I'm resigned to KM leaving in the summer 19:51 - Feb 13 with 4746 views | gtsb1966 | have been for a couple of months to be honest. The infrastructure, running and potential of this club is so good now that I would have every faith in us finding a perfect shoo-in. Of course I don't want KM to go and if he doesn't I'll be very happy but it doesn't make me fear for the club going forward on the field. There would be many good candidates wanting to come here. We are a club on the rise whatever happens. |  | | |  |
I'm resigned to KM leaving in the summer on 20:03 - Feb 13 with 4636 views | peterleeblue | Blimey. Why cant everyone give this a rest? Its like ITFC fans are talking McKenna out of the building. I think McKenna is great I really do. But if he as good as his stocks says it is he needs to get us back challenging again. He has been well backed arguably better than any manager we have had since George Burley bought Marcus Stewart. If we don't get promoted then he should stay here as for me he is a top championship manager. Therefore managing at the level of his current ability. |  | |  |
I'm resigned to KM leaving in the summer on 20:07 - Feb 13 with 4628 views | blueasfook | I think the only way he is staying is if we win promotion. I've never heard of a manager parting company with a club on going up. Surely, would be a first? But I hope the board are thinking of contingency should KM depart and thinking about his replacement if worst comes to the worst. |  |

Some good options out there: Potter (genuinely think he might be interested), Rohl has impressed me, Manning is one to keep and eye on. Few wild cards as well including someone like Lee Grant. |  |

I think one of the first things Ashton mentioned when he came in is the need for the club to have the infastructure in place so that every time a manager leaves the whole club ethos is not disrupted. And given the turnaround in managers in the Champ these days he's quite right. |  | |  |
I'm resigned to KM leaving in the summer on 22:15 - Feb 13 with 4265 views | ArnieM | When McKenna leaves - and it has always been “ when”, I fear he will take half the back room staff and certain players with him …. Personally I think if he did leave in the summer ( especially to the likes of Palace ), I would say he actually lacks ambition to leave for such a PL club. If you’re going to leave Kieran think big man ! |  |

Do you mean to the Premier League? Otherwise, I'm surprised it's uncommon for managers to join 'bigger fish' in leagues they've just been promoted to. I know Phil Parkinson took Colchester to the Championship and then promptly resigned with a year left on his contract, - and then joined Hull three weeks later, in the same league. Nothing Colchester could do about it. They did get 400,000 in compensation. I think that figure was worked out by some kind of tribunal. |  | |  |

Darren Moore, technically left after Wednesday were promoted. I'm not sure of the reasons, but who would know with their owner;) You may have meant Premiership, in any case, I don't see McKenna leaving if we are promoted. This definitely puts pressure on the players to succeed, if they want him to stay, which i'm sure is a given. Also the supporters can play their part in vocally pushing the team on. I'm sure it wont be popular, but everyone is replaceable. There are other good managers out there. Schumacher jumped ship, not going so well for him, is it. It's just my opinion, but, I think a manager needs to be ambitious, he needs to publicly show ambition. i don't think it would look good if he were to completely dismiss the idea of joining a premiership club. Difficult decisions for McKenna, by staying until at least the end of the season, it proves loyalty. on the other hand he needs to keep motivating our team and hopefully we make the premiership. Not going to be easy, pressure on everyone involved with the club now. |  | |  |

Arthur Cox left Newcastle after getting them promoted with Beardsley, Waddle etc. |  | |  |

For obvious reasons the majority of managerial changes come in season. There's zero guarantee that there's an appropriate job for McKenna available post-season. That's before we get to thinking about exactly how high his stock would be for a PL club if he's just blown a 10-point lead and missed out on the play offs. |  |

Me too but maybe it was a lower league promotion Fwiw whilst I see KM leaving eventually, if he leaves this summer he ain't half as smart as we all think he is, I think regardless of what happens with Town he'll be manager next season. |  | |  |

Derek Adams took Morecambe up through the play-offs in 2021 and was appointed Bradford C manager four days later. Morecambe were remarkably forgiving. [Post edited 14 Feb 2024 14:47]
