Looks like McKenna is close to being appointed Ipswich boss.

Most of the old Ole coaching team nearly gone. Wish him well, he’s always been highly regarded as a coach so will be interesting to see how he does.
 
Nothing official on Phelan but seems to be very much in a background role he'd even taken a step back under Ole.
 
Been confirmed by Ipswich.

Good luck to him.

That’s a decent club that’s fallen on hard times looking at a long way back.
 
Nothing personal towards him but I consider the news of McKenna going anywhere to be largely insignificant, It matters not to me.
And given the response to the thread I suspect I am not on my own.
 
Well we never really know what the coaches do or how good they are at doing it because we never see the sessions.

If he’s being offered a managers position he must have something about him.

Will be interesting to see what Rangnick has to say in his next press conference if someone asks him.

Clearly matters a little as you came into the thread and posted.
 
K Mc won his first match in charge beating Wycombe at home 1-0 yesterday. Wycombe are 6th and Ipswich 11th after the game.
 
Looks as though Ipswich are gonna miss out on the playoffs, but looks like he's suited to Men's football after all.

Remarkable season for Kieran and the Tractor Boys - 46-28-14-4-101-35-98 - finishing 2nd to Plymouth despite losing 3 less matches, scoring 19 more goals and conceding 12 less goals - one for @jsp to digest.

What exactly is it I need to digest?

I'm pretty consistent in saying people who slag off the coaching staff haven't got a clue what these people do and how good they are at their job.

Nah nowt to do with the coaches ability, just remember you posting that the team that scores the most goals and concedes the least always wins the League, apologies if it was somebody else.

The goal scoring thing sounds like something I'd say and I doubt I said it guarantees the title just gives you the best chance. I assume that in the vast majority of cases the team that scores the most goals will win the league will always be an exception but I don't remember many sides winning the premier league and struggling to score goals.

I mean without going into the look at all their results my guess is they had some massive wins along with a lot of 0-0 draws as it's the 14 draws that must have cost them the title.

Obviously.

No need to guess there is no other possible explanation.

Second place Ipswich beat third place Preston 4-2. Ipswich are now 7 points clear of Preston.
 
Just gone top of the championship with a 97th minute winner.
 
I can’t decide whether I want Ipswich to go up automatically or not. The positive is it would stop Leeds going up automatically. The negative is we (Southampton) could the face Leeds in the play off final and to lose to them in that game would be horrendous.
 
He’s done a terrific job there. And should be good for promotion at the weekend, you would think they can get a point at home vs doomed Huddersfield. But football is a funny old game!

Then if they do get promotion, will be interesting to see how he does in the EPL. Had a burgeoning reputation when he came to us from Spurs but that was perhaps sullied a little by his spell here. Good to see him bouncing back.
 
I want them to come up it's not a new face for the premier league but it's a club we haven't seen in the league for a very long time.

Be a fantastic achievement for McKenna and the club if they manage to do it.

As for the other teams obviously I hope Leeds blow it and then blow it in the playoffs to and for some reason I now hope Southampton don't come back up :p. They can have a proper south coach derby with Portsmouth next season.
