Mick McCarthy today thanked Wolves owner Steve Morgan for his support and revealed he owes him a debt of gratitude.
The under-fire manager hailed the Molineux chairman after Wolves' 2-1 comeback win at 10-man QPR on Saturday – which lifted them out of the Premier League drop zone.
Morgan gave the players an unprecedented dressing room blast after last Tuesday's 3-0 defeat to Liverpool to indicate he was losing patience.
But McCarthy insisted Morgan's support has never wavered and he continues to back him. "We've won three games in 22 and I'm still here as the manager of Wolves," said McCarthy. "Let me tell you that's some level of support so let's not forget that.
"When everyone is writing negative stuff about me and Steve he has been as supportive as anyone else. I owe him a debt of gratitude for that."
The win eased the pressure on McCarthy ahead of Sunday's Black Country derby visit of Albion.
Wolves moved above Bolton into 17th, just five points behind Albion after their 2-1 defeat to Swansea.
But McCarthy, who is waiting to discover the extent of Emmanuel Frimpong's knee injury after the midfielder limped out in the first half, preached caution.
"We can drag West Brom in this week but they can move further away from us as well. I am positive but we've got three points against 10 men and are not going to start beating our chests about it," he said.
"It's a real tough game for us this week and a really important one because it's against our neighbours."
