MAJOR bad news lads. The vacant Sunderland job has been filled by Howard Wilkinson and some b***ox Cotterill as his assisstant according to channel4sport.com. Looks like Mick the P***k will be around for awhile yet.

Question John. Which irish manager, with an Irish passport did a better job as Irish manager ever??
Oh yeah, thats terrible! Wouldn´t it be fantastic if we were left without a manager only days before a crucial qualifying gameOriginally posted by Shed End John

That would be fantastic. We´d be guaranteed to win then
By the way, in case you were back home on Mars (or wherever it is you left your brain) that "P***k" got this country to within a few kicks of the world cup quarter finals

Mccarthy for Stoke City
Oh right. So McCarthy IS responsible for us losing (in Moscow) but he IS NOT reponsible for us doing well in the world cup.Originally posted by James

That makes sense
Now I'm fairly indifferent to McCarthy myself, but the problem I have with the anti-McCarthy brigade is that they seem to take it for granted that a new manager would be more successful than Mccarthy. Since McCarthy got us to the World Cup I can only assume that these people won't be satisfied with a new manager unless he not only qualifies us for Euro 2004 but actually goes on to win the damn thing.
Aside from this, who out there would do a better job than McCarthy? The only name I hear these people suggesting is Brian Kerr, who as said above, probably isn't even interested in the job.

A new manager may not be as 'successful', but he'd have to be a better manager of people. Management isn't just about affairs ON the pitch you know.
Secondly, fact is with RK in the team and a little ambition, we might just have had a damn good shot at winning the Euros.

Sligo, exactly WHO are they?, WHERE are they now?, and what in the name of Jesus did they do in Europe that season?Originally posted by gustavo

It is really. Most of us wouldn´t give a toss who or what was in charge if we won the world cup would we?Originally posted by Shed End John

More likely we´d have one man playing to show that he´s above everyone else, and ten players who don´t agree with him being back in the squad. Result, probably even worse than moscow. Whether McCarthy goes or not, R** Keane should never play for Ireland againOriginally posted by Shed End John

Fact is, I never wanted to see McCarthy get the job in the first place. Winning the World Cup wouldn't change that or my desire to see him make way for someone else.Originally posted by Éanna

Secondly, if Mick leaves and Roy is in a position to play for Ireland again he will. No questions asked. It might sound abrupt but that's the way it is.

Neither did I. I still don´t. But managers have to be judged primarily on results, and right now we´re doing very well, moscow aside- everyones allowed an off-day. If poor results become more frequent it´s a different story.Originally posted by Shed End John

Christ, for someone previously so defensive of him that's a MAJOR change of tune. Besides that, as 'well' as we're doing, I can't help thinking that with a little attitude/mindset adjustment we could do a hell of alot better and rightly fulfill our potential.Originally posted by Éanna

Personally, I think you are talking complete and utter crap. That has to go down as one of the most ridiculous statements ever made on this site. What you are saying is that even if we won the World cup you would want rid of McCarthy. if we won the World cup the guy would be a god. Get things in perspective and please stop talking rubbish.Originally posted by Shed End John

I have no real problem with McCarthy and feel that he has done a good job with a fairly poor squad of players. However, he may not be the best man for the job but having a change of manager between now and euro 2004 could spell disaster.
Champions!

amongst our results in the intertoto cup that season were a three all draw with nantes and a goaless draw with heerenveen
we qualified for finishing third some 6 places and 14 points above cork city
it's all that KNACKER Keane's fault.
would the judas ******* ever **** off.
BTW 'Shed End John' - you came out of that looking like a right twit! did ya ever hear of Sligo Rovers?
McCarthy has been Ireland's best manager. He had to clean up the mess left by Charlton and now has us 13th in the world and playing a good brand of football.
Much as I admire him, I was hoping he would go to Sunderland BECAUSE he doesn't deserve to have to put up with the **** he is getting at the moment (from the likes of 'Shed End John' and other morons like you).
Much as I´ve never been a McCarthy fan, one would have to be blind AND stupid to dispute that fact.Originally posted by Neil

Is it fair to say that the main 2 things that McCarthy is hated for are:
1) Handling the RK situation in "not the best manner"
and
2) Sticking with donkey defenders when better ones are available!
Apart from that, to be fair his results have been pretty good (Russia excluded)
