and the same with whichever team goes up this year as it has been with burnley, leeds and sunderland this year.
it's the modern game unfortunately |
Do you have to quite so relentlessly miss the point, we signed most of them when we were IN the Premier League, that’s the difference. |  |

£200 million spent. 4 wins in 42 games, promoted sides this season beating his record in TWO home games.
Cant even create against fourth division reserve sides.
I suspect you’re 100% right in the short term, and quite right, but he’s already failed building the team last summer, that’s finished, he had 12 months with them, and many players massively regressed.
You forget. The legacy leadership group, he didn’t bring ANY of Chaplin, Morsy, Burns, Burgess, Wolf, to the club.
He’s never done this, and this summer like last summer, pure panic.
We have half the squad for three positions, and no CDMs left backs or strikers.
I suspect you’ll be on the wrong side of this long term.
Even if it clicks…., what do we do? Play out WBA defence in the premier league?
Seriously? What’s your plan?
Another 15 signings???
No plan, no vision, no strategy - NONE
That’s not ok McKenna exclusively, it’s mostly Ashton, but McKenna made his bed, when he spent a summer talking to Brighton, to leverage a champions league contract.
If you think this is what an elite champions league manager looks like…, you’re deluded. Beyond belief!
And THAT is what McKenna is laid, and says he is.
He never was. And certainly won’t be at any point in this contract term. Or any other if we’re honest.
Every problem I’m building a team isn’t a coaching issue, he doesn’t get that, it’s been obvious for over a year.
You just attached your ego to him though.
Schoolboy error - it’s not as if he’s attached, Palace and Brighton…, he agreed terms with BOTH.
Time to look in the mirror…, and process whatever the outcome this season, you were wrong, he wasn’t as good as you told yourself.
New owners will have less patience than ones wanting continuity for a sale.
He doesn’t warrant endless patience, as brilliant as 23/24 was…., or George would still be manager. |
Sacking George turned out so well though didn’t it. |  | | |

57 down votes after the results we have had in last 9 months and the performances too, says it all |
Says it all about what or whom? |  |
| Distortion becomes somehow pure in its wildness. |

strange comment. you said "He’s right about somethings though IMO. We would have to have another massive turnover if we got promoted".
i asked you how you could do that without a massive turnover, given no other team's managed to do that and stay up?
you can't buy prem quality in the championship, and you can't get sure things when you're first promoted, you have to take risks, some will pay off (eg omari, delap), some won't (eg phillips, godfrey). no team will get 100% correct and will need another massive turnover | |

If real supporters are really this quick to turn he will probably decide to walk and say thanks for the good times before any deep Ipswich Plage starts. We are essentially embarking on a complete break with the past, not surgical, a bit messy, but nothing has changed, we’ve been relegated and we have one of if not the best young coaches in football certainly outside the PL. he’s also got a cv demonstrating he’s built teams and got promotions and improved young and older players. I vote KMck for the new boss. | |

How about all the new players get ten games before we start vining the coaches. Because when you sack the manager the whole set up goes too. |  |

-87 to the OP probably gives the flavour of where most are at.
Why at ITFC don't we just be a little different and support our manager who won two back to back promotions?
I'd wouldn't bother me if he stayed and we actually went up in May 27 which at least would give us longer to improve our International scouting network to premier league standard. |  | | |

I freely admit I have my concerns right now. Four matches in no wins, one goal from open play.
Yes I do expect McKenna to sort it out and do the job that he's being paid a lot of money to do.
However, our turnover of playing staff has been huge, the e loss of one of my all-time favourite players in Sam Morsy was devastating.
Changing the manager will throw us further into chaos in my opinion. Yes you're welcome to an opinion (no problem if it differs to mine!) but I think we need to stay calm right now.
Keep cheering the team on and stay passionate as I know you will. [Post edited 1 Sep 11:14]

I’m not talking about getting them in the Champ as such (although I think this year has been better on paper as a window now). I’m talking about how bad lasts summer was and having to almost throw good money after bad when you look at some of the signings, Muric/Palmer, Ogbene/McAteer. Phiologene and Clarke struggling for big fees.
Even Greaves as an example, was 18M, you’ll never get that kind of fee for him if you go up to sell him back down to a higher end champ club. I’d also argue no one in Europe will pay 20 odd million for a center half that isn’t semi decent international or played well in a top league.
However, would you be super comfortable with him starting for you in the PL? I’m not so sure and he’s obviously on a long term deal. Whereas the a team like Sunderland went from an average squad to one that can clearly compete, as I thought they would.
We will be paying for summer window 2024 for quite a while. That said if we get back up (not sure we should be talking about that right now) we would have to just make use loaning a fair few out and try a different approach again to try and be a more robust team.
There is probably 5-6 I’d say that would have a chance to be in a PL set up from our current crop. [Post edited 31 Aug 16:28]

We have already made some serious profit on the 2024 Summer window with Delap and Hutchison. |  |

Also, why does he "have to go for" you? I'm surprised he knows you exist.
Did you look at his wife funny, spill his pint or something? |  |
