Congrats to the great man and his Wolves team for being promoted to the Premiership for next season :)
Fair fucks to him, when Wolves were struggling last year he kept at it through the tough times. Unlike some other Irish club managers. . . .

Delighted for him too,he wouldn't have had a huge budget either.
Will be hard for him next year though as I doubt he will get the funding to get the players needed to stay up.
Fair achievement all the same I think they still have 4 or 5 games left in the Championship,so to get promoted early is great.

Only 2, but still a great achievement. How many times now has McCarthy got a team promoted?
EDIT: just checked out wiki, he's only got two teams promoted but has gotten into the playoffs another few times. Seems to be the man to get you out of the Championship. Can he do it in the Premier League now though?

Fair play to McCarthy. Big turnaround from 15 months ago when many Wolves fans were booing him and wanted him out so fair play to him for sticking it out.

No. Though a section for you and Gnevin to yap about not liking soccer on would have my support.
Great achievement for Big Mick. Always like to see him doing well. Not sure if he's likely to get much investment but if Evans Blake can re-create this season's form next year they should have a good ahnce.
Well done to big Mick delighted for him, he was very harshly treated as irish manager so glad to see him do well on the club scene. Looking forward to next year he now has three months to bring players in. I heard earlier today that Reading were unsure of even making the playoffs, if they do not make it I would not be surprised to see Mick in for Steven Hunt or Kevin Doyle. Hope he can bring in a few players and keep the momentum going.

Well done to YoYo Mick, the only manager whose been up and down more often than Ulrika Jonsson's knickers.

Thats about the bones of it..
He won't survive in the PL without some money to spend.
He has a couple of Irish guys like Keogh and Kevin Foley.
Ya wouldn't know but if Newcastle gets relegated someone like Duff might sign for him as I can't see him going to one of the Top teams at this stage,he must be pushing 30 ?

Thats a good call about Duff, not many clubs would fancy him due to his wage demands/ injury problems Mick might well be keen
I think people over estimate the £ ££ £ factor, Newcastle have spent money and could go down. Stoke look like staying up and nobody expected that. Outside the top four and maybe Villa there isnt much difference in quality and the standard isnt great.

Liverpool fan (manager) disses Everton again shock!!!lol :D
There's a gap between the top four and the next two - Everton and Villa - and then there's a gap between them and the rest. Villa and Everton are a good bit better than the rest though.
Money makes a big difference when spent wisely. e.g. Beattie has made a big difference for Stoke. Newcastle have bought some turkeys over the last few years and Owen has hardly played either. The amount of money Newcastle have wasted is criminal. Middlesborough haven't been too wise with the money either - e.g. Alves.
I think McCarthy is a good c'ship manager and a poor premier league one so to be honest I think Wolves will go stright back down. I've a lot of time for the man though so I hope he proves me wrong...
Many congrats to Mick. Surely if he had access to the funds made available to the Cork langer during his time in charge at Sunderland he would have made a much better fist of the job and certainly wouldn't have been relegated
Folks was going to start a new thread for this but will keep it here. My old fella is a big Wolves fan and heads over now and again. He has flights, et all booked for this day fortnight for the last game of the season but can't secure a ticket (Doncaster at home).
Does anyone have any connections, or contacts that could help me out?
Much appreciated..

It's a tad unfair to suggest that McCarthy isn't a good enough manager for a premier league team. Being an unfashionable Yorkshire man he has never been offered a job on the next pedestal - a settled Premiership side like Villa, Everton, Blackburn,West Ham or Man City. Until he gets a job like that - where his season isn't just about avoiding relegation - I don't think you can really judge his Premier League credentials.
I'm delighted for him anyway. His sides play decent football to watch, and he calls a spade a spade, which is unusual for a manager.
English c**t!

He always got the best out of Duff in an Ireland jersey.
Always had a soft spot for Wolves, whatever about McCarthy. They were always in the playoffs or just couldn't make the playoffs so often and when Irwin left United to join them I kept an eye on them those years as well. Delighted they're in the Premiership next season.

If the boy wonder from Cork had achieved what Mick has done with Wolves RTE would have had an hour long documentary about it and there would be weekly column in the Irish Times. Howeverat least it has been enough for even Dunphy to recognise that the man has built a good team with practically no budget, youngest squad in the league and played great football. He won't keep them in PL because (a) he'll not get the £50 million or so the Niall Quinn consortiumm threw at the langer and they (b) he won't resort to Stoke City battering ram tactics.
Mick says when he won promotion with Sunderland he was given a budget of £6m for players, wages, signing-on fees, everything.

Can you not just compliment Mick McCarthy on his achievement without referring to Roy Keane. This is about Mick and Wolves. Nothing to do with Saipan. About time people got over it - like Roy and Mick have.

I refer you back to my message of April 26th 2009.
MS, I doubt that the langers worshippers would be quiet if the roles were reversed, ie Keane was successfully managing an unfashionable club in the Premiership while Mc Carthy was guiding Ipswich Town (European Trophy winners less than 30 years ago) to home defeats in the Championship against Plymouth Argyle.
Saipan will never be forgotten, and what Keane did then was and still is unforgivable
McCarthy and Keane were able to sort out their differences so spare me the faux outrage. Your post is simply laughable as usual - as if Ipswich winning a European trophy almost 30 years ago has anything to do with today. Ridiculous but not surprising coming from your good self.
Hang on now Seanie - Spurs have won European trophies in the dim and distant past, so it's highly relevent (on Planet Tony).

Get over it Roy...
The team that beat West Ham contained 8 of the players that were on the weakened team that was sent out against Man Utd. Were Woles finded and when do they get. there money back.
Wolves were fined and I doubt if they will get the money back. However Mick did make a point in a press conference before the west ham match to note that Carlton Cole, Scott Parker, Benny McCarthy and someone else who I cant remember were all left on the bench for West Hams match against Arsenal on the Saturday before West Ham v Wolves
Wolves now safe and will be in the Premier League next year, fair play to Mick!
What happened the Candy jersey lad, i see you have went to the attic now to dig out the Hitachi jersey !!
Wolves sign winger Stephen Hunt from Hull
Hunt missed the end of Hull's season with a foot injury
Winger Stephen Hunt has signed a three-year contract at Wolves after moving from Hull for an undisclosed fee.
The Tigers, who were relegated from the Premier League in May, rejected a £5m bid from Wolves earlier this year.
But Republic of Ireland international Hunt, 28, struck an agreement with Hull chairman Adam Pearson that he would be allowed to leave if the club went down.
Hunt missed the end of last season with a foot injury and is not expected to be fit to return until late October.
"It's been a long time coming in terms of all the speculation," Hunt, referring to the bid from Wolves back in January, told the club's website.
"It was out of my control what happened in January, now it's done I'm looking forward to getting going."
Hunt is hoping that he will be able to make his Wolves debut sooner than October but will not rush his return.
"I'll be following the instructions of the physiotherapists but hopefully it might be a bit sooner than that.
"But it's important that it's all done right and so when I come back it's ready and fine for the rest of the season."
Hunt follows defender Steven Mouyokolo from Hull to Wolves to become the fifth summer arrival at Molineux.
Wolves manager Mick McCarthy has already signed Belgium defender Jelle Van Damme from Anderlecht, striker Steven Fletcher from Burnley and Algeria midfielder Adlene Guedioura who had been on a season-long loan from Charleroi.

You mean bonafide fans, like 99% of all the other Irish epl bonalfide fans, e.g. one who goes along to a friendly and cheers for the epl team against Irish opposition?
Or do you actually mean a real fan who grew up living and breathing the club?

Well maybe bonafide is a bit strong.
Just someone who supports them in the Premiership and maybe has a couple of bits of memoribilia.
I have a copy of "The Doog" (and read it),
but I don't support Wolves.
That still puts me on top of the bonafide list.
It is a good book.

The same reason people support Man United, Liverpool or Arsenal and indeed Leeds. The Irish have a habit of jumping on a 'good thing'. Just look at the Celtic Tiger. You'd think we'd all have learned our lesson after those yella Spanish cnuts let us down at Kinsale.
I beg to differ a lot of people in this Country started supporting those because of the Irish connections, something Chelsea don't have a much.
But of course u'll always get bandwagon supporters when someone is successful (not talking about you Norf i'm sure you have your reasons)
Quote from: hardstation on December 05, 2010, 01:37:47 AM
I suppose it may just be a coincidence that these are successful teams and our Paddy just happened to be near them all.
Well the Irish are well known for building greatness on foreign land (New York would be an example)
Hardstation - I understand your point but I think its different with Chelsea. They'd have as many Irish links as Rangers, probably less.

I agree fearbags, i would like to see west ham go down and wolves stay up, just because of McCarthy and the fact the ammers should have been down a few years ago.
delighted for mick. really hope he keeps wolves up. would love to see blackburn go down, dont know why but i never could stand them esp when big sam was in charge.
Is the starter of this thread not going to show his appreciation for McCarthy's win last night ;)
Also Fair play to Mick having such a large Irish presence {Hunt,Doyle,Ward,Foley} on his first team at a time when a lot of other Irish players are struggling to get first team football
Yep another Irish player Robbie Keane should join on loan
Yep another Irish player Robbie Keane should join on loan
They have enough strikers already who cant score
first time i've posted on a soccer thread, cant stand it usally, ::) but micks efforts to get wolves up the table are admirable. i find myself willing him to succeed. imo mccarthy is a much better manager now than he was when he had ireland. the fai should get him back if he loses his job at wolves
6 points in games v Chelsea,Liverpool & out of bottom three well done Mick!

Likeable character big Mick.
Alawys was a man of genuine substance
Contrast with sc**bag langers - too obvious for most of us?
Always liked Mick
Well done Mick...
Yup Mick has done great v the big teams needs to do better v the lesser teams or they will be relegated.
Mickey's a legend !!!
I'm sure all football fans in Ireland were delighted with that result and the performance of Kevin Doyle.
Congrat Wolves!
Wolves 2 up against West Brom after 35min, Keep'er lit!
3-1 NOW!
Hope McCarthy keeps them up.
Always thought that Steven Fletcher was a good player, he was brilliant today.
wolves were brilliant today. delighted for mick, hope he can keep them up
Fair play to wolves, hope they stay up. Plenty of fight and desire in their play.
i love watching mick on the sideline.. real passion and a few fuks. :D

Didn't get enough credit for his time in charge of Republic mainly because of Saipan which he could have handled better but was not his fault.
I hope "mick" goes down!!!! Could says lots worst right now buy why bother!! "We" are going to win our 19th title hahahaha how you like those apples Laois lad ;D :D
Is it any surprise that even united posters think you are bit of a C**k.
I hope they stay up & a win v Blackburn at home on the final day of the season should keep them up.
Another great result for Mick McCarthy and Wolves. Keep her lit Mick.
Well done Wolves that win should keep them up.
Great to see doyle back.
hope its wigan west ham and blackburn down.
Shitting in the nest badly here, 0-3 down at HT and on the way out of the PL at the moment !!
wolves in bottom 3 as it stands now. need favours from other teams.
i think spurs will win and save them
spurs 1 up
if other matches stay the same and wolves let in another goal. wolves go down on goal difference
Birmingham have equalised against Spurs now.
Wolves has dipped back into the relegation zone.
And out again Hunt 87 mins!
Blackpool are as good as gone. They'd need to score 3 time.
Its between Wolves and Birmingham.
Spurs score again Brum burned.
a wolves supporter with a dodgy ticker wouldnt have been a good thing today !
delighted for mick. that was nerve wrecking for wolves fans

Unbelievable finish.
4 mins to go they were relegated.
3 mins to Hunt scored and they were safe but one goal in each of two games could change that.
FT Spurs scored a breakaway goal with Brum all up for a corner and they were safe.
Sky Sports News missed the significance of Hunt's goal.
well done mick, would be great to see him back as irish boss after trappa.

getting promoted to the premiership with wolves and avoiding relegation in his first season, and again in his second, isnt a success then? ::)

Mick is on thin ice after that defeat today.
He has done a great job with Wolves but that has created expectations to stay in Premier League plus Chairman is investing heavily in stadium rebuild that needs that level.
I think after today he will be considering whether he needs to move on.
Reading the Wolves fan forums there is great regard for him but this seems to be a watershed.
Whatever he does, it will be done with dignity and I admire him as a gentleman and an Irishman.
Always liked Mick but he seems to be on his last legs. He hasn't had much money to spend in fairness but there seems to be a lack of spirit in the team when you compare them to say Blackburn.
Whether bringing someone in now would be any more likely to save Wolves is arguable though.
Sacked.
Always liked McCarthy. But the writing was on the wall there.
Goodbye Mick....we'll always have the good times...

I think Morgan was inclined to keep him. But for Wolves fans losing to West Brom is unforgivable at the best of times, and these are not the best of times. Or the best of losses
No great candidates out there currently from what I can see.

To have taken Wolves into the premiership on a shoestring and kept them there for 3 seasons is no mean feat. A big problem for him this season has been the collapse in form of Kevin Doyle, hence the lack of goals.
He'll not be out of work for long but where now for Wolves? Only decent candidate is Chris Hughton who is unlikely to move across from a great job at (bigger club) Birmingham at this stage.
I wouldn't be a lover of Wolves but I did have a lot of time for McCarthy both as a manager & as a man (from what I have seen of him). Them Yam Yams better keep clear of our manager but I wouldn't mind betting the Vile would let them talk to Special Agent McCleish.

It's a myth that McCarthy barely spent any money. He spent a good bit, the truth is he's not a top level manager.
Could Keane be back?
20/1.
Curbisley supposed to be in for it. Cant see them taking a chance on Keane in the position they are in.
mccarthy for england job?? they want an englishman afterall
Sacking these Managers is a great idea, isn't Mark Hughes doing a great job since he took over at QPR :-\

Harry Redknapp for Wolves??? He seemed very fond of his current dog during the court case.

Mick is a hell of a better Irishman than some langars we all know.
Always had a lot of time for Wolves they are the team my dad supports i use to watch them play in the old Div 4 Andy Mutch,Steve Bull etc they came along way to get back into the top league & won't want dropping back down so Mick had to go.
Feel sory for McCarthy, but his race was run with this group of players. I suppose it's hard to motivate players again after first year in Premiership. Being in contract, he'll have wages for a while yet and there is definitely a Championship club waiting to use his skills.
McCarthy to leeds?

is this looking like the biggest(costliest) mistake in Prem league history. WTF did they sack him for and replace with him someone who no-one hardly even heard off ! Amazing
getting rid of mick worked out well then!!!
Quote from: SHEEDY on April 22, 2012, 08:43:15 PM

Worked out well in the sense that a manager who took a team of bits and pieces from bottom championship to premier league in 2 yeras with nil money and kept them there for 2 years with nil money ....
not a great record I suppose
We patriotic Irish really love Barnsley don't we?

Fair play to big Mick.
First game and he gets a win away from home!
Best of luck to him at Ipswich Town.

Fcuk, fcuk and fcuk again, why always us >:(. Besides that bit of partisanship I'd wish Mick all the best.
As a long-time, long-suffering Ipswich fan, it is good to see Mick seemingly making a difference at Portman Road. Long may it continue.
Big Mick proving himself again.
Would be great to see him getting another club promoted.

Has had it tough from an Irish perspective after WC 2002! Best Manager Ireland had with a great brand of football. Have to agree that i hope he gets a shot at the premiership again.
Shot at the 'premiership' I assume you mean shot at staying up?

If they come up they'll go straight down again.Far cry from Bobby Robson era
Good luck to Ipswich Town. Daryl Murphy is top scorer in championship now and the Hunt brothers there so have a great Waterford connection at the moment. The championship is a very competitive league though so lots of teams in the running still.
Another good win for Ipswich tonite.Always had a soft spot for them since the seventies when they were always known for playing good football .
I seen this week St. Ledger was let go! Tough time for that lad. Talk of him trying the MLS. If they will have him.
