Yeah, both. Their fans didn’t want him from day one. Imagine if these fanatics had lost 9-0 not just once but twice - their ground would’ve undoubtedly been reduced to ashes by now.

Abysmal, especially in a league that’s basically a two-horse race. Celtic and Rangers have absurd buying power next to the other ten clubs.

He’s being talked about as arguably one of the worst managers ever in Scotland, given the budget he’s had. Meanwhile, Rangers are stuck with overpriced players he picked and can’t offload - they're getting the full RM-experience.

They’re not fucking around up North. In comparison, here we were handing out custard creams and hugs after a 0–5 humiliation.

Imagine spending more than your opponents are worth, having a squad on ten times the wages - and still looking like a bunch of uncoachable school kids playing tiki-taka in a minefield

Agreed. Needs some more passing between the two CBs and GK.

Baz would’ve saved that

For the level, he’s got to be one of the worst managers I’ve ever seen. One predictable philosophy that never works, no adaptability, lots of errors, basically no clue - yet somehow he keeps finding a job. Incredible.

Rangers supporters hate him with a passion - nothing like the comfy tea club he got away with at Saints

I’ve never seen that, score a winner and the whole crowd tell the manager to gtfo.

Considering the money involved, it’s mad. Championship or not, it’s still a massive financial level, you’d think the absolute bare minimum would be not fielding donkeys in goal.

McCarthy has his howlers, but as a shot-stopper he’s acceptable at this level. Bazunu’s good with the ball at his feet, but his shot-stopping is honestly non-league. McCarthy edges it for me.

He really is shit, but yet the better option. Tells you everything you need to know about the state of this club.

He can play, but surely not as GK?

Have to correct you there, he 'only' has the 2nd lowest shot/save % (for now).

Please stop playing him, it’s pure sabotage. Every season he’s played for us, he’s been the worst GK in the league.

"Southampton had more errors leading to goals than anyone else at (10) and more mistakes leading to shots than any other side (26) Saints faced 108 shots on target - the most in the Premier League" What never gets mentioned is that during RM's PL tenure, we had the 2nd-highest possession %, with Jan Bednarek - a centre-back and two-time 9–0 veteran - clocking up the 2nd-most possession in the league

Nostalgic. I miss it.

Says a lot about how low the bar is when people prefer McCarthy to Bazunu. In this league, the only keepers worse than McCarthy are Baz and Danny Ward.

This one is spot on to the above. 😂 Jeez, he’s got to be one of the worst managers ever when you factor in the level and money involved, surely?

Football fans know his ‘philosophy’ all too well. When Leicester were linked with him, their fans called out his one-dimensional suicideball straight away, they didn't want him. Rangers fans didn't want him. He nearly threw away our promotion because his sides couldn’t defend to save their lives, and that was with the second-biggest budget in the league. Which really makes you wonder: what game is he talking behind closed doors that keeps getting him employed?

As bad a manager as you’ll ever see. Proof that watching peak Pep-ball on YouTube doesn’t qualify you to run a professional side. What a complete fraud.

No different now. McCarthy will still clown around and drop the odd howler, but at least he makes the routine saves. Still a better option than the league’s worst shot-stopper.

McCarthy’s a bit of a circus act in goal, but I’d still have him ahead of Baz almost every time
