Strong Appointed As Connor Leaves
Strong Appointed As Connor Leaves
Today Wolverhampton Wanderers FC board are delighted to announce that Dan Strong has agreed to become the new manager after Terry Connor called time at the club he told reporters "I need a new challenge". Connor had been at the Molineux for almost 15 years in various roles from coach, assistant manager and then made manager when Mick McCarthy left the club.
Dan Strong gave a quick speech as he stood beside the statue of one of the clubs greatest players Billy Wright, he told waiting fans outside the ground, he is delighted to be given a chance to manage the club that is a prime example of a "Sleeping Giant", and that even though it might take a few years to be at top of table fighting for the title and there might be a few ups and down along the way he was here for the long run and the long term project.
Other rumours coming out of the club in last few hours have said that Wolves owner/chairman Steve Morgan has terminated the contracts of all of the current backroom staff as to give the new manager (Dan Strong) a completely clean slate to bring in his own staff and build the club in the way he wishes.
So if the rumours are too believed, the first task for Strong to undertake would be bringing in a completely new backroom setup. Then move onto transfer targets that can take Wolves to the next level and beyond. It is also rumoured that Strong will only have £8.5m to spend of new transfers and £475k p/w to spend on wages, rough estimates show the Wolves are already spending £420k p/w on wages. So it will be interesting to see how Strong will be able to cope with these tight budgets, which are said to be some of the lowest in the Premier League.
