We get rid of Frank to replace him with McKenna? They’d be coming down the High Road with pitchforks and flaming torches.

He'd get good will, as he's one of our own. As long as the football is decent and the tactics competent, people would appreciate the direction of travel had at least been reversed.

I’m not sure it would end up being a good move for him or us at this point. Someday, maybe. He’s got a bit to prove first for me.

A big positive mark is how he's turned Ipswich around this season. Most relegated clubs go into freefall in the championship. They had a little adjustment period, but are flying now. And he's done that whilst losing Delap and Hutchinson

McKenna and Justin Cochrane are pals too - they came through together (with Matt Wells) as coaches during the McDermott/Inglethorpe/Ramsey era

If the board are happy to see TF take charge of the team on Tuesday night they will cost us any chance of a Top 8 finish in the CL.

Looking at the table and everybodys fixtures in the Last 2 sets of games 11pts and GD of +6 is probably enough right now to finish in the Top 24, but we could do without a 2-legged play-off round

Couple of media outlets now linking Hurzeler (Brighton) saying we’ve been impressed by him.

A manager who’s done well at a mid-table club which has established itself in the PL after a number of years of yo-yoing between it and the Championship; and which has done this by having excellent systems and a data-led approach in place.

I mean, what could possibly go wrong?
