Wolves for sale: Steve Morgan's made the wrong move, say fans
'Stupid' and the 'wrong decision' - those were the views of Wolves fans reflecting on the bombshell departure of owner and chairman Steve Morgan.
On the whole, fans travelling down to the game last night against Fulham on coaches said that he had made the wrong choice to walk away and they voiced their concerns over the future of the club.
Mark Chast, aged 49 from Penn Fields, who has been supporting Wolves since he was five-years-old, said he thought Morgan was 'stupid' to sell the club.
He said: "I think he's stupid myself, he shouldn't be selling the club. I don't know what the reason is but if it's anything to do with fans saying get your cheque book out I've got no sympathy for him. The fans are right, he needs to get his cheque book out, he needs to buy players.
"It is the wrong choice, he should stick it out.
"I hope it doesn't go to a foreign owner, I want it to be local, get a local business firm in and get them to take it over.
"It will affect Kenny and the players because it's on all their own minds so it will affect them in some way or another."
Other fans thought Liverpool-born Mr Morgan had been hounded out of the club by certain fans.
Laura Jackson, aged 27 from Dudley, said: "I think it's the wrong decision right now. I think there's already unrest in the squad with Kenny Jackett but for me I think fan power has won. A lot of fans supposedly confronted Steve Morgan at Preston, which is totally uncalled for.
"I don't think he's done a lot wrong since he's been here, maybe the Mick McCarthy decision and appointing Terry Connor at the time was the wrong decision, but there's a lot of worse owners out there we could have had.
"I'm not saying he hasn't made mistakes because he has and I'm sure he'll admit that himself but I also think personally Jez Moxey has a lot to do with the problems at the club and not just Steve Morgan."
Martyn Troth, aged 24 from Redditch, added: "Personally I think it's the wrong decision, he's been berated by fans at games such as Blackburn and Preston and in my eyes he has never done anything wrong.
"He's put money where he's needed to, he's gone and built an academy, he's planned to build a new stadium. The problem lies elsewhere in the club, not at the head of the table as some people seem to think.
"In my eyes it's more Moxey and Kevin Thelwell who are more behind the lack of signings.
"In terms of those who called for Morgan's head I think it's more fans that think the players that have come in are going to win us the league and get us promoted but it doesn't work like that.
"There are fans out there who are expecting more from the team than is possible and they've acted on poor results such as the draw against Preston.
"They need to get the future of the club sorted out as soon as possible and then try and build on what they've already got here and push for the Premier League.
"Sir Jack trusted Steve with the club and he's never let him down so I trust Steve to make the same decision that Sir Jack would have."
Barry Jones, aged 72 from Telford, said the news was 'a bit of a shock' but admitted it's probably not a bad decision from Mr Morgan's point of view.
He said: "It's a bit of a shock. Nobody in their wildest dreams thought this would happen. Of course it has and unfortunately people are wondering where we are going. Is somebody going to come in quick, aren't they going to come in quick? The sooner the better obviously for everyone's sake but we don't know.
"I think he made a few million profit last year so it's his wish. It looks in a way a bad thing to do but in his eyes it probably isn't."
Chairman and owner Morgan left the club with immediate effect on Monday and it was totally out of the blue. He took over the club in 2007.
Chief executive Jez Moxey will take over the day-to-day running of the club.
