Mick's next club 20:59 - Jan 25 with 9195 views | RoyKeanesDog | MM has said before that he Ipswich won't be his last managerial position, who do you think he will go to next? His performance with us would've impressed club owners IMO, and I think a Championship club with even a slightly bigger budget would snap him up. If he was to go to Hull next season and was given £5m I think he'd win the league with them, if not his first season then the season after. One thing's for sure- he will beat us every time we play him, and unfortunately he will probably be heavily booed. | |

I wouldn't rule out the idea of him going to Norwich either. He clearly hates us and is only attempting to succeed this season in a bizarre attempt to prove a point out of spite. | |

Mick's next club on 21:08 - Jan 25 with 4177 views | Bigalhunter | I wouldn't rule out a spell at Barnsley. I don't know how much their owners are going to ultimately throw at a promotion push, but he's the perfect candidate, even if it's only a modest budget. Only the most small minded imbeciles would boo him. So most of the 'five to fivers' over on the news section I guess. | | | |

I'm not sure if he'd buy into the 'Moneyball' concept of Barnsley, and he would risk jeopardising his emotional connection with the club if things don't go to the plan. Mind you, the Barnsley fans probably don't feel as entitled to total football success like we do, so they might embrace his faultless ability to churn out results. | |

The 'five to fivers' ... haha. Not heard that before but it's a good 'un. | |

Mick's next club on 21:14 - Jan 25 with 4125 views | hype313 | He's been here 5 years and plenty of clubs have changed managers in that time, yet he has not been considered for one of them. He's basically been treading water for 5 years, hardly an inspiring guy to get you promoted or stave off a relegation battle. | |

But let's be clear, he's doing Moneyball now just "wi out a fancy dan computer and all that nonsense" | |

We don't know that. Not everything gets aired in public, although highly unlikely it wouldn't leak out. | |

How often does a manager get approached though, especially within the same division? And how many Championship clubs have had their manager approached even from outside the division? I might be completely wrong but it seems rare no matter how well they're doing. | |

Maybe, but no one has aggressively tried to poach him, let's be honest it wouldnt be difficult for him to turn down other offers, more money, taken us as far as he could mantra would come into play. And if it was Fulham then the be closer to home would certainly be in the equation. Mick's done a decent job here on a shoestring no doubt, but if he was really revered, it wouldn't have taken much for any club over the past 5 years to pinch him. | |

Valid point, and I might very well be wrong too, I just think if he was really sought after then it wouldn't have taken much to prize him away. As I say, maybe approaches have happened, I don't know, this is just my thoughts. | |

But for 3 years he was a hero here, and probably felt this was the place for him. It's only the stupidity of the last 18 months that have allowed people to buy into the bedsheet and Archant style bollox. Over that time he's probably not had the same level of interest, or financial incentive to start over. To go from no approach to aggressive pursuit is a different matter entirely and again one we'll never really know. Mick will walk into a job, meanwhile we'll probably become Rotherham upon Orwell while Evans lets us rot. | |

Mick's next club on 21:37 - Jan 25 with 3962 views | SuperTommySmith | An interesting question I thought of was say he was at a new club next season or the one after. He had a thing for going for players from his time with Wolves. What players from his time with Ipswich would he try to sign? Assuming he's at championship level. | | | |

I think Bart would be a definite target. He's consistently bigged Gerken up as a equal to Bart but I'm not convinced. | | | |
