Terry Connor says that he is determined to keep Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Premier League.

Terry Connor has claimed that he feels "privileged" to be named Wolverhampton Wanderers manager until the end of the season.

The 49-year-old was promoted to the head coaching role today following the Premier League club's failure to land a permanent boss a week after sacking Mick McCarthy.

"It is an honour and a privilege to be asked to be Wolves manager between now and the end of the season," said Connor. "Myself and the players feel we have unfinished business and want to keep this club in the Premier League.

"I've told the players to take things one game at a time. Let's get through Saturday [against Newcastle] then look to move on to Fulham. The challenge I've got is to keep the side up with 13 games remaining."

Connor, who has a wealth of experience and was assistant manager to McCarthy, has insisted that his style will differ from Wolves' former boss.

"I've known Mick [McCarthy] for a number of years," he added. "We couldn't be more different in our approach to certain things. Mick has his own way and I've got mine."

Connor was appointed following Wolves' reported discussions with Alan Curbishley, Walter Smith and Steve Bruce.
