” disrespect” – Pundit questions Kieran McKenna leaving Ipswich Town .

Carlton Palmer has given FLW his prediction for Kieran McKenna’s future at Ipswich, amid Brighton links.
Kieran McKenna of Ipswich Town has been linked with Brighton’s management job.

According to Ed Aarons, the Seagulls will certainly try to entice the Northern Irishman to go to the Amex Stadium.

Roberto de Zerbi revealed his exit from the Premier League club last weekend, fueling concerns about McKenna’s future at Portman Road.
The 38-year-old has received a lot of plaudits for his performance with the Suffolk club, leading them to back-to-back promotions from League One to the top level.
Ipswich are ready for their first top-flight season since 2002, after finishing second in their first year back in the Championship.

Carlton Palmer makes Kieran McKenna future prediction

Carlton Palmer has claimed that McKenna will only consider a move away from the Tractor Boys if it is to move to one of the top clubs in the country, such as Liverpool or Manchester United.

He believes that the switch to Brighton will not tempt McKenna given the backing he has received from the owners at Ipswich.

“It’s believed Brighton are set to make an approach to Ipswich Town for Kieran McKenna to replace the departing de Zerbi,” Palmer told Football League World.

“Like I’ve said before, I don’t see Kieran McKenna leaving Ipswich Town to go to Brighton, no disrespect.

“Kieran McKenna’s done a fantastic job, back-to-back promotions, he’s in the Premier League, his owners are very wealthy, they’ve backed him, they’ve supported him.

“I think they’ll continue to support him, continue to back him, so I really can’t see him leaving unless he gets a top job and it seems the Liverpool job is gone now.

The Town boss has been the subject of serious interest from Premier League sides

“If Manchester United come knocking, you’d see him going there.

“It’s got to be for a top job, we’ve seen the West Ham job’s gone.

“It’s only the Liverpools, the Chelseas, the Manchester Uniteds and all of those jobs.

“I suppose the only one that may come up for grabs, we don’t know, we’ll have to see, is the Manchester United job, with [Erik] Ten Hag.

“Which, again, I think Ten Hag should be given one more season and given the backing and the infrastructure and the help from the new regime, Sir Jim Ratcliffe, he should be given the opportunity to see how he does.

“In a word, I don’t see Kieran McKenna leaving Ipswich to go to Brighton.

“I think he still wants to continue the journey that he’s doing with Ipswich and see how he fares in the Premier League with them.”
