Wolves manager Mick McCarthy believes the majority of fans are pleased with the job he has done as the club enters a relegation battle going into the final games of the season.

Wolves have been in the relegation places for much of the current campaign, but are just four points away from 11th place with eight games remaining.

And whilst the McCarthy admits that at times this season there may have been some rumblings of discontent from a small section of supporters, he feels that the stability running throughout Molineux gives Wanderers the best chance of avoiding the drop.

“There were a few rumblings early on about me, like ‘he’s taken them as far as he can’, and all that rubbish,” McCarthy told the club’s official website.

“There probably still is a bit somewhere but I don’t listen to it and I don’t read messageboards and get involved in all that.

“But I think that’s a small per cent and the biggest per cent is happy with the way the club is run from top to bottom.

“I’m not saying everybody feels that way because you never get everybody.

“But I think the biggest percentage of people recognise that it’s a very stable, consistent club and there’s a good spirit throughout.”

And the Wolves boss has praised that consistency, coming from the powers-that-be at Molineux, whilst some other clubs have sacked managers when in similar situations.

“It’s about belief, understanding, and knowing we’ve got good players,” added the Wolves boss.

“I know we’ve been bottom of the league but that cannot just turn me into a bad manager – It’s impossible, it can’t.

“It’s easy to say ‘he’s rubbish’ when we were bottom of the league.

“It takes all sorts, but managers who have had success don’t just lose their ability like that – it just doesn’t happen.

“It might not be a good fit and there might be something else that’s going on or you might have bad luck with injuries, all those things.

“The worst is to try to point all those things out because people think you’re making excuses – so I don’t.”
