McKenna looks like a NO GO.
For those wanting the Ipswich coach their chairman has slapped a £5m exit fee on him.
So with Ange out of work
Knutsen out of contract December
Other candidates also available for pennies
NO WAY will DD pay such a big fee.

how much would it cost to get knutsun now - £1m for 2 month?
28 Oct 2025 19:59:32
Probably True.

Another deeper dimension is what decent manager would want to work under the current regime and for a club, which in a playing context, is a shadow of the club it was?

A manager that believes he has what it takes to get us back playing the football we expect.

Like to think, we would spend the money for the manager the board truly wants.

It's pointless bringing Ange back as we don't have the fullbacks for his system. Tierney can't play inverted which was why he was surplus at Arsenal when they switched to inverted. Ralston, Saracchi can't play it either and Johnston didn't enjoy playing it which was why he seemed vetter when Rodgers turned up as he was playing his more natural position.
Hopefully Ange says thanks but no thanks. Question is if we couldn't get Knutsen in early would people be happy to stick with Mon and Maloney until he's available? I wouldn't mind Terzic, McKenna or Keane (not that one Ed) though.

A forgein manager is more likely to work under the model we have no as the DOF is all the rage in Europe.

Has KT made us predictable, where GT pulled players all over the park?

I think Taylor wanted to stay but wanted better terms offered. Sure his wage at Celtic was 15k a week now he's meant to be on 20k. Not a massive outlay. Yet we are meant to be paying KT 60k?
