Beavertown founder Logan Plant on the prospects for Wolves in the Premiership
The paras below are an extract from a Morning Advertiser interview with Beavertown founder Logan Plant on the micro-brewery (not that micro- a million pints a year) at the new Spurs Stadium.
I’m a Spurs fan but I do think Nuno, Wolves manager, has the best managerial beard in the Premiership.
I post it here simply because of the occasional social media comments that appear which claim Logan is a Spurs fan. Good to see he is sticking to his traditional football colours
What a time we are living in as Wolves fans. Our City’s motto is ‘Out of Darkness cometh light’ and that hits the nail on the head with what’s happening at Molineux. We are very lucky to have an amazing infrastructure formulating at the club.
Fosun – the owners – are very driven to succeed and in [manager] Nuno Espirito Santo’s team, we have one of the best coaching set-ups in the Europe. The investment in our youth set-up has been immense over the years so we have a very talented U18s and U23s set-up. The turnaround from two years ago has been nothing but unbelievable at the club. So in regards to Europe, bring it on! The last time we were in Europe was when I was born. Live the dream and hold on for the ride. In Nuno we trust!
I do think it will be tough this season. Nuno has recruited well and improved the squad while keeping it a tight-knit 18, backed with really young prospects like Neto and Gibbs-White. At the moment the balance between Thursday to Sunday games is going well.
I used to play and, as a player, you just want to be playing, so hopefully we can keep injury-free and keep the small squad rotating with everybody getting good game time. We’re good enough to break [into] the top six but with Europe progressing well, it may be a tough ask. However, I reckon we can go far in the Europa League. The way we play and the European experience a lot of our players have, who knows?
Do you get to many games? What’s your match-day routine?
I love football. I’m obsessed. I’m a Wolves fan through and through but I’ll watch any game with my kids on TV. We’ve been to Wembley to watch England, the new Spurs ground too. We have three season tickets still at the Molineux, the same seats for the past 35 years, so I try to get back when time permits. Last season I hit about six to seven away games as quite a few are in London where I am based with my family – who are all Wolves fans. I love going down the park with my kids in our Wolves tops on among all the Man U, Arsenal and Chelsea fans. We beat them all last year!
