If Mckenna goes in the future , he is a good alternative for the club.Done well with limited finances at Pompey. |  | | |  |

It is and it isn’t. There’s going to be a lot of changes in the summer in my view regardless of which division we are in.
The top of the club is bound to be restructured leading to an exit or change in the CEOs role. He recruited McKenna and they clearly have a good working relationship. The manager has been here a long time now and knows he's hardly at the height of his popularity. I suspect he, his management team and some of his better players will be gone too. It’s the perfect time for him.
If Crystal Palace are serious it’s a great, albeit big, step up but he will be gone. There won’t be any fee because if he wants to go they can hardly stop him. Nor should they any more than they should have Morsy. Maybe Spurs, West Ham, Brentford, Brighton ~ there will be plenty of opportunities for him and he will leave with my blessing. Plenty on here won’t agree, but I think he’s done a brilliant job for us.
Hopefully I’m completely wrong as I often am. Let’s just enjoy the next few days and if it comes to play offs, the next few weeks. [Post edited 29 Apr 22:43]

Why do you act like a very very small % speak for the majority of the fanbase.
Even on here. There have been maybe 1 or 2 farely obvious posters with silly km out posts but others just had a whinge.
KM isnt stupid. The moans at times during the season are nothing in comparison to what he would get at a prem club whos expectations will be way way above what he has had here
You will never get a fan base which has 100% manager backing through a season. But you make it out like km goes home every week bemoaning not being supported.
5 years is a long time in management. Especially in the modern game. Hes had and continues to get a good late it's % of constant support.
If he moves it wont because there were a small % of people who voiced their views. It will be because hes ready to move on and do something different and perhaps try to take a club into Europe. If thats a move thats made available to him.
Yes there would be a fee to lose KM. It would be incredibly daft of us not too. | |

Quite a lot of assumptions and leaps there. You could be right of course, but that wouldn’t be quite a breakup of a working set up that would be very out of character for the owners who seem to value patience and consistency. Not to mention they’ll be delighted with how the season’s gone if we go up. I can’t see any changes unless Kieran gets poached. |  |

Uppies and downies on 2 December were about 2 to 1 in favour of retaining him. Something like 30 posters wanted him gone. A tiny sample, but a sample all the same. He mentioned non universal support when the subject was raised.
My post mentioned the extraordinary length of time he has been here and that has to be a big factor but the added element is that the person who recruited him and supported him in the past few years will probably be gone. Why stay with the uncertainty that'll bring when there are bigger, better opportunities out there? If I was in his shoes and succeeded this season, I’d see it as the perfect opportunity for a new challenge. Wouldn’t you?
As for crowd moans, I was at Crystal Palace this season and despite a hammering the support was light years better than ours even if the numbers and facilities aren’t.
As for a fee, all McKenna has to do is say I’m off and there will be no fee to speak of. Just agitate for a move. You cannot keep anyone against their will unless you are in the Russian army. I cannot see what the club could do to stop him, especially given a short close season, potentially no upper management or team management. Let’s face it, when we moved for Burley from Colchester, they made a fuss but got Dixie squat out of it. [Post edited 29 Apr 23:16]

Very. very unlikely that there will be changes at the top if we are promoted - why would we? Ashton is here to stay and if we go up there is no way McKenna will go as he will want the challenge of securing PL survival. There will be a churn of players but I don't see much more than that
People don't really want KM out. There are grumps and whines when we lose a game but generally I see a lot of support for him, especially at awy games | | | |

Kms on a beefy contract he cant just say hes off unless of course the release clause is met which we dont know terms off. But the club itself wouldnt be allowing km to leave mid contract without there being some form compensation with it.
Id be leaving if a prem club came in who would allow me to fight for Europe. Otherwise id stay where I am and look to keep town up.
There is that risk of km leaving and ending up like Potter. Frank etc who moved onto better things only to realise he had it better where they were part of building something.
I dont think ashton will leave btw. But I think he will have someone coming in to keep an eye on him and to ensure we make the most of getting another shot at the prem close succession.
As for palace. Im not surprised it was a good atmosphere. Theyre plodding along as a stable prem side living the life town fans would like to have in a few years.
All I want however is if he does go.. make it quick so we can prep as much as possible. | |

Their support was terrific. When a bloke started on a full back that got taken to the cleaners for a goal, dozens of people told him to shut it. And he did. Imagine that at PR? Hardly.
You don't keep unhappy managers, players or indeed staff in any walk of life.
McKenna has to take the opportunities out there. You only get one career. As for Ashton, he’ll be gone. There will be plenty of clubs after his services. Why? Just look at what he can stick on his CV both from this club and Bristol City who lets face it have hardly progressed since his departure.
Would you allow somebody in to keep an eye on you if you were in his position? I wouldn’t in a million years. | | | |

I know when I used to fo yeah people would tell others to be quiet when yelling stuff.
You dont keep unhappy people no. But you still get money for them.
Ashton used to having people above him it wont be new to him. Might even take some weight off his shoulders.
The end of the day though church. What ever happens we could be a prem club again on sat evening with a new multi million training centre. Cat 1 academy and a shed load of finances to attract different managers/ceos/chairman/staff. At some point the owners do have to question if the right people are in the right places. It might be summer it might be the following one. Who knows.
But who ever or when ever someone leaves. This Is a new ipswich and one that is a very attractive option. | |

I hope we do it FB. I think we will. Thursday was important as McKenna admitted afterwards and how we played was I thought a level up.
I hope you and your family are doing ok and dealing with the tough stuff following your loss. Let’s hope the lads do it for all those blues who have left us in the last year ~ and before. | | | |

I think we will. Seeing how we ended that final 5 minutes I dont think we will let the opportunity slip. One last push.

Dad defo gonna be looking down on saturday, im going to say he was busy tuesday night when clarks shot hit the post etc so hopefully hell pay more attention Saturday and give us a helping hand :) | |

Absolutely not, he's very much from the McCarthy school of football.
Tonda Eckert would be great. Young, charismatic, plays great football, forward thinking and probably given it's his first managerial role, able to pinch without too much comp. Southampton going up would change things however. | | | |

Hope the question doesn't come up but as for Mousinho, he's done pretty well but absolutely at his high water mark there. |  | | |

I think Mousinho has had success since he changed to go direct/long ball, so I don't think he'd be a good fit.
Ashton has a record of appointing managers nobody expects, so if it did happen then it'll probably be someone none of us have heard of..
But to throw a name out there - Robbie Keane (Rory Delap is his asst) he's won titles in Israel and Hungary in his first 2 full seasons in management, I can't admit to knowing anything about his style though |  |

That is usually Ashtons M.O but if you are in the premier league I'm not sure you can take the risk of appointing an inexperienced first time manager.
That league chews up and spits out. |  |

Its hard to say with Mousinho, to be fair to him there's probably an element of him playing the hand he's dealt. Turned Pompey around really, won L1 with more points than we managed under McKenna and has done a very good job to keep them up this season.
He strikes me as an intelligent bloke who knows his football, he looks destined for a very good career in management and whether his style would evolve with different resources its hard to say.
FWIW I can't see him being on our list. We would either give someone their 1st job so Ashton can crow about it in every interview forever more along with Aidy Boothroyd and McKenna, or more likely someone with premier league experience. |  | | |
