After the defeat tonight against Cardiff City at home, the bell seems to be tolling for big Mick McCarthy for when he loses the managers job at Ipswich Town.
Do the club pull the plug now on McCarthy, or wait until the season's end when his contract is up, & finding a replacement during the summer months.
McCarthy has worked on a low budget at Ipswich Town, where he couldn't compete with the bigger clubs with their financial clout.
It looked possible that McCarthy could have taken the reins at Barnsley, but now that vacancy has been filled, so with Ipswich not seeming to want to offer another contract to McCarthy, he will be looking for future employment.

Ipswich Town supporters had a vote on,
[1] whether big Mick loved himself more than the club. [ result 75% votes ]
[2] Loved Ipswich [ result 24% votes ]
[3] Don't know [ result 1% ]

So the majority of the fans have shown their feelings.
Looking at Mick McCarthy he will keep going to the end of his contract, with not being a quitter, unless the Ipswich
board decide to pull the carpet from beneath his feet earlier.
