Who is the "iconic PL pundit" Garth Crooks?
It’s very annoying that we’ve seemingly missed out on the manager who was surely our first choice.
However, Bloom and Barber never put their eggs in one basket. You know this.

As we have just seen with Kompany, getting relegated does nothing to lower your reputation, he would be stupid to leave Ipswich.

See the earlier post on this thread from the Ipswich fan as he lists things like input into training facilities etc etc. It's about being given the freedom to be involved in everything that could affect the players etc

I think it's all been such a shame. Imagine that the last couple of weeks had never happened - we'd all be really excited for the new season, with everyone back.

Yeah, Chris Wilder is a shoe in for the Barca job.

Do we actually know whether we approached KM?? Seems to be a lot of assumptions that he was our number one target but nothing concrete to back this up. It's possible that he was never of interest to us.

Have to say I’d be very nervous about the RDZ of the last few months being the man who took us into next season. You cannot have a loose cannon as manager/coach imo

I'm starting to think the succession planning was all a bunch of horse shit!.
Well I'm pretty sure that the Albion consult the manager/coach when making changes. As for the other things, I'm not convinced but then I'm not going to trawl through 99 pages to try and find this Ipswich fan!!See the earlier post on this thread from the Ipswich fan as he lists things like input into training facilities etc etc. It's about being given the freedom to be involved in everything that could affect the players etc
Exactly. When Roberto came, I seem to remember reading that we added a huge TV screen to the training pitch at his request.

I’m starting to think some people on this website are so stupid that they have to wear a crash helmet whenever they cross a road.!

Here we go again. How on earth do you know McKenna is 1st choice? You don’t. You’re jumping to conclusions by accepting rumors as truth.
The bed wetting on here is becoming embarrassing.
I think with this much smoke, there's a little fire but I also believe he'll have been far from the only name on the list. Not sure how he could be our 'number one target' as so many are claiming. We might have liked his style but until we'd actually spoken to him, how would we know whether his view of the future and our own would align. Some reports said we spoke to him or his representatives last week. Nobody knows whether that increased or decreased our interest.

Yeah, I'm with you. Even before RDZ was mentioned two years ago, there were two or three other names being bandied about, one I think I'd even heard of. If KM is as good as people say he is, of course he'd be on a shortlist of 4 or 5 at least, but Paul Barber has said (BBC Albion podcast I think) that they always have a number of people and players on perennial shortlists, for whenever the need arises.

True…
And the club / owner/ backroom staff and personnel have all had a part to play in the success over the last few season.
It’s not all the work of the manager.
Hold on… im starting to see some similarities here.
