Friend of the Forum: Big Mick McCarthy

James Collins with zero goals in 15 didn’t help Mick.

Kiefer Moore hit 20 or so under Mick last year has 1 this year. Them the breaks

They look more like Ipswich now than they did last year. You can’t score goals like that

The man who got him the job is the man who’s team will end up getting him fired ironically

Big Mick and his assistant Terry O’Connor have parted company with Cardiff City by mutual consent.

Poor TC

Guilty by association

He will be soon.

He’s some man to get a job

Yet when Kenny was struggling due to covid issues etc their was no such allowances. Mick sacked twice in 10 months. The facts do not lie. Out of his depth.

Mick won more than he lost with Cardiff and overachieved early on with a team who had lost six on the spin before he took over. He said he expected to be fired as they weren’t getting results and that’s how football works. Funnily enough the same doesn’t apply to Kenny who you are happy to make allowances for

International football ain’t club football, but you’d have some Irish EPL heads expecting “instant success”, as delusional as Newcastle Utd supporters. They would probably want some arab oil baron to come in and shake things up…

Don’t think so.

Did Sunderland sack their manager again? Fucking hell. They started off the season flying didn’t they?

Been going fairly well but lost 6-0 to Bolton at the weekend. Add that to 5-1 to Rotherham, 4-0 to Portsmouth, 3-0 to Wednesday, 3-1 to Lincoln; the collapses have been too regular.

Johnson is a good coach but maybe not practical enough to guarantee automatic promotion (despite having more resources than most of the teams around).

They have wasted so much money over the years

There are worse things than Big Mick

Is Neil Lennon any good? The forum is split on this matter iirc

The most successful Irish manager on the UK mainland ever
