The Tractor Boys enjoyed promotion from League One last year, earning 98 points in an impressive campaign that earned them second in the table.
The Suffolk outfit have taken no time to adapt to the higher level of the second division, quickly climbing their way into a comfortable second place position.
Ipswich are now in the fight for automatic promotion to the Premier League, seemingly being the only side capable of competing against the recently relegated trio of Leicester City, Leeds United and Southampton.
It is still only the early stages of the campaign, but a six point gap to third and a game in hand does reflect extremely well on their standing in the division.
What could prevent Ipswich Town promotion this season?
One major stumbling block that their success may create is a demand for their important manager.
He worked under Jose Mourinho and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer at Old Trafford, alongside Middlesbrough manager Michael Carrick, as the team competed for major silverware both domestically and in Europe.
This has proven a great learning ground, with both McKenna and Carrick now thriving.
The Ipswich boss could even attract potential interest from the Premier League, or even abroad, given how well he has done with the Tractor Boys.
Crystal Palace have already been linked with potentially bringing him in as a long-term successor to Roy Hodgson once the 76-year-old finally calls it a day on his career.
And an asking price of £4 million has been set by Ipswich, which could prove a tempting figure for clubs like the Eagles.
