Wolverhampton Wanderers chief executive Jez Moxey has defended the board's decision to replace manager Mick McCarthy with his assistant Terry Connor.

Connor is yet to taste victory during his interim spell in charge, drawing once and losing on five occasions.

Despite the poor start to Connor's reign, Moxey has stood by the verdict to appoint the 49-year-old.

"Yes, and we still support him," Moxey told the Express & Star. "We were losing games, and we're continuing to lose, but we made our decision and we're sticking to it.

"I believe, in the last two games against Norwich and Bolton, the team is performing better than before.

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

Wolves are currently bottom of the Premier League table.
