His agent is truly is a miracle worker, heās somehow managing to turn our fan base against McKenna a month after all weāve been through.I would have genuinely though that impossible, but heās starting to lose me too. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Old Trafford it is then on 20:03 - May 23 by itfcsuth | Itās actually becoming incredibly unprofessional the public flaunting by his representatives, which is very unlike Kieran McKenna nature. Of course discussions occur, but the public nature of this is becoming very unprofessional. Itās also very poor form given Erik Ten Hag is still in a job and has an FA Cup Final this weekend. |
Didnāt stop Man Utd when they did the same to Van Gaal as he was preparing for an FA Cup Final. Got rid of him 48 hours later, despite winning the thing. Canāt think Ten Haagās overly motivated for this weekend, given he isnāt facing that pillock Pardew in the opposition dug out. | ![](/images/avatars/11722.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

And doesn't have to accept it if it is offered. Surely he must realise that, while this is his dream job, it's perhaps come a bit too soon for him? It's like meeting your dream partner when you're a teenager, only to quickly realise everythings not as great as you thought it was. I know it's easy to say now, but I would be waiting a while if I were him - he's so young, that this job is bound to come up again in 5/10 years, when he'll have so much more experience to deal with it. Imagine if he takes the job and gets sacked in the first year, he won't be able to show his face at OT for a decade. | ![](/images/avatars/7199.gif) |

Tbh I'm surprised anyone would give him credit if everything we've read is true. Absolutely all the credit with what he's achieved. But this is distasteful and a kick in the gut for all the support he's had from the board. Players and the fans. If everything is true. I'd suggest people have become mckenna fans over ipswich fans if they don't feel even a pinch of resentment. That's not belittling mckenna and I don't want that to come across that way but we are here as town supporters and we've heard all along about culture. Project. Closeness. Loyalty etc etc and the stuff coming out doesn't match any of that. [Post edited 23 May 21:41]

Old Trafford it is then on 20:09 - May 23 by Herbivore | How do you know this one is coming from his representatives? They said on Talksport on Simon Jordan's show that a source at United had said there'd been talks, this is very likely Sky hearing the same or rehashing another story. |
Reps will be pushing twice as much to media than the clubs will, all a bit too much publicly for my liking. Edit: I do not begrudge him at all listening to offers from Chelsea & Man Utd by the way, you canāt turn your nose up at them clubs, but not a fan of the public approach, conduct the business behind close doors and come to a solid conclusion for all, but thatās just my personal approach.

Come on, of course he would have to listen to Chelsea. Champions League winner, Premier League winner, significant backing, huge contract, massive club, squad full of talent and European football next year. We have step out of the snow globe of Ipswich and look at the bigger picture. | ![](/images/avatars/24693.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

But McKenna isn't the only manager being linked to these posts. Some (perhaps a lot) of the speculation isn't under his or his representatives' control. There's a lot of news space to fill. | ![](/images/avatars/438.gif) |

Some will be driven by club, but it will largely driven by reps in this circumstance, they are the real beneficiary in having it perceived that ātheirā man is the most in demand manager, and that multiple big clubs are calling, purely to force hands and hold bargaining power. I suppose it just comes with the territory wherever the big clubs are involved, they fill the headlines, but just personally donāt like it all playing out in the media, would rather none of us know, absolutely hold the discussions in confidence and conclude a deal if thatās best for all. I do agree though, heās not the only name being linked, and nothing decided from any club yet, seems the big boys are just eyeing up all the top talent at the moment before they make their decision. Personally, Brighton is a bigger concern for me, and a more realistic alternative. | ![](/images/avatars/24693.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |
