Quote from: Milltown Row2 on Today at 12:32:00 PMThat's my point. They took the big chance, and even with flunking in it, their set for life.Quote from: trueblue1234 on Today at 12:29:23 PMQuote from: jcpen on Today at 11:25:57 AMThere will always be exceptions. And I'd say that is more to do with kompany's rep than his managerial achievements.Quote from: trueblue1234 on Today at 11:17:57 AMVincent Kompany just got relegated with Burnley and looks to be on his way to Bayern Munich now!Quote from: Ethan Tremblay on Today at 11:13:40 AMWould McKenna risk his reputation going to United or Chelsea at the moment with the state they are both in? Both are a poisoned chalice.If he doesn't take a big job now, and Ipswich struggle next year, which is likely, He may never get an option of a big job again. Expectations are prob low for both United and Chelsea now so you'd like to think he'll get 2 years without much agro given the starting point.
He has done a brilliant job getting Ipswich successive promotions, and there would be little expectations of Ipswich in the PL next year, survival probably the height of it.
If he had any sense, he should bide his time before going for the bigger job. United are still going to be in some sort of disarray next season, and Ten Heg going is a matter 'when' rather than 'if' at this point.
If he had sense he should let Ten Heg absorb and resolve some of the issues over the next few months (clear out players etc) rather than jump into a mess he has not created, and get trashed for it.
He could go to either and regardless of how they do, he will be financially in a different place. Even if they ditch him before the end of the contract.
Look at Moyles. Can't see him getting another big job (top 5/6). While good managers can have huge impact, There are so many variables in that role(some outside your control) that a bit of bad luck could see you failing very quickly. I'd just rather, that if that happened, I was financially set up for life.
This what happens when you don't do well!
