Re: Mick McCarthy

Inevitable now that should we be playing nice football but 18th and seriously threatening the relegation places or even go down people will give that manager time and patience ?

I think you are having a giraffe

I sincerely hope if MMs time is up his replacement transforms the club in a root and branch approach but I can't see it happening

Re: Mick McCarthy

Interesting article from 2014, that put Ipswich Town (at the time, managed by Mick McCarthy) at the top of the Hoofball Charts in the Championship.

Possibly more interesting is that Cardiff City were near the bottom of said chart.

Why would that be entertaining?

Why would it not? Goalkeeper scoring to keep us up on the last day and all that kind of shit, why not.. L1 would be a blast if we ****ed up too.

The crowds will vanish

We will be lucky to get 14000 gates

And if we are stuck there for several years 14000 will soon become 10000

Relegation would be a complete nightmare for this football club

If its time for MM to get the bullet then you better pray the next man stops us going down

Playing devil's advocate for a minute, I'm sure fans of Leicester, Norwich, Leeds and Southampton all thought the same.

Some people just love the pain. Let's go back down to league 2, scrap it out with our old school rivals if any of them are still in business. Local Derby with county. Should be fun.

Leeds spent about 10 years in the championship after coming back up from league one before finally making it to the premier League. despite being comfortably one of the, if not the best supported sides in the division for all of that time.
their income is massive compared to ours, they should have been competitive a lot sooner than they were.
there is nothing to suggest that a spell in league one did anything to help them towards their current situation. in fact it probably delayed their progress

How is their income massive compared to ours?
Outside of the difference in crowds and with?

Genuine question, especially with us having two lots of parachute payments in the time you mention that they were outside the Premier League?

sorry I should have been clearer, their commercial income is massive compared to almost any championship club, it's not as big as your typical parachute payment, but it is not far off that. taking parachute payments out if the equation they'd probably have a 10-15 million advantage over most teams, which really should start to count when it is year on year.
think what we could do with an extra 15 million this season

But we did have a few installments of parachute payments in that time, plus the money we should have made while the sun shone in the two Premier League seasons yet we're as far behind Leeds as we have been in the last however many years (10 certainly).

All this with our great owner and board...
