- Roberto De Zerbi will be leaving Brighton & Hove Albion after tomorrow's game against Manchester United, with Ipswich boss Kieran McKenna the favourite to replace him. Who will be the next Brighton boss and what chance it's be McKenna taking his place?

As an Ipswich fan, I'd hate to see him leave but, leaving my emotions out of the equation, Brighton would be a great fit for him: established in the Prem; stable and sensible board; won't have to meet the impatient needs of the fans of, say Man Utd or Chelsea (in regards of a top 4 finish, or higher); dressing room appears to be very professional and all pulling in the same direction. Damn it, there doesn't seem to be any downsides to taking the job!
Downside is leaving Ipswich
Ipswich have a much larger potential than Brighton. There's your reason
@@STSTa much higher potential of being relegated for sure.
@@Mberrybb Ipswich will finish above Brighton this year.
@@STST highly unlikely
I can’t see him leaving, McKenna turned down Leicester last summer, a bigger club than Brighton despite being in a lower division. Now he’s gotten Ipswich to the Premier league, I’d be stunned if he decides to go.
As a Town fan, I would be more worried about Brighton pinching our manager than Man U!
Hi Ben , he is not leaving for Man Utd , Brighton or anyone else in the near future. Kieron is an honourable guy who knows he has the full backing of great owners and the support of the whole ITFC fanbase. He has a significant free rein at Town and the full backing of Mark Ashton and the board. Financial stability, an advanced plan and is in daily discussions with Mike Ashton on what members of the squad to release and which targets to bring in. He will want to establish Town as a Premier League side after which is stock will be even greater and only then will he move on to a big club probably Man Utd. Uppa Towen!
I would agree, I don't get why many are so nervous by this. Anyone else perhaps but I just have the feeling that the whole setup of town is unified and all act as one from top to bottom.
Money, money, money!
🤣
Brighton have a better chance at staying up than Ipswich so there is a reason to move. However this happens all the time a manager moves after being successful with another team and it never seems to work out at the new team. Sometimes managers just fit clubs.
I bet Rob Edwards will be on the menu for many clubs.
As an Ipswich fan, I'll keep all emotions out of my opinion: Brighton can FO and then FO some more. 😛
im a brighton fan you can keep him i dont want him. thank you
Chelsea fan. That was funny. I dont want him either. It would be Graham Potter 2.0. My my my have my club been turned into a joke by our clueless venture capitalists owners
It would really embody "running to adversity" if McKenna jumps ship when the going gets tough!
Russ Martin is a Brighton born lad. I was the year above him at school. Amazing talent. Look what he’s done for Southampton
What’s he done ??? Get a club that’s been in the premier league for 10 years promoted from the championship. Big Sam could have done it with the squad he took over. He’s not that good calm down 🤣
Brighton are a very well run and stable club with money in the bank and a fantastic data driven recruitment programme. They hold their cards close to their chest and reveal little externally about how they do what they do.
For all we know klopp might have the job 😊
Be rank bad luck if you lose him to Brighton. Unfortunately managers get booted out of office so quickly when it goes the other way they end up having no loyalty because they know they won’t get any back. Hope you keep him and if he dumps you hope he fails.
I’ve been in the directors box and dining room at Brighton and in Tony Blooms company quite a lot he’s the most delightful, modest, and lovely man you’ll ever meet. Fingers crossed McKenna honours his contract.
In my opinion TB is the very best and clever owner anywhere in Europe (and I’m a life long owl).
As a fellow town fan I think we are just going to have to get used to McKenna being linked to nearly all jobs, if he stays and we start the season well it’s just going to get worse.
I’m sure Mark Ashton and the ownership are constantly future planning in the case he does go.
If he does go I’d be gutted but would thank him for a wonderful couple of years.
He won't 🚜 our Tractor Driver 😊
A canary makes for a good tractor driver. do you agree?
Personally think Corberan is a really good shout at 16/1. The situation at WBA, albeit better than it was with new ownership, is still a bit tricky and he isn't going to get a whole lot of cash to play with. Brighton is a great fit for him. They like to take a gamble on unproven PL managers -which Carlos is - but anyone who watches him knows he could set up a team at virtually any level due to his tactical understanding of the game. It'll also be much easier to pillage him than it will be any of the promoted managers.
Not saying I definitely think it'll be him. But if you're a betting man, then 16/1 are generous odds imo
it makes so much sense doesn't it ben? i don't think he'll go but he'll sure be tempted
I don’t know why but McKenna and Brighton just makes so much sense..
No. What makes sense is he stays where he's already developed his own squad and laid down a culture. Brighton won't go any higher/bigger than they are now. Ipswich can go beyond that ceiling.
Was only ever a matter of time until he moved to a bigger club!
As in Ipswich fan I’m terrified, McKenna has been incredible but Brighton is such a logical step to make before moving to a top club, also McKenna being heavily linked with the Chelsea job
As a Bolton fan I want him to Stay at Ipswich he has done an incredible job and i hope he continues his spell at Ipswich by keep you up next season
@@richarddawson8462 as I neutral I just say lol I bet you are one of those hypocrites saying stuff like this whilst parroting about Evatt out because he lost one game
@@samjackson328 not at all if we get rid of Evatt who would we get. Today is disappointing we will try again next season in what will be a very difficult league one. I hope the owners stick with Evatt but also hope Evatt does some work as we are very predictable and need to mix it up. 5 years ago we almost lost our club. we do not have a divine right to back in the champion it will take time, Pompey spent about 7 years in league one we have spent 3 and I expect it to take a couple more years before we make the jump
I was worried 6 months ago, but after the last 6 months and seeing how the team grew with McKenna and the potential ITFC has, it would be shocking for McKenna to give up and move clubs now that we are in the Premier League.
As an Ipswich fan and looking at the bigger picture there are clear risks on any decision that Keiran makes. As the old saying that "grass isn't' always greener" comes to mind and I've been there. I think given that he started this project I think from the person that he presents himself to be that he'll want to finish the project as far as possible as long as the owners can provide him with what he wants he'll stay, otherwise another job will be more appealing. He has stated that he and his family love the area although that may not mean much in the grand scheme of things. I think we can expect to see McKenna stay for at least one season and go from there. Of course if he does have a successful season and keep town in the prem then his stock will rise even further. On another note that you do see all the time players and managers jump ship too early and whilst I think McKenna will do well anyway he goes, under another ownership he could be a few wrong decisions away from being sacked...
Alternatively, "better the devil you know", which means much the same as "the grass isn't always greener". I'm an Ipswich fan too and I'll try and look at this objectively. A PL club hiring a manager with no experience of management in that division is a huge risk, despite that person's meteoric rise to date. I doubt Manchester United would seriously consider hiring him at this stage. The same goes for Chelsea, who are also supposedly interested in hiring him. Brighton is a club of similar stature to Ipswich and sounds more feasible than a move to Manchester United or Chelsea. I think it comes down to a choice between an established PL club or a newly-promoted club with a lot of momentum. A manager's first ever season in the PL will be challenging, so probably better to stay at a club where he knows the players, the set-up etc.
I said a few weeks ago that if he got an offer from a big club, something Ipswich aren't,then he would be on his way.Ipswich fans laughed.I believe i will be prove right.
Because Brighton aren't a bigger club. He will only go to a club with a higher potential than ITFC. Brighton aren't a bigger club than Crystal Palace who McKenna already turned down.
First things first, that's a great jumper. Definitely nervous about the possibility, but think we should be OK this summer. Even if we do go down, we'll put up a fight and his stock will still be high. He's well backed and has a lot of freedom here.
Brighton is a fantastic job though, I just wonder if he would have the same level of control he has here. Barring a series of miracles, each more spectacular than the last, he'll leave one day. I'd just be surprised if he didn't want to have a go with the players he's nurtured.
Whoohayyy. It has begun.
The heart led Town fan hopes he feels it best to keep riding the wave on a tractor
The head says a switch to an established club at Prem level gives him a great chance of maintaining his reputation and propelling him to a truly elite level
Potentially staying with Town is a higher risk for him personally in that regard
If he does go it will be a huge huge disappointment and put a large question mark next to Towns chances but very few Town fans would wish him anything other than the very best of luck
As an Ipswich fan I think it might be a long summer with this kind of speculation. Fingers crossed time 🤞🤞
Chelsea are supposedly interested in hiring McKenna. That's three clubs in a week.
As great as McKenna has been for Ipswich, he is still unproven in the Premier League.
What price for the Norwich appointment 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
There is no way McKenna turns Brighton down if he gets offered the job
Nonsense. Brighton are not a bid enough pull for him.
@@johnbarnes8755How did you know that? You must have spoken with him.
I don't think he will leave Ipswich, going up with Ipswich gives him a free hit at the present league , if he doesn't keep them up there's no disgrace in that considering what he's achieved, he'll have a year under his belt and if he does well with Ipswich in prem his stock will be sky high, give him a long contract and get the compensation money next year
I've got a feeling it's going to be Graham Potter, returning
As a Brighton fan I'd 100% take McKenna 🙏🙏
Sod off, keep your hands to yourself 😂
He will go look at there resources regarded best in premier league
Surely the most sensible thing is just to bring Potter back, he's still out of work
McKenna has done an amazing job at Ipswich and he and Ipswich deserve every congratulations for the season they have had. But it’s not inconceivable that an ambitious man might see a Brighton move as a save bet to avoid a potential relegation on his CV. Unless Ipswich have the finance to convince him that they can bridge what has become a ridiculous gap between the Prem and Championship.
This man is special and we shouldn't judge him by the same standards. He can get ITFC into Europe in two seasons, he could get ITFC competing at the very top if he doesn't get poached by Utd.
Ipswich's Ownership are worth 13 Billion. They just had another investor hand them £110 million. They have the money to compete.
@@STSTffp might have something to say about that
@@ben597 Yes very true. But Mckenna is the type of manager that doesn't like to spend big. He buys potential talent and coaches them better.
McKenna turned down Palace, he'll turn down Brighton surely. Brighton will go for Potter surely
Brighton is a trendy place to live. Ipswich well you don't need telling.
Trendy place for sure, but any real football history I don’t think it compares
It's full of hipster toss pots. McKenna probably lives in some picturesque Suffolk village.
Brighton always go for young managers who want to improve . I told an Ipswich fan back in February he would move to Brighton thinking De Zebri was inline for Klopps job , he obviously has a club to go to im sure it will be old trafford however it could be munich too . sentiment only goes so far and if a top 10 prem club comes a calling the i think McKenna will go
Who are the top 10 clubs? There are a top 8 currently that you expect to be there every season. Brighton could be the next Leicester. Brighton have hit their season with a very well regarded manager. Brighton probably won't finish in the top 10 this season.
@@charliemilroy6497 its an opinion I'm sorry it doesn't fit your rhetoric
McKenna seems to have a big say ín what's going on at Ipswich such as the plans for the training ground & pitches, he is completely in charge of the playing side of things and is now a premier league manager which he said was his ambition. Speaking as a town fan i hope & think he will stay. Despite giving your opinion Ben,i would be interested what you think will happen, will he stay or go.
As an Ipswich fan it pains me to say but I think the overall opportunity at Brighton is more attractive than Ipswich. A lot of people are saying where can he realistically take Brighton from where they already are etc and that Ipswich has plenty of room for growth. That might be the case but does he fancy trying to excel at Brighton and nudge them towards top 6 which he must back himself to do or does he fancy trying to excel again at Ipswich and get them to safety as early as possible in the season. Bigger picture I think he'll fancy the squad and infrastructure at Brighton over Ipswich to kick on his career rather than Ipswich. That isn't to say doing a good job with Ipswich would in anyway harm his reputation comparatively and Ipswich on their trajectory could well be just as firm a Premier League set up as Brighton in a few years but thats in a few years time - you can't begrudge him for wanting to take the next step now. It's a fascinating one as you can genuinely see the merits of staying and leaving. Fingers crossed he stays put but I think a relatively risk free move for him
No worry my Suffolk chums if he goes, David Wagner is free and he wouldn't even have to move house.
No thanks!
Its got to be destabilising to the club if ot i so up in the air how are they supposed to prepare for next season it needs settling sooner rather than later either way lo ger it frags on the more it hurts the club. Hope to god he stsys but the club need and deserve certainty
Completely off topic but Stoke have confirmed Viktor Johansson from Rotherham. Some say it's the first time we've signed a clear, first-choice No1 since Tommy Sorensen in 2008!
Hi Ben, if he is swayed, just ensure you get adequate compensation.
I'm not a Ipswich fan, but I think if he gets a better offer, he might be thinking, if Ipswich get relegated, his stock would drop and so would the offers of managers jobs, as a leicester fan with a points deduction I think we will be in the bottom three, and if other teams get deductions during the season, then Ipswich could stay up
Ipswich will probably finish 10th
@@charliemilroy6497I remember people saying something similar about Burnley even saying they could push for Europe and look what happened there lol
No McKenna no hope
Oh dear never mind
Surely it's Potter - proven, still lives there and is clearly waiting for something to happen
Iv done £ 100 @ 10/1 2 hours ago
@@jamessewell83 you’ve lost it..Tony bloom doesn’t go back when someone kicks him
@@petemills5704 What evidence do you have for that claim? Potter didn't leave on bad terms
@@pajanightbadger1713 Potter did leave on bad terms, just look back at the reaction when Chelsea played there that season. The fans despise him.
@@alfiesaunders7410 time will tell but Potter sounds confirmed
Football manager odds are normally wrong after getting Ipswich to the premiership hard to believe he would leave now if loyalty still means something?
Just checked - McKenna turned 38 a few days ago (14th May).
He'll hold out for the Man Utd job. Until that's dead, why take something less?
Brighton couldn’t keep DeZerbi for some reason. McKenna has done wonders at Ipswich. Should he go, he’ll leave on a high with total respect from us. What will be will be. Looking forward to future whatever. 💙
🚜🚜
I don’t think Graham potter would come back at Brighton because Ajax are looking for him Kieran McKenna if he does wants to leave Ipswich could be a problem but I can’t see him as manager at Brighton because he’s not a strong contender
A decent manager think Ipswich will do well to keep him,you think that Ipswich can keep him Ben,not being biased as a Norwich fan but it's a step up and not saying that as a rival fan. Brighton is a well run club with brilliant ground and always on the up.
Why the hell would he go to Brighton, thats a huge step down
As long as they leave Mark Robins alone
Will KM have the same level of autonomy at Brighton as he does on Ipswich. KM is left to run the playing side of the club while MA runs the non-playing side of the club. Will KM have the same freedom to select players in transfers, team selection and tacticts. Brighton’s owner-chairman Tony Bloom likes to get involved in he playing side of the business, does that suit KM.
I can't see mckenna leaving Ipswich right now . To me the statement say there has been a falling out at Brighton . I think mckenna gets Ipswich to stay in the premier league and his stock gets higher . I do wonder if Brighton might be looking at a manager that is a bigger manager
What are the odds of McKenna staying put? That could be a nice little earner. I might stick 100 pounds on that!
I think McKenna will change the Premiership. I think he's best served to do that with the tools he already has.
Or literally go to Brighton and spend the caicedo and macallister money on the best ipswich players..
@@Micfri300 I haven't seen a moment of that kind of mercenary behaviour from McKenna. I think that's one of many reasons why he inspires.
@-TimZambra mercenary behaviour? It's called common sense.
Ipswich and Brighton both play 433.
Mercenary behaviour is going from an Ipswich to a crystal Palace.
@@-TimZambra It’s a professional game , managers move all the time for better jobs. It very common that championship promotion fans think their team will rock the Premiership, just look today to see the 3 teams returning to the Championship. To survive the 1st seasons is incredibly hard
@@johnholkham2420 Oh ye of little faith. ;) I'll remind you of this comment when it doesn't happen. There's nothing 'common' about Ipswich under McKenna.
Brighton is next to Gatwick.
Crawley is next to Gatwick, Brighton is eighteen miles further south
McKenna will be the next manure manager, he coached there before
Kompany will go to Brighton unless potter goes back
Leaving my yellow and green scarf at the gate think it would be better for him and Ipswich if he stays put let him cut his teeth with Ipswich too many times managers who had success with one team they built jump ship to a bigger club and are sacked with in a season or so lampard Chelsea mike walker Everton, he knows Ipswich and vice versa
I know people like to farm him off at every opportunity, and believe rumours from bookies for clicks and giggles. But no I don't believe he will go to Brighton, I think he is all in on this project.
Chelsea are supposedly interested now. I follow Ben's policy of not believing a move will happen unless the manager/player is holding up the shirt of his new club. A few years ago Norwich fans believed Barcelona and Bayern Munich were seriously interested in signing Max Aarons for a vast sum. Much to their surprise, neither club signed him.
No smoke without fire ? Well ben a magic show as smoke an mirror's with no fire , just sayin lol
Think he's already got Man U job when ten haag is gone after FA cup final
Ipswich is a bigger club than Brighton.
Cant see it happening. Pretty much got a free hit at prem next season, and its a good learning curve
Why stay at Ipswich cos they'll be in League 1 shortly. Bail why you can Kieran.
They better not go for Marti 🫤🫤
He will be gone by next week Brighton a bigger club more money established premiership team with better players.
More pay he's off.
I don't see it happening. No offence to Brighton, but I don't see it as an upgrade. McKenna sounds like he's playing an integral part in rebuilding Ipswich; a rare opportunity to forge a legacy, that must be very alluring. He also knows he'll still be a hot prospect and highly sought-after even if the coming season doesn't go well for Ipswich, so he has nothing to lose by staying put for at least another season.
But I'm usually wrong so I've probably jinxed it. Please stay, Kieran!
That's what we thought about Potter.. going for managers from the same league isn't generally our style, however you're kind of in-between right now so we'll see. No offence but that is a bit naive to not see brighton as an upgrade - I know it comes from hope. Would much prefer to see what he can do with Ipswich, de zerbi wasn't on any pundit or bookies radar when Potter left so wouldn't surprise me if that's the situation again. I think you'll have some good suitors if it does happen though.. Potter? 😉
@@mash83Potter would be a good fit for Brighton indeed. How many managers have made a good career out of chopping and changing? The only reasons managers move is because the team they are with have low potential, which is not the case for ITFC, their wives don't like where they live, they want a big payday, or the have a huge ego and think they can somehow sort out Man Utd or Chelsea even though the clubs are not set up to be successful behind the scenes and you won't get enough time to put your system in place.
@charliemilroy6497 was joking that he might go to Ipswich (could happen 😉) he certainly won't be coming back to brighton.
@@mash83 Haha...yeah, I'm just coping hard. It would just be disappointing to see him come this far with us and not manage us for at least one season in the Prem. McKenna doesn't strike me as the sentimental type, and he was quick enough to leave Spurs.
@@mash83Brighton are already at their ceiling. Ipswich can go beyond that ceiling as a club. Mckenna will know that.
As a neutral, I hope he stays but if he leaves I’d understand. Unless Ipswich spend well, this has potential to be a very tough season for them. Perhaps wrongfully, this may even affect McKenna’s reputation.
Perhaps, but Farke had a disastrous first season in the PL and his second season was going the same way until he was sacked. He joined a Russian club but left before a ball was kicked due to the Ukraine invasion; had an ok season at Borussia Monchengladbach but was sacked. Now he's at Leeds and has taken them to a play-off final in his first season. In short, a good manager will bounce back from adversity.
@@geoffpoole483 I think you make a fair point.
Let’s see. I hope he stays.
Bloody disgrace if he leaves
Do you think if he goes Ipswich will make a move to appoint Wagner?
Steve cooper will be great successor to replace David Wagner at Norwich City they reported to appoint him from ex Nottingham Forest manager
He will stay at Ipswich
Why on earth would Keiron leave Ipswich for a much smaller team??
How is Brighton smaller??
Quick answer. No. McKenna ain’t gonna walk away from Ipswich
If Brighton want him, he'll leave, he'd be daft not to go.
@@GG-zl3et and why is that? Because Brighton are just such a massive club? He’d be more stupid to go. At Ipswich there won’t be the necessity of success next season and he’ll be given the chance to learn the premier league with a club that’ll show patience with him. To top it off leading Ipswich into the premier league is something special he can do and cement a legacy for himself already.
@@GG-zl3etWhere can he take Brighton? They're not far off their ceiling anyway, surely? If there's no/little potential to grow the club then taking the job would be a hiding to nothing.
@@connor4435 McKenna is very much a part of ITFC's reset, which is why I doubt he'll take the Brighton job. Due to his rapid success McKenna is going to be linked with any manager's job in the PL. A few days ago the press claimed Manchester United were interested in hiring him. Town fans will have to get used to this speculation.
@@geoffpoole483 yeah I know, I’m not an Ipswich fan but I understand the annoyance as a Villa fan. The media are desperate to sell Unai Emery to a “bigger club” and it’s annoying to see them already do it to McKenna
Norwich fan - No way Mckenna will go for it surely. Ipswich much better than the old seagulls...
If he's made an offer his agent can't refuse he'll go. Agents are motivated by just one thing and it's not loyalty.
Leeds fan I think he'll stay
I don’t think their a big enough step up from Ipswich. Spurs, Chelsea or Man UTD certainly.
That’s face it, like Ipswich and about 7 teams in the Prem, Brighton are 1 poor transfer window away from relegation.
I think you may have underrated just how hard staying up is with a Championship squad look who just got relegated this Sunday. Only Forest stayed up last season and they spent shedloads of money to finish 17th .
@@johnholkham2420That’s not correct m8 - all three teams stayed up last year. Only once in Premier League history have all three promoted teams gone straight back down again. That was in 1997-98 when Barnsley, Bolton and Crystal Palace were relegated.
Also, Ipswich currently have a similar (or maybe larger) budget to Brighton (Owner and Prem money) and will likely expand their Stadium to 40000 in 2026 according to media sources. If they stay up , they’ll likely be a better prospect than Brighton.
He’ll wait for Utd or Chelsea
@@tatreides8425 Oh the Premiership looks so easy from the Championship, who ever manages Ipswich next season it will be tough . People keep saying what a small club Brighton is how they don’t deserve to be in the Premiership. History counts for nothing some great clubs have languished in the 1st division. If the setup at Ipswich was so good why did they find themselves in the 1st Division a few seasons ago. Brighton might be regarded as a small club but they have just recorded the largest profit ever by any Premiership club and are due to record another large profit next year, they won their group in Europe and finished a disappointing 11th after being in the top half all season. All this with a season long injury crisis where there were regularly 8 or 9 1st team players out. The Profit come from producing world class player which other sides want then starting over and finding the next one. I strongly doubt Ipswich have a development process close to Brightons
@@johnholkham2420 I’m not saying it’s easy to stay In the league and Ipswich will likely struggle (and they might go down); however, due to Ipswich’s takeover (reportedly 8 billion in that pension fund), thier history and the monopoly they have over their county (their a one county team) I’m afraid that their ceiling is higher then Brightons.
Ipswich have gone under the radar because of celebrity clubs like Wrexham, even by me, but many championship pundits and people who know the clubs situation have stated that they think they are better equipped then Leicester to stay up.
No body is down playing Brightons achievements and you may be able to stay ahead of Ipswich if they go down. But if Ipswich stay up - I’m afraid the investment and increase in club stadium size will likely result in them moving ahead you and many other Prem teams.
Eithier way, McKenna would like leave to join Man Utd or one of the really big boys if they came calling.
Not sure if he will stay or go, but think it would be a big mistake if he does.
Brighton have peaked, and he's got a free hit at the Prem this year with Ipswich.
The most that can be achieved with Brighton is getting into the Europa League, but that's already been achieved, and it's possible that he'll need a couple of seasons to get the team back there.
At Ipswich finishing 17th would be considered a success and keep his stock high, but I honestly believe that McKenna could get Ipswich a lower mid-table finish, which would put McKenna in the frame for some massive clubs. Could he even replace Pep?
seeing a lot of Ipswich fans saying Brighton have hit their ceiling; try looking at it from their perspective, they're not gonna settle for a single Europa League season, they're competing to have multiple european seasons and with the traditional big boys a lot more unstable these days and missing out on europe here & there, it's possible to repeat the achievement. the more they repeat it, the more leverage they have in hanging on to their playing & coaching assets when the old guard try and poach them. europa this season wasn't the limit of their progress, it was the beginning of the next chapter in their growth...
If it was Man Utd, yes, I think he’d do it.
I'd actually say United at this stage would be a bad move for him. The expectations and pressure would be very high. He has zero PL experience in full charge. Brighton on the other hand would be a good fit. A reasonable side, no expectations other than mid table and very little chance of going down. He needs 2-3 years PL experience as manager before going for a side like Manchester Utd.
@@cjmillsnunAgreed I think it just hurts Ipswich fans if he goes to Brighton because supposedly they are a small club who don’t deserve to be in the premier league or have any right or ambition to do better
if McKenna leaves that is a huge disservice to either of Leeds or Saints whoever ends up losing the playoff final and staying in the championship...the only reason where ipswich are where they are now is McKenna and if he leaves ITFC are comfortably coming straight back down with about 15 points next season
I’ve got to admit I’d be disappointed if he left town for Brighton if Man Utd come calling it would be to hard to turn down
🔰Silly season nonsense.
He won’t stay at Ipswich forever, but he won’t be leaving for a while, and when he dies it will be to a bigger club than BAHA.
HE WONT GO YOU DONT LEAVE A WINNING TEAM 🚜🚜🔵🔵⚪️⚪️
Of course you do. Ipswich will be scrapping to survive next season, Brighton have a good side and will have more money to spend.
He won't go to Brighton for the same reason he didn't go to Crystal Palace i.e. he knows that potentially the Ipswich project will outstrip the potential of Crystal Palace and Brighton. And he is also aware of history, which he even stated was one of the things that drew him to Ipswich in the first place. But if Man Utd come knocking....
No
No, I really don't think so. I think Ipswich have a gooden in that guy!
I would expect him to stay at Ipswich. The potential is greater at Town and he knows the setup. Brighton are a decent club but they don’t have Town’s history and are on the way down. I could be wrong though and I would expect Mark Ashton to have a successor or two in mind, just in case.
Brighton are not on the way down… Jeezzz. 😆😆
Ipswich don’t have a exactly a massive history & won nothing in a lifetime.
Logically it makes sense for him to go as much as for him to stay.
It comes down to him & of course money.
Brighton have much financial security as an established Premiership side. They sell out ever game over 30k.
The training ground is state of the art & is way a better place to live than Ipswich to be honest.
Brighton is some place especially in the summers.
If there is any truth in Brighton after him they roll out the red carpet for potential new staff.
Show them round town & the beach & places to live most overlooking the sea. Just don’t be surprised if he makes a difficult decision & goes.
I’d like to see him stay at Ipswich for me.
But as a Millwall man & an outsider on this & as someone who lived in & around Brighton for 7 years.
And I also way back went to Ipswich for a short stay I know where I would go.
Brighton ain't that great imo, it's a wannabe London without the trappings... doubtful he lives in a Ipswich , probably a lovely Suffolk village or near Southwold one of the most expensive and desirable areas of the UK and on the coast . And yes Ipswich much bigger history than Brighton.
No he should stay at Ipswich if sideway move
Red card needed for that jumper, Ben.
I hope he stays, but this is the club I was always worried about Brighton as they are us in five years or so potentially.
However I'd think McKenna could easily think we're similar to Aston Villa who are 5 years in the Premier and now made champions league. Could we do that with him at ipswich with our owners and him, possibly 🤔
Why would he go to Brighton,there no bigger than Ipswich ,yes they have had a few years in the premier league,and are well run ,but so are Ipswich ,and who's to say Ipswich can't be regular in the premier league,
If it was the England job ,or somewhere like Madrid or Barcelona,
Brighton just turned the biggest profit ever in the Premiership, most Premiership Chairmen are on an ego trip with little idea how a club should be run. Ask any Brighton fan who they would dread to loose its Bloom not De Zerbi . Blooms a one in a million chairman
I would be shocked if he left now…
Doesn't make sense for McKenna to leave. Brighton have hit their high water mark. They can't go much further. He would tread water, at best,.
if he stays at #itfc, he has an ever growing machine behind him, plans to increase capacity, large amounts of money invested & plans already in place.
I'm an #itfc fan. I want him to stay. He has been amazing for us BUT, if he leaves after pushing the 'running towards adversity' before he completes at least the first season in the Prem, he will reduce in my estimation. If, after a good season, he goes to a bigger club, I could get it. Brighton are not a bigger club. Better at the moment, yes, but not bigger.
I dont think brighton is that much more of a step up and theyve over performed the past 2 years so its hard to look good there
Why would he Ipswich are just as big as Brighton
Let’s be honest if McKenna leaves Ipswich now then it’ll reveal he is a money grabber. I don’t think he is. He has something special at Ipswich and any honest person would carry on that project.
Or just normal, ambitious, want to be paid more money for doing the same job. Brighton are far better equipped than Ipswich. Ipswich will be lucky to survive next season.
@@GG-zl3etBrighton have had a few good seasons but historically they are a toilet of a club
No such thing as loyalty in football. Money and the glamour, not much else.
@@JackSmith-kp2vsHe wouldn’t be managing the Brighton of the past would he. The current Brighton have invested heavily and are a pretty secure Premier league club at this point. History matters to fans but as an ambitious professional you would think he would be far more pragmatic in his thought process.
@@JackSmith-kp2vsas a neutral yes historically but Brighton are more of a big club currently. Stop living in the past. What determines whether a club is big or not when we are looking at it in the present is where they are currently. McKenna would not be doing anything wrong by leaving for Brighton it would be a progression for his career at this particular moment in time.
