Mick McCarthy's six-year spell as Ipswich manager will come to an end when his contract expires this summer.

The 59-year-old, the longest-serving manager in the Sky Bet Championship, has agreed with club owner Marcus Evans to a parting of ways at the end of the campaign.

"Mick and I had a discussion and we both agreed that this was the best way forward for him and for Ipswich Town," Evans told itfc.co.uk after a meeting with McCarthy on Wednesday night.

"It never got to the point where we actually talked about a new contract. It just felt right that it was time for us both to look at different options.

"When Mick arrived, we looked to be on the way to relegation. He saved us from that and then took us to the play-offs within two years.

"In his six years here he has made us a very competitive club in what is a very competitive league.

"I want to put on record my sincere thanks to Mick for the job he has done here as our manager."

 
talking about a section of fans here. worth a read

Q: Do you think you’ve got the respect you deserved? Should you have banked more from 2012/13 and then the year you got Town into the play-offs?

MM: I don’t know, you’ll have to ask the numbskulls who have been giving me the abuse. I think that’s what they are to be quite honest. It’s not everybody and that comment is for the people who have been doing it and, I think, ruining games at Portman Road and making it a hard place to play.

You will have to ask them and they probably don’t give too many people respect, let alone the manager.

Alan Pardew has left West Brom by mutual consent after winning just one Premier League game in his fourth-month spell as head coach - a run that has left the club facing relegation.

The Baggies lie bottom of the table, 10 points adrift of safety with only six games of the season left, and Saturday's 2-1 defeat at home to Burnley was their eighth top-flight loss in a row.
