Wolves chief left seething

Wednesday 5th March 2008, 1:50PM GMT.

mikc2.jpgSeething Mick McCarthy was not in the mood for talking after seeing his team throw away the chance to beat ten man Southampton at Molineux.

The Wolves boss chose not to dwell on the display of referee Colin Webster in case he got into trouble and said there were scant positives to take from the 2-2 draw.

He had earlier warned his post-match press conference that he was still too angry to talk about the key incidents in the game – but he made his disappointment at Wolves’ slapdash defending plain.

“To say I’m not pleased is an understatement,” he said.

“We started dreadfully in the game. For some reason we didn’t start as we normally do, trying to put the ball in among the front men and behind them.

“I think we invited pressure and invited them into it which made it a more even game. It was a very scrappy game.

“They’ve got a new manager in and you can see the passion and determination he brings into it. His team have mirrored that and made it difficult to us.

“Sylvan does what he does really well. He took his two chances. Then to have conceded is unforgivable, it really is.”

The manner of the equaliser also irked McCarthy, with the Wolves boss desperately disappointed that they conceded a free header.

And he felt they should have done better in the run up to the goal too – with too many individual errors contributing to the goal.

“I’m not pleased it ended up with a corner.

“In the build up I think we should have competed better for the header from their goalkeeper’s kick, then there was a little scramble from the throw-in and it ended with a corner.

“We’ve just not picked him up from the corner. I know there has been substitutions but everyone has their jobs and we have one more man than they do.”

On the issue of the debated penalty McCarthy resisted the temptation to tear into the ref.

“It wasn’t a penalty. If there was contact then he’s outside the box,” he said.

Those incidents livened up a poor game in which Wolves didn’t register a single shot on goal until just before the hour mark.

And McCarthy didn’t seek to sugar coat either the quality of the contest or his players.

“The game was rubbish – it was awful for an hour,” he added.

“We get our goal and suddenly it all kicks off and explodes with a penalty decision that shouldn’t have been a penalty.

“Then we have a sending off and it’s all very strange. But we should have won the game.”

The draw leaves Wolves four points short of the play-offs, but McCarthy is sticking to his policy of not talking about the league table.

“I’m not going to get wrapped up in it but we should be in a better position – we should have two more points,” he said.

“We’re going to have to try and find them somewhere else now.”

And Wolves defender Kevin Foley admitted the team were “devastated” to see victory snatched from their grasp in the dying seconds.

And Foley – who gave away a disputed penalty to give Saints their equaliser – reckoned the players had tossed away a golden opportunity to claim all three points after a performance that was distinctly below par.

“All the lads were devastated at the end,” Foley said.

“I was very surprised with the penalty decision. When I heard the whistle I thought he was blowing up for a dive or something.

“I just stood my ground and went shoulder to shoulder and even their lad said he couldn’t believe it was a penalty.

“I think the ref’s had a bit of a nightmare there.”

    HOW FOOTBALL MANAGEMENT WORKS
    1. The manager bought the players
    2. He coached them
    3. He picked them
    4. He dictated the tactics
    5. He takes the glory
    6. He takes the blame
    7. He is paid mega-bucks to achieve success
    8. He is expected not to insult the fans

    Blaming the players just is not good enough! There is only one culprit here, he should just stand up like a man and admit his failures. He might get some respect for that.

    Ince fires people up, so I think he’s got managerial quality about him. Just look at Macclesfield, he took over and saved them from the drop. Then took over at the MK Dons, they look on their way up into League 1. He’s already putting together quite a CV.

    I do not want Mick to be sacked…yet. He should at least have until the end of the season to play all his cards, if by then, nothing has been achieved then perhaps Morgan should consider a change. I agree with (9), I think Big Sam would be an ideal choice. But give him longer than Newcastle did.

    Regarding last nights game, why Eastwood is never played from the start is a mystery. He needs the games to get his confidence and form up.

    Someone needs to tell MM that not even a top manager with decades of successful tenure ever earns the right to abuse the fans and call them names. He is not the club, neither are the directors, nor even the nominal owner. We, the fans are the club. We pay his wages and if we were not here there would be no club.

    If his comment was accurately reported it suggests he is an arrogant, insensitive, egotistical man who honestly believes he is god.

    K Kyle – Coventry reserves
    Gibson – identical player to Potter and Henry

    I could go on. I don’t Boo at matches i support the team but do we all expect to do well with no quality being brought. We’d have done better paying all the money spent on these players and buying 2 or 3 quality, experienced players to back up the youngsters and bring them on.

    McCarthy wouldn’t ever stand up and admit his failures, that’s not in his egoistical nature. He has “yes” men around him, but always ends up in the same sorry state. But, somehow he always finds another victim to live of for another few years, before his inadequacies find him out again.

    Do I comehere often?

    In the old days Wolves kept managers for at least 10 years on average. But they were a different breed from what we have seen in the last 20-30 years. They were already club members, not free-loaders looking for the next victim.

    Looking inside the club for the next manager was an old Liverpool approach that they learned from Wolves.

    Why and when did Wolves stop using this approach. The free-loaders, just passing through, take loads of our dosh and don’t do us any good anyway!

    There is an ex-Wolves captain,making a name for himself as a manager. Mr Morgan, he has already publicly stated that he wants to come back as the Wolves manager.

    Paul Ince, one of the greatest footballers and potential managers of our time, is waiting for a phone call from Mr Morgan. Will Morgans’ ambitions extend to turning Wolves into a great Premiership club, or just look at milking his small Championship club investment?

    If I had failed as badly as McCarthy in my job I would expect to get the sack. Somehow, this arrogant twerp continues insulting the fans and blaming the players for his failures, and expects us to want him to continue managing our beloved Wolves.

    Seems to me that the mighty Merlin should get some humility and apologize to the Wolves fans for his arrogant rantings and attempts to spin the pathetic year he has had here. We are not fools, we saw that he didn’t really care and was just putting in time before the move elsewhere to the next mug.

    It was apparent mid-season that something was wrong with the job offers from Ireland and Korea, or somewhere like that. No immediate denial and a half-hearted attempt to cover up whatever was going on. Maybe, one day it may all come out, or there again a secrecy clause in a contract may stop that happening.

    At this time in our grief, can we give some thought to the real victims of this years tragedy. Our academy hopefuls who have had their lives and careers hopelessly messed up by the outgoing manager.

    How can we make it up to them, and regain their confidence in our club?

    I feel that Mr Morgan should ensure that they all get places in the team from now to the end of the season, let them show us what they could have done. The season is lost, so they can’t do any worse, and I think that they might even surprise us all, like they did last season!

    If McCarthy refuses to co-operate, then do whatever is necessary to make it happen.

    We owe it to the academy kids, they are our future!

    Lament the loss of Kites, and you are agreeing with my assertion. Without proper wingers we cannot succeed.

    McCarthy is defence retentive. Past that he does not have a clue. That’s why we don’t score goals.

    Wolves till I die

    Remember that there is unfinished business here. When McCarthy arrived, the first that he did was to pack off Paul Ince. Incey swore to return as the manager of Wolves.

    See the Wikipedia account for Paul Ince. Then stand back and think. What has this legend achieved in his lifetime? He is still achieving as a manager in the lower divisions, and he wants to manage us!

    Stop being small minded people and go for the big-time, in exactly the way the Wolves management in 1949 took the risk and gave Stan Cullis the reins to manage the Wolves.

    At last a chance to rejoin the big-boys. Let’s take it *NOW, get the gaffer in now!

    won’t renew my early bird. no need for approx 20,000 gates next season in the championship again when it will be much tougher with derby, maybe newcastle, qpr will improve etc etc. this season was a golden chance to go up in the top two, play offs minimum not scrambling around like we are now. if i performed in my job like mccarthy i would be sacked; nuff said.

    I see all the Sandwell numpties are out in force. There’s no doubt Wolves fans are fickle but weren’t some of the Albion fans questioning Mowbray when they lost the play off final? The fact is all clubs have supporters that are quick to turn whenever things go wrong. Clubs demand short-term success, a policy that have never proved successful at Molineux during the 14 years that I’ve supported the club. That said, keeping McCarthy on board may not be the answer if we continue to play so poorly. Whatver happens, Morgan has a tough decision regarding Wolverhampton Wanderers’ future. Up the Wolves.

    As an exile – this is the first live game I have seen under MM (except on TV of course) and I was shocked to see how far we have gone backwards from the team that got us up into the Prem . We have a fantastic ground, great support (when they want to be great)but seem to find it difficult to attract quality players ( maybe they dont want to come to Wolverhampton or Jez and Mick are a problem). Only Andy Keogh, Freddie Eastwood, David Edwards and Matt Jarvis (in flashes)impressed – the rest could have been having an off night !! Henry, Olokobi, Kyle and Elliot were woeful !! Thats my honest opinion for what it is worth.

    We can complain about the penalty and the poor marking in the last minute but the main issue here is that the football for most of the match was desperately boring and of very low quality. You make your own luck in this life and at the end of the day Wolves did not deserve more than one point on Tuesday and do not deserve to be any higher up the league.

    “is that the same goal machine that scored a massive 1 against the mighty ten man weds last night.”

    Are you real did your team not squander a goal lead 4 minutes into injury time whilst playing 10 men at home to a team that at the moment is shambolic and probably the most out of form side in the division at the moment.
    Your on another planet, do you not realise what you are setting yourself up for with mindless comments like that.

    Mr Moxey needs to have a word in MM ear.He seems hell bent on driving the wedge between himself and the
    fans.As a season ticket holder for many years,i do not remember enjoying a game this season.I also think
    EASTWOOD should be playing on a regular basis or sell him on

    I will not be an early bird or a late bird I have seen enough crap this year to put me off for good,
    TSH for 20 years, missed 2 away games this year, can not take no more,the club have gone back 10 years.
    No one seems to know what to do, the club seems to be more interested in what they can do or say to upset the supporters, never Boo but cant blame the people who do, we are paying good money to watch crap.
    Surely Sky would not want to put us on TV anymore, can you Image what other teams and Managers think,
    of us, and please forget playoffs,big Clubs Like Hull, Stoke, Bristol, Plymouth, Ipswich,
    will be there. Plymouth showed the Way Putting 4 past Colchester.
