Molineux boss admits he does not know if he will be kept on at the end of the season but insists he has no regrets over succeeding Mick McCarthy despite the "challenge" ahead
Wolves manager Terry Connor has admitted he is unsure if he will be kept on as manager at Molineux beyond the end of the season.The Midlands side are yet to win under Mick McCarthy's former assistant and he spoke of his precarious predicament despite having been at the club for over a decade.
Connor told reporters: "It is kind of strange when people say your future rests on 13 games, after 13 years here, but I knew when I took over that would be the case and I welcome the challenge.
"I've taken over until May 13. I'm a big boy, I know the score in football, I know what happens. I went in with my eyes wide open.
"People ask if it was the biggest risk I've ever taken and I say 'no' because I think I can do the job. How I am judged after the 13 games is down to the club and what they want to do in the future.
"I felt ready to take on that challenge and I've enjoyed every minute. Whether I still have a job, you will have to ask the club."
Connor also admitted that his side face a "challenge" to stay up as they sit rooted to the bottom of the Premeir League but hopes they can show a good spirit as they fight for survival.
"We just have to keep playing in the manner and spirit we showed against Arsenal for the next five games and, wherever we end up, we'll accept it," he continued.
"We've won one game in 18 so, if you are asking me if we can win five out of five I'm saying that is the challenge.
"But you know that would be a tall order for even Manchester United, Manchester City, Chelsea or Arsenal to achieve.
"It's imperative we stay positive and the players showed against Arsenal that they are not prepared to roll over and accept defeat.
"That's the way the players are, the way I am. All I can ask is they play with that same spirit and determination for the next five games and, if we do that, you can have no comebacks."
