MICK McCARTHY was as we speak sacked as Cardiff Metropolis supervisor after former Bluebirds hero and his shut good friend Neil Warnock put the ultimate nail within the coffin of his time within the Welsh capital.
Warnock’s Middlesbrough have been 2-0 winners at Cardiff Metropolis Stadium – a consequence which amounted to a membership file eighth straight Bluebirds defeat.
It’s a disastrous run of outcomes for which McCarthy has paid the final word worth.
The Middlesbrough reversal leaves Cardiff 21st within the Championship and staring relegation sq. within the face.
Cardiff have conceded 19 targets of their final eight video games, scoring solely as soon as.
Cardiff’s Below-23 supervisor Steve Morrison will take short-term cost of the workforce for the subsequent three video games towards Stoke Metropolis, QPR and Huddersfield City main as much as the subsequent worldwide break.
He can be assisted by Tom Ramasut.
A Cardiff assertion learn: “Cardiff Metropolis Soccer Membership can verify first workforce supervisor Mick McCarthy and assistant supervisor Terry Connor have left the membership by mutual settlement and with quick impact.
“We want to thank Mick and Terry for his or her efforts throughout their time with the Bluebirds and want all of them one of the best for the longer term.
“Steve Morrison and Tom Ramasut will oversee first-team duties at the moment because the board of administrators start the method of appointing a everlasting substitute.”
McCarthy had a shocking begin to his Cardiff tenure when he was appointed in January and he was unbeaten in his first 11 video games in cost.
However they missed out on final season’s play-offs and McCarthy has been unable to cease his workforce’s kind falling off a cliff within the 2021/22 marketing campaign.
Fairly frankly, this Cardiff squad ought to be doing far, much better.
It was the final word irony that Warnock, so well-liked in Cardiff for taking them into the Premier League in 2018, was the person who inflicted the sack upon McCarthy.
The Middlesbrough defeat – a tenth Bluebirds loss in 11 video games – proved to be the ultimate straw for Cardiff’s board of chairman Mehmet Dalman and chief govt Ken Choo.
The pair will now start looking for a brand new supervisor with Chris Hughton and Chris Wilder early names being linked with the place.
However the brutal fact of the matter is Cardiff is a membership sleepwalking in direction of League One proper now and alter is required each within the boardroom and within the dugout.
