Do we think McK was actually serious about leaving?
at 22:21 27 May 2024

To be fair - latest reports suggest he turned Chelsea down, so yes I think Chelsea at least were serious. Who knows whether McKenna was

Feels like we’re just days away from an Ashton Town TV interview
at 12:51 27 May 2024

While it feels like it's heading in that direction, there's been a lot of movement so it could so easily not happen.

Just a few days ago McKenna was out and out favourite for Chelsea and then that's clearly not happened.

Brighton confident of appointing McKenna this week…
at 12:04 27 May 2024

Yep - to be fair that would make a lot more sense!

United is the major domino to fall here on what happens next I suspect.

So what will have happened by this time next week???
at 12:01 27 May 2024

Unfortunately, I agree with this. Logic surely says that Brighton would have moved on if he wasn't keen on going there.

I do wonder whether this is a bit of noise coming from Brighton's side to try and push McKenna into making a decision. In the same way other representatives have been pushing alternative messages this last week.

Again, not really new information, but a tweet from Fabrizio Romano on McKenna & Brighton

The text within the article is less 'click baity' I thought:

"He is currently seen as likelier to go to Brighton if he does leave Ipswich Town"

That's a pretty big 'if', and also at odds with the definitive statement within the tweet.

McKenna rumours
at 22:03 26 May 2024

Not exactly new news, but seems like things are moving in a hopefully positive direction this evening:



Ten Hag looking more likely to stay, says the choice for McKenna is Brighton or staying at Town



Another source ruling him out at Chelsea

Chelsea looking elsewhere
at 10:56 26 May 2024

I guess it depends on how you view it - glass half full or empty.

Nothing's been confirmed on Ten Hag. Similarly, you could argue, why would Brighton be waiting for a manager who doesn't want to join them? If it's the case that it's United or Town, surely McKenna's representatives will have told Brighton that?

That being said, removing Chelsea from the conversation certainly helps.

McKenna & His Agent
at 12:43 23 May 2024

Feels like Kieran McKenna is playing Football Manager and using the 'Declare Interest in Job' button for every job at this stage.

I think he'd do well to rein his agent in somewhat, if it is coming from the agent, it's looking a bit desperate

Fed up with it All

It's very close to getting messy, and regardless if it's agent talk or not, ultimately they are agents connected with McKenna and therefore it just doesn't reflect well on him.

Nothing will take away from the incredible achievements, but a bad taste will start to form if this agents "come and get me" messaging continues. Similarly it's not a great look for the club to have your manager on every back page being touted for other jobs.

Given the United job won't move until next week, it doesn't feel like something will happen quickly, which either way is what we need now, if he leaves - we say thank you very much and he leaves, or he stays and we can move on and start planning for pre-season, this limbo is the worst part.

It's also not even correct. Has Leif Davis as one goal, but he's scored two this season.

Pretty poor really

If this is exhausting, he's going to be managing them all next season

Surely not going this soon after back to back wins. (not saying he shouldn't but surely won't happen at the moment).

Pearson - Bristol City
at 18:10 21 Feb 2021

Pearson is now 2/7 favourite for the Bristol City job https://m.skybet.com/football/manager-specials/event/27159519

Wonder if we had him lined up and Lambert seemingly staying in his role is because Pearson is going to Bristol City instead
