IF we're still struggling at Christmas and Evans gets rid of Hurst... 10:38 - Sep 23 with 3891 viewsuefacup81

Would Mccarthy not be the obvious choice for Evans if he's still available (on a six month deal)?

Knows the club inside out, would have a hell of a point to prove, and would be the kind of manager any other club would want to get in in such a situation.

I'd happily take six months of boring football, tetchy press conferences, and not giving a damn about the FA Cup if it would give us the best chance of survival.

Totally agree, and just to confirm I wanted Mick and Terry to stay.

If McCarthy did come back it would only be for the money and to gloat. He cannot have fond memories of his latter experiences at Portman Road.

He would be the master of all he suveyed, totally in charge of everything and even more full of himself and his footballing style than he was before.

We wouldn't get relegated though.

I'd take that if the alternative was relegation.

Six month contract
Small war-chest
Cash bonus for survival

Yes, I'm sure there are other anti-relegation specialists out there, but Mick would be the only one with no risk of becoming a long-term appointment. I'd much rather have a final six months of MM than four years of Allardyce.

No way should or would we get mcCarthy back, it would make us the laughing stock of the footballing world, having said that I think if we still haven't won after 15 games we need to pull the plug on hurst then, we can so easily get cut adrift and the likes of Leeds, Sunderland, coventry, Norwich, Portsmouth etc are proof that bigger clubs can go down and do it's worrying times

MM has gone and it should stay that way.

I think the whole 'laughing stock' risk is a damned if you do/don't scenario.

Get relegated = laughing stock for sacking Mick
Stay up With Mick = laughing stock for eating humble pie

If it was a choice between the two, I know which one I'd rather the club was laughed at for.

I'm not saying he's a saviour, I just feel that there's a certain argument for it if circumstances were so dire come December.

I can imagine Mick would want to leave us on his CV and look forward to a new challenge elsewhere. He's not going to have much trouble getting another job.

Besides, why would he come back to us? A section of our fans made their feelings very clear, and I doubt he's going to forget that in a hurry.

are you feckin joking? on 10:59 - Sep 23 with 3447 viewsunstableblue

What I find strange on this board is the complete denial of just how bad the football (bar a handful of games) in Micks last two seasons actually was.

This “careful what you wish for” drivel is just going down a blind regressive alley. And your suggestion just exaggerates this.

We need a clean break from what had turned into a negative regime under Mick, look maybe it gave us mid-table solidity - albeit I’d question that given the run of results towards the end. But the football was unwatchable

Indeed yesterday was so disappointing to me because for the first 25mins Bolton looked better on the ball than us, better technically - which WAS the dominant feeling last season, and I thought Hurst would eradicate this.

Move on. Give Hurst a little more support if he fails, let’s move on again. But don’t look back.

Do you honestly think he would be shallow enough to come back to gloat! He would be deep down I am sure as any of us would in a similar situation.

We are the laughing stock of the football world with the way the club has been behaving over the last 6 months. Until Evans grows some nuts and corrects the stupid management situation we can expect to remain so !

Rather stick with Hurst and give him the season as per the Ipswich way.

Worst possible scenario is smug MM coming back. A disaster.

Exactly. Even if ME were able to swallow his pride and offer MM a contract, does anybody honestly think he would even consider coming back?

Not on your nelly, he will have better offers soon anyway, Stoke for example.

He can gloat plenty from afar I would imagine, and the way he got treated in the end he would tell us to swivel I imagine, and rightly so.
