Fulham Again Linked With McCarthy - Ipswich Town News
Championship strugglers Fulham continue to be linked with a summer move for Blues boss Mick McCarthy.
The Cottagers, who are 20th, eight points off the relegation zone despite receiving lucrative parachute payments following their relegation from the Premier League, were previously mentioned in connection with McCarthy last month.
According to today’s Irish Independent, Fulham owner Shahid Khan is willing to meet Town’s compensation requirements to land the 56-year-old with a four-year contract worth €10 million (£7.3 million) - including a promotion clause - and a big budget on offer at Craven Cottage.
McCarthy, whose family home is still in Bromley, signed a new three-year deal with the Blues last summer.
Current Fulham manager Kit Symons took over, initially as a caretaker-boss, following the departure of Felix Magath in September and is contracted until the end of next season.
