"Noise can be easy to filter out with the use of a bit of common sense.
There has, however, always been one club that has worried me when it comes to McKenna potentially being lured away - and that's Brighton. Long-term listeners to our Kings of Anglia podcast will know I've been saying that for more than a year now. The pair just seem like a good fit in terms of values and playing style.
That job is now available following Saturday's news that Roberto De Zerbi, linked to the likes of Bayern Munich and Juventus, is leaving. Within hours, several major news outlets had put McKenna in the frame and this time, tellingly, the language - 'expected to make a move for' - is much firmer.
For now, we just have to wait out a period of uncertainty and live with that knot in the stomach. That's the price of success." |  | | |  |

Like their playing squad and training ground*, he’s a huge upgrade.
Speaks extremely well. Highly respected. Has done deals and worked at the highest level.
Closer in style to McKenna than Ashton.
Seems to share similar values and approach with McKenna.
He’ll be doing a good job in his approach and will be compelling.
I really think the hope is McKenna wanting to keep family in Suffolk, the history of the club, him wanting to see out the project, our more vociferous and vibrant fan base.
I do worry about the gulf in squad quality though, and the fact our new training centre is at least a season away.
Everything crossed he stays. |  |
