Our fans fearful of change? That's a big call, given the lynch mobs that hounded many of our managers in recent times - including the incumbent. That's a fair point Brick, in fact when is a manager not hounded out of a team. Maybe I should have phrased it that there are fans that will look at the right now and fans that focus on the near future. Example being a player like Whelan, right now he is the best option we have in midfield, but in the next 6 months that is unlikely to be the case for two reasons, 1. Whelan's body is no longer capable in keeping up with younger players. We've seen this against Switzerland when he couldn't keep up with a player on the ball running past him. Age will get the better of us all. Wayne Rooney also an example. 2. Younger players are getting better and better every game. Players like Molumby, Knight and Cullen are untested but are exceeding expectations from the start of the season. So taking Into account the position we are in now with playoffs, the virus, the season effectively on pause. Do we look now to the future and put Kenny in place and pick players like molumby or do we continue to focus on now with all the uncertainty?

All the best to Mick and his neighbors. Going through the wringer like all of us right now.

You asked if I'd be anyone from history, fact or fiction, dead or alive:
I said "I'd be Tony Cascarino, circa 1995" |

I wonder if he'd get the €305 a week as he is working in Ireland? Only joking. I hope he doesn't have it and that his neighbours all recover okay.

Love him or hate him you have to consider Mick McCarthy as an ireland legend.
His first involvement with the ireland national team was with the u23s way back in 1979. He was last capped for the ireland senior team in 1992. Became ireland manager for the first time in 1996 and the end of his 2nd stint as manager in April 2020. His involvement with ireland spans 41 years!!!! That ybig must cement him into legend status.

Does anybody really hate him? He will always be an Irish legend. Played for and managed his country in a World Cup. I doubt we will see that again. |

He isn't universally popular in Cork for some reason, and a cohort of Man United fans also dislike him. For reasons completely unknown. |

Has Moleman commented on developments yet? Or has he gone to ground during COVID-19?

I'm alive and well. Thanks for your concern. I hope all the ybiggers out there get through this unscathed and we can enjoy Ireland doing well sometime soon in the future. #stayhome #staysafe #BeKind

What to say about our Mick really? I suppose we should start with the positive part - thank absolute f*ck we are done with him. Finally. Gone. An abomination of a manager overseeing one of the most appalling campaigns any Irish fan could ever have witnessed. Dross is an understatement. Remember 18 months ago when numerous posters on this forum were arguing that this spoofer was going to have Ireland playing attractive football? Remember that - those were glory days alright. Heady heady times.
His backside in the bacon slicer schtick wore thin over a decade ago for anyone with an ounce of sense, and all you were left with was a bog standard over the hill manager, who was way out of his depth unless operating in the lower realms of any competitive league. League 1 is about his lot at best these days, but I don't expect to see him toiling there anytime soon with the pension pot he picked up from the FAI. So that's 5 campaigns McCarthy has been part of. 1 qualification. The campaign gone will hopefully be remembered as his signature campaign though. Forgetting Gibraltar, we won 1 game out of 6 qualifiers. The plan to draw ourselves to qualification by praying a concoction of crazy results elsewhere would see us over the line, well that amazingly backfired. A campaign of total non football, completely outdoing any campaign before in that regard. Pound for pound, McCarthy TC and RK will go down as one of the most expensive mistakes in Irish football history. Does anyone have the breakdown of the pension pot received, will it total 3 million for McCarthy alone? Excluding possible add-ons if we qualify, you couldn't make it up. Add TC and RK in and are you looking at 4 million for the management team in this campaign My f*cking God, you couldn't make it up. Works out at about 500k per match I suppose the main thing though is our Mick got his shot at it. A big chunk of the Irish football faithful were delighted to see him back, who would have possibly thought it could play out like this. As for the succession planning, tbf that has worked a treat. Even the Robbie Keane situation looks like it was brilliantly thought through Bye Mick (our Mick for your official title). Enjoy the millions added to the pension pot that the FAI will be paying off for years in future. You will not be missed one bit, and please don't let the door hit you on the arse on the way out. Good f*cking riddance.
