Thank you and goodbye Mick.

It's official, Mick McCarthy has been sacked.

It was coming.I think every Wolves fan would agree about that but it really is very sad. This is the man who took over in 2006 with a paper thin squad and gave us a team to be proud of. This is the man who gave us Premier League football and famous results against some of the top teams in world football. I will always, always be grateful for that.

 The killer match for me wasn't just yesterday, it was a couple of weeks before against Villa. We finally looked like we might be turning things round, with Kightly finally fit, Frimpong looking like a star and O'Hara still to come back. It was all fitting. Frimpong got injured, Henry sent off and we fell apart. Did we ever really recover?

The worst thing is that he will now be remembered for what was his last game, the disgraceful defeat to West Brom. I don't even want to go into that, but it's terrible that we won't remember him for the above and more, and that he leaves with bad taste but he deserves all the praise and thanks he gets for what really was, a fine job.

There is more to be said over the next few days but thank you Mick, and goodbye.

  1. Big thanks to Mick for everythin he's done but the writings been on the wall a few weeks now!! We've been stuck for too long now playing long balls up to Doyle and fletcher and feedin on scraps so, Hopefully we can get a young modern day manager in to work with our "young and hungry" policy! My choice would be Karl Robinson although would probs cost us a few quid...... Just please NOT Neil warnock or steve Bruce as both of them would be a side step instead of forward in my opinion!

  3. Yesterday was shameful - the day was all about us and not Albion it was that bad - in fact my worst day in 45 years at Molineux and I was at the Chorley games
    Terry CONNOR has to go also - in fact I blame him more than Mick - Terry CONNOR is 1st team coach and we keep making the same mistakes so what does he do Mon thro Fri? He has been here since Mark McGee. His job is to make the players into better players and that simply is not and has not been happening. you can see the type of man he is ie. when we play well, he is alongside Mick, but if we are bad he stands back and leaves Mick out there on his own.
    I know Mick had to go and if it was my decision this would of happened a long time ago. In fact I admire Mick, but it was not happening. If Terry CONNOR had half of what Mick has, he would resign
    I doubt Steve Morgan reads this but Jez Moxey has to be a major factor in our situation - I was disgusted by his interview before AVFC game when Football Focus came from Molineux. He stood, proud as punch and said that 17th place was this seasons target? WTF? that is our objective for a third season in the Premier League?
    Lets hope Steve Morgan will "man up" with CONNOR and MOXEY to follow Mick
    Despite all this I will say, Thank You Mick, and you will soon be back in the game - just get a better Assistant

  4. His reign summed up:
    Fantastic in the Championship
    Awful in the Premiership.
