Wolves not about to plan Euro trip

WOLVES skipper Conor Coady insists all talk of getting into Europe is crazy.

But after just 19 games, the loan was cut short and he spent a season at Marseille before returning to England with Sunderland and then Newcastle.

He still has fond memories of his time on Merseyside, however. “In hindsight, was I
