Course you are mate. 2 things though,

1) It was a light hearted reply aimed at someone else who'd called me a 'sorry ass Liverpool fan' for daring to criticise Royston which was a pretty brainless assumption.

2) What's a bad ****?? :D

Btw at no stage have I suggested or would be in favour of McCarthy coming back, I just have issues with teh way his term in charge has been rewritten. Fact is he's our second most sucessful manager ever, if anyone thinks otherwise they're obviously a moron.

Hmm, got Millwall to the play offs and had them top of the league when he left. Got Sunderland to the play offs and won the Championship teh following season. Got Wolves to the play offs. I get what you mean but that would suggest he'd an excellent manager at Championship level or at the very least something a lot more then ok.

I presume your talking about Keane here, his influence on the team heavily outweighed that on the managers at the time. All the players continuously referred to how Keane made them play better, McCarthy was just along for the ride.

He was at the end of his career and was suffering from hip problems, shows your lack of knowledge of irish football.
