Steve Bull: We all need to get behind new Wolves boss Cesar Peixoto

But it was the same when Nuno Espirito Santo arrived nine years ago and look how that turned out. We gave him a chance and he grasped it with both hands and did very well for the club.

Fingers crossed Cesar can come in and repeat the trick. I’m certainly looking forward to meeting him in person when pre-season kicks off and wishing him all the best.

Any manager or head coach is going to need help in the transfer market. It would be lovely to go into a season knowing who is going and who is staying, so he knows exactly what he has to work with.

I was pleased to hear the new boss had made contact with Kieran Trippier. You are going to hear rumours all day long and I’ve no doubt Rob Edwards played a big role in convincing Trippier to sign.

But when you join any club, you don’t just join because of the manager. Wolves is still a big draw and the challenge of helping us get out of the Championship is one which will excite many players.

Away from Molineux, I was very impressed with England’s start to the World Cup.

The first half performance against Croatia was, admittedly, lacking a little in intensity. It was clear they’d had a bit of a telling off at half-time because we went out in the second half and really had a go.

Some of the football played in that period immediately after the break was excellent.

I was watching it thinking we have a really strong side and the encouraging thing was the players coming off the bench were just as good as those already on the field.

Thomas Tuchel does not look like a manager who is afraid to make mistakes. Some of the substitutions seemed strange at first - but they worked.

I genuinely think we could surprise a few teams. My feeling before the match was England needed to go out and make a statement to the other contenders. I think the performance was the kind which will have made a few sit up and pay attention.

It’s a long tournament and important everyone stays together. That’s what we did in 1990 and it took us a long way. Wednesday night was only the start for this England side but it was encouraging. Here’s hoping they can follow it up against Ghana next week.
