The one thing I am 100% sure of 07:50 - May 23 with 2078 views | Cheltenham_Blue | for next season. Aston, O'Leary, Ashton and Schwartz will make the right decisions for this club to give us the best chance of not just staying in this league, but staying in comfortably. |  |

The one thing I am 100% sure of on 07:53 - May 23 with 2047 views | GavTWTD | Add to that, Ashton has probably known about this for a long time and will be VERY prepared. I would expect a new manager in very quickly once Kieran has left. The only problem is that he won't be as good as McKenna. |  |

The other problem, not being McKenna, is he might come in, look at our squad and say, "well, these are effectively L1 players", and pull the whole thing apart. |  |

"The only problem is that he won't be as good as McKenna" To soon to know that Gav, prem is a massively different play ground. Lambert did the double with Nodge, didn't work out to well for him in the end.... Not comparing managers btw, just that it's an unknown at present at this new level, so we could potentially end up with better, we don't know. But hopefully we don't need to find out yet. |  |

I think, by and large, thats right. We don't know how McKenna will cope in the Prem with player power, media and fan pressure etc, something he's completely escaped here thus far. But we do know that he has a knack of getting an extra 20% out of players and that's a big problem for a club looking to establish itself in the Prem. |  |

Look on this season as prep and financing for the next five years. The club is in an excellent place and I think we can trust the board to appoint the right guy to keep us progressing. |  |

Last thing we want. We don't want to be the latest version of them up the road. |  |

So you're saying that there is a chance we will get someone as good as someone who just got voted manager of his season across all the divisions by his peers against stiff competition? You're all over every thread putting a downer on KM at every opportunity and then at the end of your post you finish with something like "of course I want him to stay". It's disingenuous and not what the forum had come to expect from the New Frimley. SB |  | |  | Login to get fewer ads

Firstly, im not putting him down, we aren't discussing what's happened, what he has achieved is incredible. But none of us knows the future, we don't know for sure how he's going to get on in the prem, whether that's with town or not, this doesn't change what has has achieved, it's just a complete unknown at present. IF the question was could we find another manager who would have done what Kieron has just done from league one to the championship, then i'd say that would be difficult to do back to back promotions, with pretty much the same squad and a true testament to how good a job he did. But the prem is a different level SB, and as mentioned we've seen the doubles achieved before and the then managers of those doubles, not going onto have the big success in the prem. Atkins for example went back to back, got sacked in January in his first season in the prem. Back to your point about putting a downer on KM, im not, you're nit picking your usual bits from my posts to suit your usual agenda with me as a specific poster. Unfortunately that is to be expected from the usual SB. [Post edited 23 May 2024 8:28]

The one thing I am 100% sure of on 08:33 - May 23 with 1523 views | IPSWICHFANITFC | As much as I want McKenna to stay, if he does move on, then it's in the best time frame in terms of the football season. Players won't be back for pre season for at least another 4 weeks and we're not midway through a season and losing him either. |  |

The only way Lambert compares with McKenna is that they both have two eyes and four limbs. |  |

"Back to your point about putting a downer on KM, im not, you're nit picking your usual bits from my posts to suit your usual agenda with me as a specific poster. Unfortunately that is to be expected from the usual SB." Simply not true, other posters have mentioned it as well but you do love to make out it's only me. No downer on KM? Just this morning in the last 90 or so minutes you've posted: "Not comparing managers btw, just that it's an unknown at present at this new level, so we could potentially end up with better" "No one has said KM is driving the speculation either, he does however have the power to manage his own agent." "absolutely we have seen players improve, big part of KM of course, but there;s also players that haven't necessarily improved" "But his agent is driving it and this only happens if KM allows it too." I've pointed it out, not going to get into an argument about it so I'll leave you to continue. SB |  | |  |

"Simply not true, other posters have mentioned it as well but you do love to make out it's only me." No, no one other than you has said it. "Not comparing managers btw, just that it's an unknown at present at this new level, so we could potentially end up with better"" No even a downer, as agreed by another poster, we don't know how he'll do in the prem, yet. "No one has said KM is driving the speculation either, he does however have the power to manage his own agent." He does, again not a downer "absolutely we have seen players improve, big part of KM of course, but there;s also players that haven't necessarily improved"" It's true, Jackson for example, hasn't improved as a player, but KM used him correctly and Jackson ran through bricks for him, not sure how you're taking it as a downer than not every player improved, not everyone would/can. So well done on listing complete non downers. You are right, not getting into an argument, because there isn't one. |  |

He did a great job in their first Prem season, which is the nub of the discussion here. McK will have us mid table if he stays, and pushing for Europe if he stays longer. |  |
