I would hope McCarthy would get a decent welcome. It's clear he's a decent man when you hear how he helps others in the game like this. |  |

Mick McCarthy at Portman Road Sat? on 08:40 - Jan 27 by brogansnose | No, getting relegated is not a panacea to re-set and sort out a club. We were lucky that we got Gamechanger , plenty of other clubs get bought out chancers and shysters. Prior to the buy out we were firmly set to drop another league rather than get promoted. That relegation should never have happened and, let's not forget, that Mick saved us from the drop after Jewell. |
The truth is always inconvenient isn't it? Amazing how some claim to be such fans but have no clue about what actually happened here, let alone championing duds. |  |

Well, quite. We were on a downward spiral under Evans and got lucky with the takeover. I'm sure it's MM's relative success here, before it all went sour, that sees the level of vitriol he gets when the four Pauls, and Roy Keane were the worst five managers ever to venture near this club. Above all else I find the complete denial of our relative financial position, both when Mick was keeping us in the top half of the table on a bottom third budget, and since the takeover profoundly ignorant. Things are great at the moment and McKenna is a special manager but he's not managing at the same club that McCarthy was and it's important to recognise the context. |  |

Mick McCarthy at Portman Road Sat? on 09:57 - Jan 27 by unstableblue | Mick should get a good welcome. Deserved overall it and if we ignore 2 seasons of dire football and the haemorrhaging of the fan base. He’s also come across really well when covering Town as a pundit. I’d clap him on the pitch. Out of interest what was his FA cup game record here? [Post edited 27 Jan 2024 9:58]

Result yes. McCarthy performance no. We had 38 shots and hit the woodwork at least 4 times. It was a freak result but man it's a gut punch. |  |

Excuse me? mccarthy wasn't bothered at all by losing. He didn't care. The team didn't care on the pitch. |  | |  |

That Lincoln away still makes me shudder. This game was totally different in how it played out. Yes both poor results, but as you say, not a MM cup performance. |  | |  |
