Wolves chairman Steve Morgan has hailed manager Kenny Jackett as a 'class act' – as he revealed the team are putting him through the wringer this season.

While Morgan said he was enjoying the season so far, he revealed recent nerve-shredding games like the dramatic 3-3 draw at Millwall are no good for his heart.

"I'm enjoying how the season's going," he said. "But it's not doing any good for my ticker.

"I was with some friends at Millwall and they said, 'oh my God I'd hate to be your heart surgeon', with all my emotions going up and down at these games. It's all enjoyable, though."

An impressive 2-0 win over Middlesbrough on Tuesday night ended a four-game winless streak and put Wolves just three points off top spot in the Championship.

And Morgan heaped praise on head coach Jackett, who has earned endless plaudits for turning Wolves around after relegation to League One under Dean Saunders in May 2013.

He gave his full backing to the boss, saying the club is 'proud' to have him.

"Kenny is a class act," Morgan said of the former Millwall and Swansea manager.

"I think everybody connected with Wolves are pleased and proud to have him as part of the club."

Morgan has reiterated his commitment to giving youngsters the best possible chance of succeeding at Wolves.

And he claims the new £7m training academy currently being developed will put them on a par with most Premier League clubs.

He was speaking at the launch of The Way, a £6m youth centre project in the city centre which he is spearheading.
