United fans on their forum are mostly begging for them to replace ETH with McKenna whilst all of us Chelsea fans are begging our club to stay away. Kinda funny.

That’s because McKenna is a nobody. Ten Hag being a bad manager does not make McKenna any better than he is.

there is also the point of direct style which I disagree with with most here: for me the club signed players and managers to play quick and direct. Don’t see any evidence that they want possession style anywhere.

Now the latest brief is that Maresca is seeming the most likely…

Nothing funny or surprising in it. He is one of them, had been with MU for long. Most of us were happy all over when Lampard was appointed after his season at Derby. I don’t remember other big6 team fans pushing for him. 
 

Also, by the end of the season, Ten Hag fully lost his shit, especially with his communication towards the press. We finished the season pretty promising, so brining up McKenna not causing general amusement among Chelsea fans is understandable.

I have seen this headline by lesser transfer accounts, but now Matt Law is peddling it.

Ok ok, it's me, I've asked to manage for a year but take 3 years pay, even if I get us in Europe I will be sacked if I get them to Europe and a cup final I can just walk away, good pension no strings attached and my medical team will be the Chelsea pensioners.

But in a serious note I think it's Eddie Howe, or I've atleast heard rumours

Seems to be the likely candidate...

When Chelsea last won the Premier League Kieran McKenna was 32 years old. That would make him the oldest player in the current Blues squad now that Thiago Silva has left, but it demonstrates his youth and also his incredible rise in the game.

At the time he was working as Manchester United's Under-18 manager. Heading up the senior side at Old Trafford was none other than Jose Mourinho when Chelsea lifted the title under Antonio Conte.

McKenna is now a top candidate to become the head coach at Stamford Bridge after Mauricio Pochettino left the club by mutual consent.

Would be funny if Championship manager would be reluctant to take over Chelsea and prefer some other lower-table team, but nothing will surprise me now.

Well, if its United, its understandable. They are still bigger than us.

Would make perfect sense..anyone coming here knows its short term or should do! If they're looking to build something then here isn't the place

True, but wonder how reliable these news are.

Brighton? Fair enough, fits their philosophy somewhat, even if it's bit of a stretch. But United? I'd still expect them to go after proven manager. Last week Tuchel supposedly almost in, so it may be usual "everyone to United" rumor. Meanwhile we are trying to organize some from zero to hero story at all costs, so it may be an only solid offer tbh.
