?? Chelsea reportedly turned him down. Man Utd changed their mind after ETH won the FA Cup against all odds - but its plausible that he would have taken the role there - and for all we know Albion might well have baulked at personal terms (probably ££ - he's secured a massive pay increase from...

ha ! getting Potter arrival confused with Potter departure. Either way . its hard to argue that the club already that somehow the club have left it too late.

Correlation / Causation...

I think we know what Roberto wants. A big say in transfers, a push back against Albion's model and public come get me with the elite clubs . It's a no no. Thats why he didn't get very far with Chelsea.

Yes. But there was a bit more urgency for both of those - as we were in the middle of seasons with matches and training to be done. Sure - wrapping this up soon is important but Transfer window doesn't even open for a fortnight, and pre season with the players is a month away. .

We don't know for certain that the club had one manager and one manager only in its basket and that was McKenna although its obvious we, like others, were interested. Perhaps like Chelsea , we were impressed, but when spoke to him, we passed as other option(s) were stronger or , unlike when we...

Ha! Done up like a kipper !

Not quite what happened. Chelsea interviewed him …and turned him down. Perhaps we did too.

Or we weren’t convinced.

Potter - the sequel - feels be a Moyes style return. No reason why he wouldn't be successful - regular places in Europe, a trophy maybe - but the fans, at least some of them - still miserable.

Perhaps McKenna showed his leg to Chelsea, Man Utd and Brighton and they all concluded that - as it happens - "now was the wrong time for a novice" . So he went back to Portman Road to count his money instead.

You know how I keep saying it’s going to be McKenna . I actually meant he’s staying at Ipswich and it was always going to be Graham after all…ha ha. That @dwayne called it !

If you mean Albion are going to walk away cos McKenna will have some unpalatable contract demands - then maybe - but unlikely since (it’s reported - multiple reports ) they’re now looking to close the deal.

The independent had this last night. And HITC confirmed it this morning. It’s McKenna.

If you believe the betting markets - McKenna is now favourite for both Man Utd and Albion (Potter was briefly favourite for a day or so last week)

And Chelsea plump for Maresca https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2024/05/27/enzo-maresca-chelsea-leicester-new-manager-boehly-mckenna/

I'm more half full when it comes to Milner. The few games he played last season i thought he added an extra bit of class, and strength to the team - eg: Spurs. . in short doses and of course he struggled with injuries. He's remarkably fit for 39. He'll be useful in the dressing room too for any...

As above . Albion are "confident" of getting their man. "hope" to have it wrapped up this week. Says HITC/Graeme Bailey. Not far off other reports (eg: The Independent) that came out last night...

Caicedo's Albion PL record is P:45 W: 23 D : 10 L : 12

Its hard to believe. If he continues playing to end of next season - he'll only be a few months shy of 40. He's 4 months older than that Kieran McKenna.
