A comment made by Mick McCarthy has been slammed by Hearts after the former Republic of Ireland manager questioned whether the Jambos were being honest about his club’s interest in Toby Sibbick.
The recently-appointed Seasiders boss was responding to questions about Sibbick after reports claimed his club had been told the former Barnsley player was not for sale after submitting a bid.
Quoted on Lancashire Live, the former Celtic defender said: “We’ve been looking around at players and (are) interested in players, but I wouldn’t discuss transfers unless someone comes into the building – and then I’d say ‘you’d know by then’.
