Guest wilyfox Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 1 hour ago, hirstyboywonder said: To be fair I don't think we had a brand of football under Jos, it was just one bizarre selection of players and tactics followed by another completely random approach from one game to the next. We've had one season of attractive football in 20yrs - Carlos' first year. That season aside, it's all about scraping results. So I don't understand anyone turning their nose up at the suggestion of McCarthy on playing style. This group of players also need a manager with presence and authority to contend with some difficult characters in the dressing room. Carlos had it - until his demise. Bruce had it. Jos & Monk do not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HillsboroughOwlNI Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 Could we get Pochettino in, and get the government to pay 80% of his salary? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kew Owl Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 Even if we wanted MM, I couldn’t see a headstrong no - nonsense character like him agreeing to come to Hillsborough and working under DC, so the OP’s question is probably academic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snaykz Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 We’d be swapping Monk - a manager who rarely gets the best out of his players and whose teams usually play crap football, for McCarthy - a manager who often gets the best out of his players and whose teams usually play crap football. So on that score, he would be an improvement. But... I’d have serious doubts about whether McCarthy would be the man to get us promoted. Having said that, McCarthy strikes me as the sort of manager you’d appoint if you’re working with a limited budget and just want to stay in the division. So he might be just what we need for the next year or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any one fancy him at Hillsborough? Kept Ipswich in the championship on a shoe string.. Your comments would be appreciated.. Lets put it this way if we were currently without a manager I’d take Mick in a heartbeat. Our current predicament needs a strong character who can command player respect; I reckon Mick would comfortably fit the bill and I think he’d be up for the challenge.

oneeyedmilkman Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 MM is in that category with Bruce of managers I think we need - experienced old head who has his own set of staff, knows how a club should be set up, and manages a team rather than takes the role of head coach. MM isn’t the greatest manager in world football, but he wouldn’t accept the poo show that is our boardroom and would give us the experience I think we need. There certainly isn’t any experience of success higher up the chain. For these reasons theres not a chance our recruitment team would go for him!

mcmigo Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 Love big mick. his ‘ backside is always in the bacon slicer’ usually as he is on a run of about 15 defeats on the spin and has spanked his money on some hopeless clogger up front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earlsfieldowl Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 Not sure what the people rejecting him would want instead It’s like Bruce all over again.. McCarthy has a very good record at this level and has a strong enough character to sort put the growing mess on the field this club is/was becoming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His brand of football is certainly no worse than we have been subjected to this season. His ability to get results is far better than the record of our current manager. His football makes Monks look like brazil, terrible entertainment. Ipswich fans despised his tactics and style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torryowl Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 its a yes from me ...we'd not go down with him in charge and if we can ever spend any money he knows how to get promoted out of this league . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His football gets results at this level, our football is terrible to watch and for 3 months we have had a far worse record than every team but 1 in the division and keep losing games before half-time. Tell me about the games you have enjoyed seeing us play this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthefish2002 Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 One of the problems we have is a 'Big Time Charlie' attitude amongst the players. Mick McCarthy wouldnt stand for that and have the authority and experience to sort it out. I agree the football would be more functional then anything else but so was Megson and Sturrock and both those managers were popular. I dont see anyone else we could realistically get who would be better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james o connor Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 My first answer would be no. Watching dire , boring football has become norm for Wednesday over the last 8/9 years and it’s becoming tiresome. having said that , we need a gaffer that will kick our over paid losers into touch . I think he’s capable of doing just that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
