Curbishley throws his hat into ring for Wolves vacancy

Former Charlton and West Ham boss Alan Curbishley is interested in the vacant managerial post at Wolves.

Curbishley is among those being mentioned as a possible contender for the post following the sacking of Mick McCarthy.

Asked if he would be interested in speaking to Wolves owner Steve Morgan about the position, Curbishley told Sky Sports News HD: "If I get a phone call, then I'll speak to him. I have always said that I wanted to go back into the Premier League.

"I have had opportunities to go back since I have been out of the game. The Premier League is for me, I think my record stands up. It's just that I have been out of the game for some time now."

"Looking at what's going on down at the bottom, it looks like it's three teams from five," said Curbishley when asked to give his take on the battle to avoid the drop.

"Perhaps another club could get dragged into it, but it's three teams from five.

"You need to put together two or three wins to jump out of it. Those wins might come in the last couple of games, so when that trapdoor closes you're out. That's what happened to Wolves last year, to survive on the last day, so it's not over.

"But it's going to be tough because once you're down there, the players aren't playing with the confidence you would like them to have and the supporters haven't got the confidence. That's got to change."
