Pliskin Posted 8 June 2023 Share Posted 8 June 2023 Having read a fair bit on McKenna and watched some videos of his tactical style, I’m sold. He is definitely the right guy to take us forward. With some cash and good business he could create a force. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's just started from scratch at Ipswich, I just can't see him doing it again. He risks undoing all that work. If he comes here and we're midtable after 10 games then people are going to want him out. Edited 8 June 2023 by Fox92 spelling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They need to be sure they bring the right person in, we’re all inpatient and want it am done now… we hashed things with Rodgers we can’t hash this again. A manager will be appointed soon enough. ..the possibility of Rudkin giving Potter a similar salary to Rodgers for him to come here is still a possibility!!! How we continue to put our trust in this DoF, we really are gambling with our future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he comes he're and we're midtable after 10 games then people are going to want him out. I don’t think that would be an issue. McKenna seems to have a very identifiable style of management, and deploys pretty robust tactics. Ipswich over the last two seasons, since his arrival have scored more goals, created more goal scoring opportunities, completed more passes and retained the highest rate of possession in the league, all whilst playing in an front footed aggressive style. Basically he’s taken the good bits from Rodgers philosophy and has applied a bit of Jose too. Reading into Ipswich they’ve been the football writers favourite team to watch outside of the premier league, they’re exciting, energetic and score lots of goals.

To be fair the DOF at Ipswich is an absolute toss pot who nearly bankrupted Bristol City. He signed 36 players in his first season at Ipswich and nearly did the same to them!

It is mad Ipswich didn't win the league. They scored over 100 goals. The GF, GA, Points are there for all to see. I would go for him in reality just don't think he'd leave (yet).

He would, as a young coach imagine Leicester coming for you….. biggest budget in the league and a licence to build a team in his image….. he would definitely be interested. It would be a huge step in his career. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Horse's Mouth Posted 8 June 2023 Share Posted 8 June 2023 I feel like a few years ago wilder would’ve been perfect for what we need right now, but judging off his past two jobs I think he’s a bit washed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Posted 8 June 2023 Share Posted 8 June 2023 20 minutes ago, frany104 said: McKenna for me. The main attribute we need from our next manager is enthusiasm to be here. We don’t need a manager who’s been at loads of other clubs. We need somebody who sees us a step up and has the hunger to prove themselves. If it’s not a McKenna, I’d like us to go for Duff. Yep. And from what I can see, he says that Rodgers is an inspiration in terms of his development and pathway in coaching. I wasn't keen when I first read about the inspiration thing, but in that context I don't see a problem with it. Just because he admires the route Rodgers has taken as somebody with a seemingly similar background, doesn't mean he is going to be divisive and egotistical like him.

We're still framing this from our 'down-in-the-dumps' position of being the biggest bin fire in English football. We aren't. Every neutral is looking at us and wondering how we went down and expects us to bounce straight back even if we lose big names. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonkeyTennis? Posted 8 June 2023 Share Posted 8 June 2023 (edited) Dean Smith would be absolutely fine, and Graham Potter is not the messiah. We do need a lot of players, but the clock is ticking and the finances are uncertain, so to some degree we are going to have to take what we can get. The next few months won't be a grand rebuild where we can shape the team to the playing style of a dynamic new manager. Instead, we are going to start the season with a hastily assembled Frankenstein's monster of a team, and we need a manager who can roll with it in terms of strategy. I actually think Dean Smith, while not perfect, is more capable of that than someone like Potter (personally I thought he demonstrated this very clearly in the Newcastle game). The last thing we need is some under-experienced Pep acolytle who wants to get Vestergaard, Hamza and ANO Hoofer from Notts County playing a possession-based, high-pressing game.

Leeds, Everton were musts, & they couldn’t turn any major points, & produce points from a few hard games,that Forest, Everton then Bournemouth shown they could.. I want a full reassessment,then with new manager on board a rebuild that gives a sound base,for further developement.. Who are we thinking then?

Adster Posted 8 June 2023 Share Posted 8 June 2023 22 minutes ago, Fox92 said: Just got them promoted, turned the club around really, had the backing to bring players in. I just can't see him going through the whole process again here, when he's started it at Ipswich and we're now at the same level. Come on, don't be silly. Take these blue tinted specs off for a moment. Regardless of whether you're still down in the dumps because we're relagated, the prospect of a rebuild at a recent premier league champion, with likely increased wages for him and a better squad of players rather than tussling it out with a recently promoted club, just trying to stay in the division? Come on. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully not but maybe Kelechi, Daka, JJ. We might be set up to lose a fair few but it won't be for free. There's going to be some not insignificant budget here. Think 100m is moderately conservative if we reinvest 100% of what we make. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
