6 pts off 6th place. It will go Ape in here if he gets them into the Play offs. God help us if they were to go up. |  |

I want to see Cardiff do well whilst Mick is there; I’d love to see him take them up. The treatment of Mick was abysmal by some at the end though he hardly helped matters himself. It was time for him to leave and it was the decisions that were made afterwards which led us to the position we’re in now. |

Mick's a good manager, Cardiff have a chance of going up under him.
I wouldn't pay to watch his football though and I enjoy going to Portman Road, hopefully one day we'll have a team playing entertaining football with a bit of success thrown in too! |  |

What does MM stand for? |
So he can be close to the pitch and motivate the team. PL prefers to sit |  |

To even compare Mick's time here with Lambert's is laughable. Mick held us in the Championship despite Evans in control. Lambert has got us struggling in a division lower. |  | | |

‘It was time for him to leave’ or ‘his time was up’ are two of the most overused statements by those in denial of the fact MM was driven out by a minority
Maybe this could be Blue Action’s next display? |  | | |

"MM was driven out by a minority" is very much a re-write of history.
If attendances had been rising and most fans had been enjoying watching Ipswich Town, it wouldn't have mattered how loud the "numbskulls" had shouted. |  |

But the numbskulls rhetoric ensured the atmosphere became toxic and contributed to a downward spiral.
Had the crowd got behind the team in a way they did when we went down with a whimper who knows, but I suppose they’ll argue the football was better and they were getting excited of the prospect of ticking off some new grounds [Post edited 14 Feb 2021 15:59]

Here's a January 2018 poll from here:
58% wanted him out.
Another local newspaper poll had 80% of respondents wanting him out: https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11096/11326160/mick-mccarthy-leaves-ipsw
A majority of Ipswich fans did want McCarthy gone. By the end, he couldn't persuade a majority of the fan base that they wanted to watch his football, so McCarthy went. Not because of an angry minority but because of a frustrated majority.
Majorities are often wrong, but it's certainly the case that there was a majority. [Post edited 14 Feb 2021 16:03]

Cheers for that, it makes me feel my so much better
Remind where we are at the moment in terms of league position. We’re so much better without him | | | |

"Of course there may be the added benefit of Cardiff beating the scum in the POs"
I would absolutely LOVE it if that happened! |
You guys made it sound plausible but it appears there are 18 points between the two teams and there's what, 17 games left? | | | |

Did you enjoy watching most of matches in his last season or two then?
To you is there nothing like an well organised defence to get your heart racing, or grinding out yet another 0-0 home draw to make you feel like singing his name?!?!? | |

I won’t deny that the football was a little turgid at times but given where we are now it was like being at the Nou Camp.
Maybe if the crowd had of got behind the team, those nil-nil’s could’ve been 1-0’s, who knows.
For me style is irrelevant, I’d be more than happy to watch my team win far more than they lose and challenge at the top of the league. If that means gritty 1-0’s I’d be happy. The problem is, modern football fans are obsessed with phone ins and talk sport and feel that you need to win every game playing like Brazil of the 70’s. [Post edited 14 Feb 2021 17:32]

This is the problem, people have got to stop comparing where we were and where we are now, NO one would have expected us to end up where we are
A solid 90% of this forum were happy with Hurst appointment
It's just a simple case of at that moment in time, a change was needed, sadly it's gone the wrong way just as easy as it could have been a successful change and Hurst got us up and we'd be saying Evans should have got rid of Mick earlier etc etc [Post edited 14 Feb 2021 17:33]

A ‘solid’ 90%? We’ll take your word for that and I’m sure you have a poll to back that up.
You’re correct, a change was needed because our Manager had quit
“It could’ve been a successful change”..... I think it was fairly clear after a few days/weeks after he had sold the best players and replaced them with ‘potential’, the writing was on the wall. I still shudder when I remember Toto and Nolan cost £2m
We swapped a Head chef for the kid who used to wash up and was totally out of his depth | | | |

Actually the manager didn't quit, his contract wasn't being renewed | |

What had george burley achieved when he joined as manager? besides playing for ipswich and managing colchester for a bit?
We took a gamble with George, it paid off
Hurst was a young upcoming manager, sadly he found his level very quickly, But for the first time in all of Evans's tenure he was at the time a smart choice and one which the fans craved. It could have very easily have gone the other way as quickly as it went the way it did. Hindsight is incredible [Post edited 14 Feb 2021 17:48]

Not sure but I suspect it’ll be in the same place as the polls that asked ‘is the football better’ or ‘are you looking forward to some new grounds’...... I think they were a ‘solid’ 90% too | | | |

Did you really just compare Paul Hurst to George Burley
Yes, the were both fairly novice in Management terms but I think George was an ex international, with a distinguished playing career behind him. Plus the fans already had a great deal of respect for him.
Paul Hurst was non league in more ways than one and had one season of near success to his name.
Hardly comparable | | | |

Im not doing a direct comparison no, but both were risks in their own ways
What Im saying is people can't keep saying look where we are now against what we had with Mick as Hurst could have very easily continued his rise up the leagues, he didn't of course and that's sht, but that's the risk you take with any management decision, but just because now is sht, it doesn't mean Mick leaving the club shouldn't have happened. | |
