McCarthy: My Future? I'm Sick of Talking About It - Ipswich Town News
Blues boss Mick McCarthy wouldn’t be drawn into discussing his future at this lunchtime's pre-match press conference, saying he is “sick of talking about” that as well as the continuing schism with a large section of the club’s fans.
McCarthy is out of contract at the end of the season but with owner Marcus Evans having an option to keep him for a further two years.
Speaking on BBC Radio Suffolk’s Life’s a Pitch on Saturday, managing director Ian Milne said that there would be some news on the management situation around the time that season ticket prices for next season are announced in a couple of weeks.
"I heard that and I’ve heard that second hand from you and now from somebody else,” McCarthy said at a spiky and unusually brief press conference when asked about Milne’s comments and any ongoing developments regarding his future.
"At the minute I just say, ‘Mind your own business and everybody else’ because I’m sick of talking about it.
"I’m sick of talking about me and I’m sick of talking about fans and reactions. Talk about the game and I’m cool. If not, I’m out of here.”
Asked whether the summer was the next time the subject ought to be broached, he responded: "I’ve just said, I’m sick of talking about it. I come in here [the media room] every time and I’m up to me tonsils with it. Talk about something else. Ask me another question.”
