Not only a wonderful interview and insight but also I want to say how good the interviewer was. He was so genuinely interested and gave Kieran all the time he wanted to answer the questions. He didn't just sit and nod like many do, neither didn't he hurry to get to the next question. Two very intelligent men having a relaxed, in depth and fascinating chat. Kieran is so humble but at the same time so assured and confident. His self belief gives us all belief in the future of our club.

Great interview, finally a bit of insight into my club and how Mckenna has run things and his history as a player/coach/manager. Don't forget that Sir Bobby Robson taught Jose who taught Mckenna, so good to see things go full circle in some ways. UTTB, we've got great things coming! 🚜🔵⚪️

The club was in the wilderness when Marcus Evans was owner and he didn't seem to care. I don't think McKenna will be at Ipswich for the long term but am confident he'll leave the club in a better state than it was in when he joined.

@kevinbailey3384 Жыл бұрын

@@geoffpoole483 Depends how we quantify long term. My view is he will be here as long as it takes to stop improving, which is five years for me, and then it just depends on what the factors are at that time.

Excellent interview. Kieran exudes a quiet confidence - he is measured and modest in what he says, but you can just tell that he knows he is going right to the top in the game. I just hope that ITFC can provide him with the support and success to match his ambition, enough for him to stay here for many years. That would mean getting back to the sort of success we had under Sir Bob. COYBs.

As a Wednesday supporter, good to get an insight on another manager in the league. Us, Ipswich, Plymouth, Derby and others have all got some good up and coming managers, think this is what is making the top of League One super competitive this year! Think Ipswich are on a roll with 6 games to go, they're now the most likely to get promoted, a lot down to McKenna's work...shrewd signings in January, even managed to keep Luongo fit!

Chelsea fan. To be honest I had no idea that Kieran worked under Jose. I was a little concerned about him taking the Chelsea job, but this has definitely removed that concern. If he decides to take the job, I just hope that he insists of being his own man and not just a yes man, because we've suffered enough already with managers finding out that they were nothing more than a trainer who picks a team.

@SeriousBartYT 8 ай бұрын

Im so pleased for the supporters of the Tractor Boys. After years (possibly decades of being in the doldrum), they finally have a side to be proud of and a manager that represents them. The two east Anglia derbies would be fun to watch this year...and with some investement in Jan, Town supporters may well be reach the promiseland. Lastly, I am particularly pleased for McKenna as him and others in Ole's coaching staff were widely ridiculed in spite of him( Kieran ) being highly regarded by United's first team.

He’s done a wonderful job so far but he’ll know more about himself when he goes through a sticky patch. Everything has aligned for them this year but incredible job. No doubt he’ll get job offers but I wouldn’t be in any rush to leave Ipswich, sometimes some managers just suit certain clubs. Take nothing anyway from the job he’s done though

He talks from his experiences, views and at times his soul, yet I did not here him once speak narratives, as the weakenst managers do. I hope he does not go to toxic Man Utd, as that club has destroyed many managers confidence and visions. It would be better to let him stay with Ipswich and see how high they can get in the Premier League first.
