No new injuries, just those we were already aware of.
Had apology from officials from first two goals last week. |  | | |  |

No. It's just nonsense Frimmers. How would a manager motivate players when they all know he's off? Why would Gamechanger allow someone to manage all the millions involved with this club when they know his heart and head are elsewhere? |
Of course flash its highly unlikely but not so impossible that he couldn't be taking a town press conference whilst behind the scenes talking to palace. |  |

I'm not sure being the best Frimmers tribute act since Chris_Makin is a good look. [Post edited 9 Feb 2024 14:41]

He could. Although:
(a) I'm not sure why he'd make that decision now given the position we're in, as we have a higher ceiling than palace IF we get into the PL,
(b) he seems fully invested into the 'project' here and things are going well, and
(c) his ceiling is potentially a lot higher than Palace (no disrespect to them, but if he can have a successful season in the PL I'd expect the top 6-8 to be sniffing around).
Palace would be guaranteed PL experience now of course, but will it still be come the end of the season? Probably, but they're not too far above the drop zone. |
(a) - do we, and if so by how much (and the IF there is massive)
(b) - true, but if he wants to progress he'll have to move at some point
(c) - is it not easier to get that successful season at Palace than here? |  |

WTF does an apology do, though?
Tens, if not hundreds, of millions on the line, and we're supposed to just suck it up and say, 'I appreciate your honesty' and move on 3 points worse off?
The Championship should have VAR for offsides at the very least - I know there's an automated offside tech being trialled currently elsewhere. |
Fear not.
Blue cards are coming to the rescue.
Or something.

Personally I think Palace is a job I'd avoid in his shoes - not really going anywhere, going to lose at least one of Olise and Eze this summer and difficult to attract good replacements seemingly. I'd be much more interested in a West Ham/Brentford/Fulham type position (assuming they change managers this summer) rather than jumping at the first Premier League team that came knocking.
That being said, you never know if the opportunity will come your way again. |  | | |

Why would any Town fan, right now, not think that might not be for another 10 years, after we've failed to win the Champs League despite making the final stages of it 3 years running? :) |  |

It can be both depending how you view it is it not?
Do I think it's happening. No, it's unlikely but not impossible I think he will give it another year.
In regards to your actual post to that poster regarding a press conference. Just attending a press conference for town doesn't stop KM from having discussions behind the scenes. Hence why he could do so quite easily..
You seem to think he couldn't be doing both. Well he could if he wanted too.
Hope that helps | |

I'd be amazed if anything will happen now, but think Palace will be coming hard after him in the summer - if they do then I think people are underestimating how big a pull that will be | |

What would help is if you stopped digging.
You think the club would allow McKenna to be discussing taking over Palace whilst still running Town? Or do you reckon he'd be doing it secretly (although not that secretly if Aviator's able to post it on here)? | |

Definitely beeing seen through blue-tinted spectacles. Palace are an established Premier League team, in comparison to us who have just come out of league one. As you say though, probably more likely to be the summer. |  | | |

Palace aren’t really going anywhere at the minute, but that’s the exact reason they’re likely to be looking for a manager. Just as when McKenna was appointed, we weren’t going anywhere.
People are really underestimating the pull of an established Premier League club. Should we not get promoted and Palace are still in the Prem, I’d be surprised if McKenna is still here next season. [Post edited 9 Feb 2024 15:07]

Presumably, being under contract, would need to have got permission from Town before talking to Palace? |  |

If they think KM would dump us for them if he's got us up, I think they'd be foolishly wasting their time - more money than sense. And if KM were to actually accept, he'd not be the man I think he is. | |

What interruption would be required for offsides? It's as black and white as the goal line technology that Championship refs already have at their disposal. |
You can't have watched many Premier League games with VAR if you think it's an instantaneous process. It often takes a few minutes for them to decide, and then they still occasional get it wrong, as seen in one example earlier this season. | | | |

Complete agreement on that from me.
McKenna dumping us at the very first sniff of a Premier League club, less than a year after signing a 4 year contract just doesn't feel like his M.O. |  |

I think KM (and e.g. Palace) would be concerned re the impact he could make going straight in mid-season. If he went there and got relegated he'd be under massive pressure straight away so it's often better (as Palace have a history of doing) in bringing in a temp.
He would interview incredibly well wouldn't he. That's my worry more generally. | | | |

If compensation was agreed then yeah I imagine a club would allow their manager to do so. | |

Depends doesn't it
Here he has ffp issues.
We have a couple of players he could sell but other than that theres not much to help him with finances.
He's losing a qtr of this seasons team at the end of the season.
I think he may stay to give it another year
But if I were a manager and a prem club came calling absolutely I'd be off. | |

Well you wouldn't send him on gardening leave during discussions, he could say no after talking to them.
I don't know what he'd do. But many are quick to assume he 100% wouldn't be interested when he's actually quite quick in reminding people like he did today that his stock rises when things are well. Which is obvious. But also it goes the other way. He may not have prem interest in him again for a few years, you just don't know in football..
I'm quite torn on what I think he'd do. I think some days he will carry on his project here. But then when I think of the risks on being a manager in the champ with our financial restrictions the more I think he could jump if a prem club calls as you don't know what the future holds.
