Well, the FAs like him and so does the medias, and he doesn't have a story with fergie. So who knows in the summer?
There was no hiding place after a 5 1 home defeat to West Brom
McCarthy for England!
I really like him, it's a bit shitty to sack him as he's got them up and has built a reasonable squad.
Who are they going to get that would do a better job?
Bruce, Warnock or somebody who is doing well in the championship but hasn't been test in the premier league.
Short sighted move from Morgan and they'll 100% get relegated now.

I suppose the theory is that they get in a new manager, get that new manager buzz and win four or five games and they'll stay up. It's harsh on McCarthy, but that seems to be the theory.
I wonder are there stats on how often this works?

Haven't watched enough of Wolves to comment but seeing stats like "Wolves have now recovered more points from losing positions than any other team in the top flight this season (13)." - while suggesting how vulnerable and often they fall behind, also showed the spirit and their response. Can they guarantee the new man will turn out to be the solution to their problems?
Remember reading a column questioning how differently Wolves approached the transfer window as compared to QPR. They made close to £9m profit compared to loss of almost £5m in the previous financial year. In the worse case scenario that they get relegated, they should be in a position to bounce straight back. If McCarthy is replaced by any of the sacked managers this season, I guess their chances of survival will be even slimmer.
I would take a punt on a lower league managerial talent if I were Morgan, having already made this gamble (imo).

I wouldn't fancy working with Steve Morgan. He's always seemed as mad as a hatter. Thank God he didn't take over us.

Yes, thank you God for George & Tom..........!

The exceptional awfulness of George and Tom doesn't mean that Morgan would have been good for the club. It would merely have set us off on a different kind of hell.

This is Alan Curbishley's chance to get back into management.
Mick can fuck off he took a B team to play a league game in Old Toilet a couple of seasons back.

Regards stats on changing managers, listening to talksport in late dec & they actually had a decent debate in which they had some good stats, they unequivocally showed that Getting rid anytime in jan was better than at any other time for teams at the wrong end of the table, then the further into the season you go the worse it was.

I like Mick. It's shame he's gone, but it's the right decision.
"Wolves has historically been one of the great clubs in English football. Hanging around the bottom few places and relegation is not what this club is about."
Can see where Morgan is coming from but can't say I'm on the same path as him.

Quite. No club has some kind of divine right NOT to be hanging around the bottom few places in any league. Wolves have been in the doldrums for ages. Why does Morgan think he got the club so cheaply in the first place? I didn't notice him saying 'Hang on, I'd better pay about £100m more because this has historically been one of the great clubs!' Typical hot air from him and with that attitude he'll go through managers at a breathtaking rate.
