Ipswich Town manager Kieran McKenna has recently addressed the ongoing transfer speculation surrounding two key players at the club. With growing interest from other clubs, McKenna took the opportunity to communicate directly to the players about their importance to Ipswich and the club’s ambitions moving forward.
Speaking candidly, McKenna emphasized how much the players mean to the squad and the role they have played in the team’s progress. “Both of you have been outstanding contributors this season, showing not just talent but tremendous work ethic and professionalism,” he said. “Your performances have caught the attention of others, which is a testament to your ability and the environment we’ve created here at Ipswich.”
The manager also made it clear that while he understands the natural desire to advance one’s career and explore new challenges, the club values loyalty and commitment. “I know the game is always evolving, and players will receive interest from elsewhere. But it’s important to recognize what we’re building here. Ipswich Town has a rich history and a passionate fan base. You are a vital part of that journey, and we want to continue pushing for success together.”
McKenna highlighted the importance of communication during this period. “What matters most is honesty — between you and the club. If you ever feel there’s something to discuss, my door is always open. We want to support you in every way we can, whether that’s helping you grow here or discussing your future openly.”
He also reassured the players that the club is prepared to back them on and off the pitch. “We’re committed to providing the right environment for you to thrive. This includes the coaching staff, the facilities, and the overall support network around the team. Our ambition is to create a team and culture that players want to be a part of for the long term.”
As transfer windows can be unsettling for players and fans alike, McKenna’s message was one of clarity and encouragement. “Stay focused on what got you here. Keep working hard, and let’s see where this journey takes us. We believe in you and what you bring to Ipswich Town.”
The Ipswich manager’s words underline a steady approach amid the excitement and uncertainty of the transfer market, emphasizing unity, respect, and shared ambition for the club’s future.
