:( I liked him, did a good job with f**k all

[ChuckleBantam]

Hasty decision. They'd have had far more of a fighting chance of coming back up with him.

[Yeadon Bantam]

Exactly, MCCARTHY FOR CITY

Exactly, MCCARTHY FOR CITY

He's exactly the kind of bloke to keep us up this season, given that our "mysterious investor" requires we maintain our division one status.

[meelin]

Can't really see the point of giving him the old heave ho now 10 games left, as good as relegated, caretaker in until the end of the season, unless him and the chairman have had some big bust up.

[Jantje]

Good honest manager who never seems to bullshit the press or supporters from what i've seen

[Yeadon Bantam]

SUnderland did the same with their last manager too.....

[Jantje]

i rate mcCarthy higher than Peter Reid though or do you mean Sgt Wilko & Cotterill

[Yeadon Bantam]

yes them!!

[Jantje]

He's also hard enough to kick some of our shirkers into shape if he had to, r u listening petta & cadders to name but 2

[Yeadon Bantam]

yup, but i dont think cadders is that bad he actually tries hes just fat i think

[Barmy]

Seems abit harsh givin him the sack with only 10 games to go when they have no chance of staying up anymore...
