Oh my god - another McKenna thread, but here goes. 23:03 - May 23 with 1019 views | Lord_Lucan | If we lost Kieron to Man U then fair enough but I can't honestly see Man U going for an unproven manager at the highest level. Not saying he can't do it but I think it's an unlikely appointment. If we lost him to Brighton I'd be annoyed and although I have been criticised on here for suggesting it's a sideways move, I stick by this. I was having lunch yesterday with a WHU fan who agreed. So, Brighton a better club? Up yours baby! I've rambled a bit, but I've been finking. I think Ashton has got this sussed whatever happens, in fact, I think losing Ashton would be worse that losing McKenna. [Post edited 23 May 23:04]

Oh my god - another McKenna thread, but here goes. on 08:23 - May 24 with 526 views | GlasgowBlue | It’s not a sides way move. As been said before, Brighton are an established Premier League team with an infrastructure we will take two or three years to build. I think it was Phil who said that Kieran’s agents don’t see him staying at being good for his career path, and from what we’ve learned in the last few days Keiran seems open to a move despite his incredible achievements over the last two seasons, and the incredible bond he’s built up between the management team players and fans. Taking off our blue tinted spectacles, and I’m as guilty as the rest fir this, is keeping Ipswich in the Premier League simply an impossible job? To go further, with a squad of players who were playing in League One just thirteen months ago, do we need so many additions that it would be impossible to achieve in just one summer transfer window? And the view from KM is that we could be badly beaten by a a lot of teams next season? Is KM looking at our prospects realistically and fearing that next season could severely damage his reputation? | |

People have lost the plot a bit though, wishing McKenna 'failure' if he goes, saying he's conducted himself poorly etc. etc. - smacks of projection and defensiveness. | |

Those very reasons are the reasons it wouldn't damage his reputation too much IMO. It's what everyone expects (we get slaughtered every week because we came up too soon). Anything other than that enhances his reputation. If he comfortably keeps up essentially a League 1 team it massively enhances his reputation. | |

I think you are missing the gist of my post. Burnley were a relegated Premier league side who bounced back then got relegated again. We are a League one team with back to back promotions. Does KM not just see relegation, but a humiliating points total? Is our squad in such a need of overhaul that it’s impossible to achieve in one summer transfer window. Before the events of this week I hadn’t given it much thought. KM knows the Premier z league and what is required to stay in it. He knows our squad. He knows our budget. | |
