Re: Its Mick McCarthy...

Would you take/would this work..

Mick til end of season, Bellamy his assistant, Bellamy takes over in the summer, Mick gets a big pay off or a upstairs role at the club.

Re: Its Mick McCarthy...

Yet again, the pathetic lack of imagination or ambition from those in charge is exposed by this appointment.

This.

I think 12-18 months down the line we will be saying much the same.

Those at the top are just playing at running a football club. It screams of a lack of knowledge and very little planning. This is what we can see too, what gaffs happen behind the scenes.

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.

I would take it but don't for one second think that the board have that intention.

If Tan wasn't making signings it would be almost as if he was doing it to pi$$ off the fanbase.

Re: Its Mick McCarthy...

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.

Re: Its Mick McCarthy...

We're going to know a lot more about the club's future plans from:

- MM first couple of interviews
- what the board says when announcing him
- what happens in the summer: whether MM stays on and what new players are brought in
- (if he stays on, how things progress next year)

No need to judge just on the name being announced.

And here is main Walesonline journalist saying length of contract not yet agreed:

Full story here. Cardiff City are set to appoint Mick McCarthy as their new manager.
Whether that is just until the end of the season or longer is still being decided, I am led to believe - https://twitter.com/GlenWilliams12/s...70007176278016

Can we maybe let them explain their thoughts first? Especially those who felt MM might be a good caretaker until end of the year.

I'll bet Warnock was consulted and he suggested ol' Mick.

Re: Its Mick McCarthy...

I'm positive about this.He will know alot of the players and among other things is a big fan of Kiefer Moore.From the same school as Warnock at least he won't try and bullshit fans with cliched politically correct talk.Also many on here wanted strong leadership and not a yes man.On that he fits the bill perfectly and will also see this as a big opportunity for himself.

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