I see Cardiff are set to announce Mick Mccarthy as next manager after sacking Neil Harris yesterday. Have to say I am very surprised. Not gone down well with Cardiff fans. What's your thoughts on this? Relegation battle coming up for Cardiff?
Dont think Ipswich finished in the bottom half of the table under Mccarthy... They got relegated the very next season after he left.
Very underrated in my opinion. Think he's got an unfair tag after his spell at Ipswich but if I remember rightly the bloke never had any money to make signings
Will come in, tighten things up, ship out the wankers, do a job, get them moving up the league. In 18 months the fans will be screaming for his head because he is too boring and they are not back in the PL. And so it goes..
Left millwall 14 points clear of the drop they got relegated. Took over a basket case at Sunderland, stopped the rot and took them back up. With no money to spend.
Wolves, got the job after Hoddle spent all the money, had to sell everyone and rebuild on frees and youth players. Took them up.
Ipswich kept them in the top half for years. He leaves they go straight down.
Worth at least 5 places a season. It's a shame that unlike big Sam and Pullis he has never, ever, had money to spend.
Shrewd move by Cardiff. I wanted him to take over when Curbs left. Our history since then certainly would have been a lot different.
He used to live in chelsfield at the time and I used to bump into him occasionally. He would have loved the opportunity to manage Charlton back then. Unfortunately Murray took a different route.

Not that I'm complaining about it but the Millwall team was top at the end of November, he started touting himself for the Ireland job and started to plummet down the league before he left in the February.
Good luck to him, if he doesn’t get Cardiff up near the play-offs he’ll be gone within a year, they are desperate for the Prem again, not sure they will be back there any time soon.
Been around the block and knows what’s what. Will adapt to what players are there and change when he’s able. Safe pair of hands and they could do a lot worse. You have to ask why Harris was chosen in the first place.
Weird that Paul Cook is still unemployed. He's been linked with Wednesday, but to me Cardiff would be a much more attractive job
They said on the radio Cook was linked to the Cardiff job but only offered the job until the end of the season which sounds strange. He obviously turned it down

When he came back as Irish manager, it was dreadful to watch but we were competitive at least.
Often the way of evaluating a manager is how the successor does, and Kenny's reign has been pretty disastrous. Indeed N Ireland post Michael O'Neill have had a similar slump...

Not a fashionable appointment but has more than proved himself to be a competent manager at Championship level.

Would love to know what went on in Cyprus that meant he was only there for a few months...sounds like he got paid to have a lovely holiday
Still bloody funny what happened that season
Despite managing clubs all over the country for many a year it’s still his home.
Don't think it's ever been mentioned on here before.
