McCarthy is out of work after leaving Queens Park Rangers’ league rivals Ipswich Town.
Several Queens Park Rangers fans already have one man in mind should Steve McClaren lose his job as manager at Loftus Road.
McClaren is under pressure after guiding QPR to four defeats in his first four league games in charge.
Mick McCarthy, meanwhile, remains out of work having left Ipswich Town in April, and is a popular choice to replace the former England manager.
This is what those of a Hoops persuasion are saying after their side’s latest loss – 3-0 at home to Bristol City…
Not all QPR fans feel the same way, however…
McCarthy, who has twice taken teams into the Premier League, helped Ipswich to four top-half finishes in six years at Portman Road.
The 59-year-old sensationally quit the Tractor Boys ahead of his contract expiring, however, having continued to receive criticism from some Ipswich fans.
Ipswich operated on a tight budget throughout McCarthy’s reign – an experience that could single out the Yorkshireman should the QPR job become available.
