Mick McCarthy & his second in command Terry Connor, have extended their contracts at Cardiff City.
When McCarthy took over at Cardiff City, on a end of season deal, Cardiff were 15th in the table, & 13 points adrift of the play-offs.
But since taking over the managers job, he has taken Cardiff on a unbeaten 10 game run, winning 7 & drawing 3 to which the club are challenging to get into the play-off spots.
McCarthy & Connor have signed 2 year extensions to their contracts.
They'd be stupid not to offer him a contract after such a massive impact he's had since taking over. Big gamble from McCarthy though to only take a season end deal in the first place. Then again, he was out of a job.
Wonder what Neil Harris thinks of all the upsurge in performance since he left?
Yes. Is it a case of players not playing for the manager or the manager being crap or possibly both and the two are related?Quote:

McCarthy plays an old style, but still an effective style.
His style is based on his own playing career.
A decent keeper, a strong centreback, a busy physical midfielder (Vaulks) and a big and daft centre forward (Moore). Effectively a strong spine running right down the centre of the team
An “ up and at ‘em” style nothing really fancy, no exotic formations
Remember, this is the guy that told Roy Keane to bugger off home
Hopefully he will celebrate with 3 points tonight. They will go into the play offs above Bournemouth with a win
It's between us, Huddersfield, Birmingham and Coventry for third bottom as it stands.
Mick McCarthy's 1,000th game has a manager tonight, with the game at Huddersfield, Cardiff City now on a unbeaten run of 11 games.
They rode their luck tonight but Mick is a great Manager and gets the best out of his players. A proper character in the same way as Neil Warnock.
