DanaHOST
But I'm kind of intrigued by just the human brain and psychology and specifically psychology in the context of football and football management.
DanaHOST
And something that I kind of noted from last season is that when you think about that, it was Frank Lampard's Coventry, it was Kieran McKenna's Ipswich and then Alex Neal's Millwall that were involved in the promotion battle, of course, Tondek at Southampton, but we all know why they were there in the end.
DanaHOST
And Kim was the outlier in this because with Frank Lampard, he's had to deal with high stakes pressure all throughout his career, not only as a player, but as a manager as well.
DanaHOST
He managed Derby in a playoff campaign.
DanaHOST
He managed Chelsea as well in the Premier League.
DanaHOST
With Kieran McKenna, he came from an elite coaching background and he also was embedded into a promotion race and a successful one at Ipswich, both in League One and in the Championship.
DanaHOST
And then got Ipswich promoted again from the Championship to the Premier League last season.
DanaHOST
Alex Neil has had that experience of getting Norwich promoted, unfortunately, at our expense in 2015.
Steve WraithHOST
Is he available? Is he somebody who's going to want to come back? I'm really not sure.
Steve WraithHOST
Who's available out there? Kieran McKenna.
Steve WraithHOST
I mean, he's a name that keeps getting bandied around.
Steve WraithHOST
Is Kieran McKenna the answer? Is Thomas Frank the answer? You know, You know, surely we're not going to go for a Nuno Espirito Santas.
Steve WraithHOST
Is Glasner going to get the push from Forrest? Is he going to be one of those kind of people who gets, you know, gets a chance to jump from club to club? I mean, it's a million dollar question, you know, but I do believe they've made an absolute balls up a point in the Iceland.
Steve WraithHOST
I really do.
Joe WalkerGUEST
Well, it's a generally elite level now.
Joe WalkerGUEST
I mean, even to a year or two ago, like Palace are talking about potential replacements and Kieran McKenna's name's come up.
Joe WalkerGUEST
Kieran McKenna got 22 points with Ipswich two years ago.
Joe WalkerGUEST
And Ipswich already have 11 or 12 points now in November.
Joe WalkerGUEST
It's like... credit to the teams that have come up really, but this year in particular, there just isn't a team that doesn't feel they belong here and therefore head sink when they get hit to a big side or something like that.
Dave HendrickHOST
We just need a manager to get them playing.
Dave HendrickHOST
Kieran McKenna is sitting out there.
Dave HendrickHOST
And he is a very good young coach.
Dave HendrickHOST
Eddie Howe is also sitting out there.
Dave HendrickHOST
We just need a manager to get them playing.
Dave HendrickHOST
Kieran McKenna is sitting out there.
Dave HendrickHOST
And he is a very good young coach.
Dave HendrickHOST
Eddie Howe is also sitting out there.
James MurrayHOST
Well, it looks like they're gonna turn to Scott Parker, um, to take the reins there.
James MurrayHOST
Uh, he was linked in recent weeks alongside the likes of Kieran McKenna and Rob Edwards.
James MurrayHOST
An agreement's now in place with Parker, who, um, obviously knows the club well.
James MurrayHOST
He's got a very strong track record, uh, of promotion from the Championship as well.
Ger LynchHOST
Julian Nagelsmann whose stock might be slightly lower after his bizarre selection policy for Germany and their World Cup.
Ger LynchHOST
Nuno Espirito Santo has just been sacked by West Ham but somebody will gamble on him at some point this season as well although a lot of people think he needs to take a break Thomas Frank sacked by Spurs in February so he might be ready to come back into football as well he obviously was on TV recently as well so he's getting his name back out there and then Kieran McKenna who left Ipswich in June and you would imagine well There's probably two on that list I think you could see going to one club that wear red and black and then the rest of them.
Ger LynchHOST
Who knows? But from a Manchester United perspective, Kieran McKenna's obviously got a connection to them.
Ger LynchHOST
Antonio Conte says he wants the job.
Ger LynchHOST
Julian Nagelsmann will be very much a Manchester United style appointment.
Chad WilliamsHOST
Yeah.
Chad WilliamsHOST
So Kieran McKenna is an interesting one.
Chad WilliamsHOST
Because he was part of the United before.
Chad WilliamsHOST
The team was in before or something.
Marvin DawsonGUEST
Yeah, they were interested in him before the Carrick.
Marvin DawsonGUEST
Yeah, so before the Carrick, before he got into him, They were talking about, the club's too big.
Marvin DawsonGUEST
The club's too big for him, for Kieran McKenna.
Marvin DawsonGUEST
No chance.
Ross HallsHOST
He's another player who's involved in the goals and stuff like that.
Ross HallsHOST
Another player that has just come back from injury who was the star player in the team is Tommy Taylor, who was actually on the bench a few times under Kieran McKenna in the last Premier League season.
Ross HallsHOST
He unfortunately... missed the start of the season because of injury he had a few loans as well um but he's just come back from injury and so i'm looking forward to seeing him back in action on a regular basis but um yeah it's a it's a good young squad although i've had a few injuries um fun i say fun enough it's not fun enough uh sad to see that um leon elliott who's sort of one of the starring right backs he's going to be out injured for the next three months of a hamstring injury which is not not ideal when you're sort of you know, plan week in, week out and stuff like that.
Ross HallsHOST
So, yeah, I'm sure Stu's going to enjoy it, just maybe under less pressure than sort of men's games.
Craig BeazleyHOST
But I want to go back to the season where you were relegated to championship after a dramatic rise to the premier league from playing against Bracknell town.
Craig BeazleyHOST
Wasn't it in the FA cup? It's incredible rise all the way to the top flight under Kieran McKenna.
Craig BeazleyHOST
You win against AFC Bournemouth.
Craig BeazleyHOST
Actually, I was having a look at it.
Matt HarrisonGUEST
So victories were few and far between.
Matt HarrisonGUEST
So yeah, yeah, we remember it really well.
Craig BeazleyHOST
But I remember under Kieran McKenna that season, you did play an exciting brand of football.
Craig BeazleyHOST
It was a football that wasn't ugly, wasn't scrappy.
