Crewe Alexandra's last hope?

...the newspaper's back page story read. Crewe Alexandra one of the greatest youth academies in the world. Unfortunately this team had only be able to create top class players but not use them for success. Dario Gradi has left a lasting legacy at Crewe, but with recent manager Steve Davis moving abroad for greener pastures, Crewe are looking to fill the managerial gap. This is where are story begins...


After being exiled from his homeland following run ins with the law and alcohol and drug abuse, The Big Bad Wolf was looking for a clean slate, a second chance at life, vowing not to waste it any longer. Wolf began pursuing his dream of football management, earning coaching qualifications and looking for anywhere to get a foot in the door. Wolf was ambitious, but knew that he... "ring ring, ring ring"

Wolf: Hello?

John Bowler: Hello, this is Crewe Alexandra chairman John Bowler, we would like to discuss the possibility of you providing your services for Crewe this upcoming season.

Wolf: Oh.. of course I mean anything, scouting, player coachi-

John Bowler: We were thinking more along the lines of managing the current team. We know this is out of the blue, but we are looking for an ambitious manager with a different perspective to help Crewe climb the ladder of success in football. We also are looking for a manager who is cheap, very cheap.

Wolf: Yes, yes, an opportunity is all I'm looking for, I promise you it will be worth your while.


John Bowler: I hope so...


Inexperienced Wolf takes charge at Crewe

It is official, Crewe Alexandra have announced that Wolf will now be managing Crewe; with no previous managerial experience, this looks like a risky move by Crewe but we'll let time be the teller of this decision by Crewe.
