Mick McCarthy eyes top 10 for Wolves
Tuesday 26th July 2011, 4:15PM BST.
Wolves manager Mick McCarthy aims to have the club as a top 10 Premier League outfit in the next five years.
The 52-year-old celebrated his fifth anniversary in charge last Thursday and immediately pledged his desire to stay in the job for another half a decade – and hopefully win a major trophy.
The Wolves boss is now the eighth longest-serving manager in the country and the fifth in the Premier League after Sir Alex Ferguson, Arsene Wenger, David Moyes and Tony Pulis.
And McCarthy wants to emulate some of the success of his peers by getting Wolves in the top half of the Premier League.
He said: “I would still like to be sat here in five years’ time but with us as a solid team performing in the Premier League – a top 10 club and upwards.
“Is that a possibility with a new stadium that’s being built and, potentially, a new training ground for the academy?
“It would be great to be a part of that if I’m still here and we’re still a Premier League club – that’s got to be the aim.”
