Former Wolves manager Stale Solbakken blasts 'brainless' Championship

Stale Solbakken has dismissed the majority of football in the Championship as "brainless" and claims his six-month tenure as Wolves boss now "looks better and better every week".

The Norwegian took charge of just 30 games before being axed in January 2013 but believes his time at Molineux now looks nowhere near as bad in retrospect.

"I think I managed there for longer than the last four bosses. I am getting better and better every week, maybe I wasn't that bad at all!" joked Solbakken, who is now boss of FC Copenhagen. His successor at Molineux, Dean Saunders, lasted just 20 games, while Wolves are searching for another new boss following Walter Zenga's dismissal last week, after just 17 games in charge.

Solbakken aimed a dig at former Wolves owner Steve Morgan when he added: "In the Championship if you take that job and you are so stupid to take a job there you also have to take the blame. I wouldn't do it again. This is not a Steve Morgan press conference but I am happy not to have to look into his IPad anymore to watch players."

He went on: "It's a difficult league to be a manager. I have seen so many brainless games there."
