🚨 BREAKING: Chelsea have notified Ipswich Town of their interest in Kieran McKenna, he is their favoured candidate. (@JacobSteinberg) #CFC #justcfc
Effrebo. shocked grin

I read his profile. He is a balance coach in terms of attack and defense.

Kompany and Mr Ikenna getting big moves in the same window
Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Club World Cup Champions 2025-2029 by Nobody: 10:42am On May 23, 2024
Ipswich town 2019/20 10th
2020/21 9th
21/22 December before hiring McKenna from united, they were 12th, he did win seven of his first 10 matches, keeping seven clean sheets during that run and eventually setting a club record of 559 minutes without letting in a goal. And finishing a point here than the previous season, but 11th.


Then his first full season in charge as a manager, they won promotion finishing highest scoring, high points only 3 points from winning league one and lowest goals conceeded.

Not to speak of game changing goals to go from beind to win.

He carried this into championship, where they finished just one point difference to winning the league, toping championship scoring chart with 92goals while conceeding 57, not the best defence but top three because of McKenna's tactics.


If he repeats that same "trick" with Chelsea who basically like Poch said are mid table, underdogs we could finish top 3 next season. Problem is players moral is probably low due to losing not just games, top four, EFL cup but also Pochetinno.


McKenna using 4-2-3-1 as well, hopefully he brings in Ipswich LB or Chilwell stays fit and performs

lol it's funny how people now praise Arsenal and Arteta some seasons ago he was trash he couldn't even be compared to Lampard but what Arteta received Lampard didn't, time and listening hears of the board and resources.

Well Arsenal were never a firing club per say. But I don't Bayern considered kompany's past season but his previous seasons in lower divisions, after all Bayern have a great squad in a weak league that should be easy even for Xabi to work magic why not Kompany. Even at that it's a first, to see a big club hire a manager from a relegated team that couldn't even put up a fight. But this football experts see something or else it has got to be the Pep influence.
Una go just dey cap carelessly with full confidence.

When was Lampard ever a better manager than Arteta?

Lampard took over a team that Sarri had just used to trash Arsenal in the Europa league final in 2019; Guess what he did with that team? He used that team to lose against Arteta's team in FA cup final 2020. That was Arteta winning his first cup less than one year of taking over at Arsenal.

Lampard was never a better manager than Arteta at any point in time. Lampard was a great football player , but a shitty manager. Everyone at Chelsea knows this, those at Everton know this as well.

You suddenly forgot Chelsea lost Hazard and we couldn't sign replacement because of transfer ban yet lampard made it to top 4 with academy players.

Well, Lampard did well in the championship before he was considered. Remember, it was Lampard that used Mount on loan from Chelsea and made him a regular player in Chelsea due to ban.

It's sad because the one player Lampard wanted and was vocal about it was Declan Rice. And that's because as good as Lampard is in attack his defence was an issue and a weakness something that was exposed the next season and Tuchel fixed in a way to win UCL.

It's sad Lampard never fixed that his poor defence tactics, I hope he gets to work under a top manager and learns.

Kompany did not only do well in the Championship, but won it. Guess what he did in the EPL? yes u guessed right, he has successfully relegated the same team.

Anybody can be the Pep Guardiola of the Championship, it is what u do managing a team in the EPL that people will use to judge u.

Even dead broke barka is going to hire flick after realizing how mid gbavi has finished them, the same man who flogged them 8-2 but we are looking to sign kadiri Ikhena who has not even managed in the premier league. Can these our working boys even respect him with all their big salaries knowing his cv? I don tire for these owners.

Nevertheless, Kompany took Anderlecht to 3rd position in the Belgium pro league and cup final though he lost it.

That's with a better team. The probability he will do well in Germany is positive.

McKenna is actually a very good coach. Arguably the best academy coach we have had in a really long time. It is just funny seeing Chelsea fans twisting and turning in their attempts to extract some positivity from his appointment. An appointment they would have mocked us for if we had made the move.

I don’t have a problem with Kompany , if he will do well in Germany or not remains to be seen. I only pointed it out to u that doing well in the Championship doesn’t mean u will be a good manager in the EPL or any top league .

Bayern is the biggest team in Germany the pressure to always perform is very high and this one they just lost the league it would be higher. I think they just hired kompany as a stop gap after everybody even siasia was rejecting them left and right cause I want to know the special thing he did in Burnley. Somebody that is stubborn like de zerbi with defending.

I pointed out why Chelsea hired Lampard in the first place.

Just two factors. He did well in Championship and he's a Chelsea legend. So, we can't say he was trash as at the time he was employed. He even finished top 4 and lost final of a cup. That's not bad at all compares with Kompany fisrt season in EPL.

He's a good coach with potential that shouldn't be at a top club at the moment probably one of these mid table sides or in another country learning. This appointment is just the directors looking for a puppet to control and take any decisions made without questioning. He might succeed in the future like some of our young prospects who are gradually developing with game time but the question is will they give him time for his own project especially as he won't have much say in transfer business. These are the same guys who hired potter and fired him in under a year.

Time is an essential factor but unfortunately Chelsea doesn't tolerate average performance that's why lampard was sacked and arteta is still arsenal manager for 5 fucking years without a major trophy.

I agree with you 100%. I don't think he should take the job or even the United job. He should go to a club like Brighton first and wet his beak.

He is a really good coach with potential, but everybody can't be Pep.

Where was Arteta when Lampard led Derby to championship playoff? I think he was just an assistant coach with no achievement of his own hence it's save to save Lampard was better than him at some point.

A rookie manager wins FA cup in his first season as as a first team coach. A rookie manager led a team to playoffs in the championship and lost.

So in ur world the one that lost Championship playoffs was better than the one that actually won a cup in his first season on the job ?

Omo! People dey this world o. Even Lampard will not regard himself as the better of the two

Even apari had great tools when Barca brought from the academy that's why he'll always credit Messi for his career. This one we have nothing similar to that team even our best player palmer can't be compared to Messi in anything. I even thought ikenna would be smart to reject our advances but he wants to fast track his career which might make him fall into the same trap as potter. Even Eddie Howe spent a considerable amount of time with Bournemouth both in the lower leagues and premier league before Newcastle signed him. You people should just be thankful we have bigger clowns in charge.
See me thinking affliction will not rise again.
