Kenny Jackett is eager on pushing Wolverhampton Wanderers to the Premier League and one of his motivations of making this happen is the fact that if he manages to accomplish it, it would be the first time he gets a team into the Premier League as a manager.

“I’d love to do it, personally. I’ve been in a coaching capacity in the Premier League at two clubs, Manchester City and Watford but not as a manager. I’ve been in every other division. The Premier League is where everybody wants to be. I’m pleased to be in the Championship with Wolves and we’re very much looking for one of those three promotion places. We’re certainly not underestimating the size of the task.” Kenny Jackett told reporters.

Wolverhampton Wanderers snatched the 7th spot of the English Championship League in the previous season as they went through an impressive season and are one of the candidates of snatching a top spot.

The first league match of Wolverhampton of the upcoming season is scheduled to take place at Ewood Park as Kenny Jackett and his men face off with Blackburn Rovers.

Steve Davies of Crewe Alexandra revealed details concerning the outgoing as the manager said: “I have always got on well with him and had a good working relationship with him. I have spoken to him since; he rang me to pass on his thanks to all the staff at the football club. He has been here a long time it was a wrench to leave the club that has been a secure place for him where he has spent a lot of his life.’’

“He will be missed around the place, he’s a good player, but Shrewsbury offered him a deal that we couldn’t match both in terms of money and length of contract, we couldn’t compete. It was his decision, we left it with him after making him an offer but he has gone with the deal that Shrewsbury put to him’’ Continue reading “Crewe Alexandra couldn’t keep hold of Matt Tootle as he signed for Shrewsbury Town”

Crewe Alexandra go into the weekend’s match against Scunthorpe United looking to get away from the bottom of the table before Christmas.

The team has been on a wretched run of form since the start of the season. Their last victory in the league came towards the end of October. Since then, Steven Davies has been unable to get anything other than draws and defeats from his team.

He, however, is happy with the fact that he has a fully fit squad at his disposal for the tough match against Scunthorpe. Ryan Colclough is the only player who will not be available from the Crewe Alexandra squad for this match. Continue reading “Crewe Alexandra play against Scunthorpe United”
