Please stay and keep building this club you are fantastic manager

[@garybarnes3446]

Thanks to Kieran we can now believe again. And I hope he is with us for the long haul. Sir Alf and Sir Bobby - legends not only at Ipswich but also for England. Kieran can achieve what they achieved. I honestly think he is the best thing to happen to Ipswich since Sir Bobby left.

[@kingsfleet21]

Also a big shout for Mark Ashton

[@ragtopdee7408]

You forgot George burley he is on that list

[@-TimZambra]

Best thing to happen to English football.

[@hannecatton2179]

What a delightful human being he is.

[@Gavitfc]

The more I hear this guy 😍😍 he is here to make history just like Sir Alf, Sir Bobby and George Burley and he will take us all the way with that attitude!!

[@alliswell2114]

[@user-vg9rh5cu5y]

Thank you kieran mckenna Ipswich Town is your club fans love it fc

[@user-vn8lw2sz9i]

Simple - He is the best young manager in the country.

[@scottbrowne3174]

No contest.

[@christophercorbett5074]

Correct And he had to pull everyone at the club together after that humiliatinghorror show against Maidstone A lot of folk forget that

[@charliemilroy6497]

Kieran could be a politician after this job! He made it very clear that he's happy at Ipswich, but left the door open to move on depending on the opportunities he gets. We all knew that if he did as well as we thought he could, then he might not be with us so long. If he does leave he will have our blessing, and we'll thank him for the effort he put in and the special times he gave us. Hopefully, he gets us up and shows what he can do in the Premier League with this team.

[@user-fl8bm4le4k]

If Ipswich town go up, I hope they give this man whatever he wants. Potentially going to get Europe in first season.

[@charliemilroy6497]

If we do go up, I hope everyone is satisfied with survival and sticks with KM even if we struggle and get relegated.

[@tezzathetracter2001]

Absolutely a worthy recipient. A real gent, great manager and master tactition. Hopefully a long and illustrious career.

[@scottbrowne3174]

What a man and manager he is. It will be a sad day when he leaves Ipswich, I pray it won't be too soon.

[@heathercrowe4935]

Fabulous Kieren. You have done us proud.

[@miserableoldgit1411]
