Fans right to be cynical of Wolves - Jackson

Wolves technical director Matt Jackson admits fans are right to be "cynical" about the club's leadership.

The former Everton and Norwich defender opened up on how Wolves need to win back the trust of their supporters.

At a Q&A with 250 fans, hosted by BBC Radio WM at Molineux on Tuesday, Jackson, boss Rob Edwards and executive chairman Nathan Shi were grilled.

One asked why supporters should have any confidence in those in charge of the club and Jackson agreed they needed to prove their worth.

"You're right, you should be cynical, you should question us, we have to prove to you. There are no words I can give you that are going to give you that confidence," he said.

"We absolutely have to prove ourselves to you.

"What I can do is show you over the coming months, as part of this team, that we do have the same passion you have.

"This club, it might surprise you, might just mean as much to us as it does to you. Because our families' lives depend on our success here.

"That's a really important element. We care, it matters to us. It matters to us every single second of every single day when we try and do our best."

Edwards' record was also questioned with the former Middlesbrough boss having replaced Vitor Periera in November.

He has won five of his 28 games in all competitions, losing 16, and was also honest about how he saw the situation after one fan criticised results.

"I think it is unacceptable, you're right, it's embarrassing. The players are maxing out and that's the difficult part," he said.

"We're a collective and I'll take responsibility of course but it's not an effort thing, it's the fact that we're the worst team in the league. That's the bottom line.
