MAGIC Quotes From Super MICK...!

Courtesey of the EADT I just thought to replay some of the magic quotes from Super Mick since he started at Town back in November. Some absolute gems!


“Maybe smashing a few earholes might help – if that’s what it needs I’m more than happy to do that. I have to say though, that’s not my management style.”

– Mick McCarthy upon appointment as boss.

“All the best teams work hard. That’s not a dirty word, it’s essential.”

– McCarthy upon appointment.

“A new manager always gets a response. It might be Christmas before we get out of the relegation zone. As long as we are out of it come May the fourth then I’ll be happy.”

– McCarthy following opening 1-0 win at Birmingham.

“It was an abject and awful performance, but there’s no point in finger pointing. The only way we’ll survive and thrive is by sticking together.”

– McCarthy following 6-0 loss at Leicester.

“We all get a kick from seeing it, but we can’t pat each other on the back and stroke each others’ egos. Let’s do that every week if we can.”

– McCarthy after a 3-1 home win over Nottingham Forest lifted Town out of the bottom three.

“The ones that were singing ‘Mick McCarthy out’ are doing it for Stale (Solbakken) now. All I’ll say is, ‘be careful, you might get what you wish for.’”

– McCarthy after win at former club Wolves.

“Livid, annoyed, angry, disappointed. We’ve let them off the hook and see others around us have won.”

– McCarthy after 2-1 defeat at Bristol City.

“I apologise for the **** standard of game that you’ve just all watched, but I’m not going to apologise for getting a point away from home – no way! If you’d have offered me a point before the game I wouldn’t have even got on the bus.”

– McCarthy after a forgettable goalless draw at Huddersfield.

“Halle Berry excites me, but I wouldn’t play her.”

– McCarthy after a journalist suggested that Jay Emmanuel-Thomas was an exciting player.

“I’ve got no sympathy with the player. If it was my centre-half, I’d be telling them ‘you let them upset you’. A little **** upset you and it’s cost us the game.”

– McCarthy after Leicester captain Wes Morgan was sent off in Town’s 1-0 home win over Leicester.

“I come in here all nice and calm, but I’ve just walked into my office to see my friends and family and shouted ‘YOU ******* BEAUTY!!! My wife told me not to swear in front of my granddaughter, but she’s only seven weeks old so she doesn’t know what’s going on!”

– McCarthy after last-gasp 1-0 home win over Bolton.

“We’ve burgled it. I heard the sirens coming and thought ‘the police are coming’.”

– McCarthy after smash-and-grab win at Derby.


“Instead of kicking the **** out of each other we could have all just stayed at home!”

– McCarthy on a 1-1 draw at Sheffield Wednesday being fair.


Journalist: “If the season was a bit longer we’d be talking about the play-offs.” McCarthy: “If the season was a bit longer I’d have a heart attack!”

– McCarthy after 3-1 home win over Birmingham guaranteed safety.

 

Nice one Warky, some real gems in there...!

 

Quality. Nice to have someone with a bit of personality in charge. Onward and upward for you boys if you can hold onto MM next season I'd imagine.

 

I loved it when Mick was asked by a fan if it was possible to attend the training sessions and his response was
"Are you any good?"

 

“All the best teams work hard. That’s not a dirty word, it’s essential.”

– McCarthy upon appointment.


This has been the most important comment for me and this is the main reason for us staying in this league when we could have so easily fallen through the trap door!

 

One of my favourites was the one I highlighted a couple of weeks back.
When talking about Jack Marriott's debut...........
He said to me, "thanks for giving me my debut" and I said to him "thanks for being good enough"
