Mckenna has signed a new contract with Ipswich, sensible lad!
His time will come if he truly is good enough. Financially he could have made a shed load but a year in the Old Trafford spotlight could easily have destroyed his credibility (see Potter - Chelsea - where now etc). Sound decision
As opposed to the mere £3 million per year his new contract at Ipswich is said to be worth, you mean. I know that’s a great deal less than he’d get at MUFC but how much do these guys need?Quote:
