Moxey: Stability has seen Wolves safe

28 April 2010 08:55
Chief executive Jez Moxey believes off-the-field stability has been a key factor in Wolves achieving Premier League survival.[LNB] Wolves' relegation rivals Portsmouth, with their massive financial problems, and West Ham, who were taken over in mid-season, have had to deal with matters away from the pitch.[LNB]But Moxey feels the close relationship between Mick McCarthy and the Wolves hierarchy has been crucial in ensuring a second campaign of top-flight football.[LNB]Moxey told Press Association Sport: "Does stableness give you an advantage over West Ham, Portsmouth, etc? It is difficult for me to talk about other teams - although it is difficult for me not to have an opinion on Portsmouth.[LNB]"But stability for me is the key to this because it is such a difficult job. It is unlike any other business. You basically publish your results every Saturday when you have a game.[LNB]"Stability, good communication, and everyone singing from the same page is of paramount importance. We have certainly got that."[LNB]Moxey added: "There is no other agenda. We haven't got an owner who is looking to do something that is not in line with what the manager wants. We haven't got a chief executive who is trying to do something that is not in line with what the manager wants. We haven't got a manager doing anything that is not in line with what the club is all about.[LNB]"Everyone has always been pulling in one direction, to have the best possible football team without going bankrupt, doing it in a certain way that feels right for Wolves and our fans."[LNB]McCarthy echoed Moxey's sentiments and said: "I want no thanks for keeping us up. I just want to be trusted all the way along that I am doing the job properly and doing it with the best interests of the team and the club at heart.[LNB]"I need that trust, which is the trust I give my players and team. I need that as well - and from above I get that."
