Mick himself 19:07 - Jan 18 with 2910 viewsFrimleyBlue

Now. I dont know Mick. But surely hes reached a point where he feels himself he is just being a money grabber who can not take this club further.

Surely hearing and seeing the increasing fan uproar he would have left a month or so ago after quite frankily an awful 18 months of football.

Hes gone from savour to villain and it will only get worse.

Go now mick to preserve the respect you deserve for keeping us up when you came in rather than leaving on a sour note and all your hard work forgotten.

Some of you need to get in the real world. He is a football manager who has made it clear he believes he is doing a good job 'under the circumstances' and think we're overreacting. He has no prior loyalty to Ipswich and the man who pays his wages clearly loves him and wants him to stay. In what world is he going to walk away from his contract? When he eventually leaves he will walk into another job at a club with money and probably be a success. Fan criticism isn't going to bother him and i'd imagine as he goes about his day to day life no one who comes into contact with him says a negative word to him. Can you imagine TWTD's most abusive face to face with him? They'd probably ask for an autograph. The media give him an easy ride as well. Why would he resign? In fact, blue tinted specs off, why SHOULD he resign? There is certainly a case for someone without ITFC loyalty and love doing a good job under the circumstances so I can see why he keeps pushing that line.

Truly impaired.

I don't understand this viewpoint at all. Would you walk from a job, even if you were professionally and personally criticised / attacked almost daily, if staying meant a potential £2mil+ payout?

Like feck is he walking.

As much as I feel Mick is the wrong man for the job right now, any manager in that job is going to believe himself to be the right man. The moment he doubts himself to be that right man, they should leave the role.

Managers have to be thick skinned, perhaps even arrogant to a certain level, and take a lot of abuse. Even if us fans think they are wrong, they have to keep that belief.

And give Mick credit, he believes he is the right man and doing the right thing. If he suddenly changes the whole approach to matches, the team and the fans/press, then the end is nigh.

Although I suspect, even if he won every match between now and the paly-off final which he wins for us at Wembley this season, I doubt many fans will change their beliefs in him now.

It's pretty obvious he's going to leave on a sour note, too many people have turned, but if anyone chooses to slag him off over thanking him for what he's done for us (even if it's petered out into stagnation) then they're a massive div.

Just because I don't care doesn't mean I don't understand.

Yes, I would walk. There's a lot more to life than money, esp when you've already earned enough to ensure your own and your family's security.

Thank him for a playoff finish? We lost to our local rivals, in the semis, itbwasnt like we got to Wembley and narrowly lost on pens.

Think mick will stay until he is sacked. It will affect him but not too much. Plus the payout too expensive lifestyle he lives.

Saving us from almost certain relegation then providing us with a glimmer of light and some enjoyment for the first time in years.

Agree a lot of what we had has been lost but still have a lot to thank him for, even if he leaves on bad terms, which it looks like he will.

Wolves fans said this would happen - deliver some pride and good times at the club, but would end up ostracising a part of the fanbase and leave on bad terms when it could have been much better. After a bit of time everyone came round and appreciated what he'd done.

Where/if he goes next, maybe he should employed as a short term trouble shooter.

Go in, get job done, get out.

2 year contract only. Or something.

His resignation would deflect some of the humiliation from the club in my opinion and for a 'proud footballing man', there's integrity in doing that. However, despite being very wealthy, money clearly talks louder and despite building a good reputation here, he appears to be perfectly at ease with squandering that for the readies - a sad indictment of the modern game.

The flip side is he probably thinks he can claw back the adulation of the fans with a few wins and maintain the mediocrity and we'll be happy because he's done his job. Sadly though, the damage is done.

Mick's words of being a proud man ring hollow to me now in the face of that public humiliation. His words after the game didn't carry the passion id expect from someone hurting. He can have my cash, it means nothing to me, but he's lost all my respect.

totally disagree. MM's brand of football has turned thousands away, including the young'uns that are tomorrow's fans.

As well as two years of ineffective hoofball we have had consistently inconsistent results, an increasingly tarnished image (and so losing young fans) and fans turning against the club.

It's only because we've had such cr@p managers before that folk like you can't see how bad at his job he really is.

Would you resign from a job if you knew that you leaving would mean 3/4 others would probably lose their job to including your best mate who has worked hard for you.

Can't disagree with your logic there, but on the other hand, he's not doing himself any favours with regard to future employment the longer he stays on here.

Can you imagine any football club owner/chairman employing him and TC if they saw that dispay the other night? I know it was just one game, but his reputation is rapidly going downhill (in the eyes of fans anyway), and he'll end up just becoming the kind of manager who gets called in to save a club short-term, probably in Leagues 1 or 2.

Didn't Jewell walk when he finally realised he could do no more? Probably takes more guts than staying somewhere you're clearly not wanted.

The problem is I doubt you'll find a football manager with a thicker skin than McCarthy...there's no way he'll walk away from his pension pot.

The whole "saviour" thing is getting on my tits now too..he took over a decent squad 10 weeks into a season - any half decent manager would and should've easily kept us up.

The football on offer since has been below average at best..it won't improve until he's gone.

Mostly agree except for I think it's obvious that the fan criticism really does bother him, as it should.

Mick is a proud man and I think he's hurting badly with how things are at the moment.

He probably doesn't feel his is a money-grabber at all.

I expect he genuinely feels he can turn it round and is doing his best to do so - whether we agree with that or not is a different matter.

But I don't get the impression he is only interested in money, and to suggest he is, is personally insulting to him.
