Mick backed but slick City tear Wolves apart

MANCHESTER CITY made 11 changes from the team that routed Manchester United 6-1 at the weekend but the goals flowed again last night as they demolished Wolves 5-2 to reach the quarter-finals of the Carling Cup at Molineux.

Wolves chief executive Jez Moxey had earlier given his backing to under-fire manager Mick McCarthy but that proved to have little bearing on the outcome.

McCarthy branded some fans as “mindless idiots” who chanted “you don’t know what you’re doing” and “you’re getting sacked in the morning” towards him during the weekend draw with Swansea.
