    If you were mccarthy, you should jump at the idea of USA or Australia.

    He still has 2 years left on his contract so I doubt he’ll be rushing out the door yet.

    Damm, every time I see a new post I think at last we have got rid of this 3 legged donkey, but no we were the only one’s stupid enough to offer him a contract and a super long one at that.
    I wonder if the Saudis want a well paid water bhoy?

    Would be difficult as he probably is no longer holds the kind of status and or ability for an american side to justify his wages.

    Maybe the australian lifestyle might suit though.

    Giving him a four year contract was shambolic. Defies logic.

    I wonder was this one of Dom McKay's * ups?

    Or did Lawwell have this in the pipeline before he "left".

    The four year deal was the trade off for the drop in salary.

    Far too easy for people to forget in hindsight, reality is without the length of contract he was never coming here. It’s no one’s fault it hasn’t worked out - almost to a man folk applauded the signing.

    Some of us (rightly) questioned it at the time.

    31st August 2021.

    A disastrous signing and entirely predictable.

    Anyone that suffered watching him in a ROI jersey defiantly did not applaud his signing.

    He should never have been signed to begin with never mind 4 years.


    A baffling decision.

    I doubt Desmond even knows who he is.

    This has Lawwell or McKay all over it.

    Well done, you suggested he would be a bad signing a month after he had signed…

    If we're feeling generous and nostalgic we should just give Aiden McGeady a 4 year deal aswell. And * it......get Shaun Maloney our of retirement and give him a 4 year deal aswell...........Derek Riordan, he can have one anaw

    Dom was the main one behind it, that was also the beginning of the end for him here giving McCarthy a 4 year deal.
