McCarthy seems a dull idea but maybe hes the best we can get to the end of the season. Dont think he plays expansive football .
Good 'cos we're shit at that.McCarthy seems a dull idea but maybe hes the best we can get to the end of the season. Dont think he plays expansive football .
Does it bollocks!!Christ this better be good. Very underwhelming, part of me wants Appleton back. Surely much better names out there, and the fact it’s til the end of the season screams cheap and no money.
Concerned
Mansford and McCarthy were 20 years apart at BarnsleyIf he’s a mate of mansfords then that’s good enough for me, what could possibly go wrong
Are you really still making stuff up like you're in the board room.Deal is done. We’re not considering anyone. The choice is made
Exactly what's required.Critchball EXTREME in essence.
Just don't wear a baseball cap to the game......you won't see much !!I quite like Mick McCarthy as a football character. He has more wins than defeats in all his managerial appointments (except for his short term in Cyprus), and if he can win more than he loses here we might just stay up hopefully.
Good luck to him (and us!).
PS I think we know it isn’t going to be pretty though!
Supposedly due in Blackpool this afternoon with his entourage. You'd think if he's making the effort to travel here then everything would have been agreed previously over the phone / zoom call.Thinking if not announced shortly there is a stumbling block. Big Mick will want to be on the training ground today if he’s coming, he’s not a sit in the stands and watch the first game sort of bloke
Exactly this. Netflix will be in touch soon.Yet, the club will still keep paying the wages to the people who 'strategise' despite the strategy being in the bin and the bin being on fire and everyone running round shouting 'panic, panic, panic'
This could be one mad shift for people.'The problem is Madine!'

'The solution is Madine!'
We're in that lull period now after the initial surge where it starts to sound like the target has met with Big Ben in the Brannagan's Pond suite and then decided against itWish they'd hurry up and announce it so I can find out how 'whelmed' everybody is.
They're just squeezing him into the box for the promo video.We're in that lull period now after the initial surge where it starts to sound like the target has met with Big Ben in the Brannagan's Pond suite and then decided against it
Bloody Hell - that is a commute! End of the day it's a effectively a 3 month job which will be worth sacrificing home time for.Currently lives here in Kent and plays a course near my club. So will be commuting up and down.
I agree with all of that? The only thing I'd add is that I don't think he sees it as long-lerm either. And that's another reason why it is a great fit for both parties.He may only be until the end of the season at which point we can re-evaluate. I wouldn't be happy with him long term, but there's only a limited number of managers with plenty of championship experience we could get imo, because most will be beyond our budget or currently employed.
Just to be clear, I don't love the appointment, I just think it makes some sense. I get why the club would do it in our position, whereas the MA appointment was bizarre and totally avoidable.
Yep, he may just prove to be a good fit for us. I'm certainly optimistic.I agree with all of that? The only thing I'd add is that I don't think he sees it as long-lerm either. And that's another reason why it is a great fit for both parties.
But things may develop over time. If he keeps us up playing a more direct, but more entertaining style, than the turgid stuff we have been experiencing recently, then many of us would want him to stay on next season.
From his perspective, he may just love the craziness of it all with us and the atmosphere when Bloomfield is bouncing. We certainly offer him a different challenge to what he has experienced before, especially with the investment going into the training facility and younger player development. So you never know he may be tempted to stay and take the club forward
