Andy Keogh has continued the ‘Molineux factor’ debate by saying ‘We will win promotion for the real fans’ next season.
Chief executive Jez Moxey admitted last week ‘dealing with the Wolverhampton Wanderers factor is an issue’ in reference to the expectations of supporters starved of success.
The Irish striker wants to reward the fans who have stood by the club.
“If some fans aren’t happy and want to have a moan, there’s nothing we can do about it,” said Keogh. “We’re mentally tough, we’ll do it for the people cheering us and want us to do well.
“They are the real supporters, the ones that stick by you through anything, not the ones whose mood is determined by whichever way the season is going.
“Hopefully the whole crowd will realise we don’t go out there not to do well, we go out there to do our best for them.
“It’s such a tough league and no one has a divine right to do anything.
“You could maybe understand the moans and groans if we were struggling but we were pushing to the end. We’ll come back stronger next season.”
Moxey said: “Dealing with the ‘Wolverhampton Wanderers factor’ is an issue and we’re very conscious of that right now.
“We’ve got to make sure the players know how to deal with it, which is part of Mick’s job.
“By and large the fans have been brilliant. But I want them to understand there’s something dealing with us that’s a tangible factor we need to think about.
“We’re expecting them to be 100 per cent behind us again next year.”
Wolves’ efforts to rejoin the elite see them up against Reading and Birmingham who joined Derby is being relegated from the Premier League yesterday.
But although Mick McCarthy’s emerging young team will be among the favourites, Keogh is happy to shoulder the burden.
“That doesn’t matter to us, whether we’re favourites or not,” he said.
“We know what’s required, we know we have the squad capable of getting promotion and that’s what we’ll be trying to do.”

we’ve heard it all before,so yeh,yeh,of course we will.
It just gets worse, get over it Keogh if you perform badly which you did more times than not what do you expect? Real fans of WWFC aren’t just the blinkered ones who agree with every decsion MM makes or the way the team plays. When we lost at home to Soton int he previous season the whole stadium was behind the team because of the standard of football we were producing and the progression the team was makingand that this was a one off bizarre match. This season has been completely different performances have been montonous te quality of football poor and the skill level shown by you and most of your colleagues less than we have come to expect.
I second that captain oates
Iv been goin to matches for the past 14 years mate and you KEOGH are one of the most useless strikers we’v had at the club!! Maybe you shud shut it and spend more time on the training ground practising your shooting!
You run round the pitch half the time running like a headless chicken with little or no end finish!
Until you do something impressive,keep your mouth shut!
shut up Andy! 20 years as a ST holder, 1 year in the prem, 19 years in Division 2 and stubborn Mick as manager, picking donkeys like collins, ward elliot and Kyle, yes i am entitled to moan, but am still a real fan!
Fair comment! I have not been convinced by MM this season and have taken the occation swipe. This has had nothing to do with the players effort I believe they gave 100%. My main frustration has been they way he treats the fans. The “i couldn’t care less what they say” attitude is very destructive and i believe it has developed into a mexican stand off for some sections of the crowd.
How dare this person comment on “real supporters”
I have followed Wolves since 1970 and its hard work. Are we expected to blindly cheer poor play. Come on Andy, get real. We pay our money and have our point of view. If you perform badly at work you will be told about it. Some supporters are more knowledgable about the game than you think young man and we deserve a little more respect
Taxi for McCarthy
“we deserve a little more respect” - so do the players, how would you feel getting booed after 15 minutes of your job! Maybe they would respond to encouragement, sure everyone else does!
Get real we are at least 12 years away from a decent team
I am amazed he has come here talking about real fans. I could accept a legend like Bull warrant these comments, but this wouldn’t have entertained his thoughts. How dare a bit piece wolves player for 2 seasons blurt these out in the public.
yes thats it andy its all our fault,we would of walked that league if it wasnt for the 23 thousands fans who spend all our disposable income on following you. sorry about that,
there, feel better now?
Captain Oates i agree with you, that’s twice in 2 posts. If this wind up of fans continue even i will be booing next year and i’ve never done it.
Keough & co get paid thousands a week to do something they enjoy with very little come back. The average fan probably forks out an average of 5% of there 5 day a week plus overtime wage to watch you. Most of the time they will support and when it’s needed some will vent there frustrations. Dont dare accuse people of being not real fans. Remember you will be gone why were still watching.
I could understand a legend like Bully warranting these sort of comments, but I doubt these comments would have entertained his thought. How dare a bit piece wolves player for 2 seasons publicy having a go at real fans. “Booing” is not what we real fans like to do, just that the way we were treated by the manager and some players was the only way we could get heard. Sometimes it is better to be just shut up than to say anything at all.
The poor home form of the Wolves this season is a reflection of how sections of the crowd get on their backs when things aren’t going their way. They’re a bit like England fans. Inflated expectations, quick to criticise and unwilling to support the players and the manager through hard times. Hopefully this bunch of young players are strong enough to realise that the majority are fully behind them. This isn’t blind support, this is someone who can see the makings of a very good team coming togeter.
Up the Wolves.
Keogh is Michael Branch in disguise.Enough said.
Keogh, I’ve been a fan since Ronnie Allen was manager. I am a real fan. You are just a transient.
Neither you nor your manager are good enough for my club. When HE (eventually) goes, you will not long follow.
Good for you Mr Keogh. Just make sure you deliver.
Up the Wolves!!
This is straight from the MM school of insults & drivel! We have expectations & we have been in the top flight once since the mid eighties so when we get dished up the dross of the last 12 months we have a right to our opinion!!! If you don’t like the expectation Keogh CLEAR OFF!!!!
WELL SAID ANDY KEOGH!
You see Keogh, this is half of the problem, you and many of the other players seem to think you are much better than you are and that next season, you only have to turn up and the other teams will lie down for you!
Sorry Keogh, YOU ARE WRONG!!!
This club needs a different kind of ethic to achieve the promotion which all Wolves fans think we should be capable of achieving BUT we need players who do their talking on the pitch NOT off it!
It is very easy to talk a good game but why then when the talking stops and the play begins are we always the team that ‘bottles it’ come the end of each season?
Prove to us all Keogh that the team has what it takes to gain promotion, THEN AND ONLY THEN can players like you ‘have a go’ at the fans!
Think yourself lucky, you could still be at Scunthorpe and where are they now?
guess whos going to get a booing ! keogh and collegues shut up! we watch teh same dross week in week out!
2 things Keogh…
(1) Talk is cheap… the fans would prefer the players to do their talking on the pitch and not in the press.
(2) Take a long hard look at your own performances. The simple chances you missed are the one of the reasons why whe didn’t make the play-offs
someone has to stop this total lack of respect towards fans coming from mick and his players. like captain oates (2) said wen we got thumped six nil by soton we cheered them to the end because they didnt deserve that and the had earnt our respect that season. this year has been terrible in terms of quality and although i like andy keogh mick mccarthy and his players are here to entertain us (the fans) and bring success to this club which wudnt exist with out us (the fans). in fairness we are a bunch of miserable whingers that could to more to get behind the team at times but if mccarthy is going to talk about automatic promotion at the beginning of the season he has to show a team that look at least capable of competing or expect us to be disapointed!
Another PR master stroke i see, do players these days live in the real world??
Sory but fans are entitled to an opinion, how much does it cost to support your team, season ticket £300 (cheapest option) , new shirt £40, each games travelling and expenses (beer) £50, thats £2300 a season. Total £2640, this guy gets more than that a week whether he is good or bad, then he thinks he can have a go at the fans who moan that the team do not deliver the goods.
Players are so far removed from our lives its upsetting, if i was Morgan i would put a gaggin order on Mick, Moxey, and the players, anymore bad PR and the season tickets will start going back rather than being sold, and thats from a baggies fan!!
I´m with you Andy! I´m convinced you have given 100% and will continue to do so.
While i agree that this seasons football has been poor at times and that MM has made a couple of zany decisions, i think we should look on the positives for next season…
1. Getting rid of all that expendable, dead weight talent is a step in the right direction, for different reasons all of those on the transfer list have little left to offer wolves
2. Although im an admirer of Eastwood, the debate is doing nobody any good, he doesnt fit in with MMs plan and we are right to cash in on him when we can still get a good price
3. Having Kightly and Jarvis play a full season together has got to encourage even the most pessimistic wolves fan, ditto a full season of SEB
4. At least Morgan is not one of these trigger happy chairmen, who we all know are no good for any club, if we fail next season wel know MM is not the man for our job, but its best to know than to have another Graeme Taylor type regret
How dare KEOGH question supporters views who the hell does he think he is. I have been supporting Wolves for over 30 years and have been a season ticket holder for the past 20 of them. If I wish to criticise or question the teams poor performances or tactics I will do so. Just remember it’s us true supporters who pay your wages, So put up or shut up !
Are the Club and the E&S just trying to wind people up. I can see that in some cases both sides have valid arguments but I for one am sick to the back teeth of every day MM or one of the players coming out in paper and saying (next year we will do it, or the fans Boo and we can’t take it) You all get paid to cope with this sort of pressure so get over yourselves and do your talking on the pitch not in the papers.
The club is embarking on a fantastic PR campaign to bring the players, the manager and the fans together for next season…not!
I am on my 24th season ticket and do 80% of away games and as a right should be allowed to voice concerns, criticisms, praise and opinions.
My message to the management and players is shut up and look at your own failings before passing the buck and criticising the people who put in time and considerable money following OUR club.
@9
“Get real we are at least 12 years away from a decent team”
You accidentally typed ‘years’ instead of ‘miles’
We all want you to do well Andy, but we are paying customers and if you don’t deliver the goods why shouldn’t we moan?
You do your best and put a lot of effort in but you are not good enough to warrant a starting place in a Wolves team.
Keogh you don t score enough u prat keep it shut do the talking on the pitch then earn respect. You have no right to say real fans we pay your wages mate
15 i agree apart from branch was physically stronger and didnt shout his mouth off that much
I’ve said it before, but is anyone at Molineux actually in charge of Public Relations ??
Obviously not !
Sorry Keogh your a waste of space who gets paid to much.
I have to agree with Keogh. The majority of people on this board consistently moan and groan, whinge and whine. I rarely post comments here because of all the nagativity. I’ve followed Wolves for 50 years now, through thick and thin. If you lot are intitled to vent your feelings then why can’t Keogh vent his. Some of the comments on here are destructive and I wonder if you are real fans or Baggies in disquise trying to stir things up.
Let’s all get together next season and get behind the manager and whatever 11 HE PICKS.
Let’s be constructive, not destructive.
COME ON THE WOLVES.
Reading between the lines, whether you like it or not, the moaners are having a negative imapct! Football is as much about confidence, as it is talent and whilst I agree that everyone is entitled to an opion and when and how they choose to express it, bottiom line is … hasn’t helped anyone, we are still in the Championship!
Dave 5……Keogh is our second best striker and don’t forget the goals he’s laid on for others. Come on, give the guy a break. We have in SEB and Keogh the best stike partnership since Bull and Mutch.
I find it incredible that Wolves players, management and even some supporters can criticise the fans. As one person has mentioned, no one was barracking the players when Southampton beat us 6-0 at Molineux. However, the fans were rightly disappointed during last season’s dismal campaign. Are we supposed to sit there and just accept our team has gone backwards since Mick arrived? Speaking of McCarthy, the McNugget himself insists he’s doing a good job - this after the team finished 7th behind a woeful Watford and dismal Bristol City. It’s cretinous statements like this that leads to animosity among the fans.
Grow keogh! Your Playin 4 a big club and to be honest i dont think your good enough by a mile. Freddy has far more ability and has never moaned about the fans once. We have suffered more than enough premadonnas like you!!! Go play 4 a little club where they cheer losers!!!!!!!!!!
MM Moxey Keogh the Molineux factor is not the fans is YOU! you are big egos on loads of money who under achieve year after year. How can Bristol City, Watford, Hull and Crystal Palace be better than the Wolves?
It’s your cock ups which have coursed it not the fans.
I think we’ve all come to terms with the fact Freddy’s gone. So I can only hope Keogh proves me wrong when I say he just aint good enough.
Stop moaning, even the albion fans have got bored with you, it could be worse, you could support, Leeds, Leicester, Sheffield Wednesday or even Coventry (please don’t start going on about Mr. wonderful going there and putting 3 past us.
The most entertaining thing about being a Wolves fan this season has been reading the comments and blogs. There has been precious little on the pitch. Also Mr Keogh you are new to the club, but some of us have stood or sat through thirty years of the same excuses and the same promises. It wears thin after a while. Fans are fans until they die managers, players and indeed Chairmen are here until something else comes along.
The amount of crap wolves fans have had to endure over the years - we’re entitled to moan when the footy is of a poor standard.
There are a lot of season tickets holders who are sick to death of dissapointment and are voicing concerns, I personally think critism is right in this case, its been a poor league granted, but we should have gone up with the expectation as it was.
i have said from the begining of the season dont play Keogh he freezes in front of goal, but you lot where on my back, now you choose to agree with me.
This is a message for Jez Moxey and Steve Morgan - If KEOGH’s views are that of the club and are endorsed by the club then, I request a refund on my season ticket for next season. Please give me my money back and I will stop going for good !
Leaving all the idiot happy clappers to it !
I care what happens to Wolverhampton Wanderers and have seen what has happened here in the past, (Bhatti’s relegation etc….) thats why I can criticise or question what is done, I have a right.
keogh seems very confident tht wolves will go up nxt season but its gna b very tough for you nxt season im just so glad tht albion have gone up now
anyway enjoy championship nxt season
I think as a fan, Im getting a bit cheesed off by the constant criticism from the manager, moxey and the players.
Our expectations are high, because we have a manager who spends a lot of money on players, and a chairman who bought the club on the proviso he invested £30 mil in the team.
McCarthy is not a good manager, we’ve all seen that. These so called young and hubgry players are no more than mediocre with the odd exception.
Personally, I believe Murray is a better keeper that Hennessey although Murray is permanately injured, so if it was up to me, I’d
flog Hennessey and spend the cash on some midfields, defenders, oh and another striker of course
The team is average, in an awful league, and apart from the ‘fluke’ buy of Seb ( he was recommended from a phone call from Ian Holloway remember) its been yet another false dawn for Wolves.
Ince understands the club, the expectations , and most importantly the fans. You wouldnt get incey criticising the fans and I dont believe he would let his players do the same.
BRING IN INCEY! PLEASEEEEEEEE! And Sack Moxey, apart from balance the books, all he does is get all the fans backs up.
FACT IS KEOGH IS RIGHT THOUGH, ALL YOU MUPPETS WHO MOAN AND MOAN AND MOAN AND MOAN AND MOAN, YOU WERE BEHIND THE TEAM AND MICK LAST SEASON, BUT THIS SEASON YOU MIGHT ASWELL OF ALL STAYED AT HOME, YOU GO ON ABOUT KEOGH, HES SCORED MORE GOALS THAN ANY OTHER STRIKER AT THE CLUB!!! EVEN THO BLAKE WASCHAMPIONSHIP TOP SCORER HE HASNT SCORTED MORE THANK KEOGH FOR US! SO WHY NOT SHUT THE HELL UP! I ADMIT HE HASNT BEEN AT HIS BEST THIS SEASON, BUT HE STILL GAVE 100% MORE THAN YOU GIVE HIM 100% SO WHY NOT STOP YOUR PATHETIC MOANING AND GET A BLOODY LIFE, IF NOT GO AND SUPPORT SOMEONE ELSE! YOUR QUICK ENOUGH TO MOAN, BUT HOW ABOUT PRAISING THEM AND GETTING BEHIND THEM FOR ONCE, OR ARE YOU ALL TO COWING THICK!!! AND STUBBORN, COS ITS BEEN PROVED WOLVES MOAN MORE THAN ANYONE ELSE AND YOU LOT ARE PROVING IT, AND YES THE REAL FANS LIKE YOU LOT CLAIM TO BE AINT!! ONLY WANNA NO THE TEAM WHEN THERE WINNING, ABSOLUTE JOKE MOST OF YOU AM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
24-WBA Bomber…Can’t believe I agree with a Baggies fan so much, well said! What disappoints me most is that Moxey, after years of lowering our expectations of a once great club, is now lowering the reputation of our great fans.
Let’s get real now Jez. We have a wonderful set of loyal, partisan supporters who would die for this club and will sing its name in their thousands, whatever the weather. Yet Moxey and his spin machine repeatedly pummels us for daring to question abject failure.
So now we have a scenario where all WBA fans, no, make that all fans across the country, can point to us as being the most fickle in the world.
Why, because our CEO keeps rubbing our faces in the dirt to deflect any flak from his own door.
Well done Jez, it’s mission accomplished once again. You should be ashamed of yourself.
Now we’ve got grogphil blaming Moxey..What the heck has he done wrong? Honestly peop;e on this board really should be supporting the WHOLE club not picking on individuals Loyal Cannock Wolf….Keogh will prove you and all the rest wrong. The touble this past year has been the boring ‘Freddie debate” thank goodness he’s off somewhere else. But I’m sure the doom and glooom merchants will choose someone else and disrupt the applecart.
Blimey - I thought that since the season was over eight days ago, our “Fantastic but Misfiring Players” as Mick refered to them would at least shut the **** up.
Mick really has managed to instil into the players that not only are they are blameless for the poor football on display but it’s all the fans’ fault no matter what they dish out. No wonder Breen’s honesty aided Mick’s decision to ship him out.
In Mick we trust has clearly become the players mantra.
He’s not critising the support, it’s the way we support them. Booing after 10 minutes is not good. That’s why we reached the play-offs first time around. No expectency - JUST CHEER THE TEAM ON.
IT ALWAYS DOOM AND GLOOM
Of course the fans mood changes depending upon how the team is doing. Promotion was promised by MM and the board and top 6 at least. Well you failed. Were i work budgets and targets are set and if at the end of the year they are not met there is hell to pay. I will suggest to my boss if this happens that its the customers fault publicly that shouls cheer him up.
WHO DOES ANDY KEOGH THINK HE IS THE REAL SUPPORTERS ARE THOSE FANS WHO PAY TO SEE THEM PLAY HOME AND AWAY AND ALSO BUY ALL THE MERCHANDISE LIKE IDIOTS SO DOESN’T THIS GIVE US EVERY RIGHT TO MOAN WHEN THINGS AREN’T GOING RIGHT KEOGH IS MAKING A ROD FOR HIS OWN BACK WHEN FANS START BOOING HIM FOR HIS SILLY BOYISH REMARKS GROW UP ANDY WE PAY YOUR’E WAGES MATE. MICK OUT FREDDY TO STAY
The majority of you so called wolves fans on her are pathetic!
All this love for Freddy is pathetic, i bet the majority of you were the ones calling for Freddy to come on when Keogh missed a sitter against QPR before gettin two goals!!
When Keogh signed was there one Wolves fan who thought ‘Yeh we’ve now got our goal scoring machine’??
I for one new Keogh was the assist man, not a natural goal scorer and surely his partnership with SEB has shown this!!
All this bull about Freddy and SEB lighting up the championship, how does having two fairly selfish strikers together work? Surely the best partnerships are where one striker is willing to drop off i.e Sutton in Sutton and Shearer, Yorke in Yorke and Cole and lets not forget ANDY MUTCH WITH STEVE BULL!!
Guarantee next season when SEB and Keogh are best partnership in the league all you lot will soon shut up!
Well said Andy!!!!!
la la, la la, Keogh!!!!
Some Wolves fans are an embarrasment. We’re worse than Newcastle.
Jesus wept! Are the employees of this club determined to destroy any sort of relationship they have with the supporters. It is getting beyond a joke now and come the new season if it carries on and results are going badly in the first few games there is going to be a major backlash which I fear will become ugly and the only people the board will be able to blame are themselves for not stopping these PR disasters!
Anyone else see Harry Redknapp’s MOTD interview. Some Pompey fans booed during yesterday’s defeat and he claimed that was just the johnny come lately glory hunters.
The similarity with Wolves is uncanny. They’d been stuck in the Championship equivalent for 19 years (it was 18 years for us) before promotion.
It’s quite clear that the Wolves players (and manager) are exactly right to criticise the fans because of their inflated expectations.
Oh - I forgot - Pompey stayed in the top flight when we were relegated.
Oh - I forgot - they finished 8th in the prem, are in the FA Cup final this year and qualified for Europe.
21 - Your a complete idiot. It’s fans like you that Keoghs referring to. Just get a life.
Come on Andy–Go have your Summers Break relax on the Beach-Chill have few beers-Take in the sun and energise . Note the result of the Weekend–Derby, Birmingham & Reading–Remember Reading “Played us of the Park”—-Then come back Andy show us you can do it and be aware “Us real Fans” will be there even if you are not. Here endeth my advise.
i like Keogh,i think there is improvement to come,he needs to get the guinness down his neck and grow strong enough to hold the ball up.
If we keep buying players like you Keogh we will be staying in this league you would struggle to get in a decent pub side. Shut your gob and start performing.
ABSOLUTE CARP! Does Keogh think that his return as a striker is enough? The way MM has us play - we cant afford the luxury of fancy footwork with no end result! If you watch the trailer for the Championship Play offs on Sky you will see Keogh almost tripping over himself as he runs out of the tunnel - that says it all!
Keogh lays on chances for SEB - well maybe he does - but that means that we have 1 striker upfront with a creative midfield player (Keogh) pretending to put in a “shift” as a paper weight striker! (Not enough return in goals from Keogh)
If MM wants a striker with strength and can hold up the ball and score goals - Why not Stern John from Saints? That way - when we hoof the ball up they have more than one target to aim for and maybe we can attempt more attacks at goal each game? Freddie Eastwood does not do that role well and is more of a striker that plays off a target man - So why MM wanted him - God only knows!
PS Derby Manager commented on Central lunchtime news about Derby fans having a go/ booing the players? Hey It must be catching Keogh!!! Now even Derby fans have the Molineux Factor - Oh dear oh dear
NB* Andy Go on Holiday and enjoy the break - Hope you’re going somewhere nice and expensive - you know somewhere most average REAL Wolves fans cant afford?
WHY? Because most spend their hard earned home & away watching you miss most of your chances and score the odd few!
pathetic players and pathetic manager - all in all a pathetic set-up!
I know Wolverhampton has a large immigrant population but reading these comments you’d think we were living in cold war Soviet Uniion! Its ok for the whingers to spout off but AK should keep his mouth shut!
I have to listen to the embarrassing nonsense in the North Bank every other saturday afternoon, its refreshing to see someone stand up and give some back, good on you Andy. Now get yerself in the gym with SEB & Elokobi so you your able to dish out to opposition defenders as well.
THESE SORT OF COMMENT CAN SPLIT FANS AND CAUSE MORE PROBLEMS FOR THE TEAM AND THE CLUB . SO WHY IS MORGAN LETTING THE MANAGER AND PLAYERS SLAG THE PEOPLE THAT PAY GOOD MONEY TO PAY THERE WAGES . I THINK SOMEONE SHOULD TELL KEOGH THAT WE HAVE ONLY BEEN PROMOTED ONCE IN 20 YEARS. SO I THINK THEY SHOULD SHUT THER GOBS AND GET PROMOSION . NUFF SEID. UP THE BIG GOBBS
This is just yet another insult !
We have almost had to read them on almost a daily basis.
When will MM and who ever sets the players up to deliver this drivel, learn. All it does is divide the supporters.
Can anyone imagine the likes of Hibbitt, Carr, Richards, Bully etc. saying this kind of thing in the media. I think not and this guy is not good enough to lace their boots!! Get lost Keogh and take that idiot manager with you!!
I’ve never been a big fan of Keogh, he tries hard but he isnt good enough.
And after reading this article, i officially want him out the club.
Complete and utter tosh. Do the talking on the pitch and cut out this tabloid garbage!
Well Said Keogh!
Show some respect Keogh!! We {the fans} actually care for the club - it matters to us,do you understand? You just provide a service - badly! You are an average player on good wages; paid, generally speaking,by us! How dare you suggest that booing fans are not true supporters.Learn some manners and show we’re wrong by scoring goals on the pitch - which you have failed to do so this season. Hold your head in shame young man!!! Like MM, you’re all mouth and no substance. We’ll see young man what next season brings. Sadly I’m not optimistic.
Well said.
36, 50, 57 WELL SAID!!!!
Don’t think i could of put it better
There is a very unhealthy attitude developing between the club and it’s supporters and it is not just the supporters that are to blame. The chief executive and the manager have set bad examples to the players and have given further evidence why so many supporters think MM and Moxey are not the men for the job here.
The players need to do their talking on the pitch. When they have achieved some success then that is the time when they can say something about the supporters that doubted them. To say something at this time is very ill advised and is not helping the bond between the supporters and the club one bit.
So not only am I a sad, chest thumping nugget, now I’m moody, & not a real fan either.
Andy I’ll be supporting the Wolves long after you’ve moved on.
Simon
55.”Were i work budgets and targets are set and if at the end of the year they are not met there is hell to pay”.
Exactly the key phrase here is “at the end of the year”. How would any of you feel if after 10 mins at work your boss came up and said “you’re S@*T at your job”. Would it be good motivation for you? Probably not, cheer them for 90 mins and then let them know what you think at the end. The opposition must love it when they hear all the chants against the home team and subs coming on appear to be getting booed.
Get behind the team and make the opposition feel like they have 20,000 against them. Teams are a goal down before they get on the pitch at places like Old Trafford and Anfield, because of the intimidatory asmosphere. Imagine what its like at the Wolves the home players must be worried that if they make a mistake the crowd will turn on them.
It is so sad that long term supporters of the club seem to think that their years qualify them to be offensive and abusive to members of the team. It doesn’t…
Everyone is allowed to make points and these do not have to be in support of the current management. However they should not be abusive. It’s ok saying players -in your opinion - are not good enough but to call them ‘muppets’ and useless etc is childishly pathetic. All of the squad are very gifted young men who have attained a level far and away higher than most of us fans could ever achieve.
I also feel sad when fans call Mick a muppet. he knows more about soccer than the vast majority of us fans.
keogh is ‘man’ enough to be able to take criticism just like the rest of the team. They are paid very well for what they do and so their paymasters - us - have a right to expect effort and determination but we cannot expect premiership performances from championship players.
I am sure they all would like to play like Man U players but they can’t and should not be subjected to abuse when they don’t.
Sensible criticism - yes. Abuse, name calling NO. We are all disappointed, we all know Mick made major errors but in spite of this we were two goals from the playoffs. next year we’ll be better and if we are all supportive of the team at Molineux then we’ll be better still.
Lets make Molineux a fortress. lets make the players feel encouraged and respected and not subject to negativity when they make errors.
lets be sensible about this.
I have been a season ticket holder for 40 years so I am not one of Keoghs Fine weather supporters. If he is mentally strong enough he should give the number 9 shirt back and admit he is not good enough and his many ,many, missed chances are proof this season. We missed the playoffs by goal difference ummm I wonder who missed most of those.
Get out on loan and learn your trade BOY. How dare you preach to the Wolves faithfull.
80. Good point. It’s harrassment in the work place. If it’s their club why do they treat their employees to badly. That’s why the Board and the Manager handle the players and not the pig headed minority.
WELL SAID Andy! Just do run your heart out & bag us 20 goals next year and I’ll be happy. Keogh, Keogh…!
na,na,na,na,na,na,na,na,na KEOOOOGHHHHH!
agree with him keep the boo boys away!!
He is correct. Some of the comments on here are a disgrace. If you’re reading these, Andy, ignore the utter morons - anyone with an ounce of intelligence can see you are right.
Realist…..Maybe you didnt notice mate….It is the end of their year!!
86.
I did notice but some you have been booing them since August last year.
Keogh presents as if there are just two distinct types of fans. Simplistic is my response. Frustration is inevitable with under performnce. Cheers and moans may be emmitted from the same orifices.
Ah the Molineux factor:schizo-footie-phrenia.
86. Maybe you didn’t notice he was referring to the season as whole. Non-criticsm.
wanderer 2007/2007
is that the start and end date you’ve been watching football from?
sounds like it.
PS if it werent for Wolves fans sniping at each other these threads would be 3 or 4 comments long max…. wonder if that would be any better ?
87 Realist
Similar name to me and similar opinion to me on this.
Well said Keough.
so what about this season then Keough??
Who wrote that for you Andy,,perhaps you or maybe (Southbank 50)can explain what you want us moaning muppets to understand,,,,you said quote,,,thers something dealing with us thats a tangible factor that you need to think about,,un quote,,,whats all that about,,,leave the writing to Nathan,you keep getting a goal every six games and at least Southbank and his mates will be happy…
Nick Phillips, are you one these real fans then? Numpty
he’s gonna win promotion for the “real fans” is that the 3200 “real fans”from the division 4 days?
Who does this muppet think he is??? Hes nothing specail in this Wolves side misses more times than he scores!
Oh Andy.. Andy… Keooooogh!
Andy Keogh Missed The Goal!
Everything that Keogh said is right.
the problem with Wolves Fans can be seen just by reading the above comments.
Don’t go if you are unhappy
Go to watch Man u if you expect to win every game
Don’t go if your not going to support the club in what they are trying to achieve.
I would hazard a guess not one of you muppets were at the game V Southampton last season
Keogh you are a disgrace, if you had took the chances served up to you all season we would be in the play-offs now. How you have the nerve to slate the very supporters who pay your overpaid wages beats me. Maybe you donate some back because some of your performances this season didnt warrant a pay packet, i know that if i performed at work like you and some other of the fatcats you play with did i would be in the dole queue now.
Wake up and smell the coffee little boy, we will still be here when you have long gone.
WELL SAID ANDY!!, its horrid reading the support that comes from the, ’supporters’on here,
funny all theses people that say i been a st holder for blah bah, and ive paid my money, what makes you think he is talking about you?? is it the fact that you just noticed you fit in the boo boy section? cuz i pay my money blah blah as well, and im not offended by this cuz i know im not who hes talking about.
The number of whingers on this post have proved Andy Keogh’s point for him!
Support the Wolves
Nah, the board, players & managment are not pathetic.
It’s these fickle Dingles who cry Freddaaaaaaaaaay, Inceeeeeeey or Biiiiiiig Saaaaaam.
How pathetic and moronic yoy are.
Stick to Beacon and bitching amongst the staff/users on here.
We will still be here when he is long gone…….all of us, real or “unreal”
Who the hell do you think you are you little muppet if it wasnt for muppet mick you would never get a game you aint any good for this league.keep your mouth shut in future who do you think pays your wages.
51. Hindmarsh. Totally agree with you.
The club has allowed itself to become a national laughing stock through disasterous PR.
Wolves are no worse for fickle fans or boo boys than any other club yet its the players & manager who constantly whine about it..and media like the E&S can’t wait to publish such inept whinging for the whole world’s entertainment. Its got to stop.
We actually have some of the loyalist, most passionate fans in the country but you’d never know it would you. This season has been dire with several specific issues that have torn the club apart, causing boo boys to vent their anger. That has nothing to do with them being fickle or disloyal. Do you think any other club’s fans would have behaved differently in the same circumstances?
As for the likes of Luke — Wolves, 36, 50, 57…does your name calling of other fans really encourage the much needed unity to the club, in the interests of the club. Lets all try to get along!
So lets put this behind us with a big club hug, oh & Mr Morgan, please hang a sign up in the dressing room that reads: DO NOT PUBLICALLY SLAG FANS OFF…IT DON’T LOOK REAL GOOD! Oh, & don’t be afraid to let Jez & the MM have a copy either.
Simon
I love you all…even you Andy Keogh!
71. brilliant,well said.
Keogh you weakling - SHUT UP. This guy can be quiet I gaurantee he won’t score more than 8 league goals next season, even if he plays 40+ games!! You’d think he’d played well or something going by his comments.
“We’re mentally tough, we’ll do it for the people cheering us and want us to do well.
“They are the real supporters, the ones that stick by you through anything, not the ones whose mood is determined by whichever way the season is going.”
Yes you muppets out there. Don’t you dare show any passion or desire to get promoted. Don’t dare even tut if a pass goes astray. You’re not wanted. If you think of expressing anything other than joy and utter delight that the current crop of players in gold and black are allowing us to watch them then turnaround and go home. Your opinion isn’t welcome.
But if you could just keep paying their wages that would be most appreciated.
So remember, win, lose or draw, be happy. If we don’t get promoted again (even if the manager foolishly predicts it) it’s not their fault. Just smile, count to three, and repeat “I must be a real fan. I must be a real fan”
In fairness, I think these are really valid comments - if directed at people who only ever watch Wolves on the telly. However, to those directly paying a few hundred quid to Wolves (and hence towards people like Mr Keogh’s salary) it suggests that the number on the back of his shirt is coincidentally his IQ.
The stats tell the truth.
e-banks blake 20 app 12 goals
keough 38 app 11 goals
Dont give me this crap that he is a young player who needs to learn there is less than a year between them sell him to some other unsuspecting club NOW!!!!
Overated overpaid brat.
I think Andy Keogh epitomises what went wrong with Wolves last season compared to the season before. I remember Andy getting the ball away at Sheff Wednesday, charging in from the left and scoring with an excellent strike. Last season he looked nervous whenever the ball came near him.
Even though I don’t support many of the negative comments made about this last season, Keogh, MM and Moxey etc… need to do what they’re paid to do - be successful. You underachieved last season, stop making excuses and make sure you put it right. Then the moaners will shut up
What right has Keough,McCarthy,Moxey and all to slag off wolves Fans.Whilst i might not agree with the personal booing i cannot disagree with the fans.We have only seen 2 half decent games at Molineux this season. If Keough had took a quarter of the chances he was given he would have scored well over 20 goals.The Albion midfield scored 10 goals each.Lescott has scored 10 goals in the premiership from defence! i bet his goals per chances reation is a lot better than keough ! If the fans see a good game then they wont boo.
In 25years we have spent only a season in the top flight.Prices go up,our wages go down ,but players like Keough are on a lot of money without producing the goods.Shut up and start practising now for next season.If You and Mccarthy dont deliver from the outset expect even more boos.We are wolves with 131 years of history.We expect the best and are not getting it.We want quality.I get checked every 10 mins at work if i am not meeting my targets my manager tells me with a doubt what the consequences are - the door !
Well done Keogh too many fair weathered supporters at Wolves, i’m fed up with all the moaning go on!
Naturally true fans, will follow true players.
What a disappointing season we had and seeing this weekend championship playoffs, I could not understand how our team were worse than the 4 teams on show.
The Wolf - Keogh is Michael Branch in disguise. Enough said LMAO!!!
Its pretty stupid him sayin that when i guess nearly all of the season ticket holders have been watchin Wolves for more then 10-20 years, so how can he lable them moaners and not real fans, he aint been here for the past 20 odd years waiting to be promoted to the top flight.
Sounds like if this carries on the team are slowly going to annoy fans before they have kicked a ball before the start of next season. How can he say they would have got promoted if everyone backed the team, he should have scored at least 20 goals this season alone!!
Well Said Keogh
It would Still Be The Same If We Lost In The Play Offs
Always The Same People
Im Again Going To Behind You Lads
UP THE WOLVES !
I think we all know who this comment is aimed at and he’s 100% right.
keogh ,you have about as much talent as snake entering a juggling contest…take your daft orange boots and clear off you useless donkey,you are carp lad!Im hoping you will clear off soon with your skeletal scarecrow physique to make way for some real quality but with merlin at the helm I doubt it….In short……..GO AWAY YOU MISERABLE TALENTLESS SCARECROW!…MICK AND WORZEL GUMMIDGE OUT!!!!
if your offended by keogh’s comments then obviously he is aiming it at YOU!!
im not dont boo at the game, never have done, never will. where do that get you?? the booboys get you no where, i know we unachieved last season. i dont like MM but we are stuck with him, and all you slating keogh are obviously the “freddy brigade”.
you lot moan “no one trys, no heart no passion etc” but he does all that, obviously not the most gifted bloke on planet but face it if he was, he wouldnt be at wolves!!!FACT!
Keough i think you are a scond rate lower league player and an idiot.
i have been going down the wolves for the past thirty two years and hopefully the next thirty two.
SO DON’T TELL US WHO THE REAL FANS ARE. ALL YOU’LL DO IS TAKE MONEY FROM THIS CLUB, THAT’S ‘REAL SUPPORTERS’ MONEY. IF YOU’D HAVE DONE THE JOB YOU ARE PAID TO DO AND PUT THE BALL IN THE NET WHEN YOU HAD THE CHANCES WE’D HAVE BEEN PROMOTED.
LETS SEE IF YOUR STILL ON THE TERRACES AT WOLVES IN 30 YEARS TIME, YOU ARROGANT IDIOT.
OK. So we are promised promotion next season?
Wow That makes a change.
Say “Keough rap” fast 10 times - then you will find out why you missed the playoffs…..
Well said Keogh - Many who have watched this year, blame MM for our failure to achieve - but with some excellent young players, brought into the team by Mick, we have a very bright future. MM made some mistakes last year BUT also the booing / slagging of individuals on matchdays must have had a bearing on results. After the treatment Keogh had from some quarters, he has a right to hit back. At least he won’t hear the chants of Freddy, Freddy again!!!!
The real wolves fans will still be following wolves when you have moved on, by the way it is our club the fans, not the 2nd rate players club.
I’m getting tired of these comments to the media about the fans or the Molineux factor. Whether its right or wrong in truth is debatable. However, it has a very demoralisng effect on the club and supporters as a whole. It has to stop. Players should do their talking on the pitch and management need to earn to respect the fans (even if they don’t always earn that respect). Can someone at the club please sort it out - we need to unite for the difficult season coming up.
keogh needs to be quite and learn how to score who does he think he is?
your a bad striker who just runs around pitch and makes little impact.
wel all know keogh is one of micks favrouites there all in it together
if you are that sure Keogh that you will go up donate all your wages back to the club if we don’t..
Bet you won’t make a statement on that Andy..
One thing to say to Keogh, “Freddie, Freddie, Freddie.” Unachieve next season and that’s what will be ringing around the Molineux. The majority of fans felt the season was a disappointment and comments like this do nothing to unite the club ready for teh new season. It has become an ‘us and them’ situation from Morgan down. The season just gone was a great chance to get out of the Championship and we missed the boat. Next season is going to be even tougher. All the criticism was justified and if that means it’s moaning, then it’s moaning.
dont know whats going on here,ive never known such an us and them situation since i started supporting wolves,
i dont agree with the booing players during a game,never have never will, but the club dont help, do they? what do they do for us?chelsea pay for special trains to certain games for there fans,as have the albion,stoke had a buy one get one free because they had two games in a week,we got a pie and a pint because they gave our end to our biggest rivals,would steve morgan give the ok for everton to have the kop?
respect needs to come from both sides
No 24 - LOL. That’s a hell of a lot of beer mate.
Ronnie Allen was manager when I went to my first match too, so I think I’m a real fan.
“They are the real supporters, the ones that stick by you through anything, not the ones whose mood is determined by whichever way the season is going”. Are you seriously suggesting that my mood shouldn’t be affected by the outcome of the matches. Some of last season’s home matches were absolutely exhilarating, even when we lost (eg Birmingham) and when we won I tended to be in a good mood (eg Albion). However, no matter how hard you claim to have tried, this season’s dross has been depressing. I’ve stuck by you, I haven’t booed, but I’ve been depressed by the whole business, because we could have walked this league. It would have helped if you’d put the ball in the net a bit more often. How hard do you work on your shooting? How hard do you work on your tackling (because we wouldn’t have conceded one of the goals against QPR if you weren’t such a wimp)?
“We’re mentally tough, we’ll do it for the people cheering us and want us to do well”.
There are actually quite a lot of us who were cheering and want you to do well. But you don’t - week in, week out. So you are talking rubbish. It would be better if you and most of the other players just shut up.
“But I want them to understand there’s something dealing with us that’s a tangible factor we need to think about”.
Mr Moxey, what language is this please? It certainly isn’t an English sentence.
So what the players and management want to see is 28000 mindless nuggets clapping their heads off week in week out regardless of the standard of football.Fans with a view or brain are not welcome
Presumably a real fan is one who never moans or expresses any kind of dissatisfaction with his team or players.
Maybe a real striker never misses, runs around aimlessly, fails to hold the ball up or misplaces a pass to his striking partner.
Can’t wait for next season to start. Open warfare started already between fans. Come back Jack all is forgiven.
Thought we were having new start eith Mr Morgan. These snipes from the players do sound very similar to “Fiddlers fart ” quote from our graet leader-coincidence or maybe NOT

Couldn’t have put it better myself. It’s the expectation of the club as a whole (not just supporters) that are our downfall. Just look at Newcastle, who should be a top 4 if not at least za top 5 club, yet they hound out managers and players, boo when the going gets tough and start all over again with a new manager. It’s a never-ending circle, something that I think the large majority of Wolves fans will never understand.
I agree with the comments that Keogh is an Andy Mutch figure, you’re never going to have two strikers who score 30 goals a season, so I take the majority of these comments with a pinch of salt and chuckle to myself about how disastrous this club (and not the players/manager/board) is at times.
I cannot get my head round the ppl who criticise Andy Keogh. Granted he isnt anywhere near the finished product but hes still a good player in my book. If you actually take the time to watch his game intead of booing him or chanting negative things at the team, you’ll see that his movement off the ball is very clever and some of the runs he makes are those of a very intelligent player. Give the guy a chance, hes still young and improving all the time, now hes found a partner in Ebanks Blake I reckon he can get 15+ goals next season which is a good return.
No 80 you are spot on ! No one has a divine right to get out this league.
WHAT A DONKEY- NOT ONLY IS HE USELESS BUT THEN CRITICISES THE FANS- GET RID AND BRING IN ANDY COLE OR DWIGHT YORKE, WE SHOULD HAVE SNAPPED UP STEPHEN CARR NOW HES BEEN RELEASED AND ANDY TODD FROM DERBY- WHY DOESNT MICK DO SOMETHING GOOD LIKE GET TEDDY SHERINGHAM OUT OF RETIREMENT FOR US OR KANU AS WE NEED MORE EXPERIENCE?
ID STILL LOVE TO SEE DARREN ANDERTON BACK. FAIR ENOUGH HES HAD SOME INJURIES BUT TOP QUALITY AND AVAILABLE CHEAP FROM BOURNEMOUTH- BEST MIDFIELDER AT THE MOLINEUX SINCE PAUL COOK
Keogh get used to the fact you now play for one of footballs BIG clubs that means expectations and pressure,however it also means you run out in front of passionate fans home and away and away ends full of colour and noise not empty seats like Wigan,Blackburn and other lesser lights who have found themselves above our mighty club and beleive me that is what it is!!!
96, mark, i was with you those dark days and the sherpa trophy day out too!!! anyone see the e+s tonight, mick has called some of us sad in the head!!! oooooooooooo!
No 9.
12 years or 12 miles? Couldn’t resist that one!
So now you know what your players(and manager) thinks of you.They dont deserve your loyal support.At least Bully knew where his bread was buttered!
keogh missed 3 good chances against plymouth to go alongside all the other chances he’s missed not only this season but last season too.to say he’s gone backward this season is putting it mildly.of course,you should just accept his mediocrity without comment.
this bloke made a significant contribution to wolves missing the play offs,and for me,the pity of it all is,that he’s going to be here to do it all over again.
yes its great to drive the range rover with the keogh number plate andy,how about having just a little respect for those that pay for it.
The answer to all this is at the feet of the players and in the hands of the manager.
It’s simple, really.
Show the crowd some good fast-paced football with good passing, good shooting, with ruthlessness, conviction, spirit, determination and GOALS!!!!!!.You are classed as “professional”, after all!
You won’t have ANY moaners then!
If you can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen!
Give the number 9 shirt back to somebody who can shoot
Keogh needs to do he what he is paid to do score goals and stop crying about a bit of stick
If we want success then the persistent whinging and moaning must stop.
I know the old chestnut about ‘we pay our money and we’re entitled to our opinion’. I’m afraid that doesn’t wash with me.
We are supporters and we should support, through thick and thin, good times and bad. I know we have the best support in the midlands and I know we are the most frustrating club in the country, however, unitl we all pull together and get behind the lads we are going nowhere fast!
What do we want…..success or failure? Without being too clever I think we should all realise that part of that equation is in our own hands!
Problem 1
There seems to be a tendency among some people that being a true fans means agreeing with every decision taking by people running the club, or in charge of the team, or clapping despite the performance on the pitch.
That would of course exclude 2/3 of every fan of every club, and is obviously wrong.
Problem 2: Keogh, McCarthy and others having a go at the critics all think they are refering to a small section of fans when calling them “nuggets” “sad in the head” etc.
Problem is that as I can judge from the different boards, about 80%, maybe a little more or less wants to get rid of McCarthy, and/or are disappointed with the way things have been handled this season.
So, instead of trying to reach out to that majority, they widen the gap even further with stupid comments, and namecalling.
Not the smartest thing to do.
well put no.24, spot on if the manager and the well under par players keep moaning the way they are you can stick that 300 quid season ticket in ya gobs because thats the best place for it,and i’ve been going down the wolves since 1974 i was 7 years of age when i first went so i’ll have my say and mm and the rest of the very poor players can lump it.
By the way, how dare he refer to so many of us, as not being “real fans”.
I have been a Wolves fan for 20 years.
I live in Denmark, and I am a student. Yet, every year I work my socks of, to be able to travel as many times as possible to watch Wolves.
When I was a kid I used to put on my Wolves kit every time there was a game on the radio. When Wolves scored I ran around the living room cheering, and when they lost the play-offs against Palace and Bolton I wept like I had lost a close relative.
When I was 15, I started the fanclub for Wolves here in Denmark and spend several hours every day working on stuff like the supporters magazine, etc.
Now as an adult, I listen to each and every game on the radio, and I would any day prefer a Wolves game over a game with my own country Denmark.
Yet, according to Keogh, I am not a “real fan” because I:
1. Think its perfectly okay for the fans to show their opinion after a dire performance.
2. Think McCarthy is the wrong manager.
3. Disagree with McCarthys way of handling the club.
4. Think this season has been very bad, and dont think this team will be able to clinch promotion even next season.
all Keogh is trying to say is don’t boo the players . does booing really help … no all it does is kill there confidence. yes they play bad but its not the players fault there not good Enough its Mick’s fault for putting out there.
kiss-ass keogh eh ?????
making sure your shirt is safe for next season.
dont bite the hand that feeds you andy.
Wolves fans may be fickle at times but they dont forget easily.
hint :
take a tip from Rob Edwards and SEB when it comes to commenting on the fans (not JM or MM)
As a loyal Wolves fan over several decades I am sick of reading the attacks on Wolves fans by these over-paid blowhards. The attempts to claim it is only a vocal minority proves they can’t count!
In a woeful Championship the two biggest failures have the most to say, Breen had it right.
I’ve only been to a handful of matches but have to say overall Wolves fans might well be the worst in the country. They are either silent or shouting abuse. What is the point? The team would be better off playing in an empty stadium. Keogh is right in everything he says, I would love everyone at the club to echo those sentiments. Before any comments fly back; No I’m not a life long supporter or ‘real fan’ but a realist.
Football supporting is so simple, the history of underachievement doesn’t matter (No really it doesn’t!), what matters is the present (i.e. current match). So come on Wolves fans if you concentrate really hard I bet you can blurt out one or two positive noises on match day. Just give it a go, it won’t hurt!
He’s entitled to his opinion and we are entitled to ours its a free country. He’s wrong of course but then again footballers usually are. Some have brains in their boots others just feet. And as for being the best strking pair we’ve had well I think they are a long long way behind Richards and the Doog, Bull & Mutch, Jimmy Murray, Ted Farmer, and a good many others too.
you joker keogh, if you hadn’t been so lightweight all season long and repayed the unjustified patience that your daddy mick has kept in you then we might have been better off
As a Wolves fan whose parents, grandparents and great grandparents, were Wolves fans - I find it deeply offensive that an average player like this can accuse me of not being a real fan - I think after 37 years of watching Wolves I am entitled to my opnion. McCarthy is not capable of taking us to the next level - he must go! And for the record Andy Keogh wouldn’t be in my top 15 Wolves strikers that I have seen play in those 37 years!
When Keogh speak the world of football listen’s……….Boing Boing
The PR at Wolves just seems to be going from bad to worse. It worries me that the management can’t see the harm that is being done here !! feelings of frustration are not going to be eased by pointless and devisive comments like this.
Somebody needs to start demonstrating control before anymore foolish rubbish is pushed out to the press !! and who can’t wait to start reporting about fans being devided.
Sort it out Mr Morgan please because nobody else seems to have a clue.
Do you think Christiano Ronaldo could deal with “the wolverhampton wanderers factor”? What a load of nonsense, good players have no problems playing at wolves, it;s the inept ones like Keogh who will struggle.. what a joke.
Keogh..you couldn’t lace Andy Mutch’s boots.Heard it all before..do us a favour..clear off !
In 2006-07 Andy was great in an attacking midfield role, but Mick McCarthy did not use Andy well this season and played him as a pure striker. The fans who chanted, “Freddy, Freddy, Freddy,” can’t complain if Andy took that personally and takes a swing back at them.
Not a wise thing to say, Andy. Relax, you’re only riling the negative fans. By chanting, “Freddy,” they were getting at McCarthy not you.
Those fans have one good argument: Morgan and McCarthy both said before last season that they wanted promotion and Wolves didn’t even make the play-offs. So it’s indisputable that Wolves failed to meet their objective this season. In particular, we got off to a terrible start, throwing away the home game against Watford in the last ten minutes, and the fans were very angry with the senior management’s failure to acquire a new central defender and McCarthy sending Jody Craddock to Stoke.
For next season, Morgan has already said clearly, “We cannot afford to fail again.” So the high expectations are being set by the owner. It’s not surprising that the fans embrace them.
Andy, IMHO, you always do your best and you’ve got a lot of talent. But if you don’t like public criticism you should have become an office worker–for pro sportsmen and entertainers, adulation and boos are part of the job.
Right now neither the negative fans nor you, Andy, deserve Premiership football. Freddy-chanting fans, think about the effect of your shouts on the other strikers! Andy, get used to the heat in the kitchen!
With this kind of civil war, Wolves don’t deserve to go anywhere (unless it’s the Conference) and we won’t go anywhere. Right now it’s understandable that blame is flying about, but before August let’s bury the hatchets and all pull together: McCarthy, the fans and the players.
Negative fans, don’t worry! If McCarthy fails again, he will be out! Andy, don’t worry about the fans–if the performances on the field are attractive and successful, the fans will rally right behind you!
Andy, Wolves were a founder member of the Football League and for a quarter of a century from 1937 to 1962 were one of the top four. In the last quarter of a century the fans have become very frustrated with loud-mouthed but inept performances by the board of directors and the chief executives, who have achieved nothing bar keeping the club in mere existence. Forgive their frustration!
Andy, you’re a championship player at best. Wolves will probably be the biggest club you ever play for before you move back down the league.
Thanks and goodbye.
IF MICK MCARTHY READS THESE BLOGS HE WILL KNOW THAT NO MATTER WHAT HE DOES OR SAYS THERES A HARD CORE OF WOLVES FANS WHO WILL ALWAYS “get behind your teanm blah blah” AND BLINDLY CHUCK MONEY INTO THE POCKETS OF JM SM & MM
THRES LOST OP THINGS WRONG AT MOLINEUX AND I THINK MM IS RIGHT THERES LOAD WHO ARE SAD IN THE HEAD BUT I THINK FOR DIFFERENT REASONS
MM IS CRAP SO IS HIS TEAM
7TH AINT GOOD ENOUGH END OF
And just to nail this one completely, 69 chances Andy and you scored 11 of them. You had more chances than anyone and I blame your manager for making you and Elliott his number one strikers at the start of the season, what sort of judgement is that?
If we put as much effort into supporting our team next season as we are spending whinging, perhaps just perhaps, we will go up. It is a well known fact that teams come to Molineux relying upon holding us to 0-0 for twenty minutes after which they are rewarded by the home fans getting on the backs of the Wolves. We are our own worst enemies…………how did the team play last year when we gave them 100% support? How did they play this year with the boo boys taking the lead?
We are the epitome of mediocrity have been for years & years too long to remember, lets hope we improve in the next 10 years say, I mean or at least before 2020 or it might never happen.
I can’t believe the arrogance of MM and some of his favourites with various comments posted throughout the season. Now it’s very simple. A Keogh led promotion charge next season or bye bye Mick and take some of these idiots with you (including some fans who post on here, including 50 sOUTHBANK, cos they should watch Walsall as they obviously enjoy that standard of football !)
ENOUGH! Everybody is frustrated and annoyed and Keogh all you are doing is sticking a poker into dead embers, and re-kindling an old fire, for everybody’s sake LET IT GO! You are making the club a laughing stock evoking responses from frustrated hurting fans.
AK, who are you? Wolves fans have been at the club longer than you, and we will be here once you have gone. You get paid good money to stick the ball in the back of the net. Here’s a lesson for you whilst you are busy sunning yourself, hire out some dvd’s of great goalscorers and watch how they score. You might learn something for next season. Otherwise SHUT UP AND PROVE US ALL WRONG BY SCORING 20 NEXT SEASON RATHER THAN RUNNING AROUND LIKE A LUNATIC!
Another case of poor PR from Wolves…. at the end of a disappointing season, we could do without a player, who lets face it didn’t exactly set Molineux alight, coming out with this drivel.
Yes, sometimes the negativity from the terrace was slightly too much, but fans pay their money and are entitled to their opinions.
But Keogh’s ill-timed comments are difficult to swallow.
Brilliant… Even your own players HATE you…That’s us, Norwich, Keogh…. the list goes on….
Andy keogh’s comments were unacceptable but have some empathy for him after all the abuse he has suffered this season.Booing and abusing players on the pitch is wrong,but critisism in blogs is fair and should be taken on board by the managementat Wolves. The one thing that has upset me this season is the fact we never dominated any match at home, in fact most matches the away team dominated. Many times we have put “a poor shift in”, at the end of the day we go to see good football and be entertained. We certtainly haven’t had much of that this season. Time management woke up and smelled the coffee
You lot deserve a blast from the playing staff, all you do is crticise and jeer. You have no divine right to be in the top 6, you`ve got to earn it.
Albion went behind in numerous home games this year and due to continuous backing and loud support they either equalised or went on to win in almost all of them.
You lot just boo louder or leave the ground early sulking and rushing back to your computers to post more hatred of your `beloved` club.
You get what you deserve and you lot certainly deserve the horrible mess youre in right now.
I think AK should go on holiday and take a well earned rest. E
