How’s your rollercoaster ride, it seems stuck in one position, tell a lie, I think you dropped a place when Palace won, anyway, back to my comment. Which part do you disagree with, Delap being sold or McKenna gone, hence the question, if you get relegated will your board stick with a Championship coach with experience of promotion or realise he is not ready for the PL before then and try to salvage the season. Lunatics escaping, it was fun reading your excitement in the shaping up nicely and let the links begin threads, the signings many said were “Championship standard” and you now slowly whining about them in the match day threads. At least you’ll get your first three points against Leicester, enjoy them and the rollercoaster ride you pretend you are on
We have every confidence that we will get a win, and start getting points, especially once our injured players (8 at last count) return. And McKenna and Delap will both stay. Up in Suffolk we have such a thing as loyalty, club spirit and commitment.
I think we'll stay with McKenna even if we get relegated. Back-to-back promotions means we're competing in the Premier League with a majority of the squad that was playing third division football two years ago. So survival was always going to be a massive ask. The board will back Kieran to get promoted next season - if we do go down - where we'll hopefully have a more tried-and-tested squad (with some of the younger players in their prime) ready to give a better account of ourselves next time around. Obviously that strategy hinges on an immediate promotion back to the top flight, which is much easier said than done. If we go down and start slowly in the Championship, the pressure will be on McKenna. I can't see a better manager available to us in the near future. He's achieved incredible things in a short space of time. He's intelligent, knowledgeable, and has been improving as a manager here. We'll stick by him. In an age of parachute payments though, an immediate promotion does become easier. It's not guaranteed of course, as Leeds found out last season.
I agree, with the players and backing Farke had, and considering we took 12 out of 12 points from the two teams finishing top, Farke under achieved. If we go up this season we’ll have few to zero players good enough for the PL so it will be interesting. I do believe coaches have their own limitations though, I don’t believe Farke is a PL manager, the jury is out on McKenna. I see so many similarities after a defeat, your fans moaning about a certain player in a certain position or team selection/formation The true fact is established teams can spend £40m on a player and if it doesn’t work out they don’t overly care, each season that passes it gets harder to break into a top 10 team
He hasn't been in the job 3 years yet. We have had a fantastic time since he has been in charge. We bottomed out 14th Feb 2023 with a goalless draw away at Bristol Rovers. After that it has just been onwards and upwards. I think you did point out somewhere previously that we would have a tough time in the Premier League. I am confident that KM will sort it out and we will get a few wins.
