Smoke and mirrors.....

Was talking to a RIPswich fan Saturday, they absolutely love him even though he's only won something like 9 games in the past 3 years, they think that they will come straight back up and "do a Norwich"

Kept going non about how great the fans were celebrating relegation and not complaining...and looking forward to League 1!

McCarthy must have really suckled the life out of them......

Interesting article on t**t today....

"Meanwhile, at Ipswich, fans are jubilant having been relegated to League One less than halfway through April. They have to be.

Otherwise they must admit that, in the circumstances and given the budgetary restrictions, Mick McCarthy was doing a superb job keeping the club free of relegation trouble, and if the football was less than expansive, it was necessary to survive.

Instead, they made his life a misery and he quit. The managers that have succeeded him, Paul Hurst and Paul Lambert, have won a grand total of four games in all competitions this season.

McCarthy won more than that between August 5 and August 19, in his final campaign. He won 17 games in total before walking out, prematurely, with a 1-0 win over Barnsley.

Yet to display unhappiness at an upcoming fixture list that may include trips to Scunthorpe and Rochdale next season would, in many cases, involve admitting being misguidedly harsh on McCarthy."
