McCarthy: under pressure. Harry Engels

Mick McCarthy's future as Ipswich boss will be decided by the end of April

Ipswich currently sit in 12th in the Championship, 10 points off the playoff places.

MICK MCCARTHY’S FUTURE as manager of Ipswich Town will be decided by the end of April, club owner Marcus Evans said.

McCarthy has been in charge at Portman Road since 2012 but has come under sustained pressure from fans following a string of disappointing performances, with his current contract due to expire in the summer.

Ipswich currently sit in 12th in the Championship, 10 points off the playoff places.

In a letter to season ticket holders, made public on Monday, Evans said that he continues to enjoy a good relationship with the former Ireland boss.

“As I’m sure you are aware, Mick’s contract is up at the end of the season and I’m fully aware that there will be supporters who will be waiting to see how that situation develops,” Evans wrote.

“I continue to have a very good relationship with Mick. We talk regularly and we will sit down and discuss the best way forward for this football club in the next few weeks. And that is the sole concern for me – what is best for Ipswich Town.

“Supporters will know the result of that conversation in due course but it will be made public well in advance of the Early Bird deadline [30 April].”

    Interesting that Robbie has been released. With us playing against the USA you would have thought he would have been eager to be involved.

    LA are still in the playoffs for the MLS. The US players still involved in the playoffs left their squad after the Colombia game. If he was to pick up a knock in a friendly, it’d create some needless club/country tension.

    Ger, your optimism has obviously waned! How were you so optimistic? I’m not knocking it. But like Gibson hadn’t played 90 mins in ages, I was so concerned for our midfield, and that’s where games are won. Scotland have players who have competed in the champions league. And I thought they were very impressive against Germany compared to us

    We should practice some attacking football against the USA, might come in handy for the rest of the group games if we want to score goals…
