Town boss Kieran McKenna wouldn’t be drawn to comment on former Blues defender Luke Woolfenden’s claim that there was “a politics behind” whether you were in or out of the team at Portman Road.

Woolfenden joined Coventry City for £4 million in the summer having found his opportunities at his hometown club more limited over the last year since the signing of Dara O’Shea, now the club captain.
 
“I’ve sort of seen the headline,” McKenna said. “Honestly, I don’t think there’s any sense in even justifying it.

“We’ve got great memories from that period, great memories of the players who were involved in that period, Luke being a massive big part of that. 
 
“Going back on past ground or anything like that, there's plenty I could respond to in that sort of direction, but I don't think there's any benefit and I’d rather keep the good memories and the good feelings from that period. We all have to crack on with the future.”

petersongoal added 14:05 - Oct 15 I said it on the previous post and I'll say it again - Wolfy lacks maturity. This comment from McKenna is exactly how you should respond to this line of questioning, with professionalism and class. Time to move on.

RIPbobby added 14:40 - Oct 15 I feel for Wolfy because he would have been a legend here and he has kind of messed it up really. Some silly comments to make, no matter how true they are. He should have just kept quiet and enjoyed being a vital cog in the quite recent past.

Town1Inter0 added 14:46 - Oct 15 Wolfy has no idea where is career is going and could have possibly one day have been wearing an ITFC shirt. I doubt it any more. And it looks like any post playing career will be centred outside of Suffolk now.

Gforce added 15:07 - Oct 15 @RIPbobby.......I don't think Wolfy would ever have been a legend here,no matter how long he stayed. That title belongs to the likes of Hunter, Beattie,Wark Butcher and Muhren.

Rimsy added 15:07 - Oct 15 McK statement just shows the gulf in class between the two men. Wolfenden has rather burnt his bridges with his home club. Shame

ArnieM added 15:15 - Oct 15 Tbh Woolfenden thinks he’s a lot better than he really is, and certainly isn’t worthy of any response from Kieran McKenna.

armchaircritic59 added 19:11 - Oct 15 Pretty much agree with the sentiments above. I think we all have a greivance or two throughout life, sometimes it's best to just keep quiet and find another outlet for your frustration. In Lukes case that should be playing his way into Frank Lampards team and convincing him he needs to stay there! That would speak for itself. Well done KM for not rising to the bait.
