Moxey stands by boss McCarthy

16 December 2009 12:15
McCarthy has come in for heavy criticism in some quarters after making 10 changes from the side that had won 1-0 at Tottenham on Saturday.[LNB]Goalkeeper Marcus Hahnemann was the only player retained from the starting XI at White Hart Lane, as McCarthy sought to give his first-choice players a rest ahead of their home match against Burnley at Molineux this Sunday.[LNB]But Moxey feels McCarthy was acting in the club's best interests, despite the 3-0 defeat.[LNB]"We have a squad system at the club and Mick picked what he thought was the best side for that match." he told Sky Sports News.[LNB]"In fact if George Friend had taken the chance he had early in the game then maybe we could have held on just like we did at Tottenham."[LNB]Moxey also said the club has no plans to refund the fans who travelled to Old Trafford, despite a chant of "Forty two quid to watch the reserves" being heard from the away supporters.[LNB]Moxey said: "We have no plans to refund the £42 that they were chanting, about although we do have an empathy with them.[LNB]"We are very disappointed that we lost the game, but we have a squad system."[LNB]"I don't think we are going to get any complaints from other teams.[LNB]"We have also had a large amount of injuries recently, Michael Kightly is out and we have lost Andy Keogh.[LNB]"It's an old saying but the season is a marathon not a sprint and Mick's job is to keep us in the Premier League."[LNB]Moxey also refused to rule out the possibility that McCarthy would make wholesale changes to his side at other points later during the current campaign.[LNB]"He might do, he said." "He has already done it once."[LNB][LNB] Wolves Evens, Draw 12/5, Burnley 14/5
