Mick McCarthy not worrying about his job
Wednesday 29th December 2010, 11:30AM GMT.
Mick McCarthy believes owner Steve Morgan will stand by him as the voices of discontent over Wolves’ plight begin to rise around Molineux.
McCarthy is in desperate need of fresh evidence that he can secure the club’s Premier League place for a second season running — starting with tonight’s demanding clash at a reviving Liverpool.
Wolves are closing 2010 with only four wins so far this season in a campaign from which Morgan hoped for much more as he unveiled plans for Molineux’s £40m development — and a schedule for work which will be heavily influenced by club staying in the top flight.
That performance has inevitably triggered questions about whether McCarthy can survive even allowing for the strength of his relationship with Morgan and chief executive Jez Moxey.
But the Wolves manager says he has no reason to doubt their continued faith and backing — and he is not fretting over outside whispers about his job security.
“It’s always the same — it comes from the outside and I don’t worry about that at all,” he said. “I have a great relationship with the people at the club and enjoy a huge amount of faith and trust in me just as I have in them.
“Nobody is happy with the position that we’re in. But I don’t think I need to worry about that (his future). All I am concerned about is Liverpool — that’s it. I don’t waste time reflecting on things over which you have no control.”
After the abrupt sackings of Chris Hughton at Newcastle and Sam Allardyce at Blackburn, the policy Wolves hierarchy have adopted in sticking by McCarthy has been warmly greeted and admired in Premier League circles.
The manager himself enjoys widespread popularity among his peers but McCarthy says he is not interested in sentiment.
“I appreciate the goodwill, I appreciate the fact that maybe the people here will continue to look at what has happened in the last four years here,” he said.
“But I’m not interested in anyone sugar-coating the situation for me. We’re bottom of the table and we played badly on Sunday. That’s all I am interested in and how we are going to change it. Sentiment means nothing to me.”
With Wolves getting ready to back their manager in the January transfer market, all the signs are that the key figures of Morgan and Moxey remain determined to stand shoulder to shoulder with their manager.

He’s not still in a job? God help us.
Mick Mcarthy has done a splendid job for us however it is now time to move on and get some fresh ideas into the club. It is painfully obvious to us mere mortals that he has gone as far as he can take this club.
ON YER BIKE PLEASE!

may as well get behind him

Thanks Mick, for all you have done, but this league is a step too far for you, the club will never move on with you in charge. This league is a little bit more than hard work and putting a shift in, we should have moved on this season, but are stuck in reverse.
Lets give Big Sam a chace, while there is still time, defeat at West Ham, will give us a mountain to climb, I hope it does not happen, but the omens do not look good !

Time is up for you mick, you arent capable at this level.
stearman, berra, ward, elokobi, edwards. All players you have signed and persist on playing that arent good enough at this level.
You have to be held accountable for tour baffling tactics, players played out of position and your inability to pick the best side aavailable to you.
I dont blame the players i mentioned, you ask them to do a job and they try their best, i dont question their desire and commitment. Howecer its so obvious to me that they arent good enough and the blame for our plight has to lie with you and you only.
Walk away now and be proud of the job you did for us and the effort you put into it. You have hit a wall now mick and i will be amazed if you manage to get us out of it.
BIG SAM PLEASE!

“he is not fretting over outside whispers about his job security.” lose against liverpool and westham and those whispers will be alot louder.
i dont think morgan needs to worry about expanding the ground because if mick is still in charge if we go down i think he will only use 20,000 seats.if mick is trying to wind the fans up i think this article will do the job
Report abuse
These stories seem to be just designed to wind up the moaners on here. When asked ‘do you fear for your job – especially in the light of the (ridiculous) sackings of Hughton and Allardyce?’ what response would you expect – maybe ‘I know we are struggling but I am lucky to have the support of a board who have some sense of perspective – until I lose that backing I will concentrate on trying to get as many points as possible’.
Still that won’t stop a stream of ‘Just go you Muppet’ posts.

Mick, you have major shortcomings at this level, clearly evident by the inability of the team to keep clean sheets. You now revert to playing 4 full backs each game, Zubar, Foley, Ward and Elokobi – neither Ward or Elokobi would make it into any other premiership squad they are that poor, but your inability to sign a left back is incredible – every team we play targets that side of our team, which makes the centre backs cover and leaevs us open every time.
We need at least 5 first team players in January, not squad players, then we may have a chance of beating relegation, unfortunately Mick, I don’t think you can identify this and will stick with ‘lovely lads’ who ‘put in a shift’

Morgan and Moxey, we go down, you are to blame. Look at Micks whole record in the Premiership. Says it all. On your heads be it.

I actually think this is a disgraceful article!

One very sad and disappointed fan
Report abuse
well he should be because he is useless at this level and this is born out by his prem record. When some fans say that we should stick with him because he is our best manager since the 70′s or even Cullis what does that tell you? That we have consistently employed the wrong man. For God’s sake we have the chance to get a really good prem manager in with connections with Wolves – Big Sam Allardyce (he used to stand on the North Bank). Need to act now and get him in before some other club that is actaully ran by by a owner with a smidgeon of ambition makes an easy call and employs a man capable of taking a club forward. Thanks for everything Mick but please resign and let someone with ability and modern methods have a go.

Mick is clearly not worrying about his job as much as I would like. How he can say its only about errors [stearman] at the back I don’t know. Was he at the same match as me? Yes if we had got the pen, Yes if their goalkeeper had not put his leg out. But Mick prem record shows he is not up to the standard we need to stay in the prem. I saw a wide when attacking and narrow Wigan who had movement all through the game. I saw Wolves always playing the high ball from the back, from corners, from crosses onto nobody’s head. This may work in the lower divisions but it will not work in more than 2 out 10 prem games. And also why did he take George off and replace him with Ward. Ward may be a better left back than George but what would that change do for George. Also by playing Ward when our £7m man is sitting on the side lines. What does this say. Mick you are doing things that would just not happen in any other prem team. Its time for change. Please Mr Morgan sort it out now?
Report abuse
Its wise to stick with Mick. Any change now and we would definitely be relegated. Let’s just hope the players are thoroughly ashamed of their performance against Wigan and step up a gear. And this time forget the loyalty to the ‘triers’ and pick the best players.

This article is more for morale boosting. Everyone is feeling the effects of being bottom of the PL and everyone is in need of a lift. The aim of this piece of media is that the strong faith between the 3 M’s will rub some life into the players who are probably doubting themselves a bit at the moment.
Let the management team get on with their job

I posted earlier and will re-state my beliefs:
1. If this was Liverpool, Morgan would have sacked Mick by now. Instead, this is a commercial venture for Morgan and he is more concerned about making a profit on building new stadium and hotels. I’m afraid on the football front, his passion is clearly with Liverpool FC.
2. Moxey is so obsessed , perha$ps quite rightly, with balancing the books that we have no chance of any sort of ambition with him at the helm. The fact the £90,000 a week Lescott is a no no sum’s him up. On loan, for 5 months. equates to £1.8 million. What’s wrong with that ??? you tell me.
Mad Mick will take us down and he’ll be in charge next year. Ward will still play for us as will Henry , Foley, Stearman, Berra and we can welcome back Keogh for next year. All of these are at best, championship players and that suits the ambitions of the club under the 3 M’s nicely.
If you, like me, have had enough, don’t do your early birds. The only way they will get the message is in their pockets.
Next year we’ll net £20 odd million from sales of our best players plus the same again from the parachute payment.
I’m sure that Moxey and Morgan will be more than happy with that. Neither have any particular allegiance to this great club of ours and would be more than happy I’m sure, to walk away whenever it suits them.
Sadly, it’s only us fans that stick with them, through thick and thin.

If Mick is not worried about his job he damn well should be. We are reaping the rewards of his disastrous forays in the transfer market where he is totally incompetent.

Mick is his own worst enemy. The lads done well to beat Blues but when players such as Jarvis, Fletcher and Jones are available you do not play Ward, Edwards and Elokobi. What summed it up is when he took off Elokobi and Ward went from a striker to left back! Hehnnessey is still thge same and makes me nervous everytime the ball comes into our box, we need a new keeper desperately. Hopefully Henry, Mancienne, Doyle and Craddock will be back for West Ham

Well Mick if your really not worried about your job then it proves just how arrogant and thick you are to add to being totally inept at this level and anybody that actually believes he can keep us up needs to wake up and smell the coffee-we need to go from playing like a bottom team to a top 10 team to stay up at present and with the run of games coming up that will soon need to be like a top 6 team probably!
As for the rest of the prem admiring us for sticking with him,of course they do because they all want 3 easy points.
I cannot believe Morgan will continue to stick with him unless by some miracle things change and i genuinly believe we could be a much better side with a few additions and a bit of tweaking with the side we have if we had a different manager-and there are at least 3 currently out of work.
For all you out there that agree i have sent an e-mail to the club for S. Morgans attention and as much as i don’t expect a reply or on my own to achieve anything maybe if they were inundated with them maybe they might just understand the feelings and possible consequences of doing nothing as i for one will not renew my season ticket if MM remains as manager.

Pathetic, results speak for themselves and Muppet is well out of his depth at this level AND he continues to make Wolves the laughing stock of the Prem. He may be a character and liked by peers and the media BUT that does not make him a good manager. He will continue in his OWN SPECIAL way and we will sink closer to the Championship. Blackpool have shown what a decent mamger can do with limited funds, Muppet wastes the money and sticks with the Championship faves (usually out of position), fine if we win BUT IT AINT WORKING!!As for Mox and morg they clearly have another agend and don’t give a monkey how we perform and how the fans feel….another lost opportunity beckons as do the lower leagues. Thanks Mick, Mox and Morgan GREAT JOB!!!

We’ll lose heavily tonight, I fear, and then West Ham saturday is another “must win” game.
If we lose at the Hammers, he should be shown the door, because the fixtures throughout January are awful and a change is needed, both on and off the pitch.
I think comments about Robbie Keane, if signed, would not be guaranteed first team starts shows the lack of vision and desire

I dont think Steve Morgan is to bothered about relegation, his main interest is ‘the rebuild of the stadium’. As Jez said live on the radio the cost of materials/bricks are the right price at the moment for us to rebuild. So whether fans renew or not is of little interest, as the capacity we be cut to around 21,000, they’ve said some supporters will lose their seats, for a year or two. So perhaps Morgan’s thinking is during the rebuild MM will get the team promoted again? GOOD LUCK TONIGHT LADS: UTW:

its alright them saying stick with our manager but all us fans want to see points on the board and staying up not what we have seen so far also we are midway and looking down not up why should other clubs get rid of there mangers when there well up the league and not us i dont think us fans will stand for it much longer he should be given a time scale and if he gets no points this week with these two games he should definitely go and leave us to try and stop up with a new manager otherwise we will go down and he will still be here leaving us more years in the championship there a two managers out there who would be worth a go chris hugton and sam allardyce who would try to keep us up this season. no more seats we dont need them at the moment leave it for future dont waste money were not going anywhere from lifetime fan please keep the wolves up

I would like Chris Hughton in. A football gentleman who likes his sides to play and is pretty shrewd in the transfer market and I feel he is our best chance of survival.
If the worst happened and we were relegated we would lose Doyle and possibly Jarvis to big money. If we kept the rest of the squad and added one or two we would win the Championship and come back stronger with him at the helm.
In January I think we need to go and get at least 3 of the following:
Richard Dunne
David Wheater
Armand Traore
Adam Hamill
Shay Given (loan)
Robbie Keane
Matt Mills
Shane Long

Of course we need to get behind him. You can’t push someone out from the front!
Really I am gobsmacked he never went weeks ago. Each time we scratch an unlikley win it seems to win him a reprieve.

When Steve Morgan took over this club I was so pleased, I believed his lies about how he wanted to make wolves into a big force like his beloved Liverpool ( how fooled I was ) .. How can he not sack a manager who has took us the bottom of the league? And out of 97 prem games has won 16!
what a mickey mouse club I follow. After 23 years of being a season ticket holder even if we stay in prem ( which we won’t ) should mcclueless still be on charge, you won’t get another penny out of me !
Out of all the things mcclueless does the one that gets to me most is not giving fletcher a chance, the man is a natural goalscorer, got 12 goals last year in a very poor side, manager like Owen coyle rate him highly, and what does Mick do with him – play ward instead!

Leave Mick alone he has fair enough bought flops but the board weren’t going sanction any big buys on big wages. If your always buying cheap second hand crap then you have to buy twice or it ain’t up to the job.

I agree, I’m afraid, with Tamworthwolf and Laughingwolf.We urgently need some experience and stability at the back, and particularly in midfiled. Mick persists in playing people like Stearman,Elokobi and Edwards, who are not good enough at this level,and has not done enough to strengthen the squad.
We must bring in some experienced and talented players in the transfer window, people who are used to playing at this level. However, the best players won’t want to come to a doomed club, why would they ?
I’ve admired Mick’s ability to motivate players to play above themselves, and his strength of character. What I don’t admire is his obstinacy and failure to appreciate quality when he sees it.Positive, skilful attacking midfielders are what we lack.Sorry, Mick !

Take a punt, get Chris Hughton in with Ray Wilkins as the number 2. Got to be honest Sam Allardyce’s football does not inspire me. otherwise go for Sean O’Drisscol, does seem like a major gamble but as sad as it sounds we will probably go down this season only 1 team has ever got out of the situation that we find ourselves in, that was them down the road. With the squad that we have and a small investment i see no reason why we can’t bounce straight back. Mick it will be sad to see you go.

Micks right to focus just on the liverpool game. But lose tonight and at West Ham and the focus will be on his job, and whether its in the best interests of this club for him to stay on.Make no mistake the pressure is building from disgruntled fans and Morgan will have to listen.
Mick may be well respected by other managers but I dont think his personality, man management skills and style of play attracts the quality of players we need to stay in this league.He gets the best out of average ability hard working players but has not managed to get the best out of Miljas and fletcher who are good technical players.
He couldnt do it with Eastwood or Bothroyd and look what DJones has done with him.

Since the day he was appointed I have been in a state of total dismay. Mick le Twerp is a complete disaster.
I lstened to him pontificating for the BBC during the World Cup. I could not imagine for the life of me, why the Beeb had invited the twerp to commentate. If he was deemed to be so knowledgeable about footy why can’t he get the Wolves out of the mess they are in. He was clever enough to get them in it !
The fact that he stands on the touchline dressed like a refugee from K Mart or the PoundShop says it all ! No class, no idea and soon no job.
Times up Mick, pack thee bags ode son and get thesen back oop North.

All is forgiven.It is now official the North Bank is to be replaced by a giant roller coaster ride.And like I previously posted, why play Stephen Ward as a striker,he will never score.And finally CULLIS DOME your post after Wigan was absolutely spot on.

UTW!
Another great performance. Well done, Mick.
Only 2 bad performances all season.
We are where we thought, where bookies thought, where pundits thought, that we would be.
Only difference is that we’re playing far better football than people thought, and coping with far more injuries than thought.
DOn’t even think of sacking our best manager for a generation. Don’t you lot remember our pre-Mick Championship struggles?
UTW! Long live Mick!!

Mick McCarthy has his faults but he is the best Wolves manager for many years.
Those who want to sack Mick should remember: Sammy Chung, John Barnwell, Graham Hawkins, Tommy Doherty, Bill McGarry, Sammy Chapman, Brian Little, Graham Turner, Graham Taylor, Mark McGhee, Colin Lee, Stuart Gray and Glenn Hoddle.
In the last twenty seven years only Dave Jones and Mick have taken Wolves out of the second division, and only Mick has kept them in the division.
