Former Great Returns
Former England forward Steve Bull has been announced as the next Wolverhampton Wanderers manager, following Kenny Jackett's resign.
While the bookies quickly put Karl Robinson and Nigel Pearson at the forefront of the favourites for the vacant position, Steve Morgan has shocked the footballing world with the decision to install an old favorite Steve Bull as the new boss, instead. An icon as a player for the Wolves, which saw them rise from the Football League in the 80's, from there Steve Bull went on to gain an England cap in which he scored on his debut.
With no coaching or managerial experience, Bull's appointment is certainly a strange and risky choice and even more so when you consider he has had no involvement in football whatsoever, in recent times. Regardless, chairman Steve Morgan is convinced that Bull can shrug off critics and regroup a squad that just missed out on the SkyBet Championship Play-Offs last season.
During today's press conference, Morgan told journalists: "Steve is an ambitious, passionate and driven, man. I belive he is a top manager in the making, and has all the characteristics to succeed at Wolverhampton Wanderers. The fans have had to suffer a lot recently, and it's obvious that it on its back to the good times after last season. Steve is the perfect fit to rebuild, and reinvigorate the side."
Bull himself has told the official club website: "I am absolutely delighted to be the new manager of Wolverhampton Wanderers. Everyone knows my history here, and the club is close to my heart. What's important now though is to move the club to the next level and try to reach the heights that the Wolves really should be hitting. I believe with the backing of Steve and the board I can achieve that."
He also explained more about his philosophy: "In succesful seasons, the club has been known to play fast, attacking and exciting football, and that is something I want to re-introduce. I expect maximum effort and commitment every single game, however, we will be working hard on the training ground to ensure that everybody understands the new system. I want to bring a unique and new style of football to the club that every player is compatible with, and will continue to breed results over a long period of time."
