Indy 3,300 Posted February 26, 2017 Given the shite he''s had to work with and that environment, he''s a bloody miracle worker.Not stink I''d want him here but gets more out of his ragbag set of players in effort and organisation then AN ever has! Just shows how far our team of 57 million pounds is underperforming. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rogue Baboon 0 Posted February 26, 2017 He knows how to set up a team and get the best out of them. Wouldn''t surprise me if he gets a job in the Prem next season.He''s far better than Ipswich... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Indy 3,300 Posted February 26, 2017 Just noticed......."don''t think"that should say........You might be right, certainly can get more out of players than most at this level. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yellowbeagle 0 Posted February 26, 2017 I agree, i dont like the football his teams play but he is a good manager. On the up side i think Ipswich will make a change in manager, i then think they''ll realise just what a good job he''s done on zero resources. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

king canary 7,606 Posted February 26, 2017 Meh. Yeah he''s fine but if we ever went to Ipswich and set up with that little ambition I''d be embarrassed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nutty nigel 7,534 Posted February 26, 2017 If he was our manager and you watched that shat week in week out I suppose you''d change your mind and renew Indy... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Baldyboy 0 Posted February 26, 2017 Iwan Roberts was spot on when he said that if McCarthy was our manager that our defenders would have learned how to defend properly by now! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted February 26, 2017 We''ve already got a manager who sets up to stop the opposition on most occasions.McCarthy could have brought in players with a bit more attacking intentions but instead has chosen to bore and defend his way to safety. Fair enough and he might well have added something to our defensive setup.Does anyone at NCFC really want that week in week out? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Highland Canary 76 Posted February 26, 2017 We certainly need loads of defensive midfielders to eek out a draw at home against a team of 1p5wich''s quality. Eight more years... you couldn''t make it up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GJL Mid-Norfolk Canary 1,749 Posted February 26, 2017 is he a good manager?.....I don''t think I''ve seen a team more guilty of being blatantly instructed by a manager to lump it aimlessley forward. yes, we''re guilty of a long ball, but by and large its for someone to run onto. Berra for instance, every time is just putting his foot through it as hard and long as he can, and theyve been doing this for a few seasons now. regardless of resources , its a fairly low grade of football Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Indy 3,300 Posted February 26, 2017 No Nutty, I''m bored with the match days, doesn''t matter who the manager is, I''ve not renewed and won''t change my mind thanks.Just making the point that he''s spent something like a tenth of what AN has in his time with the binners and he got an inferior team to draw both times with us.Like I said if you bothered to read my op I wouldn''t want him here but he''s definitely got more about him that AN.

JF 694 Posted February 26, 2017 To be honest it would be harder for a manager not to get our squad in the top 6 of this league. So would McCarthy have done better than Neil with this squad? No one knows for sure but the chances are he would have Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Indy 3,300 Posted February 26, 2017 He is a good manager, like it or not, he''s got a pile of shite and we''ve not managed to beat them this season.£57 million worth of AN signings and we can''t beat them, I''d say he''s a good manager, but heck you can all form your own opinions.

Highland Canary 76 Posted February 26, 2017 McCarthy, much like Lambert, gets more from his team than the sum of the parts. No one could accuse Neil of that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nutty nigel 7,534 Posted February 26, 2017 Well he''s certainly getting more out of his team than Bruce at Villa or Lambert at Wolves and Blacburn. Or even Lennon did at Bolton. So better than them for sure. But for me you lot can keep him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Are you trying to suggest that we haven''t spent a fortune on players when compared to Ipswich? Because that''s the sentiment here, no need for you to be pedantic about it - if we can''t use the reported figures as an estimation of a player''s fee than what can we use? Just nothing - don''t use them?
