Wolves boss McCarthy accepts job on line after Liverpool defeat

Wolves boss Mick McCarthy knows defeat to Liverpool has left his job hanging by a thread.

Wolves have now gone nine league games without a win - a run from which they have collected just four points - and there were boos at the final whistle.

McCarthy said: "After the last home game (against Aston Villa) there were huge rumours that I wouldn't be here.

"I can't imagine there will be any less after this game. We will see. I can hear what the fans are saying and I fully understand it.

"It was an unacceptable performance from us in the second half and watching that was unacceptable for me or anybody else.

"That's as bad a performance as we've had here or away. Fans pay good money to come and watch and they expect better and I understand that.

"If I had been watching, I'd have probably responded like that as well."
