Under-pressure Wolverhampton Wanderers manager Mick McCarthy has delivered an emotional message to the club's fans ahead of the Black Country derby with West Bromwich Albion on Sunday.

The manager explained that he is driven to deliver due to the faith placed in him by fans of the club.

"I don't feel bad because of the pressure. The reason I feel bad when we lose games is because of the fans who support me, the people who work at the club, all the people who give me that great support," he told the club's official website.

"For all of them, I don't want this to be anything other than a Premier League club. That's what I feel bad about, that it's not going better. It's about letting people down.

"I just feel I'd like to do better for people."

Wolves are currently one point above the drop zone after last week's 2-1 win at relegation rivals Queens Park Rangers.

McCarthy added: "Hopefully last week's result will kickstart the rest of our season."

The win was Wolves' second in their last ten Premier League games.
