Ten days into their search for a new manager Wolves took the old fashioned route and promoted from within by handing the bosses tracksuit to coach Terry Connor.
Had this been the plan all along with Morgan & Moxey using the media in the classic smoke and mirrors ruse or did they just run out of options after seemingly being turned down by everyone from bookies favourite Alan Curbishley all the way through to Muffin The Mule?
I doubt if we'll ever know.
TC has been at the club nearly thirteen years as a coach and seen off four managers before landing the role of Top dog.Or Top Cat if you prefer.
TC and Top Cat. Separated at birth?
By all accounts he's well respected within the game as a coach.Something many fans are unaware of.It may take Wolves fans a while to come round to him as nothing more than "Clipboard" his rather unflattering nickname among us fans.But he's Wolves boss now and the team needs our support in these troubled times.
So what else do we know about TC?
Born in Leeds in 1962 he played for his hometown club,Scoring the winner on his debut V West Brom(It was fate i tells ya) before going on a journey of the south coast with Brighton & Pompey.
He then worked for both Bristol clubs & Swansea before John Ward bought him to Wolves in 1999.
Will this work out? Of course i have no idea.But he knows the players and the word is they respond to him.He may well have some new ways of doing things which he can implement as boss but was'nt allowed to as coach.Word is that the second half comeback at QPR recently was down to his suggestions on how to change things...
On radio 5 today an ex painter of Subbuteo figures at Waddingtons rang in to say TC was the model for the first black figure to be included in the England Subbuteo team...Now there's a thing.
Not TC.Possibly Billy Wright
So on the eve of TC's first game in charge it would be remiss of me not to wish him and the team all the luck for the rest of the season and finish with the only appropriate song;All together now...
Top Cat
The most effectual Top Cat
Who's close friends get to call him T.C.
Providing it's with dignity
Top Cat
The indisputable leader of the gang
He's the boss
he's the VIP
He's the champ
He's the most tip top-Top Cat
Yes he's the chief
He's the king but above everything
He's the most tip top-Top Cat!

Don't forget Top Cat is also sort of based on Bilko and he always came out on top as well !
