McCarthy ‘in dark’ on funds
Wednesday 30th December 2009, 2:00PM GMT.
Wolves boss Mick McCarthy claims he does not know how much money he will have available to spend during the January transfer window, even though it will reopen in only three days’ time.
McCarthy is reasonably content with a 19 point haul and 15th position heading into the new year, despite a double setback during the festive season against Liverpool and Manchester City.
But there has been speculation about a strained relationship with owner Steve Morgan since McCarthy fielded a reserve team against Manchester United at Old Trafford.
McCarthy said: “If we had said after the Birmingham game a month ago we would be sat here now with the points we’ve got, we’d all be happy.
“Am I happy with this squad going into the second half of the season? Yes. We are out of that bottom three halfway through the season.”
But, when asked how much activity he will be involved in during the transfer window, McCarthy said: “I really don’t know what will be available.
“It is a time when desperation strikes for a lot of people, whether they have to sell and some are desperate to buy, and prices and wages are raised. We will have to see.
“Do I know what I’ve got to spend? Good question!”
