As all the pieces start to come together, I think Brighton were serious about getting McK, and that in reality Chelsea and Man Utd were not. Much as we love him and all that, to the outsider, McK getting a job at a top 6 club this early in his career just seemed a little far fetched. Either way his agent has played a blinder, but I reckon any new contract comes with a £10m+ release clause. Do you think he was serious about going, or was this a bargaining tool for a new deal? |  | | |  |

Similar. I've been approached by other employers and spoken with them to see what's on offer. Not because I wanted to leave my then/current job. It's quite healthy to see what's out there. I think most are similar.
KM speaking with them doesn't destroy future options with them, quite the opposite in fact. |
Nice to see you back Stu, hope all good with you 👍 |  |

100% same for me.
Also have reservations about how far things had got with Palace - I don't doubt some were getting info from sources that were usually reliable for them, but a 'U-turn' sounds most un-KM-like, and really only he, his family, execs at both clubs & his agent know exactly what did or didn't happen. |
My understanding is that KMac's agent gave overly-optimistic indications to Palace. | | | |

I thought some well informed people on the forum said last week that him going to Brighton was likely. Whether the information given out was over exaggerated, but definitely must have been something in that.
Also Chelsea have appointed the Leicester Manager, so I see no reason why they wuldn't have been interested in McKenna too. | | | |

Interesting (albeit I don’t know what your source/s is/are). | |

I think he was very serious about leaving for Brighton but has had a change of mind and was certainly interested to hear what Chelsea and Man U had to say. |  | | |

For some reason, this makes me very nervous again. |  |

My best guess would be he was for MUFC, and can’t blame him.
But the other two, I’m not so sure. Guessing that was more agent work, which I’m was sht for us |  |

It's weird that he is prone to changing his mind about jobs (Palace verbal agreement, Brighton interest) but he is so focused and decisive in his team selection and everything within the club he touches.
I like to think that the Club and it's fans have done such a good job this season exuding love and support and providing maybe 1%+ extra incentive / persuasion to stay (apart from the recent haters ofc).
I think he will remain for 1 season and then off to Real |  | | |

I was going to say we'll have one more year but we might not get that when Mid Season churn starts happening at other clubs. |  | | |

In all honesty think he was quite respectful by his silence. Nothing really came from his side (which is normally the way). Don't believe he was "seaking" a move, more dealing with approaches in a respectful manager. He works very professionally with MA and now believe behind closed doors things were much calmer. Sure there was constant comms between KM and the club. We are going to have to get used to "stories" coming out and increased speculation with things and often things being over exaggerated. Our club over last couple of years has become far more professional in its dealings. | | | |

There is no evidence to suggest he was looking for a move ..nothing stopping the clubs from ringing his agent..and common courtesy would suggest he listen to what they are saying..but the usual circus will take off. Between Newspapers and bookies and usual sources to add more fuel ..i | | | |

I think he was and I am guessing that ManU and Chelsea being interested has raised his own expectations to a level where amove to Brighton now sound pretty meh to him; so he might as well stay at Town and if things still go okay, he will have new options in the future as premier managers do not seem to last as long in the job as they used to. | | | |
