Wolves boss Mick McCarthy believes the club must establish themselves as a Premier League club in their own way, rather than copying the methods of others. He said: "We used to say that Charlton were the blueprint for everyone to follow and look what has happened to them.

"That blueprint has been thrown away hasn't it. That was everyone's blueprint wasn't it. It was 'Oh, we all want to be like Charlton'.

"Well I say let's be like ourselves and let's see if we can stay up on our own merits and not by anybody else's."
