Bully has eyes on Wolves job
Steve Bull today breezed into Stafford and declared he'd love a stand named after him there – before one day taking the Wolves job.
Steve Bull today breezed into Stafford and declared he'd love a stand named after him there – before one day taking the Wolves job.
The record Wolves scorer has been appointed to the hot-seat of the Blue Square Premier strugglers until the end of next season.
But the 42-year-old legend, who has a stand named after him at Molineux, wants to achieve the same cult status as a manager as he enjoyed as a player.
"I haven't got a stand named after me here – not yet!
"If I could do anything like the same for Stafford that would be unbelievable," said Bull.
"I know what's going to happen if I start to do well here, people will say 'Get Bully in as the next Wolves manager'.
"I think the Wolves job is a long way off for me.
"I've got to work hard at this – I've not had any experience of dealing with transfers or managing players so it's going to take a bit of time.
"But you never know what's around the corner and you never say never.
"Wolves know I'd love to manage them one day, although I don't know whether Mr Morgan does."
Bull is convinced he can be a success as a manager.
"I'd love to be a success at it, but you only get there by hard work," he said.
"You work hard, you win people's respect and you get paid for it. It's the same with the fans – they demand hard work on the field and loyalty off it.
"Hopefully Stafford will find that with me – I'm down to earth, hardworking and people will say "we want to support this lad".
"I'd say to my critics: 'Believe in Steve Bull'. I'm not one for putting my foot in it, I like to get things done and talk about it later.
"I'd rather talk about that though when I've kept the club up."
Bull is certain Stafford can stay up despite the club being 11 points from safety – and chairman John Downing says his job is safe even he takes the club down.
"I seriously think they have got a good chance," he said.
"If they do stay up, superb because it's a massive drop down and no one wants to get relegated and being local as well, I want to keep them up."
Bull has elected to keep current caretakers Neil Grayson and Kevin Street until at least the end of the season as he settled into his new job.
