Wolves Appoint Terry Connor As Manager Until End Of The Season

Breaking news coming in from the Molineux.... Wolverhampton Wanderers have hired Terry Connor as manager until the end of the season. Connor, who served as assistant manager to axed boss Mick McCarthy has been tasked with the job of keeping Wolves in England's top division with a tricky thirteen games remaining of the season. The club currently lie 17th in the table, in the relegation zone on goal difference. Connor has been given the job after the Wolves owners had difficulty finding a replacement for McCarthy elsewhere. As we reported just hours ago, they had offered the job to former Charlton and West Ham boss Alan Curbishley twice, current Reading boss Brian McDermott and also former Everton and Rangers manager Walter Smith but none of them accepted the job. They also interviewed a whole host of other candidates including Steve Bruce (who was so desperate for the job he put together a 'survival dossier' but Wolves weren't keen on his credentials after enduring an awful 2011 with Sunderland), former boss Dave Jones (who had been favourite as of this morning) and even out of work Glenn Roeder yesterday, among others. In the end it has gone to Connor, who was already set to take charge of tomorrow's game at Newcastle United. Now he has the rest of the Premier League matches to take charge of. More on this coming.
