McKenna isn't being fired. He's interested in the manager role at Ipswich. Why are you assuming that this is being driven by Rangnick?
Kieran McKenna / Ipswich manager
- Thread starter RonaldoVII
- Start date
Fingers crossed he gets it as one it’s a great opportunity for him and two, we get rid.
Can he take Phelan with him?

It's not optimised for mobile either. It's a feckin eyesore.
Oh god a blue background with bright red ads... Make it stop
We need to keep him around. The cones at Carrington won't put themselves out you know.
Good opportunity for him. After Carrick announced his decision, it was obvious that all members of the Ole's team are looking forward to leave as soon as possible. They have been professionals, did what they have been asked to do, and now when Rangnick added his own stuff, they can finally leave. With all the hate they took on themselves from 'fans' online, they really need to get some rest. This is good call for Kieran, Ipswich as big name, but after years of bad results he won't have much pressure and I guess he will have enough time to prepare his team for preseason and probably to show next year what he can do with his team when all the responsibility on him.
Hopefully he's into great career. No need to blame him on United shit show. It's all on those inept managers.
Interesting that the coaches are all jumping ship rather than taking the chance to stay and learn with Rangnick.
I think that speaks a lot personally.

Well No it doesn't , to be honest Solskjaer support staff are hiding to nothing they got attacked when they were kept after Ole was let go , they got criticised for not resigning and now they are getting pelters for actually moving on .
If the coach is getting job as manager then it's right decision to move on.
Great move for him to be fair. Although wasn't it Ipswich where it all started to go wrong for Keane?
Good luck to him, hope he does brilliantly.
Donny Van De Beek can do that job can’t he?
Surprising news. Not sure what he has done in the last 3 years to warrant a league management job, lower league managers probably wondering also.
This logic would work if he was managing or coaching at another PL side.
He’s being hired by a team that is currently ranked 12th in League one, two divisions under the PL. He ain’t shutting anyone up over there. If anything, it makes you wonder why he couldn’t get a better job.
Because a new manager won’t want to bring their own staff with them anyway?
Considering he was a highly rated coach, I would be very curious to see how he does striking out on his own as a manager.
Would be interesting if he goes. As a Manchester United assistant coach he should theoretically be better than anyone else there, but we'd see if that's the case or not
No it wouldn’t. Only thing that would happen is moving goal posts. Like we know anything about Mckenna on the training pitch
Should have been out of the door before Carrick. I'd drive him to Ipswich myself.
Good riddance
Well that was my take from this anyways: 'The club has granted permission for him to have talks with Ipswich" So his contract probably doesn't allow him to leave unless the club wants him to? Could be like you say though.
If he goes and takes Martyn Pert with him then that's two spots for Rangnick to fill with coaches who understand his system, happy days.
Confirmed. Gone to Ipswich
Wishing all the best for Kieran ..he will do a great job there !
Happy days, a real reboot.
Done and dusted. Just had the confirmation from the app.
Pert confirmed as his number 2 also.
Not comparable. Arteta is a big name with a playing career at the highest level. That alone earns him more credit than a no name who never played professional football and never managed a senior team. He has to build his reputation and work his way up.
Would he go if we were still under Ole? That doesn't have much to do with Ralf right?
Good luck to him! I think he has some good ideas, just needs to build up that managerial experience like Potter did.
Happy days indeed.
Good luck to him.
Don’t think so.
Why wouldn't he? I don't think a club like Ipswich is one you would turn down in his shoes to be honest, it's a huge opportunity for him.

Good luck to McKenna, highly rated coach who could do very well in the lower leagues learning his trade.
That's what I think, just curious if people have more insight as I've not been following this thread closely.
