Ipswich Town Chairman Marcus Evans - 'I've called you all today to discuss the comings and goings currently happening at Ipswich Town Football Club. I am here to inform you of the resignation letter I received this morning from our manager Mick McCarthy. It comes out of the blue, and although we, the club and the management are disappointed by Mick's decision, we can understand his reasoning for leaving the club. Wanting to manage abroad has always been a dream of Mick's since the beginning of his managerial career, so we wish him all the best of luck in the future. As the beginning of the season moves closer, we will be searching for a replacement, and we hope to bring you a name soon. Thank you for your time.'
Sitting at home, with my Ipswich scarf around my neck, both my brothers either side of me, I eagerly awaited the news of Mick's departure. The club was in turmoil, a downward spiral from the season before, and I knew that McCarthy wanted to leave. As the news broke, myself and my brothers showed signs of sadness, but also signs of revelation. 'Who do you think we will bring in now then' James pondered from the end of the sofa. 'I don't know, bro, but at this rate, I'd accept even our little brother Tommy as our new manager.' Harvey spoke it as a joke, but the sentence lit a light bulb above my head. I had just returned from gaining my National C Coaching Badge, and the prospect of becoming a manager had interested me from a young age. 'Screw it,' I thought to myself. 'Why can't I become the next Ipswich manager, so I picked up the phone, and I waited for an answer.
