…Is an upgrade on Town. Seriously
Take the blue tinted glasses off, this is a side which plays UCL football, dominates their league (up until a few months ago) and has one of the biggest supporter bases in the world. They are far, far bigger than us.
That being said - no, the SFL as a whole is no upgrade on the Championship, granted. But come on. Managing Celtic would be a great pathway to a big PL move really - just look at Ange. I wouldn’t be amazed if it happened. |  | | |  |

I think it might happen and it might benefit both clubs. Something is a bit off at the club at the moment. I think we've become stale and predictable, and I think McKenna would benefit from having a new project where he could freshen things up.
I will always be grateful to McKenna and I think he deserves to be mentioned alongside some club legends with what he achieved to get us to the Prem. However, I won't be sad if he leaves because I can't see us putting a decent run of results together this season. |  | | |

Its a big club no doubt. But the league they play in is naff and the funding they will have is not to dissimilar to the champs. Not sure I would be overly interested in going there? Mind you the NI and Scots have a close relationship. KM has never mentioned if he carries faith that much. So that might be a consideration too.
For me KM is on a good wage with a young family living is a safe location where they wont pick up too many bad habits, with a warm, pleasant climate. Not sure I'd be up for a move, although the seasonal bash at champions league may be a draw. |  | | |

Sorry, I wrote both clubs, when I meant both parties. I think it could be good for McKenna and us. Obviously it's good for Celtic too because he's an excellent coach. | | | |

Can’t argue that Celtic is the larger global brand, but….
Does winning the SPL, Scottish League Cup or their FA Cup really put a manager on anyone’s radar, especially when the only viable opposition has been so far off it for the last few seasons?
Yup, it got Postecoglu a couple of gigs from desperately odd PL owners, but does anyone really take him seriously now?
That Spurs Europa League win conveniently glossed over the the fact that all the teams they beat were so hideously low on quality following the rule change that stopped the CL makeweights from joining in.
Brentford would have walked it without the drama.
Does getting tonked in the CL for x8 games really put anyone in the shop window?
Would overhauling Hearts, who will blow-up like Aberdeen did last season, really be an achievement?
Nah..the water’s still quite lovely here for him if he can get us promoted out of the weakest looking Championship for a decade, certainly far weaker than the one he beautifully navigated two years ago. |  |

You won't be sad if McKenna leaves ?
It benefits Ipswich if he goes ?
Weird positions those. Whoever we replaced McKenna with if he left would be a downgrade. |  |

I've no love for Celtic but last season in the UCL they played 8, Won 3, Drew 3 & Lost 2. So not 8 tonkings. |  |

Not when we were mid table in the Champ though, he also just called out our home crowd. |  |

Also worth noting that Postecoglu wasn’t Spurs first choice that summer either … they had wanted to appoint Arne Slot who was at Feyenoord at the time but balked at the price of his and his backroom staffs release clause. |  |

Maybe a downgrade of the first two plus yrs of McKenna.
Certainly not a downgrade of McKennas last 18 months plus. | | | |

But it isn't. The value of their squad is much lower than ours and go through their team and squad and it's worse.
They are ONLY in the champions league because they play in that shambles of a league.
I don't believe Qarabag, Pafas or Kairat would be good moves for him either!
They have a history and a big fan base so there is that. But Scottish football is a big decline. Their squad is not great and they don't have the spending power of years gone by.
You can go and get champions league football and get battered and straight out of it of course. | |

They have regressed massively since then. Hence Rogers had enough. The money just isn't there to improve and they and Scottish football is going backwards | |

Half the teams in the Championship have more scope for improvement and growth than Celtic, its not just us. Big fanbase, big stadium in a mickey mouse league that nobody wants to watch. Good career move to establish your name but McKenna doesn't need to do that. 2 years of success there doesn't make him more attractive to a Premier League club. | | | |

How on earth would him going be good for us. Weird post tbh - he's the best thing thats happened to us for many many years.
Anyway, he wont' be offski | | | |

Pick up bad habits? | | | |

They participate in the Champions League, it’s true. Scottish football is an irrelevance now. They don’t even let the fans insult each other now. There’s no reason for any serious player or manager to go there. |  |

Celtic play European football every season. I'd suspect thats a big lure to someone like McKenna, and he'd view Celtic as a stepping stone to a bigger Foreign Champions League club too. You're not thinking on anywhere near the same level McKenna probably is. He's done a fab job in his time here and I do honestly thank him for that, but we were always his first stepping stone into management, and what better club to cut your managerial teeth on , than Ipswich Town FC.
A true " Gentleman" of a profesdional football club!

Scottish football is a joke. Only English managerial failures go there to try to resurrect their careers. |  | | |

It would be a surprise if anyone on here said Celtic aren't bigger than us with a straight face. But the main point is that the SPL is a small league well below the championship in stature. And there is no EPL to aspire to. All a bit disingenuous to conveniently skirt around that point. [Post edited 28 Oct 23:25]

Exactly this.
Take a look at this list of Celtic managers since the 60s and tell me how many of them have gone on to bigger and better things?
Jock Stein
Billy McNeil
David Hay
Billy McNeil (2)
Liam Brady
Lou Macari
Tommy Burns
Wim Jansen
Jo Venglos
John Barnes
Martin O'Neill
Gordon Strachan
Tony Mowbray
Neil Lennon
Ronny Delia
Brendan Rodgers
Neil Lennon (2)
Ange Postecoglu
Brendan Rodgers (2)
It's not a pathway to a better job in the PL, only Ange has managed to do that to an extent. It is a dead end job for ex-players, ambitious no-hopers and managers who have burnt other bridges and are on the downgrade.
If KM takes the Celtic job, he's a fool and will plummet in my perception of him |  | | |

in terms of career development, its a sideways step, even if Celtic are in the UCL, win titles, have lots of fans and are a "big club", fwiw if they were that attractive a proposition theyd have their pick of manager from any of the top leagues, they wouldnt be looking to a championship manager of a team sitting midtable, I mean the names theyre chucking around for the Wolves manager, including one Brendan Rogers, are managers with more trophy wins than McKenna has got, why arent Celtic looking at them ?
Postecoglou is the only manager theyve had in recent times, maybe even ever I cant be bothered to check that deeply, who went from Celtic to one of the big six in the EPL, and how is Postecoglou getting on thesedays...ah thats right he just got sacked at Forest, after getting sacked at Spurs, and has burnt all the credit he had for while at least.
but sure go up there, have fun winning stuff easily with your big crowds,clearly no-one in the EPL actually cares or rates success up there that much, maybe if thats all you want out of managerial career its perfect.
but it wont lead to managing Man Utd, which is something McKenna has stated he wants to do, the only path to that is through success in the EPL, that neednt be with Ipswich either, but it wont be with Celtic. | | | |
