RedEyez Posted July 5, 2020 Report Share Posted July 5, 2020 24 minutes ago, GrahamC said: Because? Outstanding record at Championship level (not just won promotion but has won the league, twice), did an amazing job with no money at Ipswich (look at them since he left). With Ireland he got them to a World Cup & has just got them to the Euros playoffs. He may not get the job but his CV is ******* impressive & I would be very disappointed if we didn’t speak to him. Ryan Lowe wouldn’t shock me, has won promotion in his last 2 seasons & seems more the sort that Ashton would want. I’d have Mick here in a shot, myself. Outstanding? All of that was about 20 years ago ! The blokes past it . One word, Ipswich. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully if he's showing a real interest in coming here it might impress the board. And championship winner and international manager isn't something to turn down.

In his last season there they finished 12th, one place below us, despite Mick having just £150k (!) to spend. After he left in the next season they finished bottom, 13 points from safety. Marcus Evans stopped giving their managers any money after the likes of Paul Jewell spent absolute fortunes on ageing, injury prone crap (like Pulis did with us). I wonder how Ipswich fans feel now, they lost at home to the Gas in December, that’s how far they have fallen post Mick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In other words, he couldn’t be less like Ashton if he tried. Watching those two attempting to work in tandem would be entertaining in itself. Mr. Suited Silver-Tongued Corporate Bullshit versus Mr. Call A Spade A Spade No Nonsense. And I’d like to see somebody sell his best players from under his nose without his approval. That’d be fun.

There's nothing wrong with selling a few players it's making sure you replace them with quality which comes down to having a decent scouting network and a manager that knows what he wants and can attract those players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Balls Posted July 5, 2020 Report Share Posted July 5, 2020 No one who has not achieved promotion out of this league. That has to be the minimum requirement. Then knock of a few from that group - Pulis, Warnock, Allardyce. Doesn’t actually leave that many. And I wouldn’t include Mick McCarthy on the “not wanted” list. I just agree with those who can’t see it working with Ashton! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun Taylor Posted July 5, 2020 Report Share Posted July 5, 2020 Ryan Lowe still holding is own as the early favourite with the bookies but not sure you would like his style of football and done nothing outside league 2 and fairly similar to Michael Flyn at Newport whose done a decent job with a fraction of the budget Lowe had Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweeneys Penalties Posted July 5, 2020 Report Share Posted July 5, 2020 McCarthy has demonstrated that he can keep a club stable whilst having little money to toy with....and thats exactly where we may be thanks to Covid 19. I really don't see SL gambling with the next appointment. He'd very definitely be on my list of people I'd like to see get the job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No nonsense, wealth of experience, respected and yet there is a clamour to have Warnock, I would be more than happy with Mick McCarthy, the pressers would go up a notch at least.
