Yep, good clip there, and he is obviously well up for the challenge. To say Portman Road needs to be bigger is a huge statement of intent, ie, that team needs to carry on producing the goods.
A vast majority of fans come out in droves in amongst the successful times ….. but….. after 4 defeats in a row, they’re off down B&Q buying DIY stuff on a Saturday. The ground could do with extending slightly, but ——>> keep winning! No one (or player) likes a massive echoey stadium.
He obviously thrives on pressure, (which is great) and the challenge ahead looks like its bread & butter to the guy.
Edit just to add: His first big challenge could be keeping KMcK in the building. Everyone praying for the perfect start in 23/24……. But as “Manager Sacking Season” starts nearer Christmas, the vultures could be circling. That could be the biggest challenge ahead of all the other stuff.
Exciting times…….. and about time.

Marko, totally agree with you regarding the stadium. As we all know things can change very quickly in football and although at this moment in time we are all caught up in the euphoria of getting promoted we do need to keep our feet firmly on the ground. Fortunately, I believe we have owners and a CEO who will do that.
Already, I have seen some fans saying we could do a double promotion and find ourselves in the Premiership come the end of next season. I would be quite happy if we consolidate our position in the Championship next year and then push on from there. As has been said by the owners on several occasions, this is a project.
