Morgan targets Europe

Thursday 9th August 2007, 3:13PM BST.

morgansirjack.jpgSteve Morgan today kick started a new Molineux era by declaring: “We want to be a top six club”.

The property magnate officially started work at Wolves today with a bold statement of Premiership intent – and the vision of restoring the club to the glory days of the vintage Old Gold era.

He believes that Wolves can aspire to be as big as his boyhood club Liverpool – and has pledged to use his £30m investment to build a legacy to do previous owner Sir Jack Hayward proud.

“It is my great privilege and pleasure to succeed Sir Jack as the new owner of this famous club and I thank him sincerely for his trust in me.

morgansirjack.jpgSteve Morgan today kick started a new Molineux era by declaring: “We want to be a top six club”.

The property magnate officially started work at Wolves today with a bold statement of Premiership intent – and the vision of restoring the club to the glory days of the vintage Old Gold era.

He believes that Wolves can aspire to be as big as his boyhood club Liverpool – and has pledged to use his £30m investment to build a legacy to do previous owner Sir Jack Hayward proud.

“It is my great privilege and pleasure to succeed Sir Jack as the new owner of this famous club and I thank him sincerely for his trust in me.

“I will work tirelessly alongside Jez and the Board, the backroom team and Mick and the players to do my very best for Wolves.

“We will continue to build on the current strategy of steadily and progressively developing a team of young, hungry and talented players.

“Nothing would give me greater pleasure than to play my part in re-establishing Wolves as one of the top teams in the land.

“The loyal fans of this great club deserve nothing less.”

Die-hard Liverpool fan Morgan today heralded his switch of allegiance to the Old Gold of Wolves by insisting: “I can’t wait to thrash them.”

The Cheshire-based millionaire has had a “heart transplant” that has shifted his allegiances to Wolves from the Merseyside giants.

“I would be absolutely delighted to have Liverpool come to Molineux and to see them get thrashed,” said Morgan.

“When I was a kid Wolves were the top team in the country, in 1960 I remember them beating Blackburn 3-0 in the Cup final – even though I was a football mad kid in very, very short trousers at the time.

“It’s ironic that Liverpool were the underdogs at the time because they were in the second division.

“If you support a top team you have a second team lower in the divisions; if you support a team in the lower divisions you have a pet top team and Wolves were my pet top team so I’ve always, always had a soft spot for Wolves.”

    I would like to take this opportunity to welcome Steve Morgan , officially , to Wolves . I am sure that he will be a major benefit to the club and will help guide us back to the premiership where we rightly belong . However , I also feel that we are extremely fortunate to have had such a wonderful benefactor as Sir Jack Hayward for without him I doubt that we would have even had a football team in Wolverhampton . Many many thanks Sir Jack and may your health improve soon . Please keep coming to Molineux we genuinely look forward to seeing you there .
    Wolves forever .

    Thanks Sir Jack and welcome Mr Morgan! Hope Wolves go foward now and fulfill the dreams of all their fans, local and worldwide, that is to cement a place in the Premier League.
    In the past Wolves had decent teams but regardless of some very good players as a team they were not capable of going up.
    Now I hope that Mick McCarthy will do a `Sunderland` and take Wolves up at the second attempt as he did at the Stadium of Light.
    Best wishes for the new season and for the future to all those connected to Molineux.

    Yes, thanks to Jack for his money and support that improved the ground and training facilities.

    But let’s get this perspective. He didn’t put wolves back on the map, we were in this division when he bought the club and we have spent 25 of the last 26 seasons in this division.

    I’d like to see Graham Turner, the Gallaghers, the Council and all the others who brought the club back from the brink in the 80s get more credit.

    And all you lot who are already going on about promotion: keep up the spirit of last year.

    Hey Baggie! Good to read a friendly message from a baggie fan for once, I’ve never understood the rivalry mentality myself and never had the desire to hurt anyone’s pride in their club so I thank you for your respect.
    However, with that said please don’t assume that it’s only the wolves fans that are always posting on the WBA news sections because WBA fans are always posting over here with insults and unfriendly banter. More often than not the Wolves fans retaliate in the Baggies’ sections after being harrassed by Albion supporters who laugh at Matt Murray being injured again, quite sick to be honest considering Murray has never been the subject of rivalry.

    Furthermore, I’ve never replied to a WBA news article and I never plan to unless I feel it relevent to me but I do appreciate you and any other rival fans, Wolves or WBA that can support one another or at least hold off their hostilities in favour of maintaining their pride not in their regional clubs, but in Midlands’ football as a whole.

    Yes, at last a positive move. Let’s watch and see what he can achieve. Remember so far he hasn’t spent anything over his 10 quid. Hopefully he will take 100% control and the make team what it deserves to be. What the fans deserve. Sir Jack is a nice old gent, but lets not lose track with emotion of his major failings. NOT supporting the team when we last reached the premiership. This was HIS team to keep up there. He didn’t invest when he had the chance. Quite the opposite, he got his money back as it came in because of the tv rights and other bonus’ that came along. Bought no new players and we were as expected relegated. Since that relegation, no real money entered the team other than the 7 mil balloon payment and sale of most of the quality players. Where did that go Sir Jack? To be its good ridance to him and onward with someone who hopefully can make this a premiership team. Shame he has decided to keep Moxey, well hopefully he will figure out and find a proper CEO for the team. I look forward to the change. Never believed it would happen, comes from all the lies that Moxey has laid on us for years. One more change and I think we have a solid operation, Moxey start packing…

    Lets face it Everything goes ’round in cycles 5 years back Chelsea had won about the same as us and look where a mass of investment has got them, or look at Leeds now in league 1 whereas 5 years back they were in Europe, Reading & Wigan small fan base now with decent Prem Teams (not so much Wigan now but..). We will be a Sucessful team once more like we were in the 50s 60s & 70s. These things take time though and for Morgan to make such a bold statement, you can tell he means business. We should be aiming for a top two this season and I don’t care what anyone says, non promotion is not an option. Though I Think the Best thing we can do as fans is let McCarthy and Morgan do their thing and support any future aquisitions, and also current players like Gray who seemed to have been judged before they’ve even kicked a ball. it’s all looking good for us all be it the loss of murray :( but I’m sick of hearing un-loyal fans talk rubbish, just get behind the team, as we can be the 12th man and get out of this damn division!

    Quality Counts is spot on!
    Instead of insulting him, here are some questions that the SJH is God crowd never respond too.
    Where was SJH when the Bhattis came in to ‘save’ the Wolves? Fiddling whilst Rome burnt!
    Who saved the site and club for the Wolves when we were in Division 4? John Bird, (Wolverhampton Council), Dick Holmes and Jack Harris plus Asda. SJH joined the Board as an Honorary President/Chairman.
    Who built the ground? SJH built two stands (not 4!) and put new seats and toilets plus catering in the Steve Bull. The national govt paid for the South Bank in a Public Private Finance Initiative.
    When was the training ground complex built? Far too late ie after our competitors.
    What about the team? 16 years of Division 2 plus one in the Prem is nothing to be proud of.
    If you think he saved us then how?
    Check out what has happened to the likes of Bolton, Reading, Middlesboro, Wigan and Leicester and think again!
    Reality check please SJH fans.

    We all know what Sir Jack did to Wolves. But please let`s not be carried away by changing the name Molineux Stadium to Sir Jack Hayward Stadium.
    There are other means to remember Sir Jack, say a Statue or a Wall outside the stadium. But please leave the name of the stadium intact as it is synonimus with Wolves and remember we are this year celebrating the 130 anniversary since the founding of the club.

    Ha Ha Ha. Not exactly Roman Abramovich is he? £30m over 400years wont exactly have Fergie worried now will it?
    Anyway isnt he an armchair Liverpool fan who had never heard of the Dingles until a couple of months ago, and he is only interested now because he can’t afford Walsall!
    Could have spent his tenner better in Asda over the road!

    Wow I get knocked again! Sorry should have said parachute payments not balloon. They look the same to me sorta!

    Sir Jack did wonders, I saw it all. Just check and see where Dave Jones got us? and the following year? did someone forget that? think this weekend when we have Watford to contend with!

    If you owned the club and really cared about the fans and had millions in the bank, as Sir Jack has, wouldn’t you do everything possible to stay up? For sure you would have! Sir Jack did lots, but he let us all down by not investing in the clubs future in the Premiership… can anyone argue that point?

    Maybe Morgan can do wonders, as regards “overseeing the 4m spent”, anyone could oversee without spending it! All stayed in Morgans pocket, money game from sales of our quality players like Miller and Lecsott. Couldn’t we do them for Saturday?

    I see HUMPY BOGGIE is on here again pedling his vile comments,GO back to your slum in sandwell nit head, you have nothing constructive to say, just a load of rubbish picked up out of the gutter where you live. when you finally grow up into a teenager, you might have a bit of brain, but at the moment, you’ve got nothing between your ears,(except sawdust)so take your irritating drivel back to BOGLAND. STUPID.

    DUDLEY WOLF (94) – you are without doubt the nastiest little creep on these posts… you are constantly on all the pages sending a load of personal abuse at me. Very big of you on a web forum.

    You say I peddle vile comments – most wolves fans will see I only post a bit of fun. I may take the mick but i aint nasty.
    Now lets look at your post.. Saying sandwell is a slum..
    nit head (how childish is THAT)
    Live in the gutter
    etc etc etc…there is more on all the other pages too.

    I cant believe the E&S moderators continue to print this type of agressive nonsense on what is a football forum.

    Hopefully someone at the paper will read this and ensure that your hatred is censored.. its people like you that give ALL wolves fans a bad name, and thats a shame because people like Bojangles, Funkster london, Prawn sandwich and quality counts etc do not deserve to be labelled with you.

    maybe some right thinking wolves fans would like to comment.

    Lets NOT rename the Molineux Stadium. That grounds holds the clubs History and defines the club, Sir Jack’s tenure is PART of that history and does not define the club.

    Keep Molineux, I’m sure Sir jack would agree.

    Just the sort of creeping answer I would expect from a twisted little twit like you. back stabber.Some of your own comments are below the belt,so please don’t go on about mine, or other WOLVES FANS comments
    If you can’t take the heat, go back to your own pages. I have in the past tried to have decent raport with you but in return have received nothing but infantile name calling. Once again I say, LET THE SEASON BEGIN WITH PROPER BANTER.and not the stupid name calling you have been using on ALL your posts. WOLVES WILL BE CHAMPIONS!!

    No name calling – twisted little twit / back stabber ?

    You can’t even be sanctimonious can you…
    (thats not name calling – look it up).

    I can take all the heat you like, but I refuse to take your nasty little personal comments.

    Anyway, I feel I have wasted enough time on you now, so you can leave your trail of bile where ever you like – you will just be ignored like the non-entity you are from now on.
