Mick says Ipswich his only route to big time

Mick McCarthy says Ipswich represent his best chance of a return to the big time as he doubts a Premier League club will employ him.

Ipswich currently lie second in the Championship, a point behind leaders Bournemouth and two ahead of today’s opponents Derby.

Ipswich’s success this season represents a stunning achievement on the part of the former Ireland manager given he has spent a mere £10,000 in his time at Portman Road.
