An interesting interview with McCarthy about returning to management after 12 months off.

Found these parts to be specifically interesting:

"McCarthy first heard from Blackpool on Wednesday. He’d said on Monday he was enjoying the time off, had spent a year with his four beloved grandkids and wasn’t “desperate” to take a job unless it was the right one."

"McCarthy told friends on Thursday that Blackpool is either his “swansong” or – if it goes as he hopes – might just end up being the start of another managerial journey."

It's a good read and an interesting insight into the man.

That's exactly what we need at the moment, not Jurgen Klopp, just someone who can win enough games.

Definitely not Jurgen Klopsman

"A raft of speaking engagements and a trip to Florida have been cancelled"

Sounds like Mick's up for it. Good interview (again).

Not read it, but think Sadders has done well in getting MM in. The best manager Blackpool has had in name, lets hope the results match. UTP.

Your humour is understood.

Definitely not Jurgen Klopsman

I thought it was Klintman.

Better than Pep Ravioli I suppose.

“I do what I can to win a football match but I don’t always do it to please everybody.” That is exactly what his new club need.

When Grayson was hired he had to cancel his usual spot in the library and a trip to Asdas

Lol. Ducks head smiley.

First contact Wednesday. Do these people really think fans are that thick?

Have to say that was a good watch on TTV…looked well up for the task…and even if tomorrow turns out to be a disappointment ( which I hope is not the case) sounds well up for the challenge and that’s all one can ask for right now.

Will allow him some creative license on that one. We all know how it works.

Bet he could charge a few bob for those speaking do's. We must be making this worth his while (and a nice bung if he keeps us up!).

Go on, give it a go. Should take 1-2 minutes.
