Makes for pretty bleak reading. Not one of the last five substantive managers even got close to two years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Spaceman Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 Sign for Chelsea and you're financially sorted for the rest of your life or stay with Ipswich on a relatively poor wage and potentially never get an opportunity like this ever again. You can see why the likes of him would jump at a chance like this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deuce Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 Part of me is intensely irritated by the myopia of some of these clubs. There’s little to no thought of hiring a manager and allowing him the chance to build something. The only goal is to win immediately and at all costs, not recognizing that there are likely only a handful of managers capable of doing so anyway. It’s such a cynical, dipshit way to approach the game and would drive me absolutely crazy as a supporter To say nothing of ownership that insists on meddling directly in football affairs, rather than hiring a DoF to build a coherent footballing structure and working harmoniously with their manager. We’re really fortunate at NUFC. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keegans Export Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 31 minutes ago, STM said: Chelsea is the only club you can manage, get sacked from and come out with a better reputation. It's a good point tbf Tuchel ended up at Bayern, Potter recently turned down Ajax and is linked to every "big job" going in England. Poch won't have any trouble finding work. If McKenna believes in his own ability he's probably thinking he'll only enhance his reputation by going there, even if he gets binned within a year the narrative could well be "Same old crazy Chelsea!" rather than "McKenna in over his head".

Go to Brighton and anywhere outside the top half is seen as a failure.. just staying up with Ipswich increases his reputation. Atleast give Ipswich a year. He may look at Paul Heckingbottom, he was cock of the North this time last year and now he's on the dole, managers should probably take any opportunity chucked at them Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nor should he. He did well at Spurs and finished thos season incredibly strong with a very disjointed Chelsea squad. I've no idea what Boehly expects.

LionOfGosforth Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 Feel quite sorry for Ipswich and their fans in all this. All the excitement of a brilliant season and first one back in the big time for 20 years and their manager immediately touted around. It would never happen but i'd love one of these managers to come out and say something along the lines of "I'd never want to go to a club that chews up and spits out their coaches like Chelsea do. There's more to life than London and money". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

McKenna retired injured at 22, he'll have only made a relative pittance from the game so far. Puts any decision he makes in a different light. Plus, I fully agree with the idea Chelsea's reputation is so poor now that they're more likely to come off with a smell than the next manager.
