WOLVES chief executive Jez Moxey has hailed Mick McCarthy as the best manager the club has seen for 30 years.

Wolves were guaranteed a second successive campaign in the Premier League following Burnley’s 4-0 defeat to Liverpool hopes the club can now challenge for a trophy in the near future with McCarthy at the helm.

“Mick has to be the best Wolves manager in 30 years. He’s as good as we’ve had in recent times,” said Moxey in the Express & Star.

“He’s done something no other manager here has achieved in winning a title (last season’s Coca-Cola Championship) and keeping us in the Premier League.

“Let’s hope he can go on and win a major trophy for us - that’s our aim, to re-establish this club as a major force in the land.

“People will say it’s a pipe dream, but if we look at what Everton have done, why can’t he?

“He’s done a great job and he will be here a long time. We are happy with him and he is happy with us.

“Mick has done a magnificent job when many people were saying he couldn’t manage in the Premier League. This is a major achievement for this football club.”
