Knudsen: I Don't Like the Way Fans Treated Mick - Ipswich Town News
Defender Jonas Knudsen has issued a staunch defence of former manager Mick McCarthy and says he’s unhappy with the way supporters treated him prior to his recent Portman Road exit.
"Some fans don’t want to hear it but everybody here loved Mick and nobody wanted him to leave,” The Danish international, who admitted earlier in the month that McCarthy’s exit could have some impact on his future, told The Sun.
"I don’t like the way they treated him - if you look at what he had done for the club, they have to be pleased with that.
"But they don’t want to hear that and it wasn’t right the way they did it. If we didn’t have him last year, we could have been in trouble. Maybe they have to be careful what they wish for.”
Knudsen, 25, was signed by McCarthy in the summer of 2015 from hometown club Esbjerg fB.
