In your opinion?

I suppose Cambiasso was texting instructions to Claudio all the way through the title winning season too.

Well that was pointless then.

Well we could never offer him what Chelsea can, so should we just give him something similar to Brendan?

[ALC Fox]

I really liked some of the football we were able to play last season. When we clicked we really did dominate teams. But, there were some obvious downs and question marks over whether it was Enzo or not who dragged us over the line.

 

It's way too early in his career to say definitively that losing him would be like losing a Pep or Klopp early in their careers. He has a lot to prove. I'll be sad to see him go but there are managers out there who will give us a good shot at staying up, whatever the playing style.

He's got us up.

 

We'd get smashed week in and week out tapping it around the back of he stayed.

 

We don't have the budget for the players required.

 

Not that bothered he is leaving to be honest.

We beat Bournemouth and took Chelsea very close, maybe his style is better suited to the Prem

Chelsea very close? Did you watch the same game?

[Samilktray]

Feel quite sad about this, always came across as a decent principled bloke who understood the importance of the fans. Hope he does well 

[FLAN]

The only downside is we’ve probably signed vestergaard up and not many managers would want him at this level 

[Beechey]

wonder if we get much for his staff as well

Enzo has done what was asked of him but does his style keep us up. Plenty on here saying he should have gone after Plymouth away and plenty moaning about a lack of a plan B and saying he will be gone by Xmas if he stays here. A case of out of the frying pan and into the fire but if he goes to Chelski good luck as he will need it. Anyone going to put an argument for the style we played last year with our squad will work in the premiership as looks a big ask to me. Plenty of decent managers about with the added bonus that if things go wrong a possible points deduction and cash shortage gives a ready made excuse. It looks likely he will go so a nice little compo payments hitting the accounts is a positive. Next season has not even started and plenty on here all doom and gloom

It’s a shame he’s jumping ship but it’s totally understandable.

Enzo would over complicate things and stick with champagne football with lemonade players.

 

For next season, given our problems, we just need to do the basics and grind out points, even if it's not pretty.

 

Next season is just about survival and I really don't think Enzo would achieve it.

Probably not a lot more I would imagine maybe £1m tops 

[Jonezy]

All the best to him from me. He came and did the job and I am thankful for that. But in rough times, I was not impressed; not using the squad, persistent with the tactics and weird takes in interviews. Kudos for connecting with the fans and make the squad believe again.

[adejo92]

I mean, it took Jamie Vardy to arrange a player only meeting to turn our form around and ultimately ensure promotion

Wouldn't call it jumping ship.

He's being offered a job at one of the richest clubs in world football, it'd be stupid to reject the chance. 

[ronnup]

I genuinely think that the pressing from Premier league teams would have seen us getting in a tangle. We couldn't afford to strengthen the squad enough to play his way in the Prem. 10 mill and the opportunity for something new is ok for me. 

 

If he takes anyone, I think it'd be Mads

Did it, or is that one of those “common knowledge” things?

By staff maybe he'll take Jon Rudkin

Dont be naive.

There is little loyalty in football nowadays.

It's mostly about the $$$.

He wont have ANY loyalty to us, he will just see us as a stepping stone.

 

Sacked by Xmas hopefully  for them👍🏾

McKenna has shown loyalty. It does exist. I have no issue with being used as a stepping stone but after 1 season? Not having that, we should expect better as fans, I’m sure the players that have worked hard under him, players like Winksy will be surprised and disappointed. I agree with your Xmas prediction though!

you’d expect your club captain to be doing exactly that. 
 

 Besides, how can a manager arrange a players only meeting?!

Has he though? If Chelsea offered McKenna the deal I'm fairly certain he'd have gone

Rudkin better be driving a hard bargain for the compensation.

 

 

Anyone know if the printer/scanner/fax machine in the background of this picture was replaced?

McKenna has more sense than go to Chelsea. NO manager is a long term success there. 2 years at best, most last less than a year.

It’s reported Chelsea rejected him, they preferred Enzo.

Whatever. Seen so much in my 50 years  time. If he wants out then laters.  Doubt very much he'll do much at Chelsea tbh. Unless he finishes top 4 he's a failure and look at the competition.  With us it's a mid table playing nice football.  Penny wise pound stupid.  Crack on if you want.
