Welcome to Wolverhampton Wanderers Football Club Kenny Jackett.

After probably the longest interviewing process in football history, we have finally got our new ‘Head Coach’.  What struck me about this appointment was that I have no real opinion on the new man at the helm. Yes he wasn’t my first choice – which was Steve Davis incidentally – but Jackett is someone who has quietly plied his trade in football, winning a number of admirers in doing so.

Many clambered for the likes of Owen Coyle to be brought in but I - like Jex Moxey and Steve Morgan it seems – had my reservations on that one. Partly because he looks like he’s about bring himself on at any moment during a game and partly because of his nosedive with a very decent Bolton side.

On the face of it Jackett looks like a solid appointment. At Swansea he made good progress. I’m not sure he’s the brains behind their progression into domestic cup winners like everyone seems to be clinging on to, but he did manage a promotion and a play off final in his time there. At Millwall – a dangerous club for any manager – he has made steady progress too, establishing them in the second tier once more. He also managed to make Andy Keogh somewhat prolific, a task for any manager as we all know.

Underwhelming is probably the word to describe this appointment, but not necessarily disappointing. If you are a stats man take this – at Millwall Jackett had a win percentage of over 42 across 300+ matches. We haven’t had anyone with that sort of record since Graham Taylor. The more you look into the career of this unassuming bloke, the more realise he has something about him.

But as we know, Molineux can be a real managerial graveyard. The once promising Mark McGhee knows that all too well. I can imagine Stale Solbakken’s reputation has taken a hit since his departure. Dean Saunders – the less said, the better.

We have a mountain to climb. People will go on that we are a much bigger club than the league we are in. But the stark reality is that we deserve to be there. Next season will be a culture shock. We have been plunged into a league where prehistoric football still exists – Dave Bassett is still working in some capacity at Sheffield United. It may not be pretty and it may not be instant. But I firmly believe success will come under Kenny Jackett. He has already said he will need to prove himself to the fans. But his promises of a young, vibrant and attacking Wolves side will have eased concerns.

Those three words could also be the signal of the end of an era to some of the club’s servants too. Let’s hope it is sooner rather than later.

All the talk and media soundbites mean little know. It is time for the club to roll its sleeves up and embrace the challenge ahead. Let’s hope we have the right man leading us into battle.
