STEVE Morgan was facing the media today to mark the relaunch of the Wolves Aid charity and of course he was also faced with the $64,000 question.

What is the position regarding the future of Mick McCarthy?

Morgan wouldn't say.

He insisted any opinion he gave would be open to misinterpretation.

Of course even this approach is going to be open to misinterpretation because people will now assume he's not backing McCarthy because he hasn't done so publically.

Not necessarily the case.

Morgan's approach is probably quite sensible.

Had he come out very strongly backing his manager the reports put out by the local media would soon have been hyped up into a "vote of confidence".

And we all know what happens to managers who've been given a vote of confidence!

Morgan simply brushed the question aside as irrelevant, asked everyone to pull together and insisted the season was far from over.

In doing so he hasn't heaped any more pressure on McCarthy's shoulders, and has also left things in such a way that the season can be discussed far more calmly when the dust settles should it not be concluded in the manner in which Wolves want.

And everyone jumping up and down thinking that his silence on the big issue of the day is of particular significance should remember one pertinent thing.

What Morgan has said behind closed doors to McCarthy will be far different to anything he would ever say to the press.
