Wolves end Solbakken reign

Struggling Wolves have sacked manager Stale Solbakken following their shock 1-0 FA Cup third round defeat at non-league Luton Town.

The Molineux outfit are also currently down in 18th place in the Championship, having lost five of their last six games in all competitions.

A short statement from the Molineux club read: "We are currently 18th in the Championship and have won three out of the last 16 league games after a hugely disappointing run of performances and results, culminating in Saturday's FA Cup third round defeat to Luton Town."

An Alex Lawless strike gave Luton a famous victory on Saturday and brought the curtain down on Solbakken's reign after just six months.

The Norwegian won only ten of his 30 games in charge of Wolves, with Solbakken having joined in the summer following the club's relegation from the Premier League.

A defiant Solbakken had said after the reverse at Kenilworth Road: "There will be a lot of questions over me.

"But that is normal, that's football and I have to take that, it's no problem. I can put it right."

Wolves are back in action on Friday evening when they play host to Blackburn and they are 7/5 to win that game, with the draw 12/5 and a Rovers victory 15/8.
