BBC saying McKenna and Pert want to move on 16:00 - May 22 with 33549 viewsBluebacker

Talks with Ipswich are likely to take place this week and the Tractor Boys are expected to offer McKenna a new deal to convince him to stay at Portman Road.

BBC Sport understands that is expected to fail with the manager, and assistant Martyn Pert, feeling the time is right to move.

That’s been my worry. But given all the side conversations and so on that can happen, you’d think his agent would have a pretty good idea of how likely any Man Utd offer is going to be, wouldn’t you?


I think the agent will know there would be interest so is probably advising McKenna not to sign any improved contract until ETH situation develops, which it will shortly

I would assume the club are well aware of where the noise is coming from and that KMc isn't the instigator of that sort of story.


Yes, it says talks haven’t taken place yet but they’re expected to fail. Not too difficult to narrow it down is it?

What makes you think that about Brighton? Assume you mean that a “no” would come from KM rather than Brighton not wanting him?


Yes, from that angle.

It's probably worth us all remembering there was no "No" from McKenna around the Palace interest. He turned them down privately, and it just went away.

Hopefully the same happens here.

Surely KM exercises some control over his agent though? I mean I’d be pretty pissed if I’m KM now with this kind of crap damaging my brand.

I don't get the impression Brighton's going to happen and I'd be sceptical that Chelsea or Man U would offer him the job.


You should have locked the tread after your post. That good enough for me Phil.👍

No way should it go sour. He’s turned this club around in two seasons. Got us to the Premier league. If he goes then he goes with our love, thanks and gratitude.


It’s not that he’s possibly going, it’s the way he’s apparently going about it. Even if he stays, this article is going to have an impact with the fanbase and, if true, the board and potentially some of the players as well.

That's good re Brighton, I think he wants the Man Utd job, his agent knows ETH will be sacked, i'd imagine he would be shortlisted but just can't imagine he would get offered Man Utd job

I know people are happy to blame the agents, but on some level KM could put an end to this at any minute surely? He could ask the agent to stop, he could sign a contract at town. If he has been offered 100k a week as reported, given what we have been through the last two seasons after us taking a shot on him, with him supposedly loving it here and having a training ground designed to his spec, and he is STILL undecided, I am becoming very sour and at this point would happily turn our attentions elsewhere.

Yes, he could. But I think it's fairly clear that KMc wants to be Man Utd manager and Trimboli and team are trying to wedge open that opportunity at all costs.

Please don't base anything on this article. I don't think he's done anything wrong but there are inaccuracies in it, and apparently written by a Norwich supporter... so...

I can’t believe Chelsea would be willing to take that sort of risk so soon after Potter.

Well he is happy to leave us lingering then, if he is going to move he is happy with the fact we will have less time with whoever our next manager is and perhaps even choosing from a lesser pool of managers as they get taken.

Mashiter may have written it but, being the BBC, it’d have had to be signed off by someone before being published, and sources verified.

How is he going about it? By ignoring all the gossip and tabloid rumours?

We are now in the Premier League so we and our young brilliant manager are newsworthy.

Putting this onto KM acting inappropriately is poor form.

Yes fair enough- although some will presumably get taken in the next few days and transfers organised/ planned before the window. I suppose I'm just a bit annoyed about how this is happening and making the point that if he wanted to, KM could stop this.

Well not surprising:

fun fact 1: all of Brightons last three managers are now unemployed. (if we are doing facts)

fun fact 2: Brighton's current form is on a par with Forest

Just what I've heard. Agent is definitely pushing for Chelsea though.

Me too. I’d stop it dead. The agent works for McKenna, not the other way around.
