His name has come up but I can't see him leaving you if he's
just got you promoted surely he'll stay and reap the rewards of
a successful season. Marco Rose appears to be the favourite
candidate. I'd be happy with him.

hi,
sad news for Bournemouth - he's done a fantastic job there
[emoji4]
mind you, an increasing number at the emirates would be happy to
see him displace the current incumbent who seems determined to
snatch defeat from the jaws of victory again this season
[emoji35]
regards,
gnr

To be fair to Kieran McKenna, his loyalty to Ipswich has stood
the test of time during his tenure so far. I recall Chelsea, Man
Utd and Brighton were heavily linked to him immediately after
our double promotion but he signed a new contract with us.
Crystal Palace and Tottenham have been linked previously and
even more recently during the summer and latter part of last
year, Celtic and Rangers have him on their shortlist too.
His time at the club is approaching 4 and a half years now and
if we do go up I sincerely hope he stays but if he does end up
going to Bournemouth I wouldn’t be as appeased if he went to
some of the others he’s been linked with. It’s a great club who
I’m sure have great ambitions (and the South Coast is a lovely
place to live too).

Eddie Howe to return to AFCB? Or maybe he'll go to Crystal
Palace who also need to find a new manager for next season.

His name has come up as well unsurprisingly! He will come home
at some point but I’m not sure it would be now, I think he may
have more to achieve before popping on his comfy slippers!
I guess we’ll find out soon enough.

hi,
latest from the bbc 'gossip' column...
Bournemouth are considering Rayo Vallecano boss Inigo Perez,
Coventry City manager Frank Lampard and Ipswich Town boss Kieran
McKenna as they plan for life after Andoni Iraola, who has
decided to leave at the end of the season. (i Sport)

Local press who I would consider more accurate and knowledgeable
about what goes on at our club, have reported talks in an
advanced stage with Marco Rose and named Kieran McKenna and
Eddie Howe as the other 2 on the 3 man shortlist.

As much as I like him he is definitely on borrowed time at
Newcastle. If they finish where they are now, 14th, I've little
doubt he will be replaced.

Agreement in principle made with Marco Rose. Paperwork and visa
application underway. Source our trusty local press! Mark
McAdam.

Still nowt about our manager yet…
Could be an interesting summer….
I personally think Silva has checked out and is heading through
the departure lounge.
I’d love to see Fabregas given a shot at the club, as he’s
always said he’s dreamt of managing in the PL.
