'It's not just about Souey'

Assistant chief Evans, standing in for the unwell Mick McCarthy, said the players had not been distracted by Graeme Souness's £20m offer for the club.
However McCarthy's No 2 did say he hoped the Souness bid wouldn't blow Wolves promotion push off course.
"I find myself saying it's a funny time for it to be happening when we are doing well. But it won't affect the players or our preparations for the game at Stoke on Saturday."Personally I don't know anything about a take-over other than what I have read. I wouldn't expect anything else because it's not for us to get involved in the upper echelons of the football club."
Evans said Souness's bid has not been talked about in the Molineux dressing room.
The take-over has been the talk of the terraces, but the Molineux players have remained focussed on the crunch promotion clash at the Britannia Stadium.
"Suffice to say it's not been a topic of conversation in the dressing room.
"I think they are more concerned about Chingy's latest record or who is the most good looking woman in FHM," joked Evans.
