Ashton will hopefully have a list of target replacements, he should be listening to noise, they sometimes turn into facts |  | |  |

Ashton doesn't need to listen to any noise, he will be entirely aware of the situation's realities. As McKenna's employer, any approaches need to be made through him. |  |

Of course, perhaps I wrote that poorly. I mean that - perhaps more so than the past two years - I hope he's got a very, very, very well protected contingency plan |  | |  |

I don’t agree. You should ignore the noise. If you don’t and respond to it, you’ll invariably get it wrong. Yes, you should be aware of what is happening, but that’s a slightly different thing, as far as I’m concerned. Contingency planning for McKenna going? I hope Gamechanger and the CEO have done their work on this because there will come a time when he moves on. As for McKenna’s trajectory, you might well be right and he wants to get to the PL ASAP now, but who knows? I get he’s ambitious and quite frankly he owes us nothing, but I hope he’s been honest with the club and visa versa. We of course are unlikely to know so there’s little point in second guessing it. I hope he is committed to ITFC, but if he’s not, then I hope he moves on ASAP with my best wishes and thanks for what he’s done. The club is much more important than any individual, including him. |  | |  |

Yes, the fact we are having to step back from the Prem rather than moving towards it is a big risk factor in losing McKenna. I'm sure Ashton will have a list of preferred candidates. However, even if we get the one we want, there is always the danger that things will simply not work out. |  |
