He must clearly regret not taking the Brighton job when he had that chance , since then his stock has decreased a lot based on how poor we were in the Premier league and again how inconsistent we are in the championship despite having huge financial backing. Had he left for Brighton he would now be an established PL manager and in reality whoever we replaced him with couldn’t have don’t any worse than what he did. If he stays with us till the summer and doesn’t get us promoted or even in the top 6 then his stock will be at an all time low and the PL will be a distant memory for him , if he goes to Celtic now he will likely have success and in a few years could easily end up back in the PL having had the experience managing a big club. I’m on the fence with it , if he goes I would be fine with it as he would be leaving us at a low point but if he stays I’ll also be ok . If we don’t make top 6 we may well move him on in the summer anyway so it is a very big decision for him to make should he have the opportunity to make it . |  | | |  |

What makes you think he would have been a success at Brighton?
What would you consider success at Celtic? Winning the league is a bare minimum and by no means increases the manager's value. |  |

Looking at the Celtic fans forum, they have somehow got this impression of McKenna from Ipswich fans.
‘I had a look on some Ipswich forums and tbh... Highly concerning.
Same complaints weve had about Rodgers the past few months;
Inflexible. Refusing to change formations. Picking favourites. Woeful transfer record etc etc.
Then a very worrying narrative that he ripped up the squad, bought a load of bang average players who then digressed under him.
Yes football fans are fickle. And English football fans believe that the sun rises and sets on a manager by his time in the EPL.’ |  |

Ok. That’s one view I suppose. It’s all supposition of course; nobody could know how he feels without speaking to him or how things would have worked out differently. [Post edited 29 Oct 8:41]

A low point... like 3 points off the play off places, with a game in hand, in October?
People remember where we were when he took over right? | | | |

Hi sorry this argument is flawed , stop living in the past it’s here and now that it’s important , the facts are we have spent circa £150 M and have a weaker team than the last time we were in this league ! All of the key players from that success have been allowed to leave and we now have a group of individuals and not a team. There is of course the chance that McKenna turns this around and we finish the season strong which is why I wouldn’t be against him staying but if he were to leave I also wouldn’t be shedding any tears. | | | |

So you suggest KM is a failure, but just to cover your back, you’re happy for him to stay? | |

I said nobody could have done worse than last season not this season (which is also poor) , if I would have been the manager in the PL the outcome would have still been the same as it was with KMk a very underwhelming relegation with little fight ! | | | |

Where have I said his a failure ? His tenure has to come to an end at some point , managers don’t stay at Clubs like they used to for years and years , he is highly likely to leave one way or another within the next 12 months, if we go up a bigger side might go for him and this time he would definitely take it , if we don’t go up we may move on , either way his tenure will end at some point in the not to distant future and I personally feel now wouldn’t be a bad time , he hasn’t got us performing to the required levels and I feel if another manager came in with the talent at our disposal which is crazy good for this level that they could do a good job ! If he goes I will remember his time with lots of fondness as has brought us some amazing times which we didn’t expect a few years ago ! | | | |

Did you skip the Evans years? That was the low point. |  | | |

I sat through the Evans era and every era since 1990 however as already stated I don’t live in the past and live for today and the future , because we had a terrible era in the past isn’t how we need to judge our current situation , finances , investment and expectations are chalk and cheese between now and then ! | | | |

KM has showed a lot of loyalty to the club over the past couple of years, I think it's only right that as a fanbase we return the favour. I still think anti-KM sentiment is consigned to the fringes on the whole - hopefully that will continue. Given the success rate of managerial appointments (average tenure 11 months?) it seems mad to me that clubs sack manages who have had success - look at Norwich | | | |

So in your eyes we must be top 2 immediately and get promoted this season or else?
That's not how football works.
Money isn't everything.
And besides, might be sensible to give him the time to try and achieve your demands mightn't it? | | | |

I am not asking for him to leave , I have stated that he may well view this as the time and opportunity to leave for and if he does I would wish him well but wouldn’t be gutted like some would be . It’s November when we next play and we haven’t looked like a top 2 side nor a top 6 side at any stage this season , we have no identity and he doesn’t know what his best team is which is the second season where this has been the case .
If he doesn’t leave then I’m more than happy to give him until the end of this season he has earnt that time IMO | | | |

"How poor we were in the Premier League"...
In comparison to which other club that came up from L1?
IMO, The Prem' argument is a little flawed.. It was a real tough gig for us as a club.
Bitter pill to swallow, last season. But not entirely unexpected, by a lot of people.
I get some of your other points.. KM would have been here 4 years in Dec/January. That's quite a stint in today's game...
The time for KM moving on, is drawing closer, no matter which way we dress it up.
Not sure if now is the right time, though...
I'll be more concerned next Summer. | | | |

So you e watched all that football, yet you appear to have learnt nothing from the experience, not even the fact that promotion only happens at the end of the season, not a quarter of the way through. |  | | |

You know for sure he regrets as you have spoken to him and know what he wants, right? If his stock has fallen why would Celtic be interested?
His stock will not fall if he stays - maybe its time you find another club to follow | | | |
