“McCarthy is unlikely to have welcomed Morgan’s heated intervention”

Good, let’s hope it shows him and the players that they are not going to be here forever and take the club for a ride.

Let’s hope it also shows McCarthy that his job ain’t there for keeps no matter what the results or performance. He has to succeed to keep his job.

This is a joke, right?

Shocking man management, has this guy really ran (running) multi million pound businesses?

Mr. Morgan – If you had faith in the manager you have in charge of your business (in this case, Wolves) you would not need to resort to front line interference. On the other hand, YOU have the power to be able to change that management if things go wrong yet you have single handedly failed to do so.

As the saying goes, you have made your bed (by frequently backing a sub-standard management and coaching structure) so now you and the rest of us must lie in it. All you have succeeded in doing here is making yourself, and more importantly Wolves look very stupid.

I despair..

“It’s (Morgan) alive!”. Thank goodness the owner finally showed some type of frustration and anger. Not a shrink by any means, but might be be projecting his own disappointment in himself, for letting this whole thing escape his him for as long as he’s allowed? Maybe he is also upset with himself for. It acting sooner? Hard to say. Still, finally we see that he as well has reached a fill line of the apathy that is rising amongst the troops. Even on telly you could see the despondent body language this past Tuesday. More rollocking from the head honcho; let’s hope it has the desired effect at Loftus Road!

Not surprised by this, for the first time Morgan came under attack from the fans on Tuesday night as fans begin to realise that he is making a huge personal fortune out of the club and spending nothing on the team. There can be no excuses for the display on the field against Liverpool but at last people are realising that the blame doesn’t lie entirely at Mick’s door. There can’t be a manager in the whole league that doesn’t want to strengthen his team, but they are all dictated to by the owner’s budget. In our case we have spent almost nothing on the team since scraping survival last year but are pumping money into building projects which to all intents and purposes feathers Morgans nest. Personally I’m a big fan of Mick but equally I can see why others aren’t but responsibility must ultimately lie at the owner’s door. The most depressing thing however, is that that the light at the end of the tunnel has finally gone out and barring miracles we are going down, and there are no guarantees of coming back up.

lol lol lol, what a load of clap trap, if true i suspect strongly its to seem that he actually gives a dam about our current fate, but blaming the players is hardly going to win the fans over mate, should have listened to us pre season,1. new stand why ? we dont fill the ground anyway, 2. it wont happen again, ( last day nail biter ) got that right we will be down before the last game 3. the total lack of quality signings, Roger Johnson, er when is signing a CB from a team that was relegated a good idea, er never. 4. not acting when you clearly had to time to stop the current situation smacks of arrogance to me or more worringly complete stupidity. 5. and seriously what did you expect after last season and no invest in the team. Sorry Steve doesnt cut it for me or many others, suppose if it looks like your a ‘fan’ and care about the club the rest of the fans will turn on mick and i will be allright, guess again your the owner and you have the final say, the buck rests with you !!!!!

What does Morgan expect? This team is almost the same as the team that won promotion 3 years ago. How the hell does he expect us to improve our position with players who are out of their depth.

We needed a top Centre Back and a top striker in the summer, players who have been there and done it. What did we get, Roger Johnson and no striker.

All we have now is a team of grafters, and that’s not enough to stay in this league season after season.

Morgan seems to be much like Hayward, a decent bloke with loads of money but absolutely no idea about what makes a good team or how to go about getting it.

Too little too late Mr Morgan! You’ve been too quiet in the background for far too long. This rollicking of the team should have been done months ago & at least then you would have seen the reaction from the them before the transfer window opened & you could have done something about it in time. It’s your own fault that we have a team of players, 60% of whom aren’t good enough to play in the Premiership.

Shame, the whole club now seems to be following the example set by its own fans, we really are imploding and turning on each other.

We don’t want his rants, what we want is for him to take action, that means doing what he is paid for ie sack McCarthy.

I see we now have words of wisdom from the captain, “we need to keep McCarthy everything will be ok, a new mangaer wouldn’t make any difference”.
Well no we don’t, yes he would the first thing to happen would be a change of tactics, ie stop messing about passing across the field get the ball and backwards, pass to the front men probably two not the insane one and wingers.

Stop back peddling off defenders, it’s not rocket science.

Play who is in form, get the fans on side show some passion, show some excitement to the people who pay all their wages

He is also quoted as saying what McCarthy has done for us, yes he has but I am sick and tired of hearing this, he has been paid for that it is here and now that matters, we are in deep trouble

McCarthy says we only have to defend better, yes we do but we need to do a hell of a lot more like scoring and taking shots!
That is his problem he hasn’t a clue, you could see it at the Liverpool game

The only way to get Morgan to do something and god knows why he has to be made to it is for the fans to take action.

Who would you rather be supporting this morning Wolves or Sunderland???????????

‘Never Again’ said a visibly drained Steve Morgan, after the final day drama last season, where Wolves only stayed up by virtue of other Teams performing even worse than Wolves on that day.

So why was only Roger Johnson added to that pretty poor Team over the Summer?

Why was the consistent line coming from the Club and local media in the early part of the Season that RJ was the missing link and that we know had a squad of mid table standing?

Why after 3 games and 7 points did we not kick on and sign decent players when the name and equity of Wolves was at its highest in the last 30 years?

Only 3 people know the answer : The 3 M’s

So whose going to take the responsibility?

Bit late storming into the dressing room at 10.00pm on deadline day just because you have been humiliated by the your Favourite Club

McCarthy will go

Moxey will cling on again despite total failure under his time at the Club (and Stoke eventually recovering from his disastrous tenure)

see post 12 bewdley wolf, for the real reasons its not just micks fault, and i’m not trying to shift the blame from mick, he doesnt dictate the the finances of the club, he spends what he is allowed to and thats it, and hence the mess we are in.

What a complete shambles……..
I cannot believe that an individual as smart as Mr Morgan would go charging into the Wolves dressing room venting his anger to the players no less…I am absolutely horrified that he should ignore protocol and blast the players direct in front of the Manager, quite an humiliating embarrassment for McCarthy, having his authority taken from him in front of his charges. While Morgan is the clubs owner, under no circumstances should he have approached the players in the way that he did, that is McCarthy’s job.
If McCarthy had any guts he should have resigned on the spot, because Morgan made it quite clear to him and the players, that he has lost all confidence in him.

Well, at last. something has roused the anger in Mr Morgan, and he has let fly, but for heavens sake, is the man blind or stupid, the anger should have been directed to McCarthy and in private, and it was McCarthy’s job to pass it onto the players.

This without a doubt will upset the players, and do nothing for belief and motivation, and this outburst will clearly show the players that all is not well at Wolverhampton.

Clearly, Morgan has stripped McCarthy of all authority over his players, and in the real world, there is little open to Mr Morgan other than to relieve McCarthy of his services and replace him without delay

The present Manager will never ever be able to command the authority and direction over his players in the future

Report abuse

Its no good shouting at the players because you expect them to be better than they are. The owner Steve Morgan has paid for a Championship team and thats exactly what he has and surely he cannot in all honesty expect it to survive in the Premiership. To deflect criticism now onto either the players or MM is completely unacceptable. He should be big enough along with his number two Jez Moxey to accept responsibility and come clean instead of looking for scapegoats. I do think that Stoke City have never looked back since Jez Moxey joined us from them. Also you need to review prices for next season because you owe season ticket holders a huge goodwill gesture for this seasons rubbish.

At last Morgan as woken up! Unfortunately he’s picked the wrong target. Yes the players deserve a rollicking after Tuesdays second half display, but the bottom line is they are in the main Championship players doing their best I;m sure. Unfortunately they have to follow the baffling tactics and game plan ( giving McCarthy undue credit there I think} of a manager who is completely out of his depth at this level.

Who is responsible for employing the manager … might come as a nasty shock Mr Morgan but the buck stops with you. All the signs so far of your committment to this great old club is that it is a cash cow run purely to make money for you through your building company.

Finally I would say one word to you… Bhattis. If this means nothing to you then I suggest that you have a word with the locals to discover what it means to Wolves fans. You will not like what you hear.

Please do the honorable thing and stop using our club to line your pockets and get rid of this abysmal management team.

McCARTHY has put us in the relegation dog fight again which on the last day of the season when morgan did his speech he PROMISED that this wouldn’t happen again but has MORGAN really backed MM , the answer is NO , we have turned on MM during the season due to bad management skills and picking favourites and stuff like that but the writing was on the wall as soon as thet cancelled the steve bull stand and then MM spoke out last week saying he had to work within a very tight budget, never once has MM spoke about money or lack of… MORGAN should of either sacked him at xmas or backed him with real money to get us out of this mess, if we don’t beat the albion then i can see there being big trouble during and after the match and i think the 3 M’S are in for it , we should of thanked MM for everything he has done for this club but it was time for a change but MORGAN i think you will get the worst amount of abuse you are ever likely to experience , ” you can stick your flippin houses up your rear ” that is a very polite way of singing that song but either wake up or get lost !!!

He was the one directly feeling the heat on Tuesday evening, and obviously doesn’t like it. Well if you can’t stand the heat get out of the kitchen as the saying goes! I see that Sunderland are paying only £20k a week of the £90k that Bridge is on at City, thought our lot were on that sort of money so why didn’t we go in for Bridge. The arguement has always been, that his wages are to high! Oh well its to late now, but we simply must get something at QPR this weekend, as the gap between the bottom 4 and the 15th club is getting bigger by the week.

Well done Mr Morgan. Tuesday night was unacceptable. I think that you have been very supportive of on field performances (good bad or indifferent) and been dignified enough not to criticise the team/manager up till now.

I wish people would stop talking about the managers we ‘could’ have had and how we have missed out. The likes of O’neal would never come to Wolves when we are so restricted by our ability to pay wages. sunderland currently paying players up to 80k a week, we are at half that level. whilst i agree its time for a change, a lot of fans need to wake up and realise that we cannot and will not attract big names, managers or players, unless we are taken over by some billionaire. we are destined to struggle in this overated league full of overpaid players.

Wolves are a massive club and I’ve been going to Molinuex since the 1950s when we trounced all of the best clubs in the world. Billy Wright was the best player ever to pull on an England jersey.

The prices for those big houses must have fallen through the floor to get this reaction. Should go further though and declare his building plans at the home of English football and down at Compton will stop and the money directed into team building – whatever league we are in next season.

Intresting point though last night listening to the Newstalk radio in Dublin – they were discussing names for the vacant Leeds job with Warnock, Puyet and …… McCarthy all being mentioned as possible contenders.

You allowed the fool to remain in post and you allowed him to sign 20 complete waste of time players rather than a couple with quality, Everton are a good example of this two or three 10m plus players to steady the ship rather than 20 very, very poor players in the hope they may come good. The whole set up is poor from the tactics to coaching staff to the amount of injuries we have a season (but this is always a good excuse). No youth coming through, no players anybody would have (Fletch and Wayne aside) and a captain who will not admit how rubbish he is but blames everyone around!

Report abuse

In an ideal world Mr Morgan would have kept out of the dressingroom and kept his feelings to the boardroom however, I do not blame him at all for finally taking action in this way.

Keeping faith with his manager is how it should be. But only to a point.

Three years of premiership football, and we do not seem to heave learned anything. We have a lack of flair in the centre of the pitch and we are shopping around for bargain basement signings rather than experience and skill.

Ok we have in on loan Frimpong in the middle and Bassong at the back, but what were we doing pre season and for the first half of the year.

How many players have come in and gone out without being given an opportunity, and how many players have been consistently played when they should be dropped.

I believe that it is vital that Wolves are run in the black and should indeed look to invest in all parts of our business, based on medium and long term plans.

Mick McCarthy has had enough transfer money £40M and enough wage budget £35m pa for our team to be performing better than our results have shown.he has also had enough time and enough support from both the fans as well as the board.

It is however time for a change. We need a new manager, who is experienced and can provide us with attractive football and tactical ability on the pitch as well as managing ego’s in the dressing room.

We need an ethos within the academy that is of excellence and the highest standards and a style of play that will nurture talent and flair. And that will produce players for the 1st team on a regular basis.

If no one is available and not in employment. Go and get someone from another club. Compensation of £2m for a quality manager who can take us forward within the premier league will be money well spent.

We all love the club, and we all want Wolves to succeed. To replace Mick McCarthy and Terry Conner now is not a knee jerk reaction. It is common sense.

Morgan should be looking at himself as he is the cause of the mess we are in.The majority of our squad are championship players and he is more interested in building restaurants and new stands than in investing in new players.Unsurprisingly he is trying to blame everyone but himself.An absolute disgrace

I do not believe Steve Morgan’s agenda is to make loads of money out of us.There are many better investments around ,rather than owning and funding a football club.That said I think he has been misguided in spending on infrastructure rather than properly rebuilding the team to meet the demands of Premier football.The worry is that he still does not get it.We lost to Liverpool because they have better players.In my opinion Mick McCarthy has done well to keep us in the Prem so far with a bunch of largely Championship quality footballers.Liverpool’s first goal on Tuesday was made by Adam and scored by Carroll.Both players were wanted by Mick McCarthy ,but the owner and chief executive failed to sign them.If Steve Morgan doesn’t understand this is the root of our problems,then there is no hope for us.

All going swimmingly on the Molineux PR front – I liked Roger Johnson’s comments that changing the manager wouldn’t make any difference to what the players do on the pitch. Really?? Perhaps changing the manager AND his backroom staff might. SM is blinkered if he thinks storming into the dressing room is going to make an iota of difference. We have as much quality in our players as teams in mid-table, but they have better managers and coaches. We have no idea how to defend, we let men run with the ball, stand off, our build up is too slow allowing teams to get men behind the ball etc etc. The problem Mr Morgan is right in front of your Director’s seat about fifteen feet below you. The two men “in charge” on the bench. Defeat against QPR on Saturday will be another nail in the coffin which could be nailed shut by the end of this month. The problems on the pitch with the way we play as a team (or 11 individuals at times) have not changed in the last three years – so why hasn’t something been done sooner? The horse has most definitely bolted (it’s probably a mile down the road now)and our illustrious CEO and Chairman can’t even find the gate, let alone shut it. I’m sadly preparing for the Championship.

Report abuse

Enough said on this page, either love Mick or hate him, I look at the Wolves and think to myself “you’ve had your chances”. Three seasons in the premier league, two we survived but sadly this time we are doomed: I hope that it doesn’t happen but it looks inevitable.
Personally I would prefer the mediocrity of the Championship with regular wins rather than getting thumped by all and sundry home and away, supporters despondent and in total disarray.
What I feel is sad is that we do have some quality players and I think that perhaps they are resigned to departing in the summer, so why break a gut? Much better to keep the fitness up, avoid long term injury and spend your desire to win with your agent and negotiating a new contract. Look at Kevin Doyle, still runs around but his commitment has gone, resigned to the fact that he is moving on in June. Jarvis, same, Fletcher… I could go on.
Let’s face it, we are going nowhere and apart from one season previously we have spent over 20 years in the second tier or lower. Forget Morgan, he has never committed anything like the money he would have had to at Liverpool, Moxey…well Moxey is Moxey. I feel sorry for Mick McCarthy, one thing is certain, he had demonstrated commitment and passion far greater than the Chairman and players.
Wolverhampton Wanderers all of my life, but I have accepted the reality, we are destined for a half full stadium, a huge stand with more people in the cafe and bar area than outside and Morgan and Moxey, away counting the pennies from a good deal.

A chairman in a reputable business would not act so childishly when the tools to deal with the problem are at his disposal.
