I don't really like McCarthy and it started with the criticism so strongly of the fans
But I love the club and the football we are playing at the moment is half decent particularly when Waghorn Celina involved
I justify going to the games knowing that I will never sing MM's name again, that is my protest
Should you stop gong cos you don't like the manager I wouldn't

Playing Chambers at RB for a ridiculously long period of time - instead of going out and finding a natural player for that position.
That was exceptional man-management skills from a coach of 40yrs.
You could equally argue it was a stubborn move. |
Or that it worked during our most successful period under Mick so there was little reason to change it — and then, yes, went on for a season too long I agree.
If you think you know football better than Mick, as per the chap I was replying to, then fair enough. | |

Look, he's got things right - he's also got things wrong as well. David Wright has never really been replaced (too early to tell if Josh E is going to flourish regularly). So it's not all MM's fault. This has been an issue for a while at ITFC. |  | | |

The football that is playing by itself and the players who signed themselves.
Damn McCarthy for just being there in the way of it all.
Feck me he gets the blame when we're crap, but when we're not it's for some other reason.
It's not hard to see what there is to disagree with in your OP. [Post edited 18 Dec 2017 19:25]

" He is basically saying he knows more than the fans"
Well.... |
He probably does and I guess you could find plenty of managers who stick by certain players.
But MM has a style and I dare say if he had better funding he might well prove it works. To some extent he has this season with the signings he made as the team moves much better particularly against Reading who kept possession but did little. Possession for the sake of it is a waste and I felt that our closing down was excellent and counter-attacking more effective.
So lets move on and give team and manager our support 100%. It can only get better. |  | | |

Unfortunately after 5 years it is difficult to separate MM from the 'club' particularly when the MD and the Owner are fully supportinve of MM & what he does (or doesn't do). | | | |

I agree with all of your points.
The trouble with Mick is he thinks he is above criticism. Being critical of a manager is hardly a modern invention either is it. Surely even he must realise it goes with the territory of being a manager, and how you handle the criticism is extremely important, and despite the bluster Mick comes out with, he is listening to the fans whether he is willing to admit this is another thing all together.
Mick hasn't helped his own cause by being very ambiguous about his own contract situation. If Mick is as good a manager as he likes to think he is and given his contract situation, why have none of the bigger teams come in for him yet?.
I've always got the impression from Mick, that being the manager of Ipswich is a little bit below his status. | | | |

How have Mick's comments become so overblown and taken out of context is unbelievable.
Everything he has said is true and correct. |
He said, "Tabby is different class" every week for a whole season so i'd like to dispute that claim. |  |
