Wolves chief defends his record in wake of sack rumours

Wolves boss Mick McCarthy has shrugged off rumours that he is facing the sack at Molineux. Rumours have been circulating that McCarthy was in line to be axed after he was installed by Sky Bet as 2/5 favourite for the next Premier League manager to lose his job. Wolves dropped into the bottom three at the weekend after seeing their winless run stretch to ten games in all competitions following the 3-2 defeat to Aston Villa. McCarthy has defended his record and insists he could not do anything more to make his side play any better. "The biggest reason as to how I cope is that I don't listen to the backdrop of what fans are saying," said McCarthy. "I do not go around in a glass cabinet - I am fully aware of what is going on. "If you listen to it, you would go off your head anyway. I just make sure I get on with it with Terry Connor [assistant manager], Pat Mountain [goalkeeping coach] and Steve Weaver [development coach] and we try to find a result. "It is a results business but performances have been very good. We have played very well in recent weeks and I cannot question the perfomances at all. "I would not have done anything differently against Chelsea and Tottenham and I could not have done anything to make us any better."
