McCarthy wants spending power

Mick McCarthy is hoping to have more funds made available to strengthen his Wolves squad should they guarantee Premier League survival.[LNB] Hull's 2-0 home defeat by Aston Villa on Wednesday night means Wolves can make virtually sure of staying up if they defeat Blackburn at Molineux on Saturday.[LNB]They are currently six points ahead of the 18th-placed Tigers with three games remaining and also have a vastly superior goal difference.[LNB]But McCarthy knows he needs to bring in new blood should Wolves retain their top-flight status and is hoping that would help him to attract new signings.[LNB]The former Republic of Ireland boss said: "We'd have to try and improve what we've got (if we stay up). If we don't, then we're just standing still.[LNB]"If we stay in the Premier League, then we'll have to try and improve the squad again.[LNB]"If you stay up, players (possible signings) might have a bit more faith we can do it again.[LNB]"If we stay up, there's maybe the chance of spending more money and bringing better players in.[LNB]"The players here are doing great at the minute but it's all about improving the squad."[LNB]McCarthy suffered the agony of being relegated with Sunderland and will take nothing for granted until Wolves have ensured they cannot go down.[LNB]He said: "I wanted Villa to beat Hull - of course - but if we win our games, then there's nothing anyone else can do about it so let's deal with the situation.[LNB]"It would be nice to win on Saturday but we'll keep our feet on the ground."
