Waddle told Sky Sports News: "I have thrown my name in the hat. I would love the chance to take over.

"I had a good rapport with the fans when I played there and I still live in the city and go down and watch.

"I know the bulk of the squad, especially the younger ones who I had in the reserves for a year when I was there. I know their strengths and weaknesses and know what they want.

"Wednesday have got problems but they are a massive club and there will be a lot of interest in the job.

"It will be a three to four-year job to turn it around and it will need some sort of clear-out right through the club.

"They have not got a lot of money but they need to get some confidence and start playing attractive football which the fans want to see."
