Fergie: Jackett the perfect fit for Wolves

Ferguson brings his Peterborough side to Wolverhampton tomorrow aiming to repeat his side's 3-0 win there from last season that hammered a nail into Stale Solbakken's coffin before both clubs were relegated.

But Ferguson, whose side won the Johnstone's Paint Trophy last weekend by beating Paul Cook's Chesterfield 3-1 at Wembley in a battle of the two former Wolves midfield team-mates, believes they have the right man at the helm to lead them to an immediate return to the Championship.

"Kenny Jackett was a very good managerial appointment," said Ferguson.

"He knows how to get promoted from League One and he's also done well at Championship level, so he was an ideal choice for a club like Wolves who had to win promotion straight away.

"Kenny's team struggled for goals for the first half of the season, but he has some serious firepower now and it looks like they'll finish in the top two.

"That's the least where a club of that size and stature belongs, although we'll try to stop their progress tomorrow.

"There's so much history at the club and the fans were terrific.

"They still are judging by the size of the travelling support they've enjoyed this season."

Ferguson is aiming for a repeat of last year's result on his return to the club he played for between 1994 and 1999 after being one of Graham Turner's last signings with Chris Marsden.

"We were outstanding at Molineux last season - probably the best we played all season - and if we get anywhere near that standard we'll have a great chance of a victory," he said.

Ferguson made over 100 appearances for Wolves, scoring just four goals from midfield.

But he is the first to admit he wasn't a success at Molineux.

"I started badly at Wolves which didn't help me," he said.

"Graham Turner signed me but I went on to play for five managers in five years.

"It wasn't the most successful time of my career, but we did reach the play-offs twice.

"We lost in the semi-finals in 1995 to Bolton and two years later to Crystal Palace.

"I played in the Palace game when Mark McGhee was manager.

"Despite the lack of success I still enjoyed my time at the club."
