Ipswich winger Wes Burns says their return to the Premier League is a reward for fans who stuck by the club during 'dark times'.
Wes Burns believes Ipswich Town's Premier League return is a reward for fans who stuck by the club through "dark times".
Ipswich suffered after their Premier League relegation in 2002, entering administration and struggling to keep their heads above water in the Championship, before eventually succumbing to the drop into League One at the end of the 2018-19 season. Key to that rise is the guidance of McKenna, with Burns expecting the former Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United youth team coach to achieve far more in his managerial career than anyone expected of him.
"To sum him up as a manager, he's definitely going to go way above and beyond what anyone probably thought that he would have done."Just a week after their season-opener against Liverpool, Ipswich travel to the Etihad Stadium to face defending champions Manchester City.
