I’m happy with whoever Tony Bloom chooses, but doubt it will be anyone on that list.

[Albion] Who do you want to become our new manager?

They are very worried on the Ipswich forum. Looking at his past experience I think he has worked with Barber at Spurs and Vancouver. This could have legs.
Why do all those wordings sound like someone asking a taxi driver to take them to the stadium while blind drunk?

Just checked it out myself and yes they are starting to get worried after being pretty relaxed until now.
Hopefully our fans will be gracious if we do get him. We know what it's like.

Pep Guardiola. He sounds like he needs a new challenge. Taking this young exciting squad to new heights would be the perfect project for him. Make an impact in the Champions league and prove that you are the greatest of all time. Come on Tony, get it done.
McKenna now 1/3. Probably down to a couple of people putting a £5er on but still.

Thats hardy like for like!
I imagine if RDZ had Biss, Caicedo, Trossard and Ali Mac it may have been a bit different
Potter developed all those players

The big Mckenna hype feels a bit like a classic BHA smokescreen. TB has probably had a substantial wager that has shifted the odds. I’m still expecting a left field appointment that is on nobody's radar
Not yesterday. We gave up scoring goals when De Zerbi gave up believing in the project here.

That is classic Sky Sports "News" though isn't. Report the back pages.....
Does seem to be something in it though and I'd imagine Ipswich fans are fuming.

"Could understand him going to Chelsea or United but not Brighton. Sure they've had a good couple of years but it's just a perfect storm of good stuff. They'll be back in the championship in no time."
"He’d be brilliant for almost any club. But I’m struggling to get my head round the fact that we might leave us so quickly, and for a club like Brighton! Yes they are ahead of us, but 2-3 years time we could well have reversed rolls with them."
"I honestly didn't see it happening with our promotion, not yet anyway and especially not Brighton."

Well I think McKenna has gone. A lot of back pages saying that tomorrow. I think Brighton have been in contact with us for a while about him to be honest. After Leifs interview saying he hopes

They're gonna get absolutely mauled next season unless they sign 6/7 EPL ready players with or without McKenna. It has Burnley written all over it......apart from the fact Burnley were much better in the championship!!

Yep,
they really think it will be like L1 to Championship...... Burnley pissed the Championship and we're totally shown up in PL.
I dont wish them bad, but they're going to get a rude awakening. The league has moved on massively since they last left and the gulf has never been bigger.
McKenna would have to fail spectacularly at Albion to get a relegation on his CV, he'd have to have his best ever season and perform really well to avoid one next season with Ipswich.
