Mick McCarthy has quit as Ipswich boss in the best possible way
He was already due to leave the club at the end of the season but his exit was hastened by events during last night's win 1-0 over Barnsley.
After his decision to take off young defender Barry Cotter (who incidentally looks quite a lot like Neymar) early in the second half was met with a chorus of boos, McCarthy decided enough was enough and turned in his badge and gun at the post-match press conference.
“It was a disgraceful reaction, that but it’s the last time I’ll have to hear it because that’s my last game. I’m out of here.”
And with that he was gone.

We can't find a video of the exact incident unfortunately but this interview with the club's online TV channel shortly afterwards covers a lot of the main themes.

What a guy!
Be rude not to revisit another press conference classic while we're here.

"Some people might think that's two points dropped."
"Some people can f**k off." 😂👏

Here's hoping he finds another club real, real soon.
