By Ryan Mills
March 6 (Bloomberg) -- Sunderland, which lies bottom of
English soccer's elite 20-team Premiership, said it fired coach
Mick McCarthy.
Promoted from the second tier last May, Sunderland has 10
points and will be demoted if it can't climb out of the bottom three
teams after 10 more games. Sunderland, whose four wins in the 2002-
03 campaign were a record low, has two victories this season.
``As chairman I take responsibility for what has proven to
be an unsuccessful and heartbreaking season,'' Chairman Bob
Murray said in an e-mailed statement. ``The club did not return
to the Premiership just to make up the numbers.''
McCarthy, 47, said after yesterday's defeat by Manchester
City, the team's 22nd loss in 28 matches, that he'd ``had
enough'' of his team being praised for its spirit after losing.
McCarthy, who previously coached the Republic of Ireland,
will leave immediately and Sunderland will appoint a caretaker
coach to take charge for the rest of the season before hiring a
permanent successor ``at a later date.''

get Mark McGhee in, they could save money by using the same tracksuits Mick had

Harsh in my opinion. Think Mick is a decent manager and he shouldn't be blamed for what Reid done.

 

[Barnet Seagull]

Seems a similar scenario to that of the other MM. I think Mick's been unfortunate.

I think Murray has been trying to arrest the decline in attendances and will appoint a popular choice.

Harsh on MM. I thought they were on a five year plan. Up - save, down - promotion, up -save etc.
then spend...

 

[Lady Whistledown]

I'm not a fan of Mick McCarthy's management at all, he's very overrated, and Sunderland seemed to win this league last season without anyone really knowing how.

But I can't quite see the logic in sacking him now. If they were hoping to arrest the slide, they should have done it ages ago, not after their position became impossible to escape from. Either that, or they do it at the end of the season.

This just looks like a classic case of the chairman seeking to save his own arse.

 

[Gritt23]

I would have said that by the standard of their competition, they lacked resources. Also for a couple of seasons, I don't think a yo-yo existance is anything tobe too horrifed at, and surely stability would have helped the club.

Maybe those reasons are not enough to keep a manager in a job, you still need to be showing the club is going in the right direction, and if not then

Anyone else all of that may apply to?

sorry but Reid left long ago and McCarthy got them promoted last year. The team was his and he wasn't getting anywhere
