Mick McCarthy

JJpool said:
Really. I'll back whoever but doesn't inspire me and I can't see it inspiring people.

However if he gets results then yes.

But how does he fit our players?

Imagine the likes of Patino and Carey. They’ll be shitting bricks when big Mick unleashes fury.
 
The biggest thing to get fans back onside was 1. Appleton to go and 2. make a positive appointment.

Is this that? In some ways he's highly experienced, but in others he's not seen as a positive appointment.

However, he shows more passion that Appleton. He's quite a funny guy tbf but just not what I was expecting.
 
He certainly improved Cardiff when he first went in...

"McCarthy has got to work in double time and galvanised Cardiff, taking 17 points from a possible 21. For context of how remarkable a response McCarthy has elicited, on the day he was appointed Cardiff trailed Bournemouth by 13 points and were 15th in the table following seven defeats in eight matches."
 
His first signing? Might we see this at Bloomfield road?

As a short term appointment it's brilliant. I'd like to think there's no chance of him being able to take it in the long term, and that we most likely have the next man lined up. Believe what you want about the board but he does not fit any of our long term goals, besides the biggest one, which is being very good at remaining in the Championship. Therefore he will only be hired for that one reason, and somebody else will have to come in and tick the other boxes.

The football is not going to be 2010 Ian Holloway, that's for sure. But solid defending and effective use of set pieces, in the short term, will feel like watching Barcelona in comparison to the last few months. Here is a man who is very good at winning football games and built a successful career out of it.

You can say it's a similar type of appointment to Grayson and say he's yesterday's man, but let's be honest, Grayson had very little success at this level and Mick is a higher caliber with a better reputation. Totally different.

Plus, from time to time, he's a funny fucker. I've missed that on Saturday evenings.

I think Sadler will live or die by this decision. It is already not going down well so if it doesn't work then I think he will proactively look for a buyer for the club.

A brave decision and a stroke of genius if it works, a work of madness if it doesn't.

Good luck Mick, you're going to need it!!

Yes Herts, that's what it will all come down to now, if we get relegated on goal difference it will be classed as a stupid appointment and if we stay up on goal difference it will be genius.

Personally, I'm happy to go with McCarthy to the end of the season and wish him all the very best.

It doesn't need to be one or the other. We can stay up playing attractive football and can go down playing turgid hoof ball. I think he would be a bad appointment

And we could go down playing attractive football too Larry. Unfortunately we are in a relegation battle and we need someone with championship experience and whilst MM will be far from everybody’s 1st choice we all hope he can pull it off in whatever style is necessary, assuming he gets the job of course!

Does well he keeps us up, he wins a deal.
 
One thing I am certain of and this is not with the benefit of hindsight - if we had appointed McCarthy post Critch, I’d have been a lot happier than I was when I found out we had appointed Appleton.

Whoever gets the gig, come what may, we will be stuck with them until the end of the season, so now is the time more than ever to get behind the lads and manager and raise the roof. We are the mighty and no ground or set of fans is better than ours when we are on top form. Let’s get Bloomfield Road rocking again 👍❤️🍊
