Something I have been mulling over for a while. McKenna really is a fascinating personality. I actually believe he found the last 2 seasons easy bar the odd expected blip along the way. I also think he is revelling in a bit of hardship currently as he tackles the next phase of his career as it will make him a more rounded manager when he moves on - which he will - to one of the very top jobs. He will get the United gig one day but if he were to end up in Europe I would bet a month’s salary he has mastered the language and doing his press conference in Spanish, Italian or German within 6 months. Sir Alf Ramsey was before my time but he is already our second best manager since and clear by margin from the rest. Who knows where Ipswich end up over the next few years but I could not be more impressed with how he has gone about things across the board from preparation, tactics and nurturing the host of new faces in the current squad.
Early days I know but a very productive summer - far more incoming to Portman Road than I expected. Fascinating to see he how they all shape up but Jack Clarke could be an absolute gem.
