Andy Goldstein QUESTIONS If Kieran McKenna LACKS AMBITION For Turning Down Man UTD & Chelsea?! 👀🤔 

He leaves: "No loyalty" He stays: "No ambition" 🤦

How do you turn down a job you weren’t offered???

2 weeks ago no one would even mention McKenna as Utd manager and now the narrative is he lacks ambition??? The media has to be better than this.

Goldstein needs to realise Man Utd are not what they used to be, still living in the 90s

mcKenna is being smart.. Potter jumped ship as soon as a big club came calling, now he’s been avoided like Voldermort’s most wanted

He was on £1.2m before and they haven’t just trebled the wage, they’ve 5x the wage, his new offer is just over £5m a year making him the 6th highest paid premier league manager - that’s why he stayed!

Ipswich has the best back room management in the country. Putting the club on a level that is next level. McK thrives with that backing next season will be amazing. A few loan players and a couple of choice signings.

Talksport segment planning: Takes the job: "is he ready for the job?" / "Has he betrayed Ipswich fans?" Doesn't take the job and stays: "does he lack ambition?"

Andy dresses from the 90s, his views are from the 90s and his football knowledge is from the 90s. Why would he go to Manchester? It's career suicide, I've got a lot of respect for him signing the new contract

The Utd and Chelsea jobs are way too early for McKenna. If he keeps Ipswich up he'll have done well.

And if he went now and failed Goldstein would be the first to say he was always out of his depth🤡. From an Argyle fan, Well done Kieren for staying loyal to Ipswich.

More like has brains because why would he dump the team he built since league one not to have at least one season in the premier league with them.

Kompany gets the Bayern job after Burnely gets relegated. McKenna get the Utd job after Ipswich gets relegated. It’s written in the stars.

Andy has really turned into Adrian Durham, playing devil's advocate for the clickbait points all the time now.

Lol should be praising the bloke showing loyalty

Think back in Ipswich history. Sir Alr Ramsey brought them up old Div 1 and won the title then left for England. Rest history as they say. McKenna still has (tractor boys) potatoes to sow at Ipswich.

Guy shows some loyalty he lacks ambition cant win 😂😂

It's probably the opposite. He's probably spoken to Man Utd and is looking to join further down the line

Some serious eye brow action going on here 😂

I disagree with Darren about playing for survial. Why not play for top 10, thats the point isnt it?

McKenna saw the leaking OT roof and understood it's better to say "no". The roof at Portman Road doesn't leak.

The culture at Ipswich has changed thanks to the CEO, and Mark Steed, Ed Schwartz and the 1st responders who are bankrolling the club in AZ, and you can see it in the playing style - this whole idea of running towards adversity that has become the ethos at the club and is evident in how we play - the amount of times we came from behind to draw, win, or come close... Yeah it would be crazy to hope for a top 6 finish but look at the trajectory we're on. Our objective was to get safe last season and we finished 2nd, one point off winning the Championship. McKenna has coached players into something else - look at Omari, Lief Davis - they talk about McKenna opening up different sides to their game, and whilst our team still comprises of players we bought in league one, we have big cash reserves, a top- top coach, a dynamic playing style... real world challenges are fuel, not obstacles, so I think it's crazier to put a ceiling on Ipswich.

That's called loyalty Andy

Hang on here...Why put out the narrative of lack of Ambition. I dont know much about Ipswich but I feel well done Mkenna for loyalty or even just wanting to see how he and his group of players can perform in the top lg.

Ipswich massive club forty years ago good luck Bobby Robson will be so proud

Who says he turned them down?.

McKenna and Ipswich will stay up. Southampton, Leicester and Forest are in trouble. I'd like Forest to stay up but Nuno isnt doing a good job defensively.

Goldstein always trying to dig Chelsea lmao

Andy Goldstein questioning Kieran McKenna's ambition for turning down Manchester United and Chelsea is like asking if a gourmet chef lacks ambition for skipping fast food chains-sometimes quality over brand matters!

That Jim Whyte impression was terrible .

Bro went to the same barber as Lescot 😂😂😂

Having ambition means not going to a club like United!

He didn't turn them down though, nothing was offered. STOP LYING

When exactly did he turn down United and Chelsea? I must have missed this incredible article.

McKenna showed loyalty to Ipswich not a lack of ambition witch makes a change in football

If Ipswich get relegated, TalkSport will argue that Kompany is proof McKenna still deserves a top job; even after laughing at Bayern. If Maresca gets top four, TalkSport will argue that Pochettino would have probably won the league if he stayed, and would be minimum top four anyway. Sometimes TalkSport logic is like arguing with the missus.

He’s young. Why take a chance of Chelsea and probably get sacked or go UTD and have to deal with the insane pressure. Good decision.

Disagree with Goldstein completely. Would far rather have Maresca than Mckenna.

I think football tends to reward fresh ideas and managers who move with the game. This is why the trend is towards 37, 38, 39 year old managers. Wenger was a brilliant manager but he refused to adapt as the game changed and he got left in the dirt. Same could be said of Mourinho. Just because your methods won you trophies 5-10 years ago doesn't mean those same methods will win you trophies now.

These magic transfer gurus! Ipswich were trying to keep this new deal a secret.

Caller: i think we'll finished more than mid table. Benty: 10th , 11th??? As in bent thinks 10th and 11th are higher than mid table

Who says HE turned them down...my goodness.

He doesn’t lack ambition but what he has is common sense. Looking after Ipswich v the egos of Chelsea or Man U players is a no-brainier. Look what happened to Graham Potter.

Goldstein is another woeful Talksport pundit , Jeff Stelling is top, Goldestein turns me off Talksport.

Called Loyalty and why rush when so young. Clickbait again

He did the right thing, it’s not lack of ambition, it’s common sense

When Gerrard and Potter left Rangers and Brighton for Aston Villa and Chelsea, respectively, and then did not succeed, the same pundits argued that it was too early for them to have joined such big clubs.

He doesn't want to go through what Ten Hag has to endure.

I love this new guy

He's only 38. He's done the most respectable thing of choosing to gain more experience obviously believing that his time for bigger jobs will come.

We have super kieran mckenna Ipswich Town fc premiership amazing team spirit 👏

He doesn’t lack ambition. He’s using common sense and realises it’s not the right time for that type of move in his career. He’s done well where he is and wants a go in the prem.

Quite the opposite. It would be way to leave Ipswich now so he doesn’t have a possible relegation on his CV when he does eventually leave. It shows he wants to build something, keep them in the league and establish them as a mainstay before he moves on. It would too easy for him to just move on to a massive club like United, or established PL clubs like Chelsea or even Brighton. It’s too easy to leave and improve Chelsea, who look to be improving anyway, and then there’s the fact that he’d likely get sacked if he doesn’t win anything in his first year!! He’s better off at Ipswich for now.

To show ambition, you don't go to UTD or Chelsea where you could be out of a job by the end of the season. Why would a manager who took a club up from the championship not want to manage said club in the Prem? If he does well next season, a top club might even come in for him.

Way too soon for a bigger move, needs to develop and learn more and become the best possible manager he can be. Doesn't want to be another Graham Potter lol

Hes won back to back promotions..hes nothing to lose with Ipswich

It's a no win scenario, if he leaves he has no loyalty and if he stays he has no ambition, I'm glad he's staying, hopefully he can build something special at Ipswich.

Let’s discount chelsea. They choose someone else. Let’s discount Man Utd. They still have a manager and seem in no rush. So that leaves Brighton. What does Brighton have that’s better than Ipswich? Slightly longer in the Prem and maybe a few more better players. But will they stay there? Will they improve? Will they keep buying the right player? How much say would the manager have in a new club. They sold most of their best prospects. They only have a couple left. Ipswich might improve more than people think. McKenna has more say right now. If Ipswich stay up, he’ll be in exactly the same place. Brighton are not much better than Ipswich. It’s swapping at promoted side for a team that’s lower mid table that may or may not struggle. McKenna wins plaudits by staying.

He didnt turn united down lol , why pundit create spin out of nothing , I hear they met with his representatives but didnt take it further with McKenna for whatever reason

One average season elsewhere and the last two would be considered a flash in the pan. KM will stay for at least two more years

The fact that he was connected to United shows how far they have fallen. He has taken Ipswich to the prem in two season which is an achievement but no one can convince me that he has done enough in the game to be the manager of Manchester United.

The only thing rejecting United shows is that he has a functioning brain. No ‘lack of ambition’ trying to establish Ipswich as a regular PL side

Ipswich are currently a far better bet than Chelsea or United. Those two are basket cases, where he would be spat out if they aren’t top 3 next season.

To be fair ipswich fans should be fuming with him , he was given the platform to manage and achieved two promotions , why would you not come out and commit to Ipswich

Those clubs are shh shows. I don't blame him for avoiding the mess.

This rumour with United has to stop; he was fired 2 years ago, and has only two years management experience; one year in division one and one year in the championship. No experience in the PL, absolutely no experience at the top 6 level, no European experience, no experience with world class talent, and no experience at all being the front face of the biggest football team in the world. This is a job that Moyes, Van Vaal, Mourinho, Ole, Rangnick and potentially EtH all failed at. He may be an awesome up and coming coach; I hope he's as good as his reputation right now, but if you think he's ready for that role, I think you should go for a lie down.

£100k a year not a lot?? Really?

Before it was 'is he good enough' then extends at Ipswich so it's now 'does he lack ambition'...

Lol and the criticise Kompany for accepting Munich job. What a joke!

New to managing and getting 2 promotions back to back and into the Premier league, why would he move from that journey and test his own abilities.

Some bloke in headphones 🎧 telling a grown man what to do 😅.

He just got some sense

No, he’s not proven yet at the very top….let him develop and see if he can be a manager of Utd in a few years time

If he went to Manchester United or Chelsea lot would've said he probably got big job too soon but when he stays with Ipswich he has no ambition he can't win whatever his decision was

You don’t want McKenna to be the next Graham Potter jumping ship too early and being way out of his depth n embarrassingly sacked

If he go.s to Chelsea if he go man .u .if he does not win the league he’s sacked .no top club will keep you in this ruthless league.for me he will be the new Alex Ferguson.probably not with my club ITFC .BUT SO HAPPY HE HAS SIGNED. TOP 10

he didn't turn them down, they turned him down

there's no way he turned down the man utd job. i bet utd decided not to go for him in the end

15 years.

Signed for Ipswich Southgate in charge News weeks ago catch up. After the Euros you will be told ok 👌 Our Boss 🎉

Well done, Kieran... pissing on the likes of United and Chelsea who seek to ruin your mission and ethos. Transformational managers take pride in seeing their work to the end. Then they capitalize on the additional opportunities that come at the end as they contemplate the next level, instead of leaping only to struggle in/with the shadow of iconic coaches like Sir Alex... because you're bound to lose and end up worse off than if you stay the path with Ipswich. Well done, sir. Respect aplenty.

I question if Goldstein has a brain every time he opens his mouth

Maybe he's just happy at his current club and waiting for a better opportunity/or wants to follow thru with Ipswich? It doesnt mean he lacks ambition Andy, you act like turning down man utd is a SIN

Either his team put out rumours of him leaving to get him a better deal at Ipswich or he’s only signed it now because he didn’t get the Chelsea job.

Yeah, these fools show so much Bias . Good for the ipswich manager to stay. I have fond memories of ipswich . Back to these fools , when spurs signed Ange as manager , they said it lacks ambition as he only won in Scotland , now that Chelsea and United are interested in a Manger that only played in the leagues below ,they are saying it's a good fit.

Goldstein...It stews me this guy's a Utd fan. Anything for clicks. He should be better than this but he doesn't want to be!

Where's the parka?

How does he lack ambition? He went for the interview, failed it, signed a new contract with Ipswich. He's dodged a bullet with the Chelsea job, the new manager Maresca will last a season maybe

Gees Andy is getting more and more like a broken record. Not going to ManU doesn’t mean he lacks ambition. It shows he does have ambition because Ipswich are much more likely to win something than ManU probably. McKenna seems like the type to go for it rather than just aim for PL survival. And loyalty means such a big thing, which everyone is happy to see. And the Brighton link was naff because Brighton are overrated and wouldn’t be surprised if Brighton gets relegated. And why would anyone go to ManU if it means every week pundits go on and on about whether you get sacked or not.

Cant please everyone.

Absurd analysis to say he lacks ambition. He’s 38 he’s avoiding the Kompany dilemma where he goes for the big job and crash and burns leaving his stock low. A good season with Ipswich and he’s laughing

The board at Chelsea and united must have shook him to the core, ie ,we need champions league ASAP or else , fair play he's looked at the bigger picture, and stuck with Ipswich, got seasons left as a manager instead of months 😊

Why do they think he is at the level to manage Man Utd? 😂😂

Was he offered the Utd job?

Maybe because hes not ready 😂 and he wants to build something with Ipswitch which is way harder than keeping a float Shitunited and Chelski

Ah come on lads cop on ,,, he didn't turn down Man U, Chelsea or Brighton. They just considered him . They all turn him down but he got to treble his wage with the promotion and the speculation but I'd say his buy out clause was peanuts b4 but now that has gone up Ten fold..😮😮

He gets a club from league 1 to the prem in 2 years and it’s said he has a lack of ambition 😂

Punditry is now an easy gig. Just speak on "reports", "speculation " from God knows where and choose a side. No depth, just "what ifs". 😅

Ipswich will be coming straight down

This guy has crazy eyebrows
