Striker's gesture angers McCarthy
Mick McCarthy insists he will not tolerate any further shows of disrespect from Jay Bothroyd.
The Wolves striker angered McCarthy by gesturing to his manager after scoring in Saturday's 3-2 friendly defeat to Reading.
Bothroyd was immediately substituted and, while saying the matter has been put to bed, McCarthy confirmed he does not want to witness a repeat.
"I won't have it," McCarthy told the club's official website.
Disrespect
"Jay said he didn't gesture to me, but I felt it was aimed in my direction. I'll not have that level of disrespect.
"I treat people with respect and I expect that back.
"I don't care where we are in the League, how many points we've got or what my circumstances are, I will not accept that from anyone. But it's over now."
Meanwhile, Wolves keeper Matt Murray will miss the start of the season after being booked in for a knee operation.
Murray is expected to be out for at least three weeks, with McCarthy due to enter the transfer market to bring in a replacement.
