Ex-Wolves boss Stale Solbakken hits out at the high turnover among his profession in England

Former Wolves manager Stale Solbakken has hit out at the quick turnover among his profession in the Championship.
The FC Copenhagen boss was in charge at Molineux for six months from July 2012, when he took over from Terry Connor, and he has been with his current club for just over three years.
Kevin Thelwell took charge of Wolves following Solbakken's exit and Dean Saunders, Kenny Jackett and Walter Zenga have all been in the post since.
Zenga's reign at the club ended in October after just 14 games in charge, with Rob Edwards currently in charge of the first-team.
As well as the upheaval at Wolves, four of the other nine managerial appointments in the Championship at the start of the season have already left their posts.
Roberto Di Matteo was sacked by Aston Villa, Paul Trollope parted company with Cardiff, Rotherham dismissed Alan Stubbs and Nigel Pearson left Derby.
Speaking ahead of his team's Champions League clash with Leicester on Wednesday, Solbakken was scathing of the sacking culture which appears to exist in the league and with his old club.
"I'm the longest there I think of the last four managers," Solbakken said. "I'm getting better and better every week. I think Terry Connor stepped in and Dean Saunders went around.
"I wasn't that bad. You were after me in England but now you can see it wasn't that bad.
"I've seen so many brainless Championship games, both live and on the bench of the Championship, and if you take that job, if you are so stupid that you take a job there then you also have to take the blame."
