Not sure this has been touched on in other posts. But he’s been in charge at Strasbourg for 6 months and jumping ship because a better opportunity has arisen for him. Not a good trait, and although we want him to succeed his track record suggests if he does and a bigger club comes calling he will not hesitate to do the same again.

Correct. But I accept the reality not much loyalty in life/football.
McKenna had opportunities to go to a ‘bigger’ club 2 years ago and he stayed. So there is still loyalty in football - just hard to find. |
Loyalty or a hefty salary increase that his suitors were unprepared to match? | | | |

McKenna was quite happy to jump ship more than once here as soon as Prem teams came knocking. He chose money over going.
Did you slate him for that? |  |

“His track record”?
His managerial career so far is 3 clubs, the first two of which sacked him, so I don’t quite understand this questioning of his loyalty. Didn’t George Burley leave Colchester for a better opportunity higher up the league? His tenure wasn’t too bad, was it? |  |

I assume you work, supposing another company offered to double your wages you'd go right?
If he did move on again it would mean he's done a good job so don't think there's too much to worry about here. | |

Yeah, I’m less concerned about loyalty- more concerned we’ve appointed a manager who has had a fair crack of the whip, but never completed a whole season 😂 |  | | |

So what you're saying is Ashton was wrong to target any mgr currently in a job and he should have focused purely on those mgrs unemployed, because any mgr in a job would be disloyal to join Town? |  | | |

You do understand that the only way a ‘bigger’ fish were to come in for O’Neil would be that he’s hugely successful here! |
Of course I understand. I was merely pointing out he is not a loyal manager.
It was not an outrageous comment, not many are loyal. I am surprised the thread got this much traction. I hope in a couple of years there are 'bigger' clubs trying to poach him as it'll mean we have done well. | | | |

Quick, let’s find another stick to beat our new manager with |
You are getting confused. I am not 'beating' him in any way. Just pointing out he lacks loyalty, but that is normal in football and in life for a lot of regular people too.
I am OK with the appointment and hope he does well. | | | |

Going from 50k to 100k is a lot different to going from £1M to £2M (when you should already be set for life financially) in my opinion. But again I understand and respect a lot of people choose money over showing loyalty. | | | |

So are you saying he should’ve stayed at Bournemouth and Wolves longer, after they’d sacked him? Where are you getting this lack of loyalty from? | |

Didn't you read? It's his track record.
Disloyalty is literally in Gary O'Neils M.O.
I know you are going to mention the 2 sackings from 3 jobs, but those sackings?
He did that himself. so he could have six months off before changing jobs.
Don't trust him. |  |

No matter who we appoint, if they do well and another club from say the top 6 came knocking, they would go. |
Did McKenna go to Chelsea? |  |

Respectfully disagree, it's all relative whilst 100k might allow me to shop at Waitrose, £2m would get me my own chef! | |
