sigh, here we go again...
"Andoni Iraola will leave Bournemouth when his contract expires at the end of this season.
The south coast club are already underway with the search for Iraola’s replacement. Ipswich Town’s Kieran McKenna features highly in their thinking but other candidates are under consideration. Ipswich, who are challenging for Premier League promotion, want to keep McKenna but the Northern Irishman’s contract at Portman Road does contain a release clause."

*If* we go up I would expect McKenna to fancy one more crack with ITFC knowing that this time we have infrastructure and squad base far more suited to making a fist of it, as long as we make the right decisions of course. |
I've thought for a while, if we go up McKenna would leave.
He'll want another go at the PL, but from a position of relative strength and not as favourites to go down.
2 relegations out of 2 isn't a great look on your CV, no matter how much of an underdog you are.
Palace's recruitment (or lack of) would put him off I'd imagine, but I do wonder if Brighton's job will come up again this summer. [Post edited 14 Apr 15:01]

This is the one Club I think KM would seriously consider. |
Can't see it at all. Bournemouth are at their ceiling. Small club. |  |

I think Vincent Kompany's Bayern success has put paid to the myth that a relegation makes you a bad manager.
Everyone knows the resource gap is humongous and even the best can't always get over that gap. [Post edited 14 Apr 15:03]

I did say 2 relegations...
And Kompany did have the 'Pep factor' and was a significant name as a player which helps those jobs come up too. | | | |

Idk tho maybe KM saw last time we went to the prem he was given Cajuste and Phillips in midfield and Al Hamadi coming on to save the day and doesn't want to face a similar fate next year and wants to join a stable club.
I do see your point though. |
Oh absolutely. We’ll need to recruit better this time, and Sunderland have set a benchmark that you can recruit well from abroad and get it right. |  |

They are very well run, recruitment has been generally very, very good for 3 or 4 years now. Its a stable club, there's a lot to like about it, really an established club at PL now.
On the other hand they don't have great crowds, because of the ground but it's certainly a club that are well ahead of us with a base for McKenna to build from which is better than here currently.
Seen a few comments, saying they've reached their ceiling, but in reality are we going to surpass what they have achieved on a consistent basis in reality? All of the bottom half clubs in reality are 1 bad managerial appointment or transfer window away from relegation. |  | | |

What with PL money the traditional concept of big/small clubs has died.
Even if Spurs go down they wouldn’t be able to complete financially with Bournemouth if they both wanted the same player. [Post edited 14 Apr 15:17]

I had the opportunity to interview her last year for work, but I couldn't do it as meant going to Liverpool when I was needed at home.
A lucky escape for my missus. | | | |

Our potential is much higher, we just need to get recruitment sorted | |

Your mrs does sound a very lucky lady indeed.
Emilia on the other hand has been trying to get you to interview her for the last year is what I've heard, but you've been uncontactable! | | | |

As much as I want KM to stay for another crack at the PL, if he decides to go then so be it. If he leaves, he should leave with the clubs blessing and he should get a warm return when next here.
But if he leaves, hopefully whoever is appointed next will outdo KMs achievements here. | | | |

is it though?
If we go up, we might get top 10 for a couple of season if you do well and then get cherry picked and start again much like Bournemouth. Even if we got a mega investor it doesn't make a huge difference anymore. We aren't going to become a regular top 8 team, even if we done really well, we will bounce around. | | | |

I think you'd be right under any previous ownership - however our current ownership group is much more ambitious than that and has the cash to back it.
Every time we've risen to the top of English football, we've come apart because we've had to invest money off the pitch, or we've lost integral players to larger clubs- under gamechanger we've got the best opportunity the club has ever had to break that cycle, if we can establish ourselves in the Premier League. | | | |

Established PL club.
Ambitious club.
Has better players.
Established PL infrastructure.
Bigger budget. | | | |

McKenna will never have it as good as has it here.
Hopefully he’ll be PL manager with Town next season. A brand new training ground to attract better players. Money to spend and most importantly loved by the supporters. |  | | |

i can't see it mate. If we done well we would ultimately become a Palace, might have a few good seasons then revert to battling when rebuilding. Sort of become a nothing club in the prem.
Don't get me wrong that would be ok, but realistically, we wouldn't be a regular in europe, look at West Ham, Everton, much bigger clubs than us and they've bounced around, the prem easts you alive. | | | |

Yeah Iraola’s departure everywhere now.
Going to be a big old merry go round of managers this summer. |
Most of the Prem *could* change, but even if half of these do, it’ll be one hell of a merry go round this summer…
Arsenal
Man City
Man Utd
Liverpool
Chelsea
Brighton
Bournemouth
Fulham
Palace
Newcastle
Forest
Spurs |  |

Personally, I could see him jumping for a bigger and established club, not just the Tottenham or Man Utd level, but even a Leeds or Newcastle. I think, whoever, they would need to be a club that could level up and not, as I think Bournemouth are, pushing at their realistic max with current infrastructure and income.
I also think he would be keen to stay at Ipswich should we go up, and test the new training ground he had a hand in designing. He is a coaching manager and the new facilities are made for his techniques and approaches, and I would be surprised if he didn't want to work in it all once it stops being a building site.
But I have no inside knowledge at all! |  | | |

Appreciate it's not in your scope of view, but the financials of Ipswich Town have the potential to dwarf Palace and we're certainly not running an operation anything like Palace have done to gain their success!
More teams than ever qualify for Europe, mate-
If we can keep McKenna and stay in the division for 3 seasons, there's no way we're not pushing into those top 8 spots that regularly get European football.
Don't let the previous relegation fool you, our owners have huge ambition and we have potential that dwarfs the likes of Bournemouth. | | | |

Bournemouth will always be a small club. No amount of money is changing that. And where’s the upside for McKenna in going there? He’d have to crack the top six or win a trophy to be a success there, neither of which seems remotely likely. | |
