Joint-managing director Ian Milne reaffirmed that Town have heard nothing from the FAI regarding manager Mick McCarthy at last night’s Supporters Club AGM. McCarthy continues to be linked with the role he previous occupied between 1996 and 2002, although former Sunderland, Leicester and Celtic boss Martin O’Neill has edged ahead of him in the betting this morning.
Town boss Mick McCarthy says he refused to be “blackmailed” into selling left-back Tyrone Mings to Crystal Palace on deadline day. McCarthy, speaking at last night’s Supporters Club AGM, revealed that the Eagles threatened to end the Blues’ hopes of re-signing Jonny Williams on loan.
The kick-off times of East Anglian derbies, regular rail disruption and how owner Marcus Evans goes about choosing a new manager were among the questions put to MD Ian Milne and other members of Town’s backroom team at the now annual Meet the Club event staged as part of the Supporters Club’s AGM in Legends at Portman Road on Thursday evening.
