Ipswich news: Kieran McKenna’s name ‘will be bandied about’

Former Premier League striker Glenn Murray is unsure whether Kieran McKenna will remain at Ipswich Town next season as he is likely to be on the radar of other clubs this summer.

Reflecting on Ipswich’s fight to stay in the top-flight this season and what could lie ahead for them next season, Murray told BBC Radio 5 Live’s Football Daily podcast: “I think McKenna’s name will be bandied about this summer for other jobs.

“Even though he does have a specific style of play, I do feel like he he has tried to adapt it in the Premier League compared to how he set them up in League One and the Championship.

“When you zoom out from this season, he has done an absolutely unbelievable job at Ipswich. So regardless of whether he is their manager or not next season, I think he will always be remembered fondly.

“Of the three promoted teams, Ipswich made the best go of it. They did some good business in the transfer window and Liam Delap was a great signing.

“They might struggle to keep hold of him, but if they can the nucleus of that squad together then they will be right up at the top of the Championship table next season.

“Whether McKenna will be in charge, I don’t know.”
