Sir Jack can take some of the pressure of Sir Bobby with the media comments as such

"Welcome To The Premiership, Sir Jack
Wolves’ elevation to the top flight gives us the joy of millionaire owner and all-round loon Sir Jack Hayward – and we suspect that he may become a firm friend of Mediawatch in months to come. Here are just some of the highlights from his reaction to the Millennium Stadium win in the Express and Star:
Sir Jack re-writes history: "It might sink in soon, but I don't know how I'm going to celebrate - I don't like French champagne and don't drink French products, so I might have a glass of red wine - South African, New Zealand, Australian or Chilean - anything from the Empire!"
Sir Jack’s multiple personality: "I wasn't emotional at all, I never felt like crying at all, I'm almost crying now but the handkerchief's fine!"
Sir Jack shows off his vocabulary: "When you're born within 300 yards of Molineux and you can smell the embrocation, you are a Molineux boy, but you sometimes let things go overboard, which I did - but it's paid off.”
(Embrocation, by the way, is ‘liniment or lotion’. And yes, we did have to look it up.)
Sir Jack reveals all: "I'm patient because I'm mad.”
Sir Jack sets his sights low: "We will obviously want to beat the likes of Manchester United and Arsenal 6-0 and take the League championship trophy at the end of the season - have I said the wrong thing? You don't think it will inspire them to fight back?”"
