Only one manager ever got Wolves promoted, and McCarthy has far less to spend than he does, as well as offloading most of their top players to cut the wage budgetQuote:

Didn't you say 2 worst ever points totals?Quote:

I meant last season, look at the players he had to offload, compared to the players he brought in - Kightly was playing in the Conference! - and he still managed to get into the play offs.Quote:

I love the way when people try and defend McCarthty they somehow bring Keane into the equation....Its always the way. Keane's performance at Sunderland is irrelevant to the point being discussed.Quote:

we will see at the end of the season,.....but i guarantee Sunderland will stay up.. at least keano trys to play football....under McCarthy sunderland didnt have a full house for one match in the premiership due to his sickening style of football...he is statistcally (over a period of 20 or more games) the worst premiership manager of all time...next ireland manager,,,all the muppet leprechaun brigade are alive and well!!Quote:

As for the muppet leprachaun brigade, I guess it's only alright to dress up as a leprachaun when you're getting a nice wedge off walkers crisps to do it yeah?
Chaps, we are tryng to move forward, not back.
So, NO to McCarthy, Kerr and Jack.
Keano for the job in 2012. ;)
we had no squad of any quality or depth whatsoever for that campaign. it was barely better than the teams you mention. all of charltons players were either gone or were well past their time for that campaign. to oversee new young players come in and still manage to come within a very dubious belgium play-off winner of wc 98 was a major achievmentQuote:

Liverpool fan?? :D:D Some of us follow Irish football mate rather then w#nking off at the gates of Anfield of the theatre of shi1te.
just the highlights...did you see the newcastle game before that, as well as the city game before that? They try to keep the ball on the floor..not like Mick as a player and as a manager!! hee haw...donkey
I dont follow united or liverpool or anyone else bar ireland for that matter..might have guessed you were one of the self-righteous group of LOI fans. Do you want a blue peter badge?..ya hardly have a chip on your shoulder lad, hardly!!!

However, like any manager you become stale in the one job, and I believe the World Cup was possibly McCarthy's summit. With hindsight he should have walked after Suwon. I wish he had too.
Think you'll find it was Lionel Hutz mate.Quote:
