The managerial summer trend and why one Kieran McKenna trait ...

Kieran McKenna has gone from a manager given a lot of praise to one given a lot of choices. The Ipswich Town manager has concrete interest from all of Manchester United, Chelsea and Brighton and Hove Albion. There is also the romantic option of just staying at Portman Road now he has returned Premier League football to the stadium, to mimic Xabi Alonso at Bayer Leverkusen.

Now, McKenna already has a lot to think about, before a firm offer even comes in. That’s as everyone else is doing a lot of talking about it, which has caused some agitation around Ipswich.
