Mick McCarthy to leave Ipswich Town before next match?

Ipswich Town manager Mick McCarthy hints that the 2-2 draw with Millwall could be his final game in charge.

Ipswich Town manager Mick McCarthy has hinted that he may have overseen his final game at the club.

Speaking in the wake of his side's 2-2 draw with Millwall in the Championship, the former Wolverhampton Wanderers coach insinuated that he may not see out his contract at Portman Road.

"The analogy I use is that I've never been in a driverless car – and I never, ever intend getting in one – but this must be what it feels like," the Ipswich Star quotes him as saying. "The car is yours and the responsibility still lies with you, but you haven't really got the control over it.

"I'm not enjoying it – no. I'm just being honest with how I feel. I'll leave it at that, whatever happens, but I'm not enjoying it."

McCarthy added: "If there is anything that will be lasting memory it will be the reaction of the players and how they have been with me. I've never left a job ever where the players have said 'I'll be glad to see the back of him'. And today they were brilliant.

"I'm pleased the fans have enjoyed it today and I think over my five-and-a-half years they have enjoyed more games than they haven't. From selling Murph (Daryl Murphy) last year and not replacing him it's just deteriorated. That was a great second half today though."

McCarthy previously announced that he will step down at the end of the season when his Ipswich contract expires.
