With everything going on with McKenna, even if he does end up staying, surely there’s now going to be a saltiness in the air? He’s clearly interested in other things and not 100% on us.. do we even want him anymore? With us going into the transfer market, it’s going to put potential players off coming here with all this noise now as a lot of players would join because of him. We can probably be sure Omari won’t be coming back now after all this.
I know he obviously isn’t an Ipswich fan like we are and clearly doesn’t have a connection to the club as much as we thought he did, clearly he’s more of a businessman than we thought. But we gave him his chance.
If he goes anywhere other than Man Utd which is clearly the job he wants then he can get fcked. Would be hoping he gets a hostile reaction if he returned as Brighton or Chelsea boss.

Do we want one of the best young managers in the world to be our manager still? Yes, I would say.
Anyone that can wish him any ill after taking us from 11th in L1 to the Premier League in 2 and a half years is silly. | | | |

Yes, of course we still want him. He's an incredibly talented manager who has done amazing work here. |  |

It's posts like this that make me think that maybe McKenna is best placed elsewhere.
The fallout has been incredible and shows how immature a chunk of our fanbase is. As soon as we get a bump in the road, tears start flowing. Clearly, some of our fans aren't yet grown up enough to deal with the real world. |  |

Agreed, it's really rather pathetic and the toxicity they're creating is hardly likely to persuade McKenna to stay (thankfully I doubt he reads social media). I think a wormhole might have opened between the news comments and the forum as I don't recognise the usernames of most of the worst culprits. | |

Totally agree. I don’t want to waste Phil’s time but I’m now tempted to use the abuse tab for all posts like this one. I don’t care about free speech anymore. It’s simply getting embarrassing. | | | |

Of course we want him but I would expect this media storm every time a premiership manager gets sacked. It would be tense wouldn't it. We need this sorted ASAP but in reality it hasn't been going on long, and just for another 7 days max I would say. |  |

I think if we ride out these current vacancies we'll actually be okay until next summer. McKenna turned down Palace midseason when there was no guarantee we'd be a Prem side come the end of the season and I think with the way he works he'd be reluctant to jump ship in the middle of the season. There might be exceptions to that, such as a United or Liverpool or City, but I'd be surprised to see any of those jobs become vacant midseason anyway. | |

Worst thing about it, is that it’s going to happen again and again as long as Kieran McKenna is manager.
I just hope the supporters having big reactions to it this first time around find a way to manage through any time after this that he’s linked with jobs that doesn’t involve the spiralling out of control with vitriol and hyperbole and winding one another up.
It’s par for the course with having one of the brightest managerial prospects in world football. | | | |

It's not him being linked that's upsetting many IMO. it's the constant leaks - whether true or not. Him and Pert wanting to move on, the 'come and get me' to Chelsea, meeting United's representatives whilst they still have a manager in post.
I'm now trying to tell myself it's all hearsay - take a step back and only react to concrete news. But it isn't always easy and I can see why some are feeling put out by what's out there already. If he stays, I'm going to have to fight for logic to win over emotion. | |

Threads like this are turning us into a laughing stock with their self-entitled idiotic twaddle. FFS some of you - get a grip |  |

Kieran McKenna is going to be a media darling, he has a wonderful story and incredible potential, this is just going to be the norm now. | | | |

I hope he stays and gives us a season in the Prem, after that its up to him. If he leaves after a season in the top tier no matter what happens his reputation will be intact. If he opts to walk away to a 'bigger club' I would feel like I have been dumped by my girlfriend and I would never wish her well after that and I'd pray that she ended up homeless. In the event of Kieran returning to Portman Road in his Man U or Chelsea tracksuit I for one and many others will not applaud him. Mark Ashton and his team introduced Kieran, gave him a chance and the opportunity to be where he is, so he should at least stay for another season. The analogy is rather tongue in cheek by the way! | | | |

To take your tongue in cheek analogy and run with it…
The OP is akin to being with a beautiful woman, going out with her and being upset that she’s turning heads or that people want to talk to her.
You’re seething and work yourself up about it so much that you get to the point where you say you don’t want to be with her because of it- cutting your nose off to spite your face in the process. | | | |

Hmm but is the beautiful woman going on dating apps, saying she is looking to improve on who she's with (or allowing her friend to do this for her)? | |
