Ipswich manager Mick McCarthy said:
"You can probably see why I am going. The reaction after I took Barry Cotter off - that's just pathetic," he said. "I've signed him and played him. He's absolutely knackered and has to come off.
"That was a disgraceful reaction, but I won't have to listen to it again because that's my last game - I'm out of here. It's sad because I've loved my time here.
"I can't think of one member of staff who wants me to leave or one player who wants me to leave. It's an unusual situation, isn't it? I take pride in that. I love the bones of the lads."
