Backroom DE. Posted April 10, 2018 Backroom Posted April 10, 2018 He's been dealing with it for months now, so a little surprising if tonight was the night that broke him. On the other hand, not much point in sticking around if you're going to get abuse even when you win matches. Just a bunch of dead rubbers left at this point anyway. Quote

I understand the frustration of having to watch shyte football but he hasn't had a pot to piss in and they're going to finish in a very respectable position. There was an Ipswich fan interviewed the t'other week saying he was sick of people saying 'careful what you wish for' with regards to them wanting him out. All I'd say to him is 'careful what you wish for' 2 Quote

JHRover Posted April 11, 2018 Posted April 11, 2018 Ipswich's owner, who usually stays in the shadows and doesn't speak, has unusually commented on their website about the managerial search, saying he doesn't expect to appoint anyone before the summer, but can't rule it out, but that the summer would be best 'as a lot can happen at the end of a season with managers' Perhaps suggests he has his eye on someone currently employed and might be waiting until that person finishes the season and then comes available in the summer.

Backroom DE. Posted April 11, 2018 Backroom Posted April 11, 2018 I get the feeling he'll end up somewhere with far better prospects than Ipswich. 1 Quote

Vinjay Posted April 11, 2018 Posted April 11, 2018 Nice of Jim to speak for the whole fanbase. . Reckon there's some argument for McCarthy being a better manager but I can't help wondering if he's just gone stale. He's getting a bit older and you can't help feeling perhaps another promotion could be beyond him. I'm in 2 minds on the remarks as the fans as I've liked some of his blunt speaking in the past (since it's without ego or being a straight up jackass) and dry humor but I can understand their frustration as well. I'm fed up of "be careful what you wish for" as an excuse of attacking anyone who has aspiration or ambition. As someone said in a comments section (on one of the local media sites down there) what are they supposed to do aspire to be boring for another 16 years? Quote

He end up at Barnsley next season in league 1 when they get relegated He had Ipswich playing some ok football and was getting them in and around the playoffs before they sold his two best players in Mings to Bournemouth and Murphy to Newcastle two player's McCarthy brought to the club that they sold on for 15 million. I think they paid something like 10 grand for Mings and sold him on for between 8-10 million and then sold Murphy to Newcastle for 5 and Mcarthy saw hardly any of that profit invested back into his transfer kitty.He did a very good job,he spent a pittance and made the club good money and kept them comfortable. They should be getting angry with the owner for not giving McCarthy a bit of cash especially with the profit on those two 2 Quote

You make good point about 2 players sold and no money invested. I just think Ipswich could have done better with better football and different signings Quote

Mattyblue Posted April 12, 2018 Posted April 12, 2018 Really? We do get up, but Mogga loses his marbles and goes to Ipswich, I hope he’s near the top of any list of replacements. 5 Quote

The fans should be looking to get rid of the owner then, not the manager, else it's just rearranging deckchairs on the titanic. 1 Quote
