We know Mick McCarthy’s view. We know Jez Moxey’s, writes Express & Star Chief Sports Writer Martin Swain.

We know, too, the views of an assortment of Premier League managers from Tony Pulis in one corner to Arsene Wenger in another. We know what the FA think. We know where the pundits stand. And the thoughts of supporters filled columns of this newspaper last week.

But the silence of perhaps the key voice in the whole McCarthy-gate episode is deafening.

Yesterday’s gathering of the gold and black clan gave owner and chairman Steve Morgan the opportunity to address directly the events at Old Trafford last Tuesday and perhaps square himself alongside McCarthy, the position he has adopted throughout his stewardship during other moments of difficulty for the manager.

But nothing. Nothing in the build up to the game and nothing in the most obvious forms of official communication to supporters via the club’s website or yesterday’s matchday programme for the Burnley game.

And this would fit the signals being picked up in the press box yesterday that for the first time McCarthy has seriously angered his gaffer who, while anticipating changes for that Manchester United game, was shocked by the scale of them.

Requests for a word from Morgan in reaction to the controversy which engulfed the club last week were gently batted back by Molineux and now come “whispers” that manager and chairman have not spoken since the United game.

It was difficult, too, not to conclude that the only story in the Sunday tabloids hinting at Morgan’s dissatisfaction with his manager’s decision carried the by-line of the one reporter known to have a previously strong relationship with Morgan fostered during his abortive struggle for power at Liverpool.

Yesterday’s success against Burnley will have reclaimed some ground for McCarthy but it was desperately needed – especially with Fulham reminding the football world on Saturday that the champions, beset by defensive difficulties, might not be quite so imposing at this moment as they have been in the past.

With exquisite timing, Wolves make the trip to Anfield next, a day of high personal significance for Morgan. He has proudly proclaimed his devotion to Wolves since walking away from his bid for power at Liverpool five years ago this month and returns in charge of a re-energized Molineux club.

In contrast, his boyhood heroes are stuck with American owners who have saddled the club with huge debts, failed to deliver on the promise of a new stadium and are largely despised and mistrusted by supporters.

He knows his adopted club cannot guarantee victory and will be odds on favourites to lose despite Liverpool’s form struggle. But McCarthy knows his boss will relish a full-throttle performance that challenges the frail confidence of his boyhood heroes.

Despite the home clash with under-new-management Manchester City following 48 hours later, I think Wolves fans can head for Anfield confident there will be no shadow squad on duty for this one.
