf I personally wouldn't expect him to go to another champ club despite the differences in set ups available. He's on a good thing here. However the celtic job or similar could test that. But think they're going for Rodgers anyway. |  |

10 minutes before, so that the ITFC admin can run a "Double signing" tease for a couple of hours. Phil Babb will sign on Saturday. |  |

Strange that the Foxes forum doesn't seem to have picked up this latest rumour. They seem to have given up talking about him. |  | |  |

This latest rumour is just some twitter ITK type pushing the same story from 4 days ago. And the possibly the same person posting on here. |  | |  |

Leeds are a much bigger club than Leicester so no wonder Parker fancies going to Elland Road especially now the owners of the San Francisco 49ers have taken full control of the club. |  | |  |

McKenna and Leicester on 18:26 - Jun 13 with 1922 views | ArnieM | I’d be really disappointed in McK if this turns out to be true. I can’t honestly see this ad a step up gif him either ? I know many on here dispute my view ) but they are in a mess and run by a basket case since original owner died ( yes I know a family member). We have a VERY good set up here now. He and Ashton are working very closely I just can’t see him walking away so quickly or that we would allow it to happen that easily either …. Hues it’s a case of breath held and fingers firmly crossed. |  |

Do we have a "very good setup" or do we just have an ownership who can blow the rest of League 1 out of the water financially...? The beauty of football is we'll find out next season! |  | |  |
