Chief executive Jez Moxey was today at the centre of a row over calling Wolves fans “fickle”.

An anonymous email sent to a Wolves supporters’ blog site revealed Moxey said: “Newsflash: You are fickle” during the fans’ parliament meeting last week.

The sender is a member of the fans’ parliament who attended the meeting. Moxey was answering a point made by a member of the parliament who said it was wrong for players to call the fans fickle following the sarcastic cheering at Karl Henry’s substitution against Newcastle.

In minutes of the meeting since released by the club, Moxey admitted using the term ‘fickle’, but in context: “Come on, guys, newsflash! Some fans – and I stress ‘some’ – are fickle!”

He added: “If someone from the club says something you don’t like in response to a negative reaction from the crowd, don’t hold it against them.

“Perhaps everyone needs to develop slightly thicker skins.”

The anonymous sender also claimed Moxey said: “Stoke fans are better than Wolves fans”, and said “If Moxey had his way he would not continue with ground redevelopment”.

But Moxey said: “A person who goes to Stoke games came to our match against Swansea and commented to me that he couldn’t believe the negativity.

“But I would never say Stoke fans are better than Wolves fans.”

As regards continuing with the Molineux redevelopment, the Wolves supremo expressed some doubts.

“Ultimately it’s not my decision, although I’ll have an input,” he said.

“For the North Stand, we funded it out of cash flow.

“The East Stand would be more expensive and, with declining attendances, more of a challenge to fund.”
