He did the full interview and presentation, was very close to agreeing terms
Wanted the Arsenal under 18s coach to join him
Brentford nicked his ideas on the coaching side when giving Andrews it |  | | |  |

So you know this happened and yet the football press and those who are well engaged with the club know nothing of it.
Why bother? |  | | |

Well I asked google and got this AI response:
"Yes, Kieran McKenna was reportedly interviewed by Brentford as a potential candidate to replace Thomas Frank, according to recent reports."
AI was of course a "poor choice of words in 1954". [Post edited 12 Jul 12:26]

I then asked if McKenna was close to accepting the job, as the OP suggested, and got this response:
"No, Kieran McKenna was not close to accepting the Brentford job. While he was linked with the position after Thomas Frank's departure for Tottenham, Brentford ultimately appointed Keith Andrews as their new manager. Andrews, who was previously the club's set-piece coach, was given the job after Frank left for Tottenham. "
Lest there is any doubt,I am an AI sceptic. | | | |

If Brentford really wanted KM they would have gone out and got him, they didn’t. |  |

Even if he interviewed which I don't believe he did this bit is absolute drivel:
"Brentford nicked his ideas on the coaching side when giving Andrews the job". It's so unbelievably daft.
"Keith we want you for the job but we interviewed someone else who had better ideas then you so we are implementing his plan but giving you the job. Please work with these ideas we have jotted down".
Also it wasnt really hidden about him interviewing for a couple of other jobs last season. | |

I would be quite surprised had KMck not spoken to them since it was widely reported that they wanted to speak with him. It keeps things professional even if in the end he explained his reasons for not formally pursuing the role. May be they had a chat about mutual admiration for what he’s done and what they’ve done to establish Brentford in the PL!! | |

Totally incorrect.
My oldest mate has numerous contacts at Brentford. Brentford for many years have had a fan representative on their Board of Directors, my mate was that representative for 3 years. Now he doesn't know everything going on there, but 100% he knows that KM was never interviewed for the Brentford coach role
Nobody outside of Brentford was
Brentford model is they recruit from within, same when Smith left and Frank got the role. Same then media full of shlt about person A & B being interviewed and nobody was.
If Frank had taken the entire coaching team then that might have been different.
The Brentford model is different from most clubs. Brentford don't have a manager they have a coach - Frank was always officially the coach at Brentford, they never ever called him a manager. That's because that individual doesn't have a say on which players the club buys. Yes, he will say ie 'I need a RB' but its Brentford's data analysing/ recruiting team who identifies/buys a player and he is given to the coach to coach. A model that has made Brentford very successful.
Brentford know a lot of managers wouldn't work under that model, they would want a final say. Which is why Brentford prefer to recruit from within as their coaching staff already work under that model. |  | | |

“PP”?
PowerPoint?
Polypropylene?
Peppa Pig? |
Given how quickly the OP's BS has been debunked by Phil, I'd go with 'piss poor' | |

Can you ask your mate if they’re signing Omari or whether I wasted a tenner on Churchman’s “insider knowledge”? | | | |

Not one word of truth in this. Neither party was interested. |  | | |
