MICK McCARTHY:




How much are you now looking at next season, chats with the chairman / owner soon?



We need to be having a chat about that and I will be doing that as soon as possible, in terms of the players we require.

There are players on loan, some out of contract.

We are certainly looking towards next season.

But first and foremost, everything is easier to plan for if you win on the Saturday, so Blackburn is my focus at the moment.

How much scope do you have to change things?


There’s not much scope to change any defenders! They have been excellent and not given that many goals away.

Sweeping changes don’t always work, but I’ll be considering it certainly.

We had 18 players out training today, so there’s not much scope.

McCarthy

You’ve had time to assess the squad, haven’t you?





When you’re on that brilliant run, everything seems golden.

Not to me, I could still see areas we could strengthen, what players could do better at.

But the bad run and bad results exacerbate that.

Everyone starts looking and can critique then. Even at that you have to look at the good in things as well.

MICK McCARTHY:


Expecting a busy summer? How much will this summer be affected by Covid?


Who knows? We will get down to our business when we get down to it.

Football will be affected. Contracts will be affected. There are no fans, there’s no revenue.

I don’t know what it’s costing Vincent to keep this club going, it’s amazing clubs are continuing in the way they are.

McCarthy

Nothing happens without Vincent Tan?




Absolutely! I’ve just seen Ipsiwch have been taken over, Derby have been taken over. Everyone is looking for someone to come in and invest some money.
