Mick McCarthy

Implicit criticism therefore, not overtly stated, of those who habitually didn't turn up ( e.g. James McCarthy, Harry Arter, Kieren Westwood, etc ). What he didn't say was an absolute disgrace alright.

Not that it matters now anyway.

Officially announced as new coach till the end of the season by Blackpool. Can see it now, Mick keeps them up doing a good job and we struggle badly in the first two international windows of the qualifiers. FAI to hire Mick as Ireland coach for the third time. Be our version of what Darren Ferguson is to Peterborough.

First win for Mick today at home to Stoke.
