Five year anniversary for Wolves boss

Mick McCarthy today celebrated half a decade as Wolves manager by declaring "I would love another five years - and let's lift a major trophy."

Boss McCarthy, appointed as Glenn Hoddle's successor on 21 July 2006, is already the current fifth longest-serving boss at one Premier League club.

McCarthy is also fourth on Wolves' post-War list after the legendary Stan Cullis, Bill McGarry and Graham Turner and has his own place in club history after winning the Championship and earning a third successive season in the top flight for the first time since 1982.

And the 52-year-old said: "I want to be here for a long time. I've been here five years, but I would love another five years - that would be great.

"This is a great part of my footballing life here – it's been brilliant. I'm in touch with realism - if we could win a cup then great, but not at the expense of relegation.

"But of course we all want to win a medal – when we were kids we all dreamt of that.

"Playing in a cup final and winning it and as a manager, it's on the wishlist."
