Mick McCarthy

Mick McCarthy

So were waiting on Pearson and Maguire to return to save our season and AN job, what happens if Pearson gets suspended again and Maguire breaks down ? AN has still had enough quality in the side for results to have been better, Storey should’ve been starting by now alongside Davies, Barker should be starting Harrop should be given a run of games. Nmecha should be starting AN is making this lad look poor by insisting on pumping long balls upto him instead of into feet or down the channels. Nmecha has trained with city’s first team, can’t imagine guardiola asking Silva Debruyne Fernandinho Foden and others to pump it long for Nmecha

AN has made some mistakes but he has been dealt a poor hand in the transfer market (both ins and out), and with injuries and suspensions.

Getting Pearson back and eventually Maguire (hopefully) should help, and he needs to integrate Storey. Our lack of pace at the back today was frightening.

I think it’s pretty deluded to think we could find a new manager at short notice now who would make a big difference, or do a great deal better than AN under these circumstances. Staggering to consider a change at this point IMO.

Aye, but when is that point? WBA, villa and Wigan to come, if that’s another 3 defeats with say 8 goals shipped then we’d be on W1 D2 and L9. And it’s not really a big if on current form.

I’d actually expect him to do the decent thing and resign if that’s the situation. A couple of wins in the next 3 and it will look massively different, but you won’t find many who will be expecting that at this stage.

Obviously there would come a point where it becomes untenable, but I think, and hope, it won’t come to that. As I said I’m more positive after yesterday. Craps goals conceded but a lot of character shown in the 2nd half, something we haven’t seen yet, and we had them firmly on the ropes for half an hour. It’s a tough place to go too.

What would the point in bringing in Mick McCarthy be at this point. He heavily relies on a target man. We don’t bloody have one.

As I said, any new manager would be dealt the same poor hand as AN, and struggle to kick us on to the next level under this owner.

I’m not sure anyone would pick him, but it’s safe to say if there was a vacancy then he’d be high up the list I’m sure.

I wouldn't be disappointed if we had him as manager IF A.N was to leave(which I hope doesn't happen).
He's not become a bad manager after 9 games.
 
Not quite in the AN out camp yet but what about Steve Evans?
Probably a non starter as we'd have to give Posh a wack of compo. I believe he was touting himself to us when Grayson had a dodgy spell a few years back when he was at Mansfield.

I've been a big Alex Neil 'in' fan so far. But with the resources we have had available so far, we should not be bottom of the league.

It's a big week for the club. We have to win at least 1 of the games.

My views exactly but my concern is i just cannot see AN turning this around, he seemingly doesn't have the ability to make us hard to beat or solid. I am personally advocating for change although i want AN to prove me wrong, it just smells of Norwich MK2 for me.

If Neil got potted I'm pretty sure that Appleton would be his replacement (local, pretty cheap) and I can't see how he would be an improvement.

Alex Neil has effectively given his resignation with the way he has the team playing this season. When Hemmings gives him the pay off he is waiting for which needs to happen ASAP we need a manager who is out of work with proven experience of keeping a team in the Championship. Who would be better than Mick McCarthy?

All these threads suggesting alternatives to Alex Neil are knocking me sick.

No way should we be talking about him being potted yet.

Joking aside, this guy has by enlarge got the absolute best out of what he has available to him on a budget that makes PNE look like City.
Thought a bigger club than he's been at would have had a punt on him before now.

Some managers just seem to be best staying with a one club environment & ,for whatever reason, a number of factors lead to sustained success at that one club (Eddie Howe at Bournemouth being a case in point). I think Coleman fits in to this category. Talk of a replacement for AN is premature. He deserves the opportunity to turn this situation around when we have our strongest first 11 out (Person & Maguire included). Replacements mentioned are either unrealistic or guaranteed to produce turgid football
 
Mick McCarthy used to be Ireland manager, perfect for our Irish connections.

Sackings / Protests just a waste of time and counterproductive right now.
We need to produce two positive results this week first an foremost, that is what everybody should be focusing on.
If we lose both sure, things might change but can we not show the players we support them?
 
Definitely shouldn’t be looking to sack him just yet, still a lot of time to sort it out. Sorry but definitely not Mick, the reason he lost his last role was because he was completely boring and taking them no where. If Neil was to be replaced, they need to try and get the best they can, not fucking about with ex-players etc. through sentimental reasons or the next ‘up-and-coming’ manager from league one or below. It would be good (in that situation) to get a manager that can attract the better players that will prevent a situation that happened on deadline day where we lost a player to another team.

Its one of those careful what you wish for things with McCarthy - boring but safe. Look at Ipswich now

Ditto any club that ditches boring Allardyce then fall apart after he goes.

We need to take stock after the Wigan game. If Neil is still floundering there is a serious decision to make regardless of injuries.

The Cowley brothers at Lincoln have reignited a small club with 9,000 crowds. Would be interesting to see if they are the real deal or Graham Westley mark 2.
