As AFKA has pointed out McCarthy's stocks were at an all-time low that summer and he was not an attractive option - not only was he ex-Millwall but he'd been relegated from the PL with a record low points tally, so he'd have been a far from popular choice for a club that was looking to move to the "next level" - which we did very well in the end.
I like McCarthy, very decent man (VDH incident aside) and takes no bullshit from anyone, not even the likes of Keane - his best player and a 'superstar' of the game.
He could not have done worse that Iain 'Master of Disaster' Dowie anyway.
