Pyro Pete 1,931 Posted January 19, 2023 To be fair, there's plenty of donkeys in the small village in the east too. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

One of Ipswich's better managers of recent years Micks a dry old facker, great sense of humour. His ' sexy football ' comment was a class act. I wouldnt want him as our manager but like him.

I guess it's a matter of perspective, but I thought with the resources he had, he did a good job keeping them in the Champs and after he left they were relegated ?

Indeed, but I think he got some sympathy from us for having to put up with working under Evans and for a binner manager, he came out of it quite well with us. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fair point, he always kept his dignity unlike Lambert ! It was also very amusing that there was a widespread view at the time that he was basically getting them to over-perform, then they sacked him and promptly went downhill, proving exactly that. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PockthorpePete 331 Posted January 20, 2023 I suspect this will be an important game for both clubs. Them syaing up, and us going up. I don't think he has any more love for the binners than we do. I think the approach should be of a shared dislike 'Mick McCarthy is our friend is our friend is our friend Mick McCarthy is our friend, he hates Ipswich' Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Agent McCarthy did a great job keeping his ex-club down the road away from promotion. He did get a lot of flack from the binners support who did not appreciate his negative tactics or why they were necessary. It culminated with him turning and telling them to "f-ck off." It was during a game against City, and they were very negative during that game and he was getting constant stick. However, Chambers scored a surprise equaliser for them in the last minute causing his reaction. They never appreciated that outburst though and the parting of the ways was inevitable even though he later apologised. A manager swearing at his own fans. Love the man .... it was binners he swore at after all. Edited January 20, 2023 by BroadstairsR Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Worthy Nigelton 1,080 Posted January 21, 2023 He was one of their best managers. Had them punching well above their weight as has been evidenced since his sacking. They're a top of L1/bottom Champ club in reality as much as they dont want to admit it. He had them mid-table/play-off chasing in the Champ. Hell of an achievement.
