Happy four years of Kieran McKenna on 11:20 - Dec 16 by Keno
I thought you meant Sitters until the Dignified, classy and intelligent bit
I’d definitely worked it out by “exciting”. I’m not even sure about the “bloke” bit. You never know what’s under the bonnet these days, and there’s nothing wrong with that

Unfortunately that's not how football is though. Otherwise Eddie Howe would have never got sacked by Bournemouth (other examples are available).
Of course at the time we'd have taken that. McKenna has almost punished himself for getting the 23/24 team up as expectations have increased from that starting point 4 years ago.
If he's here another 4 years that means things would have gone well so lets hope so!
Point of order, Eddie Howe wasn't sacked by Bournemouth, he resigned.
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.

I’m half way through the first one and it’s a fascinating watch in hindsight. It’s all there from this first interview. Obviously the technical coaching ability is important, and we can’t gauge that from an interview, but his mindset and general outlook was streets ahead of some of the other managers we’ve suffered even on his first day in through the door.
As a person, we couldn’t have someone more suited to the club. His approach isn’t just relevant for football, he’s essentially a life/performance coach. I’ve had to endure a lot worst from supposed specialists during my career. It’s a fair point that this team should be performing better than they are, but that’s also a whole coaching team effort.

It's so interesting looking back on it isn't it!
I remember watching both of these at the time and the thing that struck me was the quiet confidence. The way he was with Marcus Nash, the way he dealt with the media, the way he carried himself. He was ready.
Another detail - when he first came down they stayed at the Salthouse and he said he had been holed up for days watching our games on video making notes.
He meant business and he still does.
'We've got super Kieran McKenna...'
