Leicester City caretaker manager Rob Kelly is a contender for the Wolves job if Glenn Hoddle leaves. (Times)
But a post from another forum sums my feelings up perfectly:
"National news organisations have not been too clever in recent months with their usually unsubstantiated and often illogical rumours about what might happen at Leicester City.
Now according to The Times Leicester City caretaker manager Rob Kelly is a contender for the Wolves job if Glenn Hoddle leaves.
Insomuch as all sorts of people would be contenders and might wish to apply and listen to what the Wolves had to offer, I am quite sure Kelly might be temped, but that's all.
He hails from the West Midlands, was an aspiring journalist on the Wolverhampton Express and Star and has already worked at the club - he would be an attractive candidate.
But Kelly is also a man of singular common sense and a man who doesn't like letting people down, or vice versa.
It is the players at Leicester City who have done so much to champion his managerial cause and the players who have earned him 24 points in 12 championship games with their outstandingly consistent and hardworking performances.
Is he seriously going to simply turn round to them and say, thanks lads. You've done me proud. You've made my name, seeya?.
I wouldn't. I would be indebted to the players.
There is no way that I would show my gratitude by turning my backs on them.
Kelly might have shaped and organised the side to function as an effective unit. But those players, irrespective of their limitations, have gone out week by week and given 100 per cent.
Not just the odd one but all of them.
They stuck their heads above the parapet in pleading with the Board to give him the job in the first place.
His newly elevated status is down to their efforts and their willingness to focus so single-mindedly on the job.
If he leaves them at this stage he will less of a man than I think he is."
