McCarthy: Di Matteo exit could have 'brassed off' West Brom players

Wolves boss Mick McCarthy has suggested West Brom's players "might be brassed off" by the sacking of Roberto Di Matteo as the Roy Hodgson era gets under way in Sunday's derby clash.

McCarthy has plenty of respect for Hodgson and can understand why the Baggies have turned to the former Liverpool manager in their bid to avoid relegation from the Premier League.
