Supporters Share Messages for Ipswich Manager Kieran McKenna on Three-Year Anniversary

To mark Kieran McKenna’s three-year tenure as Ipswich manager, individuals were invited to share what they would communicate to him if given the opportunity. Below are some of the responses received: Johnathan expressed gratitude, stating, “All I would say is thank you! He’s brought life and hope to the club again. Perfect man for us. I hope he never leaves.” Charlie highlighted McKenna’s managerial prowess, adding that “it should also be mentioned how likeable and humble you are. Never making excuses (despite us being one of the worst hit teams by injury) and always being respectful of the opposition – you help to paint ITFC in a great light.” Matt praised McKenna, stating, “Kieran you have been a breath of fresh air and have brought the club back to where it deserves to be.” He then posed a question regarding how to maximize Sammie Szmodics’ potential, suggesting, “I think he’s an out and out number 10 and a prolific goal scorer. I don’t see him as a left winger.” Matt also commented, “I think Jack Taylor has been great whenever he has played. I think he should start.” Sammy identified a key trait as “not letting the emotions take over and making drastic changes when things get tough,” and inquired, “How do you keep professional and using knowledge in high stress times instead of acting on impulse as so many do?” Dan admitted, “I was so wrong to doubt the positive impact you’d have when you first took on the role. We couldn’t have asked for a better manager to steer the ship. Know that all real fans of the club are behind you whatever happens this season.” He concluded with a request: “P.S please sign Cajuste on a permanent deal.” Gareth questioned, “Were you really considering leaving the club in the summer or was it just media propaganda stirring things up?”
