McCarthy and assistant Terry Connor leave ‘by mutual consent’
Club second-bottom in Championship, seven points from safety

Mick McCarthy has parted company with the Championship side Blackpool after 14 games, with the club deep in relegation trouble.

McCarthy and his long-term assistant, Terry Connor, who were appointed in January on deals until the end of the season, departed after Friday’s 3-1 home defeat by Cardiff – the former Republic of Ireland manager’s previous club – which left Blackpool seven points shy of the last safe spot with six games to play.
