    best of luck to big mick , although if i was chairman at wolves i would only keep him on until he had achieved promotion and no longer!!
    Was he crazy!! Yeah , in a very special way , an Irishman.

    In fairness to Big Mick, he never got the financial backing at Sunderland to keep them in the top division. Looking at the three teams promoted this year to the Premier division, hardly any new signings by any of them. Brave or foolhardy, we'll see.

    Good luck to him, except when they're playing the Owls. He must be the only manager with a voice that can easily be heard over the noise of the crowd.
    Forget about the performance or entertainment. It's only the result that matters.

    No doubt influenced the Breen deal as well.

    It was Mick who released him at Sunderland and having broken his leg first!

    Good luck to Mick. The Irish always gota fair chance at Sunderland and hopefully the same'll happen at wolves. I wonder will Kennedy regret moving now. He & Breen are very much Mick "loyalists" aren't they?

    True, but it was Mick who brough him in when he was released by Celtic

    Mick always had them in his squads when they were available, there were stories before when Kennedy was at Millwall with Mick, he used to babysit Mick's kids!

    Mick had too much early success with Sunderland, he took them up when they were not ready for it. Most attractive football we ever played was under Mick.Good luck to him at Wolves

    Should the title not be "Mick MCCarthy back in the bacon slicer at Wolves"?

    Sounds a bit like a no win situation though for mick.if theyre not promoted ,he's a failure and with the extra bit of cash after being invested theyll expect no less.good luck to him but i reckon he wont cut it in the big time

    It's not quite up there with classics like "it's my arse in the bacon slicer" but here's a good Mick quote already:

    ``But at the moment we've only got 16 first-team players and my initials stand for Mick McCarthy, not Merlin the Magician.''

    Some would argue that MM stands for both, but that's another issue...

    I think Mc Carthy may get them promoted but he is a bit lacking at the top end of the game. But he will do a good job there in my view. He is a steady Championship manager and his record shows that.

    I think Stuttgart the point he was making was that despite the fact he is MM he is not Merlin the Magician and only 16 first team players is at least 10 players shy of what is needed to last a season with 46 League games etc.
    Good luck to McCarthy.

    Bad start - stuffed at home by local rivals Villa.
