	League Managers Association
		Mick McCarthy made a welcome return to club management on March 12 2003 when he was named as the new boss at Sunderland AFC, two days after Howard Wilkinson's departure from the Stadium of Light.
		Mick was appointed Ireland's manager on February 5th 1996, two days before his 36th birthday, with the task of reviving the fortunes of an ageing side who had for a decade proved that the team was much, much greater than the sum of it's parts.
		Mick's reputation and international experience meant he was always likely to be given a chance to fulfil his desire of managing in the top flight, and that chance came at Sunderland.

	Mick McCarthy
		When McCarthy left Millwall, in early February after a protracted appointment as Ireland manager, Millwall were in 9th place in the division, 5 points off a promotion place, outside the playoff zone only on goal difference and a comfortable 14 points clear of the relegation zone.
		McCarthy did indeed revive his World Cup hopes, being called up for friendlies against the USSR in April and Finland and Turkey in May. While Mick was named in Jack Charlton squad, Millwall teammate Garry Waddock suffered the heartbreak of being the last player cut from the squad.
		McCarthy return was not to be long lived, ending in the 10th minute of his third game back, with Mick limping off damaged knee ligaments, ruining his chances of playing for Ireland at Wembley.

	rediff.com sports: Quit speculation mounts on McCarthy
		Beleaguered Ireland manager Mick McCarthy was set to meet Irish soccer officials on Tuesday as speculation mounted that his six-and-a-half year tenure could be at an end.
		Irish newspapers said settlement of a payout for McCarthy, who still has 12 months of his 500,000 euros a year contract to run, was all that stood in the way of his departure after a turbulent few months for the former Millwall manager.
		McCarthy, 43, who took over from Jack Charlton in 1996, has struggled to shake off the controversy resulting from his expulsion of Roy Keane from this year's World Cup, a high-profile bust-up that dominated headlines across the globe.

	Guardian Unlimited Football \| News \| Danger! Mick McCarthy!
		The reputation Mick McCarthy enjoys in England compared with the one he enjoys in Ireland is illuminating.
		McCarthy joins Sunderland at what he would no doubt refer to as a "critically psychological moment" in the season (cf his first autobiography entitled without irony, Captain Fantastic).
		But when McCarthy took over, Ireland were ranked in the top 15, then promptly fell almost 40 places while we (a) played with three at the back because it was popular; (b) pushed Keane to centre-back against Iceland, and; (c) made come-hither eyes at any mercenary who talked about Riverdance, Guinness or his granny.

		It is McCarthy's first job in Premiership management and only his second at club level, having been in charge of Ireland from when he left Millwall in 1996 until 2002.
		McCarthy said it was an "absolute pleasure and a privilege" to be Sunderland's new manager but he admitted it would take "a remarkable achievement" to keep them in the Premiership.
		Fickling said McCarthy's row with Roy Keane at the World Cup in the summer was part of the reason why Sunderland went for him - as he would have benefitted from the "experience".

		Such has been the hostility to Mick McCarthy from Roy Keane's sympathisers in the Irish media, the only thing that is missing is for one of the newspapers here to superimpose a turnip on his head.
		McCarthy is bewildered and hurt by his plummeting popularity and there will be little respite after a dishevelled performance last night that ended with fans calling for Keane's reinstatement.
		McCarthy's players departed for the interval to a backdrop of piercing whistles and the tension among this usually supportive crowd increased in the second half.

	ESPN.com Soccernet Europe: News - McCarthy quits Ireland job
		McCarthy has been under increasing pressure ever since the end of the World Cup finals in the summer, despite leading the team into the second round, where they lost on penalties to Spain.
		Only last week McCarthy insisted he was not about to quit, although he was not prepared to speculate on whether he would be in charge when Ireland face Georgia in their next European Championship qualifier on March 29.
		McCarthy came under increasing pressure since the loss to Switzerland and some critics believe the only way the Republic can qualify for Euro 2004 is for McCarthy to be replaced, allowing Keane to return to the side.

		McCarthy was involved in only two international matches while he was a player at Lyon - against West Germany and Northern Ireland, which is why I am sure that it was a spare shirt either of those two matches.

		McCarthy was an inspirational player and captain; he was not necessarily the most technically adept player to have ever played for Ireland but he always gave his very best.

	TheFA.com - On a high
		Before Sunderland started on The FA Cup trail this season, the closest manager Mick McCarthy had got to competing in The Final was two Fifth Round defeats; one as a player and the other whilst holding the managerial reigns at Millwall, the team he’ll be aiming to step over in this afternoon's Semi-Final.
		In fact, McCarthy’s final full season at The Den was, until this term, Millwall’s best Cup run in 18 years and equalled his previous personal best campaign with Barnsley 14 years earlier.
		McCarthy was just fourteen years old, and, on that day in 1973, the young Yorkshire lad couldn’t have been any more disappointed.

		Everyone expected McCarthy to be in charge until the end of the season - and some I know thought he would be able to get us promoted again, because he showed his managerial ability at that level with a weak squad and little spending ability.
		Mick is a manager who seems to be stuck in his ways, a prime example being the signings of Andy Gray and Jon Stead.
		Both were far from prolific, yet Mick thought it necessary to continue in the quest for their signatures when the money could have been spent a lot better elsewhere.
