For all the doom and gloom, I’m optimistically looking forward to next season with Kieran in charge of an exciting young team, whichever division we end up in.
Football is unpredictable, this can all change with a few bad results, but it’s a fact that there are a limited number of clubs ‘bigger’ than us now.
At times, the risk of losing McKenna to one has been very high (e.g. last summer), but *currently*, I see the risk of that being repeated this summer to be quite diminished - purely because of the state of play at that limited number of other clubs:
HIGH RISK:
None
MEDIUM RISK:
Managers with the potential to be poached:
Bournemouth
LOW-MEDIUM RISK:
McKenna makes their shortlist, but existing managers likely to be given more time:
Chelsea, Man United, Tottenham, Brighton, Palace, West Ham
LOW RISK:
Current managers in strong position / less likely to be sacked or poached / less likely to come for McKenna:
Forest, Newcastle, Villa, Fulham, Brentford, Everton
Unknowns, but unlikely:
Wolves, Promoted sides
NO RISK:
Obvious no:
Liverpool, Arsenal, Man City

Maybe you should also consider the Vincent Kompany route away from the stigma of being manager of a relegated club, an approach from a major German side. |
I think Bayern’s desperation and continental connections had much to do with that, as well as the (unfair) advantage of a stellar playing career. That’s why I tend to limit my view to the OP, but you never know! | | | |

I take your point, typically it would be unlikely, but this isn’t a typical season.
With 11 games to go, almost every team is comfortably safe from last season’s Premier League, aside from Wolves, who are very likely to stay up since switching managers.
This doesn’t eradicate the risk, but it significantly reduces it, along with some more specific narratives / circumstances on a club-by-club basis. |
Yeah, that's reasonable. It is seems likely to be a quieter summer for managerial changes than is normal.
Although these things do change very quickly. |  | | |

They sure do!
Win tomorrow and McKenna might be at Old Trafford by the weekend!  | | | |
