I think we'd all agree that 8 points from McCarthy's first 4 games is a very decent start. It appears he is turning things around after what had been an underachieving season. I thought I'd have a look and see how McCarthy's opening 4 games rank with other City managers.
Scoular - 3 draws and a defeat. In fact, Scoular didn't win any of his first 12 games as manager.
O'Farrell - 2 wins, a draw and a defeat.
Andrews - 1 draw and 3 defeats.
Morgan - 1 draw and 3 defeats.
Ashurst (first spell) - 1 win, 1 draw, 2 defeats.
Durban - 1 win, 3 defeats.
Burrows (first spell) - 2 wins, 2 draws.
Ashurst (second spell) - 2 draws, 2 defeats.
May (first spell) - 1 win, 1 draw, 2 defeats.
Hibbitt - 2 wins, 1 draw, 1 defeat.
Neal - 1 win, 3 defeats.
Osman - 3 wins, 1 defeat.
Burrows (second spell) - 1 win, 3 draws.
Ayre - 3 draws, 1 defeat.
Gould - 4 draws.
Cork - 2 wins, 2 draws.
Lawrence - 3 wins, 1 draw.
Jones - 1 win, 3 defeats.
Mackay - 3 wins, 1 defeat.
Solskjaer - 2 wins, 2 defeats.
Slade - 3 wins, 1 defeat.
Trollope - 1 win, 1 draw, 2 defeats.
Warnock - 2 wins, 1 draw, 1 defeat.
Harris - 3 wins, 1 draw.
McCarthy - 2 wins, 2 draws.
Clearly there's not that much correlation between how well a manager does compared with how he did in his first 4 games, but I think it's an interesting list nonetheless.

In fairness, he got us promoted, scoring close to 100 goals in a season and being unbeaten all season at home. We were inconsistent in his second season yet still beat Leeds in the FA cup.Originally Posted by Madassa

Yeh I am being a little harsh I know
Not as good a start as Harris then
You’re not being that harsh the squad was far better than the league it was playing in. Even Russell Slade might have got that side promoted.Yeh I am being a little harsh I know
Looks like Mick is favourite to get a longer contract at the end of the season ?
Is Mick the answer long term? I don’t think so. Club needs to learn from the Warnock experience.
Yeh it was the start of Sam's spending spree
I agree but it could be a very easy option for the board, and one simple out they will probably take
Exactly!
We don't want to get promoted to the Premier League do we ?
Much a better to try and play attractive football and bring in loads of local youngsters, even if it's in league two!
If a manager does well he deserves a contract .
Can't see the club changing its immediate future planning in personal and recruitment, if he gets in sniffing distance of play offs he will get a contract.
I belive he is a more sophisticated version of Warnock ,straighter talker, not so reliant on the blame culture , arguably has a better top flight record with good experiences at an international level .
His back team with Terry Connor specifically is also a better option than Warnock's.
Sack him now and get Osman in for four games, then have Slade back.
