I suspect the Sala court case, starting today may have delayed any sacking.

Horrific atmosphere on Saturday, I never thought I'd say this but I'm glad I'm at a Christening

I don't understand why that would slow down a decision?

The court case is going on for 10 days with the next case timetabled for February - according to the other thread. I doubt any of the key decision makers will be tied up in attending court. It may eventually have an impact on club finances, but not for a long time.

My guess is that the board/Choo/Dalman are either negotiating a severance deal with Mick and/or firming up and starting discussions with a shortlist of potential replacements. The only other explanation is that they don't know what to do, are treading water, and along with Mick somehow hope that 5 centre backs will eventually turn out to be an inspired innovation that will blow Fulham away!

My feeling is that they may not have wanted to make such a major announcement at the start of what was always likely to be an emotional trial.
Maybe tomorrow......

They had two weeks before the Swansea game to line up a replacement.

Oh, the irony: Warnock, Bamba and Peltier in Cardiff on Saturday for what is going to be one hell of an atmosphere.
And that is my 50th Birthday… 🙈🤦🏼

Thoroughly depressing. I just think its a case of they cant afford to pay him off.

We are in deep trouble need the fans behind the team. Its not going to be possible with a manager virtually no one wants and I bet that includes the players.

Very unfortunate. I think Boro are beatable but if he is still there the crowd will be our own worst enemy.

People on here are over the top prim and proper aren't they. Over the top, look at me I'm nice, types.

There is nothing wrong with sacking him after his losing streak, doesn't matter if the trial started today.

Exactly.

Surely they'd have been looking already.

So until we've dropped at least another six points. Cool.

Re: Here until at least the weekend apparently

I can't think of a case before where, it would appear, so much of the fanbase has turned against a manager so quickly and, even if we were to go to Fulham and win and then beat Middlesbrough, I can't help believing that Mick McCarthy has become damaged goods - although it may take a while, he's going to have to leave eventually even if Vincent Tan is reluctant to pay up his contract.

Look at the situation with Neil Harris, eleven months ago supporters were becoming more disillusioned with him and the match with Luton was seen as a must win by many - he won that game convincingly and four of the next five matches saw us take three points as well, but it was only putting off the inevitable and another woeful defeat by Swansea didn't help his cause one bit.

If it is in the Board's mind to get rid of McCarthy now, then do it now and stick him on gardening leave or something - playing five centrebacks is an admission of defeat on his part and, on the face of it, he appears incapable of halting this slump.
