Has he lost his mojo. We are predictable and lack winners and characters all over the park. O'Shea has became captain by default because nobody else talks or encourages his fellow players only Chaplin gets close and he doesn't start. I'm not sure I trust McKenna to bring in the players to make a difference. Last seasons recruitment on the whole was poor and after spending a hundred and thirty millon one home win all season was diabolical.
Look at it with rosey coloured glasses first two yrs were absolutely amazing 👏 but the last fourteen months have been poor putting it mildly. The owners can't be to impressed in our free fall I imagine any club would be looking and wondering if their manager had McKennas results.

Would probably cost somewhere near ÂŁ20m to sack him. (far to early for that)

I agree. The players we signed were fantastic for the clubs we brought them from, so the system has to be questioned to a degree.

Don't you think our data driven leadership and owners are fully aware of this?
I imagine lots of 'serious conversations' happen all the time.
What would you like? Kieran to have a public flogging?

It's 106 miles to Portman Road, we've got a full tank of gas, half a round of Port Salut, it's dark... and we're wearing blue tinted sunglasses.

No, of course not. But be held accoutable and be replaced if the results dont pick up by Nov/Dec. The credit he had will have run out if there is not clear improvements by then.

Happy to be corrected, but I think I read somewhere that’s 4 wins in the last 41 league games. Not a great look for us.

Nowhere near that much. A large chunk of his salary is performance based so I doubt it would cost more than £5m, but as you say it’s still too early for that, just.

I think you'd do well to listen to Kieran's words, when he recently stated that they can't allow that kind of negative narrative to be taken seriously - this is very much a new group from last years and should be treated as such.

Unfortunately he is going to be stubborn and sign players that he knows will listen to him and play the mckenna way much to the detriment of the club going forward . Do I think mckenna will take us up this season ?. Im having my doubts..if he took us up..do i think he will do a lot better than last season..no .!! For those reasons I think a different manager..preferably, continental, with a more refreshing set of style of plat,and a different type of player brought in with more flair and More licence to go forward. We are stuck in a rut now with mckenna..if in nxt 5 games to ten games, we still play the same dross ..he has to go ...end of rant

However, much KM doesn’t want to talk about it, it’s a fact. If we want to focus on this season that’s 3 games we’ve not won and haven’t done enough in any of the matches to deserve to take all 3 points. Or does he not want us to discuss that either?

Just to confirm, with one of those games to play before the transfer window even shuts, regardless of results, if the style of play doesn't change in 5-10 games you're giving McKenna his P45?

I am firmly in the pro KMc camp and think Ashton has done overall a good job. But you didn't rate David McGoldrick so now, so it just shows how we have our faults and weaknesses.

Grow up…..it’s not just 3 games though is it and this was my initial point. Quite honestly, we’ve played poorly for quite some time not just this season. I really don’t think KM knows how to change it and that’s where the problem lies.

HAHA, oh man, I actually do love how often this conversation is reignited.

I rated his natural ability as a footballer, sublime.
I questioned why everyone had such a hard on for him when his actual output was very poor, nowhere near what you'd expect for the star man and one of the highest paid players at the club.

I understand, he played the game beautifully, but yeah, he never recaptured that early form, he was always injured and his open play goalscoring was horrendous all bar a purple patch.

BUT I DIGRESS.

Lack of captains on the pitch is an issue. Leif is deemed one now and he is pretty quiet.
