Having a read through the Fulham Forums. They think he'd be a step backwards. |  |

Do you reckon managers look and considering those things when weighing up a job?
I'd imagine KM would back himself regardless but that must affect the decision with negativity already there. |  | | |

No idea. I'd certainly have a butchers if it was me.
Think it's mad they don't want him. | |

You are right Donnie. I’d have a shufty at such things too. Information is power and all that cliche stuff. |  | | |

Harsh but from their perspective McKenna hardly had a good Premiership season one home win in 19 games. This season I believe McKenna will be at Ipswich and we will see if given the right backing if he can keep us up or better. |  | | |

Is it still called "One 'F' in Fulham"?
My favourite fanzine name ever. |  |

Understandably. On paper his Premier League record is horrific and they see our spend that Summer and think its bad.
Obviously those of us who follow Ipswich know there is more to it than that. I think if he got the job he would do really well there. |  |

I would be the same in their boat.
After our last season in the PL, I'm not convinced about this season if he stays.
I'm not saying I want him to leave, I just think there are question marks. |  |

I can understand why some of their fans would have that view.
I’m sure if we were a established Premiership club and had just lost our manager and then saw the owners were considering employing somebody who had experienced great success as a Championship manager but very limited experience at Premiership level, many of our fans would be questioning it as well. | | | |

It won't take much to go wrong for Fulham to find themselves in a relegation battle, so I could understand if they wanted someone with a more proven track record. | | | |
| Fulham fans really not keen on McKenna on 11:44 - Jun 3 with 2570 views | blueoutlook |
It probably is a step back to them. They get it wrong with this appointment and they will be struggling down there with us. They aren’t far from that position. And let’s face it our Premiership season was pretty woeful considering what we spent . 1 home win all season isn’t something McKenna can be proud of. It also doesn’t do his credentials that much good either. So I can see why it’s a step backwards. |  | | |

Nine straight home defeats last time out … hardly good.
BUT KM is highly regarded in the footballing world. The Fulham board will know that. With a better squad of players, KM will I suspect do well. | | | |

He can coach to a high level. Suspect it’s all about talent ID for him.
He’s not very good, doesn’t have the networks, and his/our legacy miracle and Paul Cooks legacy players meant we could make a lot mistakes and still do well in the EFL, and this level though, that gets you a 22 point season on a good day.
I think when he looks back, he’ll regret using that summer when his stock was so high, and his ability at this level was unknown, to ask for too much from Brighton.
When a newly promoted EFL team pays £5 million a year, and hundreds of millions in squad building, and Brighton said no, that was the red flag.
They were right. He should have gone to a club that is elite at talent ID.
I think he’ll go. I’m less convinced it will work for him. Bournemouth, Brentford, Brighton all do the thing he’s weak at better than any clubs in the division…, Fulham less so.
If you’re Fulham fan, you’d rightly be looking at 22 points, money spent, way off Coventry, and our legacy season (which was a higher bar if you look at Leeds) and one point above Millwall and have done serious concerns.
Objectively, and there’s none of that on here, he couldn’t do much more and 3 promotions in 4 seasons is breathtakingly good, but when tested, with resources, the cracks have been huge, both true.
Under the intense pressure at the highest level, he was very poor, West Ham would beat us 3 or 4 and that’s not great when we’ve spent so much.., and coached us for almost 5 years.
Will be great to see how he does, wish him all the best, he ran through walls, the important thing is few have worked had hard and added as much as McKenna.
Maybe he’ll take Sammie, Ogbenne, Walle, McAteer, Johnson, Muric, Jens, Akpom …, Jesus…, I better stop, if Khan reads this he’s going nowhere. | | | |

I don’t … but I do think it affects (to a small extent) the boards decision about whether to appoint a manager.
They wouldn’t want a manager who the fans turn against instantly. |  | | |

Mainly because imo for those outside of supporting town hes had 1 excellent in 4
League 1 promotion was expected and he got it
Champ promotion was incredible
Prem season was a shambles but thats top to bottom at the club that season
Return to prem expected due to parachute payments
Transfers some excellent. Some solid not spectacular. Some really really poor and aome baffling ones.
Football style is a plus. But i can see neautrals esp last season not being impressed woth is.. there never usually were when we were on tv etc |  |

That is complete nonsense.
Have you forgotten how poorly we had done in League one before he took us up? Even this season, just 26% of relegated teams go back up at the first time of asking. Yes, it might have been tough at times but you cannot downplay that 'because it was expected'
Palace, Brighton, Man U, Chelsea, Fulham etc haven't come looking in the past because of '1 excellent season' [Post edited 4 Jun 16:01]

You've managed to miss all the vital context and just look at it incredibly simplistically, while also being incredibly wrong. Bravo. |  | | |

Respectfully, to those Fulham fans, I think they got lucky with Silva, considering the size of their club. they have been punching above their weight in managerial terms and they are very unlikely to be improving on Silva.
If I were them, I'd be gutted to see Silva go because they are all but guaranteed a backwards step (at least initially) in terms of their manager. Thomas Frank maybe an appointment that would keep them where they are, but very few other managers would be a forward step. KM would be an initial backwards step but could long term be a forwards one (who knows?!). But don't tell them that, tell them KM is rubbish and they should let us keep him. |  |

Didnt say anything about clubs it was about outside supporter views.
The league 1 side KM took on and the spend he further had was night and day compared to the others. Helped of course too by some excellent PC signings.
It was lovely to get promoted but was 100% an expectation from everyone so much so even oleary mentioned it at the time when KM took on the job.
Clubs however to reply to your club comment will base their view on kms age. Style he plays. How that could be reflected by top level signings. How he acts. How he coaches etc.
Supporters. Esp those of prem clubs will simply want a manager who can achieve what they want and want someone who has already done it.
Town fans for example would want a manager who has kept a club in the prem. If thsy havent done that i doubt theyd be confident in who ever was linked. [Post edited 4 Jun 16:52]

Most supporters wont look into the vital context you speak of.
How many town fans spend in depth time looking at fine contexts when we were looking for a new manager
You can name potter as a replacement for km for exampke and alot of people say nah look at his time at chelsea. No context of what he would bring as a manager
Btw im.not saying potter just using as example.
You can say im wrong about my first reply.. but just ask why thosw fulham fans dont want KM and i bet it will fall inline with my thoughts. | |
