Just back from Dussleford to see endless threads and macabre posts about how McKenna has gone!
He hasn't! He is still employed by Ipswich and there is nothing at the club to suggest to the contrary.
A few lazy journalist posts, a couple of twitter ITK posts and beating odds which are just to make money and every one is all doom and gloom as though people can't make their own minds up just follow the crowd. Even the Brightn fans think we are an odd bunch. We sound like a bunch of kids
No, I don't see him going - not this year.
Did he look like a man wanting to leave when we beat Huddersfield (or the games leading up) no. He has invested in the club, chosen the players, helped design the new Playford Road etc - and this was even before we got promoted. Nothing will have changed.
If he didn't have the backing of the CEO or investors, yes, maybe time to worry, but that clearly is't the case.
His family are settled in the area and the kids at school/.
Fans worship him and him back.
Players totally respect him
So why is everyone heated? He isn't a man looking for out - he is a man starting a journey and that I am sure is still with us for a while.
Man U and Chelsea wont touch him - he's untested in this league and in fairness the league below and management. - too risky at the moment. As for Brighton -there is nothing much to worry about - its where the club want to be so why would he not do th at journey with us. People go this worried about Palace. He has just over two years in management - he's done amazing but is untested and still raw...
Our fans like for nothing but to moan, panic and think the worst.
As Ashton said, if it hasn't come from the club don't believe it. And no, we don't need the club to come out with a Statement.
God, if I was McKenna and reading all these posts (plus other social media) I'd be thinking the fans don't really care as they are already sorting my replacement. And I'd bet he and the players do read all this.
Can we all just grow up, stop believing social medial messages and actually listen to the club? And go back and watch all the interviews and see all the clip and ask yourself if this is a man who wants out, and cut his journey short? |  | | |  |

1. Nobody's said their *interest* isn't "very real". Plus conjecture.
2. The talksh1te bloke is conjecturing, as per.
3. I've already commented
4. Joe's "feeling" is conjecture.
5. "I'm hearing lots of rumours and conjecture".
I'll go with Ashton, the fact KM's on holiday & not in Sussex for interviews etc. (would be interested in any sightings of him "bumping into" BAHA connections at his holiday destination though); the views of the Brighton fans, and Brighton's own statement that there'd be many obstacles to overcome (or words to that effect) if they did or have make/made a play for him. |
Interesting that you have totally avoided comment, here, on what Phil's said. [Post edited 21 May 2024 16:59]

LOL, no response, other than a couple of downarrows, for posting a fact.
The debating equivalent of putting your fingers in your ears and going "lalala I can't hear you." | |

Ryorry has already responded here, so I'm not sure there's need for extra comment:
Please for the love of god will people stop... by Ryorry 21 May 2024 10:28People are reading so much into a few words which have inherent wriggle room.
“increasingly likely” can mean KM’s about 10% of the way towards leaving us for Brighton, or 90%.
I prefer to believe 10%. Anyone feeling that makes me‘delusional’ is free to do so if it relieves their stress and makes them feel better.
All I have done is reply calmly and logically to your comments and now you're upset about downarrows which is a bit surprising because you started that with my initial post which was intended to diffuse tensions between Rommy and Lizzibee.
I'm not sure there's much more to add. [Post edited 21 May 2024 17:21]

I'm not sure what your points built to. I was only indicating it wasn't unreasonable to consider it increasingly likely (that being much more than 10%) , and you seemed to be downplaying without direct reference to Dr Phils actual blood chilling words, so I provided the structure.
Phil T Barnum has now swung us back the other way. [Post edited 21 May 2024 17:30]

I was responding to the post I was replying to, funnily enough, where she's attacked the things it's easy to attack. Strawmanning. | |

I was simply replying to the points you made, that was literally all.
I gave 10% & 90% as *examples* of what "increasingly likely" could mean, not as hard & fast figures - sorry if my writing didn't make that clear. Obviously I prefer to go with the bottom end of the scale of possibilities in that. [Post edited 21 May 2024 19:56]

I've seen what you posted elsewhere, we even discussed it. I was literally responding to the post I was replying to, where you've listed all the options and dismissed them (except for Phil's quote).
Phil's quote is the only one you need to give credence to, IMO. | |

Oh ffs, as I'd already commented on it four times I didn't see the need to do so for a fifth time.

I don't know Lizzibee from Adam (or Eve), and despite her incorrect assertions about your Portman Road attendances I think you're being a little harsh saying she's "outright unlikeable."
None of us want Kieran to go and we all deal with that possibility (however great or remote) differently. Lizzibee puts forward good arguments as to why KMcK would/should stay and is probably irked by the volume of posts talking about his imminent departure when there's little substantial to support that belief other than speculation and bookmaker odds at present. There's almost a feeling here that some posters would rather hear that he's leaving rather than have the uncertainty of not knowing and this is probably the reason for her "you are part of the problem" comment - because the angst on the forum comes across almost as fearing it into existence. I doubt very much that she is trying to clamp down on your (or anyone else's) freedom of expression.
If there was ever a case for a single "Kieran Speculation" thread this is it because the sheer volume of threads on the matter makes us look like a laughing stock to rival fans. If I was a budgie I would find the apparent panic on display here deeply consoling after their disappointing season. [Post edited 21 May 2024 10:14]

To be fair, Phil posted he was hearing more and more noise that he was off. Or words to that affect. |
And you blindly follow Phil...has it happened, no | | | |

What is actually wrong with you? What makes you think you’re such a better fan than everyone else that you can dictate what they can and can’t say on a supporters forum? Telling people they should give their season tickets back, who do you think you are.
Some people can’t go every week, for many different reasons. For financial or physical reasons. Doesn’t make you more of a fan or a better fan. | | | |

Come on Lizzee, thats a little bit of a silly thing to say.
Phil does have contacts within the club and reporting community. He said in another thread comment that he expected yesterday to run the story and start the new manager speculation based on what he was hearing.
Im actually someone who didn't think he would leave, especially to Brighton. But when Phil is saying what he has then clearly it very nearly happened. Why it didnt and whether it still could i dont know.
But you cant start attacking other board members for reacting to significant news like that. Its not blindly following Phil. |  |

I hope he stays with you as well. |
Are you saying our KM is not good enough for you??
I’ll have you know, you’d be damn lucky to have him, he’s a wonderful, warm….
