Wolves could pay off Johnson and Doyle

Wolves outcasts Roger Johnson and Kevin Doyle could be paid off by the club in January.

Chairman Steve Morgan will consider settling the contracts of two of the club's biggest earners before their contracts expire in June.

The pair are a huge drain on the club's resources, with Doyle the top earner at £40,000-a-week and Johnson on an estimated £25,000-a-week.

Crystal Palace, where Doyle is on loan until January, are paying a portion of his wages, but Wolves are footing the rest of the bill, while they are paying all of Johnson's salary despite him not being in Kenny Jackett's plans.

Asked if Johnson and Doyle could be paid up like Jamie O'Hara, Morgan said: "That's something we'd always consider.

"Kenny Jackett has been very focused on how he treats any player who he doesn't see as part of the first team. We'll just continue to back whatever he wants to do.

"Kenny set about making the changes he felt were necessary and myself and Jez Moxey and everyone totally got behind those changes and we're in a very different place today."

Morgan is delighted with Jackett after praising him as a 'master communicator.'

He said: "When you've had two relegations, you have to look at what you're doing.

"As the old expression goes, 'if you always do what you always did, you'll always get what you always got' and clearly we had to change.

"A big part of that change was bringing in Kenny Jackett.

"He has a very refreshing approach, he's a great communicator who can talk to people at every level from the youngsters to the first team and with Jez and myself."

Morgan also re-affirmed his own commitment in the club, saying: "There have been some tough times, but I don't think anyone could doubt my commitment to the club.

"It's always has been and it is 100 per cent."
