I hadn't considered, that I actually think would be a great fit-
Graham Potter.
He's currently managing Sweden at the World Cup and really we need our new man in situ ASAP, so I suspect that sadly rules him out somewhat.
Here's my immediate list of yes and no's - just to wind some of you up.
YES
Graham Potter
Ange Postecoglu
Brendan Rodgers
Liam Rosenior
Sean Dyche
Tony Mowbray
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer
Thomas Frank (also on a sabbatical, sadly)
Gareth Southgate (not sure why one of the national teams most successful ever managers would want to come to Ipswich, but I have seen his name mentioned)
NO
Gary O'Neil
Scott Parker
Steven Gerrard
Rob Edwards
Steve Cooper
Phillipe Clement
Danny Rohl
Carlos Corberan

McKenna will be Celtic's manager next year, O'neill is in his 70s and has a one year deal. He's having a year to chill out before going into Parkhead |
I’d love that, but I think he’s beyond what Celtic can attract atm. | | | |

Could we get Nuno from West Ham somehow ? |  | | |

He's a very good coach,
Level headed
Good organiser,
And spots and knows young talent,
In the Thomas frank sabbatical is it a smokescreen,
Funny he's come out with this and it would have considered with when Kieran may have told the club his decision,
Just a thought,
Can't wait for the itfc was just to good an opportunity to turn down, |
My feeling is similar to yours. That Frank is already done.
Or Carsley ticks a lot of Ashton type boxes. |  |

Never heard of him, sounds like he’s from Belgium- any good? |
Fulchester Rovers second string coach. |  |
| We have no village green, or a shop.
It's very, very quiet.
I can walk to the pub. |

100% but much less than a year I’d think.., he’ll be in situ by Xmas.
Our ‘well protected’ will be we’ve replaced him, and he has the right to work in a league which isn’t direct competition.
We’ll get minimal comp, if any at all…, but Ashton shafted McKenna so fair play. Will be interesting to see how it go’s - I wouldn’t want the Jamestown Analytics smoke from Brighton at Hearts, and Rangers are improving. He has to win every game. | | | |

Glad Bredan Rodgers made your list as he plays good football, has won things and has managed in Premier league. He can also attract decent players too. | | | |

He's a top manager, although I have discovered this evening that he's over in the middle east managing a side currently... | | | |

That would be quite a decent list of managers if we were still in the Championship |  |

I would say the NO list is a lot better than the YES list.
And I'm not really keen on the NO list. | | | |

They will have had to pay us the £8m to make that happen. Can’t see that money coming from the SPL.
In the NFL contracts like this don’t chime if someone retires. Doubt that’s the case here but we’ll be die compensation for the 2 remaining years minimally. | | | |

West Ham was a disaster. I have nothing against him, just think he isn't as good as some think. Can't argue with the Brighton bit, but since..... |
Agree that he was a failure at both Chelsea and west ham, but no manager has done any better at either club since! |  | | |

Also Brighton are more a sum of their parts than just the manager, with their ownership and analytics, his work since hasn't been great and only managed to scrape into the WC via play offs and they only got into the Play offs due to the Nations League, which isn't great given the players at his disposal. |  |

Corberan is currently managing his boyhood club and narrowly missed out on Europe so don't think he's a realistic option |  | | |

I feel like Ole could well be the one as he’s had experience in the Champ and then progressed to Prem and European sides.
That said, part of me hopes we bring in an old head like Dyche to just keep us up for a season, giving time for Frank to finish his sabbatical and then come in. Wishful thinking I imagine though. |  |

Potter not long signed a contract to 2030, so unlikely even with the time aspect. Maybe if Sweden lose 5-0 in all their group games there might be a chance! |  | | |

Potter's first game in charge of Sweden was 15 November 2025. He did well to get them to the WC given what his predecessor had achieved (or not).
It's his work at Ostersund that meant he was the thinking person's choice on here before McKenna was even a glint in Ashton's eye.
However Potter's comments and actions as mentioned by Phil suggest that he's a long shot at best currently. |  | | |

I'd love Frank, but he has said he's on a sabbatical, sadly.
I left Carsley off the list, just as I didn't consider him a serious candidate- what is it about him that particularly excites you? |
But this job has come out of nowhere! Could he be tempted? Id like to think so, stability, Prem already, patient fanbase, new training ground, year on year ground improvements, full house of passionate fans, built on history, but also now looking forward, global reach via Ed and Fab. I've just sold it to him! | | | |

He wasn’t tempted by Fulham, nor Crystal Palace - both significantly more appealing jobs than Ipswich Town currently! | | | |

Surely worth speaking to Frank to see if a project here might persuade him to come . It didn't work out at Spurs but there is a similarity between Brentford and Town that might interest him . | | | |

Blimey, wasn't expecting anyone to say that! - clearly you have a wealth of footballing knowledge and intelligence. |
No, just common sense. |  |

I would take him over some of the names that get banded about.
Come back Kieran. Please. |

Managing in a poorer league with a handful of competitive games a season? It's a step down and beneath McKenna's intelligence and desire to improve.
Much more alluring jobs around than Celtic. [Post edited 11 Jun 12:09]
