Lescott urges Wolves to spend

Lescott, who left Molineux to join Everton for £5million in 2006 after making 235 appearances for the club, was part of the last Wolves squad to win promotion to the top flight in 2003. Although he missed the Premier League campaign through injury, the England centre-back feels a failure to strengthen the playing staff was the main reason Wolves finished bottom and endured an immediate return to the second tier. "At the time we got promoted we had a lot of experience in there, but the squad was not backed up as we thought it would be and we didn't look to progress," he told the Express & Star "We thought we had enough, obviously we didn't. "But now Wolves have a new squad and hopefully this bunch of players is younger and fresher and will be good enough to stay up. "When the fixtures come out in the next couple of weeks the Wolves games will be the first I look for. I can't wait for the day we play Wolves and I am hoping I will get a warm reception from the fans."
