As a lifelong Wolves supporter now living in Hereford and having watched them quite regularly in their promotion chase – Dean Beckwith is NOT championship/premiership material – a fair header of the ball, but far too slow and clumsy – another donkey I’m afraid.
He is Not the calibre of defender we need!!!

Add MM, Clipboard Connor, Collins and S. Ward onto the list!

1.Freddy In ! Mm Out ! – That is just so unambitious, I agree with Terry. Great conference/League One side maybe. Cmon mate, have some ambition
Still, after last season’s debacle I have NO confidence that Zoot will get the players required for top two. He will do well do start incluidngthe kids he sent out on loan, by the way. Was Denes Rosa mentioned in the clearout? He wasn’t was he, does this mean he’ll be given a chance next year or does he get treated like Freddy or bangs the goals for the reserves again just to save them face
Not looking forward to the signings, I don’t have the faith in Zoot like I did last year

Its frankly incredulous that 6 of McCarthy`s signings from last season are going. To have included Collins and the other Ward on the out list would have been spelt absolute humiliation for the manager, so lets hope they never get even near the subs bench next year.
I wonder if its really the chairman`s list, after all he`s no football fool, and we had a massive squad last year. Oh to be a spider on the wall, its MM & the fat controller on trial next season, and over the next few months with signings expected. I can`t wait!!!!!

7-they ain’t giving wolvo a bad name-only themselves, thats why they were voted number ONE WHINGERS,we ain’t one of them mate because we are TRUE WOLVES FANS, MM – IN WHINGERS OUT,MM IN -WHINGERS OUT – I say MM IN -WHINGERS OUT,OUT,OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1.Freddy In ! Mm Out !
i agree with ur signings but Freddy’s going ang Mick ain’t….just accept it
Report abuse
I find it incredulous that 5 of Mm`s signings from last year have been transfer listed. It would have been full humiliation for MM if Collins & Ward had been included. Ony Freddie has shown anything to justify any of these players joining in the first place.
So was this leaving list prepared by the chairman, after all he`s no football fool, I`m sure he`s told MM and the fat controller to get it right next year or else, that goes for any new signings.
Lets hope neither Collins or Ward get near the bench next year, let alone in our team. MM is a very lucky man to have kept his job after his consummate failure across all his footballin areas last year.

to no 9,
He has always been on the list, since beginning of this season. No takers yet thats all.

Will all of the MM out crowd please get with it. He’s not going – End of story – Deal with it. The chairman/owner has said it and so has Moxey. It’s now time to concentrate on the positive things that are happening at our club. We have a nucleus of young talented players. We have a manager with lots of experience, who has been man enough to admit his mistakes. We have a chief executive who may lack people skills as far as fans are concerned, but deals with clubs, players and more importantly, agents in an exceptional business like manner. We also have an owner who is loaded and willing to spend on players. Mr. Morgan is also planning long term for the future with stadium improvements. STOP WHINGING AND START SUPPORTING!

Does anyone actually think that N Collins is better than Rob Edwards???
Report abuse
The clearout should include Muppet, Moxey, Connor, Ward & Collins – NOT Eastwood. Ah well, more of the same then, can’t wait!! I give Muppet till Christmas at the latest by then all you doubters wil realise what an idiot he is!!
SAY WE SAY MUPPET OUT, WE SAY MUPPET OUT!!

I’m changing seats next season, we have the WORST supprters in tyhe world, all they ever do is moan and whine.
It’s like an OAPs knitting circle.
My daughters and I get funny looks when we cheers on our beloved Wolves.
Hopefullyu next season we can support our team WITHOUT prejudice.
Last season six down against SOuthampton, we were cheered for every single second.
This last sesason, frankly our collective support (not mine) was an embarrassment.
Get behind your teams or get lost.

You Muppet lovers are pathetic. You lack passion and ambition. Why should we settle for second best all the time. Muppet and his cronies are not good enough!! This has been a dreadful season and we have every right to criticise. The likes of Ward, Collins etc will get my support if they desrve it, so far they haven’t!!

Mad Mick has destroyed the faith and have caused civil war between the fans. I renewed my season ticket on the belief that he would be sacked. The way he has treated Eastwood was unbelievable. I have lost my respect for him.
MCCARTHY OUT!!!!

Christophe Berra is a player we definatley need to get, and i know he’s a sunderland player, but Nyron Nosworthy would be a rock in defence

i dont see why everyone has got soemthing against MM … he managed to get us to play offs lasy eyar and nearly this year… you cant get it right all the time he needs time to develop the squad hes had a hard job coming into a job with hardly any players… theres not many better than MM and to be honest unless wolves get automatic promotion they dont deserve to be in the premiership.. I dont agree with some of the players that are got rid of but i do agree with Breen … the guys to old … fresh blood start again give it two seasons MM is the man for the job any day !!

as a Saddlers fan I’d like to see Dan Fox and Scott Dann lured to Wolves as they have far greater chance of acheiving things with the Wolves!! Just please don’t have Gerrard cos then we are surely stuffed next season then!! I must say the Wolves players that least impressed me at Wolves have been sold/transfer listed….Freddy the exception obviously!

Eastwood didn’t work out. Get over it. MM will get us up.. (not that playing for 18th spot in a league fills me with much excitement)he didn’t get on with one player (who looked useless on Sunday), QPR’s millions permitting!
Last time we came down it was with Leicester and Leeds. Where would you rather be?????

Just reading some of the crap on this board, looking at the spelling, are any of these guys over 13 years of age? Or are they chemically restricted?
That silly tonker from Smethwick (4) who on earth is Macartney?
Come on you lot if you want this board to be read by grown up people, you really need to express yourselves with a degree of common sense, perhaps a slightly broader perspective and for goodness sake, check your spelling! It’s just depressing…. Father’s of tomorrow etc…

ive been a season tikcet holder for severn years now and with mick i can see a bright future
yes he has go rid of some good players who are probably are taking up big wages for example bothrody and potter will be on big wages, elliot isto small never good enough maybe 4 seasons ago but not now!! rob has gone down teh pecking order and breeny you will be missed solid some days but clumsy other days
we need to bring in two centre backs young and hungry one that want to play for the club and waer there hearts on there sleeves
and we need to splash 4-5 mill on a center midd who can score and create goals!!!
and 1 stricker who can get the ball the SEB and old head who knows the game like a hassilbank and phillips sorry to use his name !!
back next season for which im sure will be swapping places with and teco carrer bags adn we ill show every1 in teh middlands what wolverhampton wanderes are made off !!!!!
get behind teh lads and MM

To all the MM out whingers, you do have the right to criticise…but to be honest..its getting all a bit boring now.
Hes not getting the sack (he never was) so whats the point.

Buy fringe players,you get a fringe team.If Wolves are serious about promotion to the Premiership,they need to get quality players and do things in the proper rather than the half-hearted piecemeal way that they have been doing things up till now.

give it a rest mart wolves. just because you would cheer being struck on the head by a brick doesnt mean that those still with a grip on reality should mindlessly accept the drivel that was served up 9 /10 times last season.
This topic is a yawnfest to be honest. i think most have accepted we are stuck with mccarthy, and are going about the business of 2nd guessing who we will get in in the close/
I think you will find very few fans actually think its a good idea to boo anyone on the pitch, and any below par pfeformances should be addressed in between games.
The tx listing of some 6 serious dud signings is a good move by mccarthy and im sure there are a lot of fans who are holding judgement til we see what cab be achieved in the close.
time to hold fire methinks.

Heard Darren Huckerby is free
What about it MM
Could you get him to put a shift in?

Yet again McCarthy is whinging about Wolves fans. We hear nothing positive from him, no plans to deal with any problems, only how well he gets on with “Jez”.
He has produced a team that is happy to pass the ball around the back, seems inacapable of going forward, cannot put the ball in the box and must hold the world record for missing open goals.
We need not fear losing players to the Premiership If I was a Premiership manager I would not want any of them. (yes I know Keane may be intersted in Foley, a rare error of judgement).
Roy Keane isone of the most consummate professional players the game has seen recently. If this deeply patriotic player cannot bear to play as Capt of N ireland whilst Mc Carthy is manager, what else do you need to know
Like so many Wolves fans, my family has supported Wolves for a hundred years and will continueto do so despite the insults of the manager and some players. We’ll be in the stands next season. It is time the the manager and his team awarded such undeserved loyalty

Mick McCarthy has critised loyal fans who have been following the Wolves for years. These fans are customers of WWFC PLC, if a manager of a well company in the high steet critised their customers, these customers will go and shop elsewhere. Mick should be hoping that the season ticket holders that have not renewed yet and fans that pay on the gate will be putting their hands in their pockets. I paid for 2 season tickets and travelled away to 9 away games last season, ihave renewed again for next season. I am born optimist and iam sure Mick and the team will come right next season. I hope Mick can give us some encouraging feedback in the future so we back him, the team and the club to the Premiership.
