Glenn Hoddle today insisted he would only commit himself to Wolves if he was satisfied by the club's long-term ambitions. Hoddle, whose contract expires on May 31, has already had several rounds of talks with chief executive Jez Moxey and the club's board, but has not even addressed the issue of his own salary package. And the Wolves boss insists his own terms are far from the main priority when it comes to committing himself to an extended stay in the Molineux hotseat. Hoddle will need to be convinced Wolves have a strategy in place for various eventualities, as well as being given the go-ahead to implement changes behind the scenes. "We have not even spoken about my deal, that may be something that begins next week, but that is not the most important thing," he said. "At the moment for me it's all about the ambition of the club, the ups and the downs. "I've got a good feel for the club over the six months I've been here and I'm enjoying the job immensely. "It's a big club, with a fantastic fan-base, and the training facilities when they're finished will be as good as anything in the Championship if not the Premiership. "But it would be foolish for any manager to stay just because they're enjoying it and go into a situation blindly. No-one can question this club's ambition with money out over the years but we need to know what might be available and what the attitude and strategy might be towards getting up, and then what happens if we're up. "You also have to look at what happens if the club doesn't make it in 12 months' time, that's important because the parachute payments would be gone. "There are also some internal changes I would want to do and the key at any club is for manager and chief executive or chairman to be working together and singing from the same songsheet. "There was too much politics at my last club as success can only be driven by harmony. "But I can say that Jez and the board have been very open and honest and there are certainly plenty of foundations already in place if I do stay." Hoddle has also discounted suggestions he was hoping to delay the decision-making process in order to see if any other jobs emerged at the end of the season. "If that was the case I would have said I'm not talking to the club till the end of the season," he said. |
