This year is shot to fuck already
Unless McCarthy is a miracle worker. Best case scenario, he comes in today and the board gives him a blank cheque to rebuild the squad as he sees fit. He's still got to buy an entire defence, plus a 20-a-season man (or Sylvain Ebanks-Blake, to give him his full name), work out his best team from a plethora of out-of-nick midfielders, get a load of players who spent last season looking like they'd never met playing well with each other and 7 or 8 new faces, and he's got less than a month to make it happen. I only hope the board don't sack him at Christmas when we're sat in mid-table. I'd be happy with mid-table.
