Why does that matter in the slightest?

Yeah and if he doesn't get into the top 4 inside 5 games or so, they'll sack him

 

You'd be mad to go to Chelsea, you couldn't build anything there. I suppose the pay off will be nice though.

Can’t understand the seemingly desperation clubs have about getting McKenna.

Another for the meat grinder. He’ll not bring any of these clubs immediate success, and these clubs have zero interest in building something sustainable, so he’ll get chewed up and spit out and they’ll bring in the next flavor of the month.

Ugh. I get the ambition angle but Chelsea...disgusting place and he'll only end up like all the others.

Chelsea is the only club you can manage, get sacked from and come out with a better reputation.

Exactly. Any manager with anything about them immediately loses any credibility going there in my book. 

[dcmk]

McKenna must have the same agent as Lloyd Kelly.

 

Gets linked to everyone.

Makes for pretty bleak reading. Not one of the last five substantive managers even got close to two years. 

[Dr.Spaceman]

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.

[Deuce]

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.

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".

Absolutely this. And the fact that they'll all think they're the one that can fix Chelsea permanently.

They only gave Poch a 1 year contract mind.  This was the extra 12 months just not being exercised.

Don't see the logic in him leaving Ipswich. 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

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.

Good data ?

[LionOfGosforth]

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".

Totally. Football's a strange business in which your career can collapse overnight. 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.

It's certainly shitty for Ipswich, that's true. Modern football is grim.

YES LADS!! One final dance with The King so to say. Oh to be back on the field, managing. Winning some games, probably lose some as well I’m not perfect lads I know that. I’d take a Championship job as well lads I’ll tell you that much. I hope someone comes through for me. One final dance. 

I did get 5th and EL while young Eddie had to settle for 7th and the conference. 
 

dinner time for me lads. Probably have what everyone else is having. See ya later.
