I think we're all a bit punch drunk from the season gone, and combine that with the withdrawal symptoms and lots of us are coming up with a load of old pony. Myself, very much included. Might take a bit of a break for my sanity, can't be doing with all the angsty McKenna and players out transfer crap again.

Tbf i think the point the OP is trying to make is that he like the two Sirs could stay at Ipswich for a similar timeframe and still move on with 8-10 years experience hopefully regenerating the clubs playing prowess having built a club in his own image. Moving on now would be to a large extent buying into another clubs vision.

Trouble is now is very much different times... not sure even oor owners would have the patience of the Cobbolds if things got sticky?

I don’t know about SBR&SAR but he could have a 6-10 year project at ITFC if he wanted it and continued building the infrastructure and playing squad.

I can’t recall any occasion where he has even hinted that he believes that.

He’s been brilliant for us, but he won’t be matching the achievements of either of those two, simply because the game has moved on ridiculously in terms of financial imbalance.

If he goes this summer, he’s done a superb job in the recent history of the club and doesn’t merit ridiculous brain dumps such as this.

You should never compare yourself to others, only the previous version of yourself.

On the basis of this post, you can rest assured your only way is up.

Bobby was sacked once, for finishing second in the Portuguese title race with Sporting.

He won the title, their FA Cup, and lost to Barcelona in a champions league semi final
the following season with Porto, and managed Barca the next season, shaping his interpreter (Mouhino) and his next door neighbour (villas -boas) into world class coaches along the way.

The miracles he achieved with us, was just start of him working miracles wherever he went.

He NEVER managed in the EFL. He won trophies in the Netherlands, Spain, Portugal, England and reached a World Cup semi final…., winning titles and European trophies, was normal.

That’s what elite looks like. A brilliant season in the championship, as fantastic as it was, isn’t elite.

There seems to be such a large amount of what can only be described as ignorance as to how good Alf and Robson actually were.

We aren’t talking Ipswich legends…, we’re talking football legends, two of the best in the English history of the game.

They never managed big clubs, with huge budgets, in the lower leagues, for a reason. That’s what elite actually looks like.

And you’re conflating that to a manager who is young and talented, but has only had success and about 100 times lower levels, and just produced the worst season in our history, and however you measure it, did so with significantly more resources than Bobby who won European trophies (signing 14 players in ten years).

If McKenna achieves 1% of what Bobby did, he’ll have a career beyond his wildest dreams.

Seriously.

Go and watch how Bobby built teams at Barca, Ipswich, PSV, Newcastle, Lisbon and Porto…., his Porto team left a legacy that saw them win the champions league.

Even his Newcastle side with Robert and Shearer destroyed us 5-0 in the cup, and it could have been 10…, they’d beat this group by a cricket score, that’s just the reality of levels.

If you still think Mcknna is even in the same profession (currently) then he’s not.

It’s like comparing a really tasty burger van to a Michelin star restaurant…, both delicious food, but not the same. Not even close to the same.

Levels. The delusion needs to end, it’s not helpful. It shouldn’t be a stick to beat McKenna because maybe no manager will teach those levels, but it’s SO disrespectful and lacking in football IQ to even mention them in the same breath.

McKenna woukd give his left arm to achieve 1% of what Biobby did, and/or to become a concert pianist as Bobby would say.

If McKenna is actually pacing the halls of Playford Road wondering, ā€œam I the next Ramsey or Robson reborn?ā€ then we may as well offer him a goblet, a raven, and a scroll of parchment, because he’s clearly started making decisions via ancient Ipswich divination. Maybe we should ask him to finish off the Wolsey Gate.

Meanwhile, Brentford will outside in a Ford Galaxy flashing Ā£5 notes and shouting, ā€œOi Kieran - We’ve got a drone and a kombucha fridge!ā€
