Steve Bruce Compiles 'Survival Dossier' To Be Next Wolves Manager
Ex Sunderland boss is so desperate for a return to the Premier League he has compiled a blueprint for how he can keep Wolves in England's top division.
Steve Bruce is so desperate to land the vacant Wolves manager's job, he has complied a 'survival dossier' detailing how he could keep the Black Country side in the Premier League if he was appointed at the Molineux, reports The Daily Star. Bruce, who lost his job at Sunderland in December, has been looking for a way back into Premier League management and this is the second job that has become available in the top flight since his sacking after QPR mercilessly fired Neil Warnock and replaced him swiftly with Mark Hughes. Wolves are believed to have drawn up a shortlist of candidates to replace outed Mick McCarthy, who lost his job on Monday morning after a miserable run of games, culminating in an embarrassing derby defeat from rivals West Brom. Owner Steve Morgan is back in the country today and expected to interview Steve Bruce, Neil Warnock and Alan Curbishley, the latter who is believed to be front runner. Though Bruce, who rarely has been out of work in his 14 years of management, has put his case forward via this dossier in the hopes that it would tip the balance his way. But a black point against both he and Warnock is how both looked like potential relegation candidates under their stewardship this season and Curbishley, who hasn't managed in four years and kept Charlton Athletic as a consistent Premier League outfit for years, is seen as a safer choice. It is believed Morgan is looking for a temporary bonus deal appointment, perhaps a short term move for a manager who can keep them in the division with a contract renewed if the manager is successful.
