Gees not sure what Kompany has achieved to warrant Bayern job.
Also whilst McKenna has done a brilliant job at Ipswich the last manager to go back to back promotions into PL was Nigel Adkins.
Feel like Bayern are trying to replicate Leverkusen and Stuttgart with the success of Alonso and Hoeness really.

In for Farke or Martin as well after Sunday I’d imagine
Big boost for Palace...

I'd be disappointed as an Ipswich fan to see McKenna go.
Surely he has a crack with Ipswich in the Prem first. Even if they got relegated, I don't see his stock falling a whole lot.

I’m a Chelsea fan, and I don’t understand the rationale.

I guess we want a coach and Poch wants to be a manager, it's never going to work.

How into Maresca are you? Seen plenty on twitter linking you with him.

On a managerial level I don't understand this either. McKenna gets Ipswich to the PL, surely he wants a go at managing them in the PL before moving to pastures greener. Maybe this is all a ploy by his agency to land him a bigger pay rise from Ipswich which he clearly deserves.

You can go from hero to zero very quickly in management. Sometimes you have to jump in case you never get the chance to make it again.

Yeah I don’t think clubs like Chelsea or United are coming in for him in 12 months if Ipswich get relegated, no matter how admirably they perform.

And yet Bayern have come in for Kompany.
Seeing one of the favourites for relegation, be relegated, isn't going to be career damaging.

Kompany doing nothing with Burnley then failing up into the Bayern Munich job is all time bizarre.

He did get them promoted. Wasn't 'nothing'.
This season was pretty lifeless though. Never really looked like getting them going.

Who knows at this stage, everything seems to be pointing to McKenna.

Kompany was a big name player so that’s the difference…no way he gets the Bayern job otherwise…or if he was Sam Dyche

Plenty of average managers get teams promoted though because well I guess world class managers arent really managing in the Championship.

Kompany did great with Burnley in the championship, I don't think he did too bad with them in the prem. Did OK at Anderlecht too.
Knows the German league and speaks German.
It's a bit out of the blue, but a great opportunity for him if it happens.

Not sure about plenty.
You're still talking about dominating across a 46 game domestic season.
