Its Mick McCarthy...

Re: Its Mick McCarthy...

I've been writing my message and deleting it over and over....really don't know what to say.

I dunno, lets just see what happens I guess. All we can do.

One thing though, why sign 2 players within 48hrs then sack the manager a day later? Surely the board were having doubts and having meetings about Harris prior to QPR so why sanction 2 transfers. You don't sack someone just like that so must have been brewing.
Has Mcarthy been lined up in the background with knowledge about the signings prior maybe?

Im stunned.

Theres obviouly no attempt to get Eddie Howe or try to get Poch when he was available
We reached the FA Cup final a few years ago loads of top managers would be queing up we may even have tempted Klopp.

Howe was approached some time ago turned us down allegedly ( ssssh insider info )

Hope you’re all excited for the progressive football we hounded out Harris for

Grass isn’t always greener

I really don’t understand your comments or any others bleating about the Harris dismissal. He was on a pathetic run and the club was in free fall. All this “be careful what you wish for” seems to blame the fans for wanting a change and the fact that we end up with another useless appointment.
This is 100% down to a totally incompetent board with zero football knowledge.
As a fan of the past 60 years I am seriously considering not going down when we eventually start.
The Cardiff City board do not deserve the support.

Re: Its Mick McCarthy...

Not my choice but i'll give him my support the same as any new manager. I'll judge him at the end of the season

Re: Its Mick McCarthy...

I didn't want him, but he's got my backing. Good luck Mick.

Best post of teh lot this one , true bluebird , get into Mick , he doesn't take any prisoners . I used to hate playing his sides if that helps smooth this through

Re: Its Mick McCarthy...

Are any of us surprised?

It is underwhelming but we cling to the hope that this is some sort of temporary solution to see Cardiff to the summer, hopefully avoid relegation and look to appoint a new manager with long term ambitions.

But McCarthy is not coming on a 6 month deal

Re: Its Mick McCarthy...

Difficult one. Mick is likeable and will probably steady the ship but can't help but think this is a missed opportunity. I think you can be pretty sure that we aren't going down and we aren't going up so any new manager would have had time to embed change.

Can the board learn. We had the same old for like half a decade! Never gonna progress at this rate...

They have done this to save money on the new mangers kit and coat, as he can use Malky Mackay's now.

I would laugh, although that wouldn't surprise me.

Re: Its Mick McCarthy...

I actually really like Mick McCarthy as a bloke. Funny, no nonsense, old school. But this is a terrible footballing decision with no foresight. They must be really worried about relegation.
