City fan 78 Posted April 4, 2020 I always liked McCarthy's straight talking. Under the circumstances he's made the right decision. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Angry 1,555 Posted April 4, 2020 I wonder if he had any Ipswich style final message for the fans? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
K Lo 224 Posted April 5, 2020 I just read this BBC article and saw that Denmark was also changing coaches too; a real Norwich City blast from the past !!

wcorkcanary 4,334 Posted April 5, 2020 Feel for Mick , as he came in to get his Country out of a hole. Stephen Kenny is a bright prospect though. Did a fantastic job both with Dundalk and Irish u21s. This decision may well precipitate an overhaul of the National squad as Kenny oversees a totally different style to Mick, in fact not dissimilar to our own. Will be very interesting to see how this pans out, the Playoff v Slovakia could in theory be Kennys first game in charge, if no friendly or Nations cup games are arranged beforehand. If SK goes with youth rather than experience, then of course Adam Idah will feature as hes one of SKs " Four Strikers" ... he has referenced the wealth of attacking options before ,stating hed happily play any or all of them......a bit of a change from Mick I reckon.

Rock The Boat 1,330 Posted April 6, 2020 Why is it that Mick steps down but Harry and Meghan steps back? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Was Mick not always a short term appointment? I thought he was only expecting to be in for 12 months whilst Kenny got some experience of the national setup and could be raised into this level of management...

Mick was contracted till end of euro campaign, original dates of course. Once that was postponed, something had to give. Weirdest bit is that recently robbie Keane was given a four year 5k a week deal by fai. .He is not part of stephen Kenny's coaching staff, though he was part of mick's.
