Wolves owner backs McCarthy
Tuesday 15th January 2008, 11:29AM GMT.
Wolves are refusing to budge in their backing for manager Mick McCarthy as he grapples with his biggest crisis since coming to Molineux.
McCarthy’s team slumped to a 3-0 home defeat by Crystal Palace which extended his side’s winless Championship sequence to eight games and once more brought a hostile atmosphere back to the club’s home venue.
But chief executive Jez Moxey continues to counsel patience in his resistance to the “hiring and firing” culture of the 1990s and owner Steve Morgan left on an overseas trip refusing to turn the slump in form into a media firestorm.
The wealthy business magnate, who has gone to Uganda on a Channel 4 TV project linked to his recent appearance in the Millionaire’s Mission series, is sticking to his vow to keep a low profile and avoid feeding the game’s rampant speculation culture.
But in his most recent interview for a business magazine, Morgan re-affirmed his opposition to the trigger-finger culture of previous eras.
He said: “Wolves have had a chequered last decade in regards to managers – I want to stop that.
“I don’t think you can get anywhere by hiring and firing – you have to work together as a team.”

But in his most recent interview for a business magazine, Morgan re-affirmed his opposition to the trigger-finger culture of previous eras.
He said: “Wolves have had a chequered last decade in regards to managers – I want to stop that.
“I don’t think you can get anywhere by hiring and firing – you have to work together as a team.
“Going back to my business days at Redrow – my top people were with me for years and we trusted each other. That’s the way of successful business – football is no different.”
Sources at Molineux confirm that philosophy is still the driving force at the club, with Moxey a major figure of support for McCarthy, even as the Wolves boss faces up
to growing criticism of his team’s faltering campaign. Since starting December with a 1-0 victory over Preston which took them third, three points off the top, Wolves have plunged nine places.
Last week the club were forced to respond to tabloid claims that Morgan was lining up old Liverpool contacts Sammy Lee or Paul Ince
to replace McCarthy, reports dismissed by Moxey as “wholly inaccurate”.
But chants in support of Ince, who established a popular bond with Wolves fans during his four-year stay, were heard during the height of McCarthy’s discomfort on Saturday.

well said steve why dont we just get behind mick n jus stop being so sad to him. Just look at the crisis newcastle are in ,lets get behind mick and then we will storm up that league c’mon wolves

if he doesnt want to keep chopping manager how about getting rid of thick mick and getting in his OWN bloke, then he can do that.
2 managers out their for me in our current affairs
both ambitious to try lure here but
1. sam allardyce
2. jean tigana
yes remember that currently unemployed fulham boss who took over when they was in the old division 2
spends majority of his money wisely in this league in buying saha, fernandes
and that fulham team is probably the best team to go up through our league apart from maybe kevin keegans mancity

He’s a money man and MM’s on a 12 month rolling contract so come the summer they can say goodbye to him for free.
Depending on the style of play you want to see big Sam could be the answer, he’s local, he’s gold and black so theoretically passion would be in abundance and failure would be a word that’s banned. Tigana could also be a good call and I think some people may think I’ve lost it as much as MM but what about Billy Davis?

i have been very critical of late as have many fans, but if the board are gonna back this manager of ours well i suppose its time for us to back him and get behind the team,i know for many fans this is going to be hard after the dross footy we have been served up this season but after all our season is slipping away and a couple more defeats we will be heading futhur towards that trap door to league one.
ps moxey/morgan /mccarthy,
after all the talk of us needing a left back, surely we also need to try and buy a new decent quick centre half,and a centre midfielder who can run with the ball rather than go sideways and backwards.having said that a fit mark davies is better than potter,gibson and henry,so hurry up mark get fit your club needs you.

It is no great surprise for me to feel utterly depressed at the sight of MM, his continued excuses are shameful. How on earth he can state after each dull draw or defeat, it’s not through a lack of trying, i don’t know. I have really lost faith, big time. And as for all of the ‘loyal’ MM lovers, i cannot abide his stupid arrogant post match comments anymore, he is a joke, a rich joke, who should make way for someone with a more sophisticated football mind. Feel free to go to the Molineux and cheer for MM, i promise you , soon enough you will be the only one cheering…:-(

I am sorry Steve Morgan but in this instance YOU ARE WRONG! McCarthy is clueless, stubborn and continues to play his favourite players to the detriment of reserve players who surely could do a similar job if not better while also playing players out of their preferred positions which creates disharmony and total confusion.
The booing and frustration results from all of these things!
If what you are saying about not changing personnel is how you have become so successful in business then I AM TOTALLY AMAZED!
If you have not yet realised then what is very likely to happen very soon, maybe against Sheffield Wednesday, is that the gates for home games will drop dramatically and income will be exceeded by outgoings, now that IS a good way to run a business!
As long as McCarthy stays as manager, this club will have little support, the ground will be empty except for away supporters and no doubt the end of the season will see the proud name of Wolverhampton Wanderers FC in League 1 for the 2008/2009 season! Sir Jack will have nightmares!
Steve, enjoy your time in Africa, maybe they have a team or 2 you could invest in there and if so, take McCarthy to manage them, we won’t miss him!

I like Mick McCarthy and he did a brilliant job last season. However, for someone who parts with hard earned cash home and away, he must start getting back on the winning trail – starting at Scunthorpe.
No more excuses, about the scoreline being unjust. Play people in their right positions and stop playing your favourites!
This should be the team for Saturday, sparse at the back as we have stupidly loaned out our youngsters:-

I can’t believe some people on here saying we will get relegated!! I admit we are playing a load of crap this season but at 1 point of the season we were picking up results.
MM has to buy a central midfielder asap or give davies, gleeson, rosa a chance. I get very frustrated with mick as everyone sez on here that he has his favourites which he clearly does i.e bothroyd, seyi who in my opinion are extremely overated
Maybe mick if you were not so bloody stubborn and dropped some of the so called big names and give some of the kids a chance then the fans would see that at least youre trying something new and not sticking to the same ols week in week out.
Mr morgan give him until the end of the season because if we sack him now it will dent the teams confidence and then their will be no chance at all of the playoffs.
Also can I add one more thing I have had a season ticket for 15 tears and I missed 1 payment due to delayed wages and they tried to take me out my seat and take my season ticket away!! I tell you what loyalty doesn’t get rewarded ot the fans and then youv’e got prats like Jez moxey thinking he knows football!! get rid of the idiot and show some understanding to the fans who have turned up in their thousands week in week out before you got here Jez

Morley Wolf (5), JOn Porter (8) and rowley,wolves (12) are the only people on the ball in this thread. This story is old, probably five or six weeks, possibly from November. As rowley,wolves says, “a hell of a lot has changed since then.” That makes it irrelevant now.
Still, this is an important article because it reminds us that Steve Morgan calls the shots, not us. My personal opinion is that Mick McCarthy should have been sacked a couple of weeks ago. But I’ve made up my mind.
If Morgan gives McCarthy this second chance, I will get behind him and hopes he takes it. If Morgan sacks McCarthy, virtually writing off this season, then I will get behind the new gaffer to try to build momentum for next season.
Let’s face it, Morgan is in a difficult situation because of the suddenness and the unexpectedness of the decline. What he will do, we don’t know. This news is too old to matter.

How many people remember Man Utd in 1990. Ferguson cited a game against Nottingham Forest as the game which kept him his job. 1 goel from Mark Robins is all it took to keep them up, make fergies job safe and win the FA cup. Fast forward 20+ years and look at them.
Everyone know it takes time to build a team that will not only win promotion but stay in the premier league. All you people shout out calling for MM head think of this. Wolves could well get promoted with this team but will then come straight back down again a la Watford, WBA, Derby, Sunderland and countless others. Wolves have the best team they have had in many years but these things take time. For god sake, get of MM back, start backing the players and stop trying to turn us into another Newcastle.

Suddeness of decline!? It started at half time against Watford in the first match of the season.
All this “wait until the end of the season” stuff is total rubbish!
As I’ve said repeatedly, both SM and MM said at the beginning of the season that the aim was “top 2″ and automatic promotion. That becomes the objective and you measure against that.
Yes, of course, loads of teams want automatic promotion and only 2 can have it but most are based on unrealistic hope!
We started the season with a base of 5th, £4m worth of new players and a squad high on confidence, ability and hunger.
Since then, apart from Henessey, there hasn’t been a single inch of progress towards the objective and in terms of play and confidence we’ve gone spectacularly backwards.
“Hire and fire” is not a great way to run a business but neither is sticking your head in the sand and ignoring the stunningly obvious! MM has no record of turning round a downward spiral…he just gets more powerless and comes out with pitiful post-match comments.
I’d love ten year stability at Molineux under a Moyes or similar but that is not a reason not to sack a manager after 18 months when he has patently got it wrong and shows absolutely no sign of knowing how to get it right!

You will not be playing League One football next season Latvia, thats just defeatist and alarmist talk.
You are good enough to get to the play offs all it will take is a couple of decent results and you are away. Its so tight at the moment I fully expect the top to chop and change . Some teams will experience a dip in form and others will have a change in fortune and string a few results together.Their will be a lot of jockeying for positions over the coming months.
So don’t give up changing the mangager does’nt always provide the answer Although to be fair we were glad to see Robbo go , but MM is a better manager than he is and with a far greater pedigree. Although to be fair to Robbo he did get Philips in
Hope things turn round for you on Saturday

If we are keeping MM then lets spend money wisely. For instance, the millions we have spent on mediocre strikers could have been better spent trying to buy 2 quality ones. I don’t want to judge the new striker on this performance Saturday, but he looks 2 stone overweight and no better that the strikers already here. MM, please don’t tell us that driving up the motorway twice in a week has tired him out. It’s just as well he doesn’t have to work for a living! The problem has always been at Wolves that we buy players who are no better than what we already have. If we are going to progress, this habit must be broken.

Blame the players??? Not their fault – they are low on confidence and many of them just not good enough at this level.
Mick allegedly coaches and selects the players – the buck stops with him.
If it’s not him doing the coaching then he should select a better coach – again this is his responsibility.
If strikers aren’t scoring then he needs to find the right combination although he hasn’t given any of them a decent run in the team to find a bit of form… different pair most weeks.
And whose fault is it that we don’t have a creative midfield and are playing too many poor players out of position???
Is that the players fault too or is that up to McCarthy? I think you know the answer.

Wolves fans do get behind the team and manager, look at last season losing 6-0 against Southampton at home, they were cheered off.
What the wolves supporters want are good consistent performances, it doesn’t matter if we loose if we have seen a good game. This season Mick McCarthy has been playing players out of position just like Glen Hoddle and the lack of goals has been a constant problem last season as well as this. Not enough creative players, still wonder why we let Michael McIndoe go to Bristol City. I don’t think we will get to the Premiership with Mick McCarthy as manager, I think we will struggle against Scuthorpe on Saturday.
It is a shame that we did not get Gary Johnson as manager instead of Glen Hoddle as Don Goodman suggested in an article before we took on Hoddle.
This is a results business and Wolves need a manager who can deliver.

Steve Morgan under normal circumstances loyalty has to be praised but I certainly feel that this backing of MM will eventually come back to haunt you!
ALL of us fully appreciate what MM did for us last season when we clearly over achieved in reaching the play-offs but despite all of the money spent in the last 12 months we still have no cure for the problem of not being able to score goals.
This problem was a constant thorn in our side last season when you only have to look at our goal difference.
Since Jan 2007 MM has signed Keogh, Ward, Eastwood, Elliott, and now Ebanks-Blake (too early to judge) but still the problem exists, which clearly shows that the problem is not the strikers i.e. it is the service, or more pertinently lack of service they get – this point is obvious to all of us loyal supporters but MM does not see it.
Surely you cannot let things go on like this for too much longer!!!!!

Looks like Andy Keogh is getting on the band wagon too:
“People might think it was a positive thing towards me because they didn’t want me to go off, but it’s not, it’s a negative thing towards the club,” he said. “We don’t need to hear that at the Molineux. It’s our stadium and we don’t need to hear boos, we need to hear cheers.
(Wrong Andy, it’s our stadium, we were there long before you arrived and we’ll be there long after you’ve hung your boots up).
“They can boo the referee and they can boo the other team, but not boo anything to do with us.
“I was coming off because I’d had a bad dose of flu for the last 10 days and I couldn’t breathe properly.”
He added: “They’ve got to respect all the players and we’ll respect all the fans, like we do.”
(Respect us by playing good football and we might show you what we can really do as good fans).
Personally I’m sick of the players now coming out and having a go at the fans. We don’t pick the team or go out and give a half arsed performance week in week out.
All that will happen is they’ll be playing to the groundsmen and the club will wither again. The good will gesture has to come from the club, not the fans.
We owe them nothing.

Glad Mr Morgan has said that, we chose MM now we must stick with him, perhaps the boo boys will shut up now. First problem and some of the supporters act stupid, anyone booing at the mol at there own team in future should be lined up and shot.

Work with Mick help him through this rough patch, the booing is having a really bad effect on the players confidence, its not helping anyone. Personally l feel booers at the Mol should be hung drawn and quartered. UP MICK UP THE WOLVES>

Albion Wizards thanks for your comment but how can you say that Muppet Mick is a better manager than Bryan Robson? im my opinion Robbo was a far better player and IS a far better manager but as I say that is only my humble opinion.As for not playing Div 1 football next season, another couple of bad results and we will be right in the relegation mix and that is the gospel, we may be fickle but that fickleness only comes out because we are passionate about our club as no doubt you are about the albion so maybe if your club were in the same posistion now as we are you mean to tell me your fans wouldn,t be showing their disaproval?? I wish you well in your quest for promotion as I have no doubt that you will achieve it this season with the squad you have and I know other Wolves fans will have a go at me for saying this but when you come to the Mol I fully expect our team to get a drubbing that is unless Muppet Mick and Moxey are gone.

But I will put those feelings aside now in the best interests of the club and take a view at the end of the season.

We need a manager who wont create a war with the fans.
Andy K, we seriously rate you, but there is a bit more to it than your one substitution. We dont like being spoken to like we dont have freedom of speach out our club.
Mick Man, its time to go you are creating a nightmare here.

I think the fundamental difference between this season and last season is the fear factor has gone. Teams are no longer afraid of Molineux. Just an opinion though

Once upon a time
You drank a few bottles of wine

And now just like a cat
On a hot tin roof
You,re living in cloud cuckoo land
And putting your boring post,s on here
For everyone to see

Bog Off Bog Off Bog Off
You,re a boring muppet matey
And we don,t want you around, around

Bernie, if you were at the last match, there were quite a few booing. Everyone is entitled to their opinion and if you think Mick is the man, you may be in a minority.
Report abuse
Well of course you want to back your manager who wants to keep moaning cos i certainly dont but when deciscions on team selection arise can we really trust mick anymore only time will tell.

If MM Goes. Kights Will Go I Rekon. Kightly Has Loads Of Respect For The Manager And Never Could Speak Highlier Of Him. So If MM Goes, Half Our Team Will + Thats Not What We Want. Give Him Time. Every Team Has A Bad Run. Ours Will Soon Come To An End.
Get Craddock and Kightly back and we’ll be well away. Okay we shouldnt just be a 1man/2 man team but to be honest we are. we need to sort ourselves out and start winning again and show this division what we can achieve !!
UP THE WOLVES.

i agree everyone is entitled to their opinion , but when it affects our team , which it is doing , they look scared to make a mistake , i think we should encourage not boo , im not happy at the moment but booing is not helping cnat u see that , last saturday i was there and i think it was a disgrace how they treated jay , if i were him i would b looking for a new club this week !

Why will Kightly go if MM goes? He’s contracted to the club and the new manager may well be even better for him that McCarthy.
I do hate it when people make rash, fear-mongering remarks.

I’m not happy with team selection at present and am as frustrated as any Wolves fan but we are being made a laughing stock by the booers in the main. We all have our prejudices with regards to players and, yes, the main problem is playing lads out of position. The squad is good enough although I have always been of the opinion that the back four needed a couple of speedy, class defenders. Booing Ward, a hard working 100%er just because he is out of his depth in where he is being asked to play is needlessly cruel and counterproductive. These booers must think such behaviour achieves something I suppose. It couldn’t possibly be because they are badly brought up, envious morons. I don’t want Ward on the wing but wouldn’t stoop so low as to cowardly boo him to destroy his confidence.

Im against the booing an think we should stick with Mick but I do hope 89 that Bothroyd is looking for another club :)

If this goes on for much longer there will be gate of 15,000 at Wolves. I here there were fights on the South Bank on Saturday. This will only get worse. This is the worst football I have seen at Wolves for years.
MM has to go and it has nothing to do with changing for the sake of it.
Do we keep him if at the end of the season we end in the bottom half with the lowest goals scored even though he has had money to spend. I don’t think so.
I have nothing against MM but there is a MASSIVE problem at Wolves and I can’t believe that all Wolves fans can’t see it.
There is no reason why we have to put up with this rubbish week in week out.
Oh and by the way-well done Mick for possibly ending Kights season by making him play against Cambridge to save your job-nice one.
I am a long-term season ticket holder but I DERIVE NO PLEASURE IN WATCHING wOLVES AT PRESENT.
Bothroyd, Wards, Potter, Collins, Elliot, Mulgrew, Henry, Breen-all crap. Get the kids in, get rid of Moxey and MMand give Ince a chance.
He is someone I would trust to build Wolves into a quality long-term Prem outfit

The Board’s decision to stick with MM will solve one problem. They wont have to worry about increasing the size of Molineux. It will only be half full next season. Come back Uncle Jack and sort this mess out.

bernie are you Mick McCarthy?

bernie, today I sent an e-mail to Rose Walley, Moxeys p.a. who passed it down the line to Karen Salt I asked 10 simple questions and do you know the reply I got back? Mr Moxey is a very busy man and as we are in the middle of the transfer window is dealing with other things: not 1 simple answer to 10 simple questions, so now we know how things work at our beloved Wolves, EVERYONE PASSES THE BUCK!!! down to the lowest minions who work there, I personally gaurantee you that if we lose to Scunthorpe on saturday McCarthys lame excuse for this week will be, we had to travel all the way to Scunthorpe and the lads were tired of travelling on the motorway and next home game will be well the stewards are to blame
Nuff Said!!!

Finally youve all heard it from the horses mouth…Mick is not going anywhere full stop.
So hopefully the boo boys can now stop the speculation, save their breath, stop the booing, stop the whingeing and stop trying to hound mick out of the club.
Hopefully now, the fickle crew will channel their enthusiasm and energy into actually supporting the players and staff at our great club. Sad but true, some of you really do only sing when youre winning. You should try it, surprisingly it doesnt half help a team.
If you really cant support them through thick and THIN the wolves would be better off if you didnt go to the molineux.
Id rather see 15000 real fans supporting at the mol.
Even with the lost revenue the team will be better off.
To the “ive paid my money so im entitled to boo” brigade, just simply dont pay and dont go.
Therell be a better atmosphere allround and the boys can get on with the job of playing football in front of “supporters” that actually deserve to watch good football and hopefully premiership football in the future.
Are you newcastle in disguise ?
ps…and yes, im not happy with recent results either, i too pay out my hard earned money to watch the boys. We are where we are, reality check, we are not a massive club…but we are wolves, WE ARE WOLVES !
Rome wasnt built in a day etc, the club is set up for the future and the long term with young lads in the main giving their all.
Try and look at the bigger picture and get real.

Let’s have our thoughts known by acting with our feet. A sudden drop in attendance will surely make the management do someting. Crowds will probably drop anyway – who want to pay for being tortured for a couple of hours and have their weekend ruined?

Im indecisive on McCarthy. Last year he did a great job and we probably overachieved. Im as guilty as the next fan to jump on the “We’re crap” bandwagon, but sometimes you have to accept that every club has a slump. 9 games without a win is unacceptable, i nobody really knows whats changed so dramatically to cause this form. We can’t score goals, thats the main problem. Bothroyd is not creative enough on a consistant level, and elliot, keogh and eastwood need regular games with eachother to see what really fits. Ebanks-blake is a good buy. But regardless of how good our strike force could be with the right partnership….. we need a team (without just kightlys input) that can create goalscoring oppurtunities?? Remember the late eighties/early nineties???? The creativity of Robbie Dennison??? This is the type of attacking player we need to provide the strikers with the firepower thay need.. McCarthy needs a kick up the ass to drop his favourites….. a sacking would be harsh at this point!!!!

Why wouldn’t Morgan back MM! It allows him to keep most of his $$ in his pocket. A good qualified manager would have gotten into his pockets by now and gotten us good players to start the season not give us the run around of “we are building for the future”.
It’s all rubbish and the only real credible thought pattern must be directed at where we are in the league, 10 points of being relegated, three games and a bit! How can this even possibly be seen as “Premiership Bound”. We were higher up last season!
We are going the wrong way…

Last season MM got Wolves into the play offs and all Wolves supports thought here we go………….this season again Wolves are favourites to be in the play offs …………..yet Wolves are struggling to score goals and that is why Wolves are now in the middle of the pack.
As for the booing of players and of MM and the calls for MM to be sacked is out of order.
It will do Wolves no good sacking managers every season, it takes time for the manager and players to gel as a unit. Last season was pure luck that Wolves got to the play offs in the first place.
Wolves supports should let MM and his team go about forming a squad of players that will in the end be knocking on the door to premier football. If this takes a couple of seasons so be it.
Wolves have to earn the right for Premier league Footy, it’s not our god give right that we should in the premier league.
Just my thoughts
