Steve Bull today won the backing of Stan Collymore as the “perfect” appointment to win his first managerial job at Stafford Rangers.
Wolves legend Bull has been approached for the Rangers hotseat as they seek a replacement for Phil Robinson, who quit in December.
Bull has no managerial experience but has always expressed a wish to manage and even said recently he’d love to become a strikers’ coach at Molineux.
Collymore, who watched and admired Bull as a Wolves apprentice before joining Stafford, believes the record Molineux goalscorer would be ideal man to lead the club forwards.
“I think he’d be perfect – he’s get bums on seats, I think the players would respect him, and he wouldn’t take any nonsense from anyone.
“I had him on my ‘Soccer Night’ programme a few weeks ago and he still has a massive enthusiasm for the game.
“And I think his contacts with clubs such as Wolves, whereby he could tap up Mick McCarthy for one or two of their younger players on loan, would make it a great move.
“I don’t think he’s have a problem with communication.
“I think there would be one or two Tipton expletives ringing through the air at Marston Road if he got the job and didn’t get his way, that’s for sure.
“I think at 42, it’s the perfect time for him to try his hand at it – if he doesn’t like it, he can always walk away or the club can sack him. He should give it a go.”
Collymore believes Bull’s record as a goalscorer means he could pass on tips to Stafford’s strikers too.

give it a shot bully its all good experience.it can only help for when you manage wolves in the future.and the way wolves r playing stafford will get quite a few wolves fans there good luck bully.
Go for it, but don’t get tied into a long contract.
There will be jobs galore at Molyneux soon if us “Whingers” get our way!
molyneux? who do you support mate?
Good luck to Bully hope he gets the job at Stafford. Here we have a man whose got his coaching badges,played for England scored over 300 goals for Wolves, has gold and black running through his veins,Wolves have had a striker crisis all season why haven’t Wolves used Bully in some sort of capacity as a couch in this department.Another question i would love to ask Jez and MM.
Sorry should have said coach.
what’s the discussion about - jobs the perfect start - if Bully wants it he wont get a better chance to show what he can do.I’m ready for Forest Green sat and i’ve never seen Stafford Rangers in my life!
Sit down Laura! There will be another one along in a mo. Go Bully! Just till the end of the season, then off to the molineux, where yow belong.
Maybe stafford rangers could hire MM as a couch? take him off our hands and i’m sure he’d be very comfortable. I like you thinking Laura. it pleases me.
Go for it Steve !! After years of pleasure watching you play ,I look foreward to your success in coaching. AND Management;
