Someone comes along two years ago and says that you'll have a new manager come in, you'll win promotion that season and again the next, with near 100 points and 100 goal seasons, you'll witness some of the best football imaginable, some of the greatest games you've ever seen, the greatest atmospheres you will experience, turn up every week to watch you beat whatever is put in front of you, your fans will completely fall in love with the club again, neutrals will be raving about the club and said manager then departs with you in the Premier League financially secure for god knows how long.
Absolutely everyone is taking that.
We've been incredibly lucky and spoilt. We've lived two of the best seasons it's possible to experience as a football fan. It was always going to end somewhere, with McKenna leaving, with relegation or with fans bored of yet another 9th finish in the Premier League.
I am hoping Kieran stays. I honestly think if he does we stay up comfortably next year. But whatever happens now he was going to leave one day, as will Ashton, as will all of these players that we've come to love. One day it'll be bloody dross again.
But for now, with or without Kieran - hopefully with - we've got memories to last a lifetime, so much to look forward to and the future of our club looks both incredible and, from the away end at Barrow and Charlton not long ago, completely impossible.
One thing the near move to Palace in February helps with is Ashton, who leaves no stone unturned anyway, would no doubt already have a list of perfect replacements for the Premier League and Championship if McKenna was to have left at the end of the season.
The club is in incredible hands and what a time to be a Town fan. But like everything good in football it ends. Really hope that everything that's happened over those two seasons is enough for Kieran to stay for this one season and see how far he can really take us.
But he can do whatever he wants to now for his career or family with nothing but good wishes and thanks from me. I never ever thought I'd get remotely close to the two seasons that man has just given us all. [Post edited 23 May 2024 9:16]
