If Ipswich announced that McCarthy and the team would be summarily executed on the halfway line; I would watch from the stands, nodding sagely while muttering to myself "it's harsh... But fair".

Speaking of fair we were completely dominated by Huddersfield but we still did the double over them running out 2-0 winners with our pint sized Scot Robert 'tha Bruce' wallace scoring the goal of the season to break huds hearts.

Normally I would agree with you if Big Mick was trying and had his heart in it, but unfortunately being in Ipswich longer than a pregnancy term apparently drains all your life force and turns you in to a broken husk of a football manager [see appendix A].

It’s not that I think we should be chasing promotion or be drastically better because this squad is one of… actually come to think of it, it might just be the worst squad in our history. Far worse than that one season George Burley lost his goddamn mind (love you George, please come back I wanted you back instead of Jewell), and as far I know the teams between the Robson and Lyall eras were comparatively competitive. While Mick has made some dodgy personnel decisions in contribution, he can’t really take much blame given the utterly dire situation the club is in.

The problem is that there is a difference between players having instructions and being too poo poo to carry them out; and players not having any instructions at all and also being too poo poo which is the worst of all worlds. I suppose you could argue there is no point giving them instructions if they can’t do it which… fair point, but at least it shows the coaches trying. Mick’s given up.

Appendix A:

Allow your mind to be cast back over an ocean of managerial appointments you probably thought were some kind of fever dream and try to recall what happened to the following sequence of men (all the appointments following Burely’s tenure omitting temps):

Joe Royal - I can only assume taken by aliens, career killed
Jim Magilton - Went mad, went to QPR, sort of assaulted a player or something, ran to Ireland, career killed
Roy Keane - Went mad, ran to Ireland (theme!?!?)
Paul Jewell - Went mad, career killed
Mick McCarthy - Currently going mad

HORSE'S ASS

I'd completely forgotten about Jim Magilton managing us until now. That was in the Briatore/Ecclestonr period where we changed managers on a weekly basis.

Fat oval office. Hope we get him done for breach of contract and can be rid of him.

8 out of 10 missed in all competitions apparently, it's cost us about 10 points and a decent cup run. It's a load of different players too, not like it's just Martin's fault. I'm real mad.
