Wolves chief executive Jez Moxey insists the club won’t be sacking the manager – despite fans blaming Mick McCarthy for the failure to make the play-offs.
McCarthy has been the scapegoat as Wolves finished on five points fewer than last season’s play-off semi-finalists despite heavy investment in the team.
Owner-chairman Steve Morgan has already said McCarthy’s future is safe this summer, convinced ‘something special’ is being created with the youthful team being assembled.
“I think Mick has done a great job,” said Moxey. “I can’t see any reason why he wouldn’t be here (next season).
“The club has historically got rid of managers too quickly and that word patience both inside the boardroom and on the terraces is really important.
“Because if we’re going to try to build something, it takes time.
“We’re building something we think is quite special and I’m surprised at the sea change from ‘Super Mick’ to something less complimentary!
“That’s football, but sometimes we have to say ‘we know what we’re doing, we’ve got a plan, we’re sticking to it and hopefully the fans can stick with us. By and large, they have done.”
Moxey believes injuries – and in particular to Michael Kightly – hit Wolves’ hopes hard.
“We finished seventh. We would all liked to have been promoted automatically, but we haven’t,” he said.
“There are many reasons for that. Losing Michael Kighly for 27 League games when all our fans can see the really positive impact he makes, has been a loss some people have overlooked.
“Had he been available and not got injured in November, who knows where we may be right now?
“It’s important not to use injuries as an excuse and it would be wrong to highlight one player.
“We’ve had lots of injuries – Matt Jarvis, full-backs, centre-backs, central midfielders and strikers.”

THIS HAS SPOILED MY DAY!
DREADIN WATCHIN THAT SAME OLD RUBBISH AT THE MOLINEUX NEXT YEAR!!
We have the perfect opputurnity to get INCEY and start playin football the right way.
MOXEY has got to go cos with him at our club we’l never do anything!
Must agree we wont get anywhere keep on sacking managers,i know we are all dissapointed but when you look at it we was not that far off getting in the promotion shake up.So lets all get behind the manager and players and have a posotive start to next season,a few new faces at the club will lift everyone but my prority would be a centre back with pace and a creative midfielder.
I just hope that we do not have to abide another season similar to the last ! After MM’s comments the other day about 2007/8 season I have grave doubts things will change - the selections, favouritisms, tactics, ability to play so many players out of position, arrogance & inane comments - I really hope I am wrong but …..
Not often i agree with Jez, but fair play i think he’s right. Sacking managers every time we (the fans) don’t get into play offs or loose to the stripey lot will never get us anywhere. And before any boinger reminds us of how long their man has been in place, just remember the legacy he was left by the previous manager. MM has done well, it’s a pretty good young side,something we moaned about for years when we filled the club with has beens. Let him finish what he started and if HE wants to go, then different story.
hahaha moxey you make me laff what we going to do next season when kighlty isnt playin for wolves whats your excuse then??? get rid of mick, breen, collins, elliott bring in ramage (free), a good attack minded central midfielder anoter centre half with pace then we shouldnt be a million miles away!!!!
If is isn’t going to be sacked, maybe he will be man enough to resign!
jez, when you get injurys thats when your manager earns his wages, bringing in replacements, or loan signings of the quality of sinclair instead of gibson,if you look at the teams who went up or got close there loanplayers where instrumental in getting them there, wether you agree with the loan signingprinciple or not it is invaluable in our division but yet again we came up short.
so we didnt go up because kights was injured? well that fills us with optimism, lets hope he dosent get kicked again or even SOLD jez.
I’m ambivalent to the manager situation as I’m not sure there’s anyone better available but when Hoddle finished 7th with Wolves, Jez said it was a disaster but with Mick it was a great job?
Only the super successful Managers are immune from the sack….ie. Sir Matt Busby and Sir Alex Ferguson easily spring to mind.
No Manager is ultimately “safe” especially in the results-run industry that it is now football.
Next season will see Wolves joing forces in the CC League with the likes of Hull City, Watford, Crystal Palace and Bristol City (if not promoted via the play-offs), along with a revitalised Sheffield United, Charlton Athletic, Birmingham City, Reading/Fulham and Derby County. Somewhere out of the pack will come a couple of surprise teams that will be in the mix for automatic and/or Play-off contention.
Unless we kick-start our season from Day 1 of the Championship season a decision on Mick’s future may ultimately come to haunt us again in the Autumn. For all the “spin” coming out of Molineux at present we cannot forget or disguise the fact that this season has been a major disappointment in a mediocre division and a god-sent opportunity to attain Premiership Football was squandered.
dont know whether to laugh or cry!
O please come on - I have been at all the home matches & the standard of football is dire. We deserved what we got & it is about time the management were held accountable. the number of chances created, the favouritism towards players who clearly are not good enough & wouldn’t get into any of our rivals squads let alone teams. It is stupid to suggest that Kightly being missing was the reason we were no where near good enough.
If Mick doesn’t go now Morgan will be forced to sack him before Christmas because he simply doesn;t have the talent to get us up.
excuses, excuses, excuses….
Is that really your chief exec suggesting Wolves are a one man team??
To blame Kites injury for not reaching the play-offs is ridiculous, does Mr Moxey know anything about football at all, if he did he would realise that football is a team game that involves the whole squad. No wonder he is happy with Mick, they both sing from the same hymn sheet.
In a season of PR gaffs by all of our local teams, it seems Moxey has just delivered another.
Saying we would all have liked automatic promotion is kind of stating the obvious isnt it??
Even as an Albion fan i can know understand Wolves fans frustration with this guy in charge, even if the right decision is to keep Mick as manager, Moxey has made himself look a little naive and foolish with these comments.
“It would be wrong to highlight one player”
Jez, you just did.
He won’t resign.
Jeez, i can’t wait to watch the same dull sideways and backwards football next season.
Sometimes sends me to sleep…
We need someone to really brighten up the Molineux because at the minute it’s all doom and gloom.
If he is staying, then Mick has my 100% backing. Lets build around the better players we have got already in the side.
MM doubters, there is nothing you or the others can do it about it, so you may as well get behind the lads. I just hope Mick realises he has to think about what he says and always think when making a team selection, that saying about ‘ pegs & holes’.
Come On Mick. Lets get automatic promotion!
Not a lot of point in commenting as all you shall hear from many of our idiots is get MM out get Moxey out get Morgan out. As that is about the sum total of their thought system and apparently if we do that all shall be fine and we shall win everything.
When will they learn that 2 years (considering what he had when he got here) is not enough to judge him. Or maybe we should do a Leicester and just swap manager all the time if we’re not winning every game. Worked for them didn’t it?!?!~
Now i’m not saying MM is definitely the right man, but you can’t be definite over any Manager. MM did a great job in his first season and this season ok (thought he made mistakes particularly in the first half of the season, but all managers do make mistakes. Second half has looked a lot better and left me thinking we aren’t many players off an automatic promotion team) and I feel he should be given our full support next season, with the team knowing the fans are behind them for a change and judge him then. So keep MM.
Have you seen MK Dons play football ?
Believe me it is awful stuff.
Jez is bang on.
Imagine if Everton had sacked Moyes or Forest had sacked Calderwood, i dont see them being where they are now if they had.
It takes time and pleny of paitence.
If losing Michael Kightly is being held up as one of the main reasons behind the failure, can someone please explain why it took so long to diagnose the problem “spur”! This is just absolute incompetence and in today’s climate is totally unacceptable; could you see Man Utd leaving Ronaldo out for 5 months when they could get him back in 2 with the correct diagnosis and treatment? BONKERS
agree with commnet 1, been checking the web every day hoping that MM will be sacked…!
Some of the gaves i’ve seen at wolves this season have been beyond poor, i was embrassed to bring my mate who was a luton fan!
MM has been unlucky with injuries to key players, but we didn’t use the loan system well, and MM doesn’t seem to have the ability to change things around when things are not going well… just keeps going with the same old…
AND if we get some so called “decent” players in, will MM actually even pick them? will they just keep the bench warm?
I’m surprised that mr morgan hasn’t done something, we are in a results game after all and two years should be enough to show how we are doing…
its not the missing out on the playoffs that annoyed fans, but actually how badly we have played for big parts of the season..
right time the take a chill pill… i guess there is always another year…
Oh dear ……….. I thought he was to be judged at the end of the season, Jez you are basically saying 7th is an acceptable place to finish, I tell you now IT IS NOT!!!!
So what if Kites was injured for 27 games, he played Elliot on the right who did average, but MM came out and said he would never drop him if we bought someone in anyway, alarm bells should be ringing. Stephen Ward is “his best EVER signing” his words certainly not mine, FFS Jez!
We have a young team but we have players who are hanging on to there contract by the skin of there teeth, are Breen and Craddock going to go as there contracts expire next month because they both should (regardless of Craddock being good this season). Collins, Ward, Ward, Elliot, Bothroyd should all go.
Olifinjana should go, why has he decided to give it the big’un and say he might not be here next season? Well if Everton and boro want him then sell him and get in someone else.
Lot’s of decisions need to be made and very quickly to get the fans back on side!!!
Kightly missed so many games because McArthy brought him back to early in the FA Cup to save his own skin.Craddock to Stoke early on helped them to vital points when our defence has been a joke.Sent Eastwood to Coventry then tried to sell him to Coventry.Missed signing Scott Dann and Fox from Walsall for peanuts…Dissed the fans… I know too many people who won’t be going while Moxey and Mcarthy are still here and once they stop it’s hard to get them back.I’d love to see a 40,000 seat stadium full every week but can’t see it under this pair.
MM said when he came to the Wolves that he needed 3 years to build a side and get promotion to the Premier League.Jez’s statement indicates that he will have his wish. Not being involved in the playoffs will give MM the opportunity to buy new players NOW before they have disappeared on their holidays rather than having to wait some more weeks for the playoffs to pan out and then deciding who to buy, based on which division the team is going to be in. In other words he can steal a march on some of his rivals. MM also has the promised financial backing of the chairman. Some more prudent buying like the purchase of SEB from Plymouth is required, particularly in areas where we know we are weak e.g. central defence. We should have an idea by the end of the summer what our likely prospects are going to be in the 2008/2009 season based on the strength of the squad MM has assembled. Let us all hope that it is more than good enough to get the job done.
That’s ruined my day too…lack of guts spineless board spineless owner…we talking about Wolves not Accrington Stanley that failed to gain promotion, when will they realise that this is a big blow and you can’t just carry on like it doesn’t matter. failure has a price at this level…and if the price of that failure is positive reward, then more of the same will be forthcoming next season and the season after that.
Its about consequences of bad management decisions, Wolves never learn anything…never. I dispair.
….” and finally Glen Hoddles job is safe…there’s no danger of him being sa….ermmm Glen? Glen?”
What does Moxey know about Football?????
so mm and moxey what the hell are the reserves for if not to replace injured players and if we haven,t got the reserves to replace the injured whos fault is that .you have reserves who are scoring but mick too stubburn to play them you have full backs better then in in first team mm won,t play them he has too many favourites that let him and the fans down week in and week out but there again moxey knows that if mm goes no else will come because of moxey espealliy ince
I’ll be first to say it i doe care what you lot think….Kevin Philips get him signed. quick!
mk dons won 2 trophies under ince , and are you saying wolves play good football 18
Count me out of watching the same old garbage next season then, at least until Xmas when he gets the sack.
give the man a chance its the best football ive seen at the wolves for thirty years
Scapegoat!!?? Surely the man who assembles/picks and motivates the team is the one to blame, not the Scapegoat!!!
oh well i know where i wont be wasting my saturday’s next season. 7th place is obviously good enough for the board because they dont have to invest heavily in a squad fit for the premier. Young team breen, craddock, Gray? your’e having a laugh JEZ
i’d love it if mccarthy could change it round but i doubt it
1. he needs to stop picking/buying favourite ex players! thats the past! this is the future and present!
2. much as he hates him, freddy eastwood is currently the 2nd best striker at the club and at worst 3rd best striker! so no more kyle, elliot, bothroyd, ward whoever getting in front of freddy
3. why we blaming everything on kightly being injured?
wba lost phillips and miller - both infleutinal at that time for around 1month! they still went up! why? because they got
1. good enough squad to deal with injuries
2. they just got on with it instead of moaning
perfect example, henry, edwards injured! where was our midfield in bristol and ipswich games?
NathanWolves you are spot on. Especially regarding Mick’s comment about Elliot on the wing. Unbelievable! If we had got a decent winger on loan we would be in the play off’s now.
As for the Ramage rumour. I have always had a good laugh when I watch him play and have often joked that he would join us one day. He is in the same player as Lowe/Clyde/Breen. Pace at the back please!
Negative, negative, negative……….
Wny so negative ?
It’s a lovely sunny day, the birds are singing and ect………
FFS be positive for once than maybe we wont be considered a laughing stock by other fans.
FANTASTIC NEWS..another season of kyle, collins, s.ward, elliott and what ever rubbish muppet decides to draft in during the summer. i will donate £100 to a charity if we get anywhere near the play offs next season.
look on the bright side..WE’LL HAVE PLENTY TO BOO ABOUT NEXT SEASON..oohh can’t wait!!
The one thing this club needs is stability something it hasnt had for along time.
This season has been disappointing but a certain Alex Ferguson won nothing for 4 seasons and look what happened.
Give MM another season and then nowone can say he wasn’t given a fair crack.
The problem at Wolves is that we expect instant success and even if the club appointed Paul Ince or someone else if after six months we wern’t near the top the fans would be calling for the managers head again for Wolves fans it appears there is no happy medium.
For the club to move we need stability and the sooner the moaners realise this the better.
2 tophies at the 4th level of football.
We dont play bad football (watch Watford if you think we are bad) what would happen if Ince comes in and fails i.e mid-table or worse, will he get hounded out like Turner, Taylor & Jones ?
And of course another year in the 2nd level of football.
Football is a business like any other, if you dont like the service stay away. Are you entertained, does it exite you, are you satisfied with what you have got for your money?
The employees from top to bottom at Wolves couldnt give a toss about supporters opinions and as long as supporters keep turning up and they get paid they dont care what we think or say.
When the ticket sales etc stop, then and only then do the suits start to think what should be done. Wolves should be a BIG club it has the support, and infastructure to go to the Premiership and stay there but yet we have suffered the same dross for the best part of 30 years or more. Look at the talent we have had and sold or lost to so called bigger clubs. Teams like Barnsley, Reading, Wimbledon,to name just a few teams who dont have anything like Wolves resourses or support have graced the Premiership in recent years. The management at our club has no ambition and is content with AVERAGE as long as they can balance the books.
Sounds like I have been more entertained by watching the games on teletext. I’m off to watch the Zulus play barefoot, now there is entertainment for you and its free!
Moxey employed Hoddle and McCarthy - he pleaded with Hoddle to stay and now he’s standing by MM as it would reflect badly on him to wield the axe now.
The truth is MM is a dinosaur of a manager who is not capable of producing a team playing good football - it’s long ball or nothing. If, as seems likely, he is here next season the best we can hope for is the playoffs as the better teams will pick us off (as they did this season!). Even if we did go up next season does anyone think MM can attract the right players to produce a team capable of staying up ? I for one don’t.
Well done Jez.
You keep tight control of the balance sheet and next season sanction more of the same speculative purchases other than SEB. 1 out of 6 a 16% success rate IS WHAT I CALL A WASTE OF CASH. The only reason you’re keeping MM is that he’s cheaper than an alternative. I’m glad you’re not spending my money. Deep down you can’t be altogether happy at what the future holds even with assurances from MM.
If you don’t like it don’t go.
McCarthy is building a team
We have fired managers to quickly
The team is very young
Tamworth Wolf
Sorry for a second then i thought i read that someone was comparing Mick to Sir alex Ferguson, should of gone to specsavers!!
jez is spot on, we sacked dave jones and graham taylor far too easily both, in my opinion , would have been great for wolves given the time, the same fickle ,impatient fans calling for MM’s head now put paid to those 2 men. Thankfully morgan isnt listening to them, stability is whats needed, and mark my words, those fickle fans will be jumping back on the”Super-Mick” bandwagon again should we have a great season next year!!!!
Sorry Moxey but your ‘McCarthy is staying’ message is going to hurt the club!
Now you have made this announcement watch how many season ticket applications arrive during the close season, for the fans will choose their matches and the fall in revenue is going to harm the club’s finances.
If you don’t know already, supporters have heard enough excuses for the poor performances this past season and are sick and tired of the annual under achievement of this club. Patience is all very well if this was a new club with no roots or history but this club was one of the League’s founders and amongst it’s history are the days of cup and league title glories, of famous players and enormous crowds AND of course the first British club to beat European opposition! Patience is not a word to be banded around Molineux lightly!
As for McCarthy, he showed almost total ineptitude with tactics, with players’ availability, by playing ultra-defensively and amazingly criticising the very fans who turn up week in and week out to support their team.
Yet another season of McCarthy will see support dwindle until only those who are totally blind or stupid or indeed both will turn up for every home game!
So the answer is clear - McCARTHY MUST GO!!!
To the question of ’something special being built’ what is that exactly and do you really believe McCarthy is the man to achieve it because the majority of Wolves fans do not!
One good first season had some calling him ‘Super Mick’ but 1 good season does not make anyone a success, only consistently producing both good results and good performances can do that! McCarthy is incapable of consistently doing it but keep on believing he can and you will regret not taking the opportunity to replace him when it all falls flat and with the supporters baying for blood again, only next time it will be for yours as well!!
Moxey you must remember that fans pay hard earned money to watch football unlike you who watch for free with all the food and drink thrown in and those supporters who travel to watch Wolves play away games will seriously consider staying at home should McCarthy remain.
The antagonism which has been displayed at more home games than for many a season originated with Mad Mick and his stubborn ‘I am right and everyone else is wrong’ attitude and comments that ‘I do not read the newspapers or watch the tv’ is just plainly stupid from any football manager.
Finally this ‘grand design’ of Morgan’s for improving the stadium will in essence be a dead duck if the club continues with this manager whose track record at club level is average at best. You may well quote his successes with Millwall and Sunderland but we are aiming at the Premiership, the best that the UK can offer and do you really believe Mad Mick can ‘cut-it’ should we get there? If you do then I suggest you are in the minority!
Just in case you are still unclear in what I have tried to say, it is this:- McCARTHY MUST GO!!!
Well I can almost write the script McCarthy given target of automatic playoffs ,by November mid table and McCarthy saying I dont bother looking at the table untill April Judge me at the end of season and then Morgan realising McCarthy will have to go after crowds falling to 18000.New manager in by January and season over.
What have we as fans got to look forward to NOTHING.
So thats it then, another season of absolute drivel awaits - regardless of what mood the fans are in, this idiot cannot assemble anything resembling an attacking, creative side.
We got rid of Colin Lee and Davey Jones too quickly, no doubt in my mind. This muppet however has had his go, been given his targets and failed miserably.
Im off now to see what ladbrokes is offering on him getting sacked in December
If we get rid of him its just swings and roundabouts. OK, we could get Ince or Allardyce or anyone of the other names thrown around but it doesn’t mean success. We’ve had two former england managers and they couldn’t get us promoted. In fact, Mick has already got us as close as either of them did.
Yes he’s frustrated me at times with his tactics and team selection but I don’t think sacking him would benefit us. Let’s try something new and actually stick with a manager when it would be easier to pull the plug. It might actually work.
Also Jez not forgetting Mick’s interview on WM after the albion Match. Tony Mowbray was interviewed first, he went on to talk about, pace, quality, keeping hold of possession, when it was MM’s turn he said “we put in a shift”, i burst out laughing in the car on the way back from the match when he said that.
He is not tactically astute enough to be a football manager at this level! End of!!
John Lennon did a song about this…
Imagine no promotion
It’s easy if you try
No teams below us
Above us the sky blues
Imagine all our good players
leaving to get a game…
Imagine no defenders
It isn’t hard to do
A goalkeeper under seige
Four men without a clue
Imagine all our midfielders
Camped out in their six yard too…oooo oohhohhh
You may say I’m a Moaner
But I’m not the only one
I hope someday you’ll join us
And the Wolves will be as one
Imagine no possession
A forward pass you’ll never see
No sign of Seb or Kightly
They’re playing for the Toffees
Imagine all the blame
placed with the fans or referee … eee eehheeee
You may say I’m a dreamer
But I’m not the only one
I know someday we’ll be rid of mick
And the Wolves will be as one
tonimischi
yes you right mate. him and seb there is at least 40 goals thats nearly what we scored this season.
““I think Mick has done a great job,” said Moxey. “I can’t see any reason why he wouldn’t be here (next season”
You gotta be joking.
If there had been ANY improvement from last season I am sure most fans would give McCarthy a chance despite the 7th place position.
However there has been NO whatsoever. The manager has seemed clueless for most games, and in order to build something, you need to have a plan.
Sir Alex Ferguson had a plan, a certain style that he wanted Man Utd to play, but what is McCarthys big plan?
It’s not a PLAN to play youngsters. The plan is HOW to develop those youngsters, and what style you want them to play.
Neither is it very visionary to buy a talented 24-year old(Eastwood) yet replace him with a less talented 28-year old(Kyle) on loan.
Heres one for you Jez ignore us Fans at your peril you wont even need a 20000 seat staduim next year
Moxey left Stoke a few years ago…..and now look where they are.
Says it all really!!
moxey and muppet mick OUT!!!!!!!!!A great season moxey?What planet are you living on?The football has been painful to watch,mick persists with playing rubbish like keogh and ward every week AND MORGAN SPENDS AS MUCH TIME WATCHING LPOOL AS HE DOES WATCHING WOLVES…..I cant see any light at the end of the tunnel.I have been a season ticket holder this season but dont intend to return as I dont like the direction the club is going,moxey,morgan and thick mick are to politely put it,extracting the michael out of the fans.The 3 “m”s are becoming the 3 stooges,GET IT SORTED…
As someone else already said - Hoddle finished 7th and it was a disaster; but MM finishes 7th and spends what 7.5m and its progress?
When will Morgan stop the McCarthy and Moxey love in?
As we see it, McCarthy and Moxey have an “understanding” - which so far has meant a few decent players, alot of less than average players (very cheap wages - we imagine of course - these would not get into a decent 1st Div team!) and Dad’s Army
The talented youngster mentallity has totally gone out of the window and the so-called youngsters have been shipped out on loan - We can remember MM stating that he cant play these youngsters regularly with so much at stake to the media (around the time that Barnsley were having a great run in ths FA Cup)
So why does the club keep spouting off about the youngsters etc when most of our home grown no longer get a sniff?
As for the pre season bull about “getting in Prem loanees” Where are they? - Gibson? Stack? was that the size of the promise/ BS?
TM at the Boggies took 2 seasons and got to Wembley (twice) and won the league - Roy Keane got Sunderland up first time - We achieve nothing and hey we’ve made progress???
TM at Albion may have inherited some of the Albion squad - BUT if we recollect, WHEN TM took over there was a exodus out of the club - and spending money does not guarantee success - good management and tactics does!!!
NB* Perhaps a better example is Stoke City - No great amount of money spent and Automatic place assured - What’s Moxey’s excuse for Stoke??? A Club that has moved forward without the Great Moxey (LOL)
In the words of Forrest Gump Mr Morgan - Stupid is as Stupid does!
your voices are falling on deaf ears,they dont care what you think boing boing in mick we trust
If he is remaining at the club then we are going to have to support him while he is there. I am one who want us to get rid, but there is nothing we can do about it if he is staying…..One thing is for certain though, he needs to use the money a hell of a lot better than he did last season, and bring in quality whether that means spending a bit rather than always looking for the cheap option.
“your voices are falling on deaf ears,they dont care what you think boing boing in mick we trust”
I am sure they would if people stopped paying there wages.
ALL YOU WHINGERS STOP MOANING WANTING MCCARTHYS HEAD HE BEST MAN FOR JOB GET BEHIND HIM AND THE TEAM AND STOP WHINGING
Fine, I know now I can put my spend my season ticket money on something else.
Thanks Jez
nice 1 hear that our team can’t win unless we have kights and jarvis play, yep good 2 know! MICK OUT!!
not often i agree with moxey but this time i do its no good sacking mick he had a 3 year plan .so long as he gets rid of the dead wood now and brings in some quality players to build on some off the young talent we have got.gunna need at least 6 or 7 players though 3 defenders.winger or two.striker.cent midfielder…but get rid of breen.the 2 wards.elliot.gibbo.potter.kyle.collins.bothroyd.
Having been a supporter of Wolves for 48 years
the club is now a joke, we will be dithering again when trying to sign players during the break. It’s the same every season we always miss out on decent players by waiting to long. I cannot believe we have to put with another season of excuses and mediocre football.
It’s fine sticking by a manager if you can see an improving side but we have gone backwards this season, money wasted on Mick’s poor signings.
A message for Jez Moxey you do not have to spend millions to make a good team in the Champiomship just look at Stoke and Hull. They have spent a fraction of what Wolves did but have had better managers and motivators something that has been sadly lacking at Wolves all Season.
I’m still waiting to see signs of this ’something special’ to which he keeps referring.
It looked like a team who huffed and puffed, put a shift in but achieved very little to me.
Yes we have 3 special players, but you need more than that to make a special team.
61) all the caps in the world wont make you seem less of an ignoramus
65. Fans like you have been moaning we don’t play entertaining football all season. If we did it like Hull and Stoke and went up you’d still moan about the poor football. Like the way you drop your 48 years in, like that guarantees you know loads.
Well thats all we needed.Eloquent delivery as always by the ventriloquists dummy.
Our neighbours are upset because there is no parade and he has just sh** on ours.
“I’m surprised at the sea change from ‘Super Mick’ to something less complimentary!”
This is yet another insult to fans. You should have said “I totally understand the sea of change…” but no, you’re trying to spin your way out & make it look like its fans being fickle & unreasonable.
First of all it’s nice to see that our chief exec thinks we’re a 1 man team and it’s acceptable.
Secondly has anybody else noticed the similarities between Moxey and Muppet?
1. The most successful manager we’ve had for years (Dave Jones) stands up to Moxey about lack of financial backing and gets sacked, players speak out to Muppet they get dropped.
2. Both slag off the fans
3. Both think there is clear, exciting play and progress on the pitch
4. Both are arrogant
No wonder they get on so well!
I’ve resigned myself to another couple of seasons atleast in this godforsaken league and before any of the muppet lovers come out saying anything about their beloved northern monkey I wont be changing my tune if we do well next season cos I still dont rate him and he wont be able to keep us in the prem because he hasn’t got the tactical nouse
64 agree with those players apart from Elliot who i’d keep as back up, more proven in this league than FE. Also like to point that whilst I don’t think we should keep Kyle I think MM used him to good affect.
“If Micks here i’m giving up my season ticket”
What that imaginary season ticket
Come on, that sounds pathetic it’s like saying “i’m not going to the party if (insert name) is going” very childish.
Surely if your a Wolves fan it should not matter who is in charge as your a fan of the club not the manager.
68) so you can see the future… i take it you’ve placed a tenner on mick getting the boot in December then ?
72 Wolves9…yep think your right elliot could be a valuable player next season just got a bit carried away lol.i also think if freddy would stay we wouldnt need to get anouther striker but cant see that happening
74 Don’t need to see the future to know what your going to say on every story. Boring.
70 “but no, you’re trying to spin your way out & make it look like its fans being fickle & unreasonable.” Think your quite capable of doing that for yourself.
Just a thought for Mr.Moxey.Quite a number of the supporters have said they will not be renewing their season tickets if Mick stays,how many have said likewise if he goes.
can we please please please stop comparing Wolves to Man Utd and MM to Sir Alex.
It’s all well and good saying well Alex was given four years and look at them now - they had Beckham, Scholes, Giggs, Neville Brothers coming through the ranks. It was an exceptional amount of talent all coming together at the right time which meant that MUFC became successful. We do not have that amount of world class players in our reserves and even if we did MM would not play them - he would just ship them out on loan.
Yes we have some good young players, but Hennessy aside they are not world class potential like the MUFC youth were at the time(perhaps with the exception of Davies).
28, phillips wouldn’t get into our team he just doesnt put a shift in. just scores for fun when he gets the ball.and we all know thats not what muppet mick wants.or he would have given freddy more of a chance.
Lee 51 - very very good mate - really clever.
After reading Vindaloonys piece yesterday I realise that there are still some very clever wolves fans with a cracking sense of humour.
Pity you can’t post more often to dillute the usual garbage.
He is not going to be sacked. We knew it deep down. He must stop being stubborn and get rid of the likes of Neill Collins, Bothroyd, Kyle etc and must revert back to the quality youngsters that we have got. I have heard that Daniel Jones is not happy. Who could blame him?
Spend about £4 or 5 million and get rid of the useless players and we will go up even with MM in charge.
What does concern me is that we are looking at a winger from Barnet. Kites off then!
Lets be honest the ownership and management dont give a stuff about what the fans think. No one wants to accept the blame for the poor season, they just want ‘cardboard cutout’ fans who don’t complain and cheer everything. WHERES THE PASSION !
McCarthy is the man to take wolves to the Prem!
There is only so much a manager can do, once the team are on the pitch it’s up to them!
We need some new signings to strenghten the team and get rid of the rubbish players, then we’ll be in the auto promo spot next season.
Come on the wolves!
McCarthy is the man to take us to the Prem!
We need so new signings to build on the team we’ve got, and get ready on the solo non team rubbish!
If we do we’ll be facing the auto promo spot next season!
Come on the Wolves!
68 I agree with 65. Its obvious you havn’t watched Wolves very long. Last season was total rubbish but for you I suppose it was a great season. At least some of us have memories of when we were a class side.
65, I can assure you I don’t know loads, but at least I did see them win the FA Cup at Wembley. Something that you will wait a long time to see if ever!
In terms of comparing this with the Moxey comments on Hoddle, unfortunately it was Hoddle who decided he couldn’t afford the prospect of no cash to splash and the risk it would do to his own self-deluded reputation (where are you now fat boy?) that resulted in the end of his reign despite Moxey’s best efforts to keep him. Can’t see Mick falling on his sword.
So, we’re stuck with him for another year. Another year of boring wins over the cr*p sides in the division, defensive performances and Mick bemoaning luck when we get constantly outplayed by the better sides.
In the meantime, lets hope that Kites and Henno stay. If either of them leave, then we certainly know the ambition of the club.
“I think Mick has done a great job,” said Moxey.
7th place after “promising” automatic promotion, then the playoffs when it was clear we were too crap to get automatic. Then missing out altogether. Yep, Jez - that’s a great job.
Shame he’s not on performance related pay - we’d have saved an absolute fortune.
Absolutely ridiculous ow can’t you sack the man who got given all that money so wolves could be promoted and he doesn’t even get us in tyhe play offs. Moxey sayin kightly was out fpor 27 games and that damaged the season. How can 1 player destroy your season from being injured?Just shows how rubbish wolves realli are if they rely on players. You do what the baggies did every player is backed that is just as good. The bloke has got 2 go or else it will be another year of failure.I mean look at the defence its rubbish except for craddock and elokobi. Hennesseys class. Midfield is ok except for olifinjana and also no players backed up for kightly or jarvis. Upcfront keogh can’t score elliot rubbish bothroyd rubbish and ebanks - blake class. Wolves need to get rid of all these players I have said to get rid of. They need a massive clearout and sack the manger for some decent players and manager.Its just ridiculous get MM out!!!!!
looks like its no season ticket for me, becuase im not going to watch mccarthy make a mockery out of wolves anymore. hopefully everybody won’t go and morgan will get the point!
McCarthy out!!
11, most sensible post i’ve read. Thick lining paper went over bad plaster last season. Play the kids Mick
oh well if the same muppets are there next season see how much money i will save
PAUL INCE COME HOME
I wait for the day when MM and Moxey leave.
Muppet Moxley and Muppet Mick McCarthy. What a statement to come out with. Mick can now stay for at least 10 games win, or lose. That means if Wolves don’t do well, they get shut of MM and the seasons finished AGAIN ! MM won’t be there so Jez Moxley will have to take the flack for keeping him.
31 that proves you know nothing about football you must have gone to sleep.
85 and 86 you on here together?
My point isn’t that we’ve had a great season and no i’ve not watched them as long as you, been about 20 years. But in that time we’ve only finished higher than this season 6 times. So whilst no 7th isn’t really good enough the way you was highlighting it was if the club was at an all time low. I think you need to put it in proportion.
i hate to be pesimistic but i worry for next season, if mm buys poorly in the summer (or whats perseved as poorly) and we start poorly thw winter will be unbearable and if we sack mm we wil lhave wasted another season along with this summers money, we are desperate for two midfields and two CH’s before we can start proper challenging.
O.K. Idiots let stick with the Mad Man for ever
and see where we are in 30 Years.
“We’re building something we think is quite special…” Laughing like a drain here! You lot surely not going to fall for that are you?
We’re gutted here that you didn’t make the Premiership with us. The rivalry and banter would have been immense!
As an aside, we don’t all hate WWFC. I had so many mates in Wolverhampton area during the great days of the Cats.
The decision has been made so now we must hope it’s the right one.
Immense pressure on the club next year after Morgan’s speech and Mick and Moxey saying they only need one more year. Failure next year and what we will need is a revolution not just a change.
McCarthy has not been made a scapegoat!
- He bought the players
- He coached the players
- He picked the teams
- He dictated the tactics
Nobody else other McCarthy is to blame for this disaster. Judge him at the end of the season.
OK, he is guilty on all charges of bad buys, bad team selection, only one tactic. In addition he has insulted the fans, who are the club in the final count. If nobody attends matches, then Mr Morgan does not own a club.
For God’s sake, McCarthy go now. Any shred of decency and he would have resigned by now!
Am i missing something but wasnt kighlty injured throughout january transfer window, surely any manager should realise an extra winger was needed then, not further forwards! Mick made a mistake not getting a replacement winger for the injured Kighlty and Jarvis and should go!
right thats it i aint getting a new season ticket for next season !! compleat rubish!
thats ok micks not going and neither am i!!!!
i will still be there next season demanding mick to go whatever happens cos i am a nugget.mick is a muppet let the stand off begin
re 103 , compeat should read complete and rubish should read mick and jez.
Moxey says mick has done a good job, where?The players he bought in are now being pushed out so that was good thinking Mick.Freddie is leaving because mick has decided that he does`nt fit in with his team,What team are you on about Mick?What makes you think you can do it this time?I cannot believe that we are going to carry on like last season,boring,no ambition, etc.etc.etc.Thats why I will never go and see a wolves team again as long as JM & mm are in charge.
So the management are not listening to the fans calling for Mick to be sacked. Good,it is not the answer. We need stability not a different manager every two years. We have a very good young squad and today’s news of some of the players not meeting the standard or coming to the end of their careers being released is very positive and shows the club is committed to moving forward. Good luck to Gary Breen who has been a good servant to Wolves. Let’s hope Michael Gray resigns. He has given wolves his all and deserves to be part of the squad next season. I have renewed my season ticket and will be behind the manager and my team through thick and thin willing them on to promotion. The future looks bright, Steve Morgan is no fool and if we all stick together automatic promotion is a realistic target next season. Roll on the new fixture list.
ha ha ha ha ha
Same old same old.
Automatic promotion a realistic target????
Ha ha ha ha ha I cannot take any more.
So why are you using injuries and a non-league player as excuses then.
You leave stoke…they go up!
get on your bike and take mick with you.
you make a perfect marriage…for someone else!
Glory, glory Wolves United!
Hint - they are UNITED! Stay together behind Mick.
