A petty gripe about our fantastic support 09:43 - Aug 20 with 2633 viewsCopfordBlue

What McKenna has done for our club in 20 months is incredible. In terms of having an immediate, positive impact and the speed of progression I’d argue that we have never had a manager who has done as well so quickly. Without him we’d be stuck in league one, trying to convince ourselves that we would make the play offs this season.

We were a club in seemingly terminal decline when he joined . The new owners meant there was a glimmer of hope but there was every chance it was yet another false dawn. Where we are now was inconceivable for at least 5 years before he joined. I didn’t think I’d ever see us at the top of the championship again and doubted I’d ever see Portman Road full for a league game.

Here comes the trivial bit - the man should have his own, original (or at least a bit less common) song. I’m sure we can do better than “we’ve got super Kieran McKenna….”. Every team in the country seems to sing a version of it, even those with managers who are clearly anything but “super”.

Good question - not a clue. Vienna by Ultravox might have potential (Vienna/McKenna) for someone with some creativity.

This should be our anthem and plenty of room in the chorus for a " McKenna is here"

Or Oasis based.....And after all... its McKenna ball

Agree about both. I love the suggestion of “and after all it’s McKenna ball”. Great idea!

Funny you should mention that, as I've already penned a Macarena tune for our great and glorious leader, but didnt think it worth sharing seen as the Super Kieran McKenna one is so loud and pretty decent, even if it isnt an original. Anyway, a possible alternative goes like this:

Our Manager is Kieran McKenna
And since he's come to town, things have got a lot better
Some are students of the game, but he is the professor.
KIERAN MCKENNA!

We love you, we love you, we love you McKenna
We love you, we love you, we love you McKenna
We love you, we love you, we love you McKenna
KIERAN MCKENNA!

Would work best if the first four lines are bellowed out and echoed in response, and then everyone joins in together for the chorus.

Call me biased, but I think its a good 'un!

We’ve never sung “by far the greatest team”.

We sing “finest football team” and always have done.

It a dirge but there is something amusing in the thought of the North Stand trying to hit the high nite near the end

We could do "the fields of McKenna"
