Price on McCarthy's Head - Ipswich Town News
Town have placed a £1 million compensation fee on manager Mick McCarthy’s head, according to one of this morning’s tabloids.
The Blues have set the price, The People reports, with McCarthy recently strongly linked with the Republic of Ireland job, although no approach was ultimately made, while Crystal Palace were also said to be eyeing the Blues boss before appointing ex-Stoke manager Tony Pulis as Ian Holloway's successor.
The 54-year-old took over at Town a year ago this month and is contracted until the summer of 2015.
Meanwhile, former Blues manager Paul Jewell reportedly could be part of Pulis’s Palace staff. Jewell has been doing media work since leaving Town 13 months ago.
