🚨🚜 Ipswich Town are set to seal the agreement with Gary O’Neill as new head coach.
All done with formal steps to follow as O’Neill and RC Strasbourg are set to part ways soon.
#ITFC agreed terms with O’Neill.
I’d rather O’Neil than OGS as he has actually kept a team near the bottom up but still not an appointment I’m overly happy with or excited about, of course I’ll back him though, recruitment has to be bang on now can’t afford to have any misses #itfc
OGS would be a very lazy appointment imo, gets the job based on being McKennas mate, had an average 6 month stint at Besiktas in the last 5 years, haven’t seen a good word said about Gary O’Neil from fans of any of the teams he’s managed #itfc
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Gary O'Neil are among the leading candidates to become manager at Ipswich Town via @nickmashiter & @sistoney67#ITFC

@clintmarcel Then the last job you can judge him on he left 5 years ago, that’s a long gap in management. Why do you think it would be a great appointment? Because I can’t think of any reason as to why he would be, at Man Utd he came across as a good man manager that isn’t what we need
📰 Kieran McKenna will step down as Ipswich Town Manager after five seasons at the club.
Kieran has made the decision to step away from football management and dedicate time to his family, having been at the forefront of one of the most successful eras in the club’s history.
@fulhamjohn1@davejohnhunt24@FfcLucan When we went up to the prem first time round he was rumoured to leave but signed a new contract which at the time was said to be 5M a year, so 3-4M would be a pay cut
@DaveMcLaughli20@followthetowen@itfcrg Sunderland were a similar standard to all 3, spent shit loads of money and got to a level good enough to stay up, also we spent around 120m when we went up last time just spent terribly, Sunderland spent 150m, both probably could’ve spent more, Hull can do the same
@followthetowen@itfcrg 100% definitely the least ready of the 3 of us going up but with an owner like him you never know what’s going to happen, just hope we get all of our business done by the first game, can’t have players not having a pre season at the club again
@followthetowen@itfcrg Their owner is nuts, openly stated he will spend shit loads when they get promoted, I don’t think they’re as big of a certainty as everyone thinks
