Believe both reports said we believe he will join us. We also heavily believed kudus would join us as well. We just don't pay enough to be that confident. But it does look 50/50 from reports. Tuesday/Wednesday key time.
Got something to say or just want fewer pesky ads? Join us... 😊
[Albion] Kieran McKenna

Would think so, also needs to consider moving whilst his stock is high. Ipswich pretty likely to get relegated next season, at that point he isn’t going to be quite so marketable. Established, very well run PL club without the intensity and scrutiny (and lack of patience) that goes with a ‘big’ club is a logical move for him at this stage of his career.
I'm guessing everyone is sitting around waiting for Manchester United to make a decision. They're not very good at it so imagine this could take time. Bit sub-optimal to be dependent on what they do, but we seem to accept the wait.
Presumably we have decent options if it goes tits up with McKenna.

It does, doesn’t it! I keep hoping that there’ll be announcement any moment. The trials and tribulations of being a football supporter.

If you mean Albion are going to walk away cos McKenna will have some unpalatable contract demands - then maybe - but unlikely since (it’s reported - multiple reports ) they’re now looking to close the deal.

Sorry if I've missed anything important whilst on my 3hr walk around Newcastle this morning but Shirley our new boss conundrum is staring us in the face. We want KM, KM doesn't want to commit until Utd have fannied about reviewing their nearly shite season and keeping his pinkies crossed that the forward thinking Ratcliffe and Brailsford for sentiment reasons want him. Message to KM...do the yards first. Use us yes but don't keep us waiting as we will progress you. For this reason I would be inclined to say No thanks. Potter...unlikely Tony wants the Heart Breaker back. Poch and Tuchel can slug it out for Utd Job. RDZ can go and sort out the Kings Road shitshow and await being booted out within 6 months. Leaving us to Sign Maresca who probably wants out of Leicester anyway!

Maresca is going to Chelsea.
It's so very confusing...like playing solitaire but without the spare empty hole

I should of read RDZ thread first b4 posting I guess. Can't believe Utd are serious about RDZ. KM will stay at Ipswich with a new salary I reckon now and we will be making phone calls to the man in his boxers!!!

Given how tight GP had our defence and knowing you are a fan of defences I am genuinely surprised!

You're right.If McKenna comes to us
Then it seems we are his second or possibly third choice.
Just doesn’t feel right.
Hope I’m wrong.
That’s what you get when you target a manager that Chelsea & Manure are interested in.If McKenna comes to us

Hope I’m wrong.
I’m more than happy. I wasn’t keen on the club going after 2nd choices like Potter.
I give you...

RDZ was out of work as i understand it.
It wasn’t a football thing, (nothing to argue there) more personality, always seemed to come across like he was doing us a favour….

He did take a few days sleeping with the homeless which I admired but yes he was a little touchy about any criticism. I was a big fan until he walked
