I'd say the small step approach seems a sensible and proven one - look at teams like Stoke and Sunderland and compare their recent history with that of clubs who have over committed financially such as Portsmouth, Hull and Leeds. Unless you've got a Man City type owner where you're not bound by the club's ability to generate money its not worth the risk. I don't doubt Morgan's business acumen for a moment and I think he's taking the club in the right direction with a sensible, sustainable approach. Morgan has pointed out that now is a perfect time to be redeveloping the stadium in terms of the financials as the building industry (and many others) in the UK is on its arse and so its a buyer's market where he can get the work done for a knock down price. The first stages of the re-development don't significantly increase the capacity of a stadium that was never half full (save for Carling Cup games), even in the super depressing Hoddle era.

Anyway, Morgan seems to be working on the small step theory, which totally baffles me because he's just about to spend a fortune on a stadium which will be half full if the small step we made this year isn't enough??????????????????????????????????????? ________________________________ From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of mark worrall Sent: Thursday, 19 May 2011 09:13 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [NSWolves] Wolves owner Steve Morgan says he wants Mick McCarthy to stay on as the club's manager even if they are relegated. Maybe thats based on Morgan only planning on putting in small amounts of money each year, and measuring MM on what he achieved with it ? He wont get a big name manager in as they will expect lots of money to spend, which he obviously doesnt want to pay.

Why can't Morgan accept that Mick has reached the limit of his ability and take the plunge. 5 years is long enough in most roles.
