Ipswich promoted to Premier League, Huddersfield and Birmingham relegated – live reaction
Kieran McKenna, who has taken Ipswich Town from League One to the Premier League in short order, speaks to Sky Sports. “It means a lot … mostly seeing how much it means to everyone, the players, the supporters … to be one of the leaders of that is absolutely massive … it’s a wonderful day, I’m very, very proud of everyone involved … we’ve delivered a really good performance … it’s what we’ve done all year … it’s served us well … it’s an incredible amount of effort … I’m sure it’ll sink in in a couple of days … there’s a lot of work to do … it’ll start in a couple of days time … [the Premier League] will be a great challenge and one that I’m really looking forward to.”
It’s then pointed out to him that Alf Ramsey took Ipswich from the third tier to the top, and won the title in their first season (1961-62). When will history stop repeating itself? “I think with that one,” McKenna laughs.
