Mick McCarthy wants a new-look squad next season

Wolves have given a free transfer to former captain Gary Breen and made five more players available for offers.

Jay Bothroyd, Rob Edwards, Darren Potter, Darren Ward and Stephen Elliott have all been put up for sale.

Wolves boss Mick McCarthy said: "We want to freshen things up so we need to generate places for new players by listing some of the existing squad."

Keith Lowe and Kevin O'Connor have also been released, on top of Thursday's transfer listing of Freddy Eastwood.

Assuming they find new clubs, it will mean an exit after less than 12 months at Molineux for three of last summer's signings, Ward, Elliott and Eastwood.

And the decision to release injury-plagued 34-year-old Breen, McCarthy's first signing for Wolves in July 2006, closes their 12-year working relationship.

McCarthy has been his manager at club and international level for Sunderland, Wolves and the Republic of Ireland.

"I've had 12 great years working with him, " said McCarthy. "But we both knew it would come to an end at some stage.

"He keeps himself really fit and has been a fine example to the younger lads. He's been a terrific pro and I'm sure he will go on and be a great asset for someone."

Kevin Kyle, Darron Gibson and Graham Stack have returned to their parent clubs - Coventry City, Manchester United and Reading - following the completion of their loan deals.

This to me proves mick is not the right manager for the job , i think he wont last the season .........watch this space.

None of them deserve to stay imo. Fair play to him. If we wanna win the championship or even challenge we need to get rid of the dead wood

My point is , why did he buy dead wood in the first place ? ? ?

All managers make mistakes at least hes admitting them

True but too many in my eyes.

It certainly has been too many mistakes,practically every signing with the odd exception has been a disaster....michael mcindoe showed thick mick he made the right choice by leaving the crazy regime at wolves and who can blame him,the lad is 90 mins away from being a prem player.....he would be 90 years away from the prem under magic mck and his dross.

wouldnt go that far but micks time must be running out.

and he will be back in the championship next season. Quite frankly im glad he went he was a such a big headed overated crap winger. Jarvis is miles better, Jarvis has pace skill and can beat his man so im not losing any sleep over that tosspot mcindoe.

I like team players all he wanted was to be center of attention all the time
