Brighton is serious. Think the others are more of a passing glance. - Will the result of tomorrow's FA Cup Final have any bearing on Erik ten Hag's future? If United do change boss, would they be bold enough to go with McKenna over more experienced options like Pochettino and Tuchel? As above, I think Manchester United will go with Pochettino or Tuchel. - How long will Brighton and Chelsea wait around for an answer if McKenna's waiting on Manchester United? Depends how much Brighton want him, and who else they have lined up. - Is Maresca really Chelsea's main target, or has that information been put out to force a decision from McKenna? I wonder whether they might go for Xavi now he’s available? - Is there any way that when the music stops the only/most appealing chair left for McKenna is Ipswich? If so, how will he/the club address the previous speculation? They’ll probably try and act as if none of this ever happened. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) |

It is in the article!! “I've seen some of the conspiracy theories. One is that we are keeping quiet because of some sort of cozy relationship with the club. That's simply not the case. I don't really understand how that would benefit either party“ | ![](/images/avatars/27582.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) | Login to get fewer ads

It is, but to be fair, it clearly would benefit both parties. The club dont want speculation. The EADT get excellent access on the back of co-operating. I'm not saying the 'conspiracy' is true, but there is clearly mutual benefit in having a good relationship. | ![](/images/avatars/834.gif) |

Maresca has the Pep connection and it appears the football world has gone Pep connection crazy - see Kompany and Bayern Munich. It's as if Pep is now viewed as some manager God and clubs want anyone who has worked with him irrelevant of capabilities | ![](/images/avatars/20753.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |
You can add Arteta to the Pep connection. on 17:45 - May 24 with 1784 views | Marshalls_Mullet |
