Steve Cooper went from relegation to winning the championship play offs in less than a season, and ended up getting sacked anyway. Take the opportunity when it comes

Graham Potter proved that being a great coach isnt enough. I thought Pochettino had just got the team in gear they were looking dangerous

[@Zeppelin180]

So if McKenna does a decent job with Ipswich next season is Simon saying there’ll be bigger jobs than United and Chelsea available to him?

[@ke5146]

They just talking bs any manger who has aspirations would take those jobe

[@simonoliver8576]

​@@ke5146as much as I would love to see mckenna or maresca turn down the chelsea job to stay at ipswich and leicester in the real world it aint likely to happen really is it m8🤔 mckenna was being linked with brighton recently aswell maybe thats an option for him I actually think that is a step up from ipswich aswell no disrespect to them🤔

[@kolyxix]

When did big clubs like Chelsea and Man U began looking for 3rd class managers? Funny and sad how low standards have dropped for Chelsea and United, and Bayern as well

[@simonoliver8576]

@@kolyxix nearly as funny as that paul merson impression from simon jordan in this video m8 of course he has to go 🤣 re the situation with managers is it not about timing tho to a point surely if as you say there aint a lot of good managers around at the moment I aint disagreeing with you btw then maybe these clubs should just keep the manager they have tho or had and wait for a really good manager🤔 the irony is of the three football clubs you mentioned only m utd aint sacked the manager as of yet as far as the the other two are concerned I do not understand why bayern sacked tuchel when they did especially if they are replacing him with kompany they obviouly thought they could get xabi alonso tho and it didnt happen as for chelsea I dont think poch deserved to be dispensed with anyway but it is chelsea we are talking about tho so nothing really surprises me where they are concerned🤣

[@MarlboroughBlenheim1]

He's saying McKenna will be ready then

[@tts1551]

Comparing Mckenna and Moresca to Amorim is ridiculous. Does he also forget clubs like Sporting, Benfica and Porto play in the Champions League?

[@paddycable1723]

Alf Ramsey and Bobby Robson both left Ipswich but only after years of loyal service and only to manage England. I contend they were both legendary managers and even greater than what McKenna is at the moment. McKenna should test himself with Ipswich in the Premiership before leaving at the first opportunity for clubs that won’t afford him any loyalty without success.

[@thefacelessquestion3333]

Brighton has a great track record with coaches and players though.

[@user-pu1ds4gy4x]

Maresca owes Leicester because they gave him his first job and he had the best team in the championship as for Mckenna he doesn't owe Ipswich because he wasn't expected to get promoted and he did. He however owes it to himself to prove he can keep Ipswich in the league with limited budget which will also increase his value as a manager, just look at Alonso.

[@Bluelight44]

And he got them back into the prem so whatever "owe" debt he had to them is paid, settle and closed

[@douglasmegson3739]

I disagree. Ipswich took a risk as they saw a potential good manager. They've nutured him and given him everything he asked for. Essentially it's been a good fit. This may not happen if he moves on. McKenna's style is to get workmanlike players who are not possibly the best but will give their all at all times. It's the team that counts, not expensive individuals

[@Bluelight44]

@@douglasmegson3739 my bad, I was referring to maresca but since you're talking about McKenna, come on back to back promotions, literally from a very weak division (league 1) in comparison to Premier league in 2 seasons without spending huge amounts of money. There has to be no debt between Ipswich and McKenna. I am not an Ipswich fan but if Ipswich fans think McKenna owes them because they gave him a chance then y'all are just greedy Oh and I am talking about McKenna going to Brighton, that is perfect in my opinion but him going to Chelsea or MAN U is too big of a leap.

[@shahid1296ify]

@@douglasmegson3739 Completely agree. Its the bonding of the team and the culture that can make great players. Not the 20 million signing that scores goals every now and then. What a waste!!!

[@irieite9666]

The way Marescas been treated by Leicester fans he doesn't owe them anything.

[@jonathanw6859]

Of course Mckenna was already a coach at Man United under Ole, and as I recall was ripped apart by fans and pundits for not being good enough/best in class and was hounded out of the club. He'd be mad to go back

[@Gavitfc]

Exactly this. He and his training methods were absolutely torn to shreds and mocked (school teacher springs to mind) by the players, the fans and the media. And this is the thanks we get 😂

[@adrianwilliams469]

Ipswich are not exactly a small club like everyone says they are. The board at Ipswich will not get in the way of transfers unlike Chelsea and Man United. Thank you Simon for noticing Ipswich are not a small club. McKenna owes us Respect if nothing else apparently he has been talking with Chelsea longer than he would have us all believe it leaves a bitter taste in my mouth but sadly money always talks.

[@martynrollinson]

You're 100% correct Ipswich aren't a small club.......they aren't even that big.😂

[@oisinmckenna1054]

Where did you hear he’s been talking to Chelsea a lot longer than he would have us all believe?!

[@Thembisile13]

Simon is right...Owners still have to pay severence after firing a manager. Potter still living off Chelsea fees and he can for the rest of his life if he wanted to

[@minnielee3399]

That's Chelsea fault for signing Potter on such a long contract. They then realised that 'the project' is not gonna work out and so need to give a big severance fee coz of the length of the initial contract.😄

[@trevorsaunders580]

​@@minnielee3399And of course Chelsea gave Graham Potter all the time he needed to make The Project to work.

[@NoxiousRob]

Owners don't need to fire a manager, just relieve him of his duties and put him on gardening leave while still paying him. If we wants to take another job, he has to had in his resignation, no severance payment required.

[@Joelinton1892]

That Paul Merson impression 🤣🤣🤣

[@carllewis1022]

Arteta had no managerial experience, Arsenal went for him and he's doing well, so why couldn't McKenna, he's probably further down the managerial line than Arteta was?

[@georgesofocleous943]

He’s won sod all. How has he done well exactly?

[@DickDyeria]

In those two awfully run clubs?

[@shasent3568]

Arteta get all his training/teaching from the GOAT manager

[@zack7438]

Arteta played the game at the highest level and so it was easier for Arsenal fans to trust him. Mckenna with all due respect, has accomplished nothing at the elite level.

[@solo97us73]

​@@zack7438and Nagelsman?

[@SuperKinlo]

As an Ipswich fan, it’s frustrating that we are likely to have our manager poached before we even have a crack at the top table with him at the helm. I have faith that Mark Ashton and the ownership have been succession planning for a while but either way it harms our chances next season before we even kick a ball.

[@marksmarsh2039]

it will be a shame if he leaves you but you shouldn't dislike him i he does take the job. If your chairman gives him some money to spend that might convince him to stay with you. Same goes for Leicester boss

[@5tuartGuy]

why shouldn't they go, if Ipswich or Leicester are in the bottom 3 after christmas their is a pretty high chance they'll be sacked, loyalty goes both ways

[@VeryFinnishProblems]

Simon nailed it 100% 👏👏 McKenna has a chance to make history, but it looks like he might jump ship at the first opportunity, despite professing his adoration and love for Town two short weeks ago. I hope I’m wrong but not only will he have completed a double promotion in record time but if he leaves he’ll be demoted from hero to zero even quicker.

[@rogerdavies2796]

What nonsense. If these 2 were offered a higher profile position on twice current salary.......they'd be off before you can say "dollars for doughnuts"

Yes Simon!!! If McKenna leaves Ipswich he will be making a foolish foolish mistake!! Keep what you have with Ipswich. Ply your trade with Ipswich, get better and better and better as a manager then move elsewhere. Cooper and Potter are utter fools for what they did. Kieran has something magical at Ipswich, if he carries on, Ipswich will become a stable prem club like Bournemouth, like Brentford. Please stay Kieran!!

[@bigerichunt9413]

As for Leicester "zero gratitude" City, they've sacked two managers who achieved miracles for them the moment that the bubble burst. So if I was Maresca and a bigger job came along I'd grab it with both hands.

[@Michael-kt6gi]

Yeah Maresca realises what happened to his fellow countryman Ranieri.

[@steveo726]

Mc Kenna is daily losing fans at ipswich To get promotion to the premiership and walk out is below the bar . My suspicion is he’s had a big barny with Ashton and can’t wait to get away ! We’ll see

[@johnou.k.3780]

Tend to agree with you

[@markflajsner9944]

McKenna & Maresca were hired to get promotion but that's not their end game - the first part of the job is a success but the road to success is more than just reaching the PL. What they 'owe' relates to their contract, how many years remain.

[@rocky5755]

It’s not just the money on offer it’s the challenge and the profile. With all respect to Ipswich it wouldn’t be where I’d want to live compared to London, Brighton or Manchester. Whatever McKenna decides to do is ok by me. He doesn’t owe Ipswich anything, and the club will be compensated if he moves. However I’d say Chelsea and United could be a bad step at this stage. He has a great bond with his current team and may want to show how good they can be. The Brighton set up sounds,like the best option if he does want a move.

[@samtalksfootball4312]

I also saw Merson talk about Xabi Alonso.... And thought it was also absolutely ridiculous 🤣🤣

[@karlwba1372]

Managing a London club, comes with far to much external noise and immediate entitled fan pressure and a small time window to succeed or its pain pain pain......if you need ,want and expect to be given time, patience to build something, then swerve.

Simon 💯 right. Jim as usual doing his job trying to hype everything up.

[@frozen1762]

Didn't Ferguson reject offer from Arsenal or United in early 80s? It's up to managers to decide is the time right. Also, for some top clubs like Real or Barca it's not enough to win, you have to "win with style". I remember Real sacking Radomir Antic in early 90s even if they were top of the league because he didn't play "attractive football".

[@gary83uk]

In fairness managers get fired all the time whether they have done a good job or not. Their fate is very much tied to player performance and I guarantee you there are managers who have maintained the same level of personal performance club to club with opposite outcomes.

[@PazLeBon]

Cooper stayed at forest and look how he was rewarded. :/ might as well take the money unless contracts are unbreakable :)

[@clabby154]

Absolutely spot on Simon - we as fans are in the main sick to death of agents fuelling gossip and innuendo which frankly for me has taken the gloss off our brilliant promotion. McKenna has spoken recently of looking forward to the challenge with our team, his legacy will undoubtedly be tarnished with our fans should he ‘abandon ship’

[@Studroy]

If we are honest..Mc Kenna was a coach at ManU at U18 level,while learning his trade..so,going back there as a Senior manager is not such a big deal.

[@johnbshannon]

YES THEY HAVE A CONTRACT WHICH, IF THEY HAVE ANY..................SHOULD BE HONOURED

[@waqaarsalim9030]

Most likely scenrio is that Ipswich go straight back down. So he'll have that on is CV. Don't care how good a manager you are ,its very difficult to make the jump from championship to prem. Its a chasm. He's got them up 2 divisions. He's done his job and then some. I'd go to Brighton.

[@purehyperbole5727]

Quite a few of the older managers are a lot of aggro to employ. Some are not successful anymore. So there is a dearth of experienced successful managers to employ.

[@rushnafwadud]

Why won’t McKenna to Brighton not mean he’s backing himself? Surely Brighton has the perfect resources and springboard and basic squad to come into, compared to an Ipswich who will surely struggle in the modern day PL?

[@Remnants100]

I understand Simon's point of view, but unless we are the ones being offered just such an opportunity, it is hard to imagine not having our heads turned. In an ideal World, Clubs would like to think loyalty plays a part in the final decision. However loyalty is a two way street which is often detrimental to any Manager who has a poor spell.

[@Klown84]

Jordan says they have to back themselves by staying at their respective clubs and develop there. This is not how the real world works, if you back yourself and are confident of course you’re going to go to another level as soon as you can, it’s called ambition. If they don’t then they’ll always going to ask what if. You don’t want to die not knowing what could have been in any walk of life. I say go for it and give it your best shot.

[@digit432]

But unfair from Simon, they gave him his opportunity for sure, but he gave them back to back promotions, and probably £6m. I think he's repaid them.

[@weekendgetaway9294]

Simon is right. I don’t know what the fuss is about McKenna or people comparing Arteta’s move to Arsenal. Don’t compare Arsenal Board with Manchester United or Chelsea. Man U and Chelsea have the worst board in the world. They (Man U) don’t support managers and just bleed the club dry. Chelsea’s board don’t know what they are doing. Arsenal is a very well runned club. It is so disrespectful to Ten Hag. Two days to a final this is coming out. Like what do people think will be going through those players head. Imagine if Chelsea or United get McKenna and it turns out like lampard (who was good at Derby) or Graham Potter. Those clubs will be taken 3 years back

[@kolyxix]

The fact Chelsea are happy to get rid of their manager despite them starting to play well, should put managers off going there, it’s going to be their 5th manager in 2 years

[@sacred1827]

Easy for Jordan to sneer at the idea, but Mckenna is not an ex footballer with lots of money. He cannot turn down a life-changing contract from a huge club even if he's not ready. United should see him as gettable in a few years and look for someone more experienced in the meantime.

[@gutika113]

I know he didn’t compare Amorin to McKenna 😆

[@Trecesolotienesdos]

Simon is evidently an experienced and successful businessman. If he gave a person a chance in his other businesses, and they were headhunted, would he have the same reaction? It's unfair to assume football people (to use Souness's term) should be held to a higher standard than in other professions. If a solicitor, teacher, construction worker, or civil engineer could seek a better opportunity, then i don't see why a football manager, coach, or player shouldn't.

[@dennisstaines8005]

Because in Football they sign a multi year correct and normal employee's have a contract that allows them give a notice period of a month/3 months either way. If they get a contract for three years they should honour that if the owner wants them out he has to pay the remainder of the contract.

[@aishaigotout65]

What are you talking about Simon? It would be massive career mismanagement turning it down. What opportunities will arise bigger than United if he stays up with Ipswich next year? Endless list of managers have come up after doing well in the champ, done well in the prem and then dont get a sniff of any top job. Dyche, Frank, Cooper, Wilder etc etc. These top clubs dont come calling for promoted managers often. There is nothing to suggest Mckenna would get a top 4 club coming for him because it never happens to these managers coming up which is why everyone find the Kompany one so baffling.

Yes and endless managers f the career up jumping ship at either club, I hope McKenna and Maresca say to them stick your money where the sun don't shine, why should they go to big clubs for one season just to get sack that ain't how football always work, you're delusional.
