Mackems Shed McCarthyism
Mick McCarthy has been sacked as manager of Sunderland. He was a confounding gaffer, good enough to win league promotions in the clinch but never able to translate that drive into workable EPL football. Let’s be a little kind to the man in his dark hour: how many of you have ever survived a rant the likes of which Roy Keane laid down on Mick after Ireland’s international follies?
The Hammers and the Latics do keep up one’s confidence in upward mobility from the Championship. However, what can one say of Mackem footie but to cite the wisdom of Milhouse Van Houten: “I fear to look, yet I cannot turn away!”
