Moxey: This is not the time for post mortems

Wolves chief executive Jez Moxey today insisted now is not the time for post-mortems on the season.

Saturday's 3-2 defeat to Bolton left relegation looming ever closer for Terry Connor's side with the team now six points from the safety line with seven games left.

Victory for Blackburn against Manchester United tonight would increase that gap to seven points.

Wolves have taken just one point from 18 under Connor and have lost five in a row, with a club record seven straight league home losses.

But Moxey stressed the recriminations must wait.

"We don't want to be giving post mortems out yet," he said. "We're confident that regardless of what happens this season, this club will prosper.

"We have the foundations in place for success and the huge disappointment of this season will not create a situation where we are knocked off course from the medium to long-term objectives of the club.

"Those objectives are to establish this club in the Premier League by continuing to invest money in new players by being a club that develops its own players through the academy to the first team.

"We also want to provide supporters with better facilities in a stadium with stands close to the pitch that gives us a competitive edge, while ensuring we comply with UEFA financial fair play rules and run the club on a sound footing. This is a long-term project and we will not be thwarted from our aims.

"We have the desire to win every game on a week-to-week basis but nothing will knock us off our belief to deliver success in the medium to long-term. And if we look back at the last five to six years, this club has progressed enormously.

"We have the determination to give fans what they want on and off the field."

Moxey maintained it was the right decision to appoint Connor. "Yes and we still support him," he said. "We were losing games and we're continuing to lose, but we made our decision and we're sticking to it. But I believe the team is performing better than before."
