Mick is the problem, not Marcus. 07:35 - Oct 16 with 44914 viewsamy73

Having seen virtually every game this season, I think we have a decent squad of players (some real gems in there) but there is something deeply wrong with the following:

training
Fitness and Injuries
selection
formation
tactics
substitutions

None of these problems - none of them at all - are down to Marcus. Blame him for the catering if you like, but not this.

I truly believe with a better manager, we could be top of the league. With Mick, I think it can never happen, because I just don't think he and TC have the ability to manage at a high level.

I hope Marcus acts sooner rather than later. I know he has been at most games this season so he can't be blind to this. I hope he is starting to look for a replacement now.

We’re his fifth permanent club and he’s played for 8 in total...


Then by that token Tom Lawrence is also a journeyman because he has played for Man Utd, Carlisle, Yeovil, Leicester, Rotherham, Blackburn, Cardiff, Ipswich and Derby.
Personally I think of journeymen as entering the twilight of their careers.

Utterly delusional.

No manager is going to ever succeed here if some supporters can't understand what we are up against in this division with the funding model we have.

It's getting to the stage where Mick may as well just walk away, because there is so much irrational dislike of him here when he is doing a good job with what he has at his disposal.


Our worst finish in 50 years is a good job?

Another season under McCarthy where the wheels look like they're falling off early doors. Hopefully it's the last one.

Norwich game is huge for McCarthy.

"Our worst finish in 50 years is a good job? "

Only the likes of you and Benters keep repeating this.

Are you seriously suggesting the climate has been comparable over the past 50 years?

It's a different monster completely and to even bring that into any equation is desperate surely?

And he appointed him (and Clegg and Keane and PJ).

But apart from that...

No! Not having that.

Mick brought in Clegg, and Keane, and Jewel.

It's obvious, if not ridiculous.

When Mick does go, I do fear for his replacement straight away.

If he's not deemed as "fit to be an ITFC Manager" on appointment and then not deliver a couple of wins straight away, then he's heading down the same route as Mick with some of our support.

Should Mick leave before Christmas, are they board likely to take a chance on an up-and-coming, young manager? I'd suspect not. Expect a dog-of-war type who, strangely enough, sees this role as simply a job and not the creation of memories and wonderful footballing nights under the floodlights that some crave for still.


Like life, start off with low expectations and you won't get disappointed.

It is a completely different monster, the climate has completely changed, and McCarthy can't adapt.

This is the third season in a row where he doesn't even have a plan A.

Quite. I'm not particularly a Mick basher or supporter, but the common denominator in our current slump is clearly ME. Although Mick doesn't help himself sometimes. Still, nowt I can do about it.

You're right. The "likes of" was out of order.

I meant to say I've only noticed you 2 saying this same line.

Apologies on that respect.

Or if I don't like the way he runs the club I don't bother to go anymore - which appears to be the option taken by thousands of ex season ticket holders!


Are you saying that Evans is at fault because he hasn't replaced MM? or are you suggesting that all those supporters stopped going to watch Town because they blame Evans for the lack of entertainment over the last two seasons?

Yeah but we are lucky to have Mick!

All of the other Championship clubs would love a manager like Mick.

I just hope he doesnt get another two years here !

Mick Out!


I get the dislike many have for Mick on here, I find the mocking laughable at best.

For the record, many a club would like him as their manager. Namely Sunderland. Bet they'd have him back in heartbeat.

Will be very interesting overtime when whoever does come in does their job and what people made of Mick 5-10 years down the line.

I'm saying that Evans is ultimately responsible for the state of ITFC today. He makes the managerial appointments, he decides on the level of investment and pricing etc.

His ten years of ownership has seen our fan base decline by 40%, a trend which started well before the last two years although it has accelerated since 2015.

Namely all the defenders and midfield players, thus having to play 4 strikers on more than one occasion, have you forgotten that already?. granted, we got lucky (and you make your own luck) with a couple of results, but at least it seemed a lot more exciting to watch.

It happened (well 58 yrs as it goes) just as we made the playoffs (great) and finished 7th (good).

I don't want to be overly picky, but I'd sooner start the search for a new manager as soon as Mick's contract expires rather than wait till he gets us promoted and then see all his shortcomings in the first 6 months of a Premier League season and have to start afresh with a new manager as we look relegation in the face for the following 3 months.


That is being quite picky, if anyone can get us promoted under this regime then they have my full support as it would be a near-miracle

Also don't worry - he kept Wolves up for 2 seasons in his last effort so there would be plenty of time to search for a replacement

Oh right,so when you said his favourites you did not actually mean those that usually get suspected as being his favourites but you meant new signings.All clear now.

It's amazing how one playoff can wipe the memory of Keane and Jewell...

I'd love to backtrack (if i could be bothered) and see how many moaners we crying out for more stability, non-relegation, maybe a promotion sniff and finally not shipping goals for fun (when we have a full squad to choose from)
