From the BBC:

Cardiff City manager Mick McCarthy has left the club following Saturday's 2-0 home defeat by Middlesbrough.

The Bluebirds' eighth straight loss, the worst run in the club's history, followed the midweek loss at Fulham and last weekend's humbling 3-0 reverse at south Wales rivals Swansea City.

McCarthy departs with the Bluebirds 21st in the table, one point above the relegation places.

The former Republic of Ireland boss, 62, had been in charge since January.

McCarthy's assistant Terry O'Connor has also left the Cardiff City Stadium.

At least Terry Connor will keep his job.

Not unexpected. They overperformed under him last season when he took over and will be battling relegation with that squad.

Might Mick fit in with or suit the bar-codes?

Or will they be more interested on Koeman perhaps now Barca have "released" him?

Houghton to Cardiff looks a good fit.

Who is this Houghton that you speak of? :glare:

I don't know if the poster realised, but there was another manager with a very similar name, the much lesser known Chris Hughton, who managed a lesser known Sussex team, Brighton & Hove Albion for a few seasons.

Perhaps he could be considered for the Cardiff job, along with Bobby? :smile:
