McCarthy is 100% leaving this summer

I'd love to however they still work at ITFC, never played for us etc and I'm sure with that and me saying they have a very difficult job / perhaps not everyones favourite person..........you could probably guess who.

Anyway, the man in question was answering everyones questions in the pub that were keen to meet him. He was having a couple of beers himself. There was a situation right at the end where said individual needed to go for his taxi - with someone kicking off at him being very anti Mick etc. In the end as we've met before / spoken / I got involved and tried to calm the other guy down.... I asked if I could ask a couple of questions as I was too busy getting hammered / getting to know my hero Benjamin Bloom from the Monday podcast. What a guy!

Anyway he said ' sure walk and talk taxi coming '

So doing that, I asked if Mick was staying - he started to respond when outside. Got a response of ' well in any other walk of life if you told people to f*** off you'd be sacked ' three times before a final ' he will categorically not be offered a new contract '.

That's as far as I'll go for now as really not into naming and shaming etc, however it was first hand / one to one conversation etc so that is why I did the topic on here.

I think alcohol was the only reason it slipped out - straight away before he got into the taxi with other club reps he knew it was a slight slip - but it was only myself / himself there. No one else etc. So there we go, that's me story.

 

Who will be set up first? Us with a new person in charge or Mick with a new club?

 

My money is on Ian Milne.

 

Be very interesting where Mick goes.

 

Sunderland would be a good fit!

 

I don't think he'll be out of employment for long, unless he wants a break. I could see him at a club like West Brom, Sheffield Wednesday or Barnsley.

 

Yeah they'll be someone willing to give him a go - like or hate the guy he's probably ultimately left us in a better spot than when he came - so I suppose whatever way you look at it the new manager will find life easier than Mick did when he arrived.

Anyway, drawing a line under it, he's going - new gafa is going to need a bit of backing as likely to want quite a different squad. Over to you Evans...

 

Respect to Westy for breaking the news but keeping his source secret, very dignified

Milne obviously, but wouldn't expect you to confirm

 

Best I'll do is you're more on the ball than Hetty Wainthrop cheers mate. Soon as we start 100% naming and shaming people on the internet properly / the day they stop telling us anything.

Even if people want to reveal things, we're in the social media / phone recording age etc. It's absolutely impossible nowadays. Shame
