    Whatever you think about Mick McCarthy, you have to give the guy credit. He found a good job with a massive Championship side looking to push on and get promoted back to the Premier League after seventeen days of being unemployed.

    Mick has done well over the years, often taking teams of limited means and helping them punch above their weight. He’s often done that by championing Irish players too.

    His tenure with us was hardly memorable but it’s hard to deliver too much damning criticism given the low ebb we find ourselves in talent wise.

    I’ll be wishing him the best in Cardiff.

    Sacked today after an eighth defeat in a row. Seems a small bit short-sighted all told - they lost three games in 22 under him last season, then lost one of six at the start of this season, but the first bad run of form (albeit a really bad one), and he's sacked.

    Left by mutual consent. He had this season and next season left on his deal, so perhaps paid off to leave early again?

    A really really bad run of form. Eight defeats in a row in the league where they've conceded 19 and scored 1. Scoreless in their last five games.

    Cardiff seem to be only going in one direction after not being able to invest in the squad during the summer. Nottingham Forest have turned things around since Cooper came in and my guess Cardiff are hoping a change in management produces similar.

    Mick was the last Irish manager in the English league after Hughton was sacked. Fair enough the lads from Northern Ireland can class themselves as Irish and/or British, but they're down as being from Northern Ireland on the wiki list. You include Scotland and it's Jim Goodwin and a lad in League 2.

    Hadn't a clue what his name was. That stat was in my head since Hughton was sacked.

    Brian Barry-Murphy? Though he resigned in June. There's no Irish managers in the English league at the moment (per wiki)

    And when you include Scotland it's only Jim Goodwin in the SPL, and a Peter Murphy down in League Two. Manages Annan Athletic and got one cap for Ireland during the 2007 tour in America.

    Only Irish manager I can think of off the top of my head managing outside of Ireland and the UK is Conor Nester, and he's down in Cambodia.
