[Albion] Kieran McKenna

[Shooting Star]

...and they all did join them, so their "arrogance" was clearly justified.

It's just a fact, we're a much bigger club than Ipswich, just like Chelsea are a much bigger club than us.

We're not. We're of comparable size and their history is more illustrious than ours.

They have also spent a fair few years in the top flight and played in Europe (I think). Wouldn’t say it’s anywhere near obvious. We might be more attractive at the minute

They were last in the Premier League 23 years ago..

 

[Machiavelli]

Are we?

Let me put it differently. We've got loads of money. They haven't.

 

[Bigtk]

They've spent 4 of the last 5 seasons in League One, we're clearly a much bigger club currently.

“BBC Sport understands that one manager on Brighton's list to replace De Zerbi is likely to be Kieran McKenna, who has just won promotion to the Premier League with Ipswich.”

I’ve watched quite a few of their games this season following Sarmiento. The football REALLY reminds me of Dezerbiball.

2 good seasons . Not enough evidence

Hope we have something more exciting lined up

Ipswich are a bigger club by far but like anything money talks . Would we have the money to tempt him

By what metric? I swear half of NSC think they're still living in the 90s.

Can't see him walking away from a bunch of lads, he has just achieved back to back promotions with. Be a bit of a shitty think to do and I cant see it happening tbh. Ipswich are every bit as big a club as Brighton, as anyone over 40yrs old will testify.

Haha they’ve won the league , won the fa cup , won the European cup , had 28 seasons in the top league . Been in the top 3 of the top league numerous times , played in europe numerous times .

It’s not even a debate , let’s not be arrogant here !

Edit - they’ve not even been in the bottom division !!

 

[mike1901]

Been mentioned a couple times that we will try a go for him.

No smoke without fire but he'll be hard pushed to leave

Think we need a bigger name to attract overseas players. We are no longer Little old Brighton.

Old Etonions bigger than us as well

They are a bigger club overall yes, but are they a bigger club in the years that have & will form Kieran McKenna's career. Not so far.

Come on now, none of those wins occurred in the last 40 years. They haven't even been in the top flight in 20+ years.

Oxford University also won the FA Cup a million years ago, it doesn't mean they're a bigger club than us.

 

[Originunknown]

As highly rated as he is, this would be a bit underwhelming

That’d be UEFA and FA Cup winning Ipswich Town would it? Ipswich are a bigger club than us.

Haha, RDZ left us to join FA Cup winners Clapham Rovers as they're clearly a much bigger club.

43 years ago and 47 years ago respectively.

Oxford University are also FA Cup winners, are they a bigger club than us too yeah?

 

[Cheshire Cat]

Do we really want a lower division manager these days. I thought we aspired higher than the Championship.

 

[Dancin Ninja BHA]

Anyway, away from the 'which team is bigger' sh1t debate.........................

I was told over 6 months ago by a journalist* very much in the know in a face-to-face conversation that KM was at the top of the club's wish list for the next manager in after de Zerbi.

However, with Ipswich's promotion, I personally think we've got little chance as he'll want to stay and complete the project/journey (whatever the current buzzword is!)

*P.S It was a journalist working for a national newspaper NOT Naylor !
