Former Wolves boss Graham Taylor says Steve Morgan's dressing room rant was the beginning of the end for Mick McCarthy.
Taylor wrote in the Daily Express: "A few weeks ago when owner Steve Morgan walked into the Wolves dressing room and gave the players a coating after they had lost at home to Liverpool I said to my wife it was only a matter of time before McCarthy would be fired.
"Owners can do what they like - it is, after all, their club. But Morgan should think long and hard about his actions on that day because he severely undermined the authority of his manager.
"Fair enough, he is an owner as well as a fan and watching your team getting beaten is never easy. But the moment he stepped into the dressing room was the death knell for McCarthy's authority over his staff."
