Collins put up for sale by Wolves
Tuesday 14th July 2009, 11:18AM BST.
Wolves defender Neill Collins has been put up for sale – with the best possible endorsement from manager Mick McCarthy.
The 25-year-old signed a four-year deal this time last year, but has failed to make the 24-man tour party for Australia.
Collins fell down the pecking order following the arrival of Christophe Berra in January, coupled with the return to form and fitness of Jody Craddock.
Since then, Ronald Zubar has arrived from Marseille and McCarthy still wants to sign another centre-back, with Bobo Balde on trial and Chelsea’s Michael Mancienne a long-term loan target.
But at least Collins will leave with a glowing testimonial from McCarthy.
The manager said: “Neill will move on, just like Jason Shackell and Darren Ward. I want to sell him – Neill doesn’t want to be going out on loan.
“He’s been brilliant for us, but he needs to go and play football.
“There’s nothing in the offing for him to my knowledge, but he’d get into any Championship side. Half of them would make him their captain if he went there.
“I said the same about Rob Edwards and I wasn’t wrong – he went to Blackpool and became their captain. Neill will do the same.
“He has been excellent, but hasn’t been in the team and you just need to change things from time to time.”
Collins has made 81 League appearances for Wolves since making his loan move permanent in January 2007, with a £150,000 switch from Sunderland.
He has scored eight goals, including the winner at Doncaster last season.
But he hasn’t played since scoring the own goal that saw the team lose 1-0 at Reading in January.

Good decision by Mick McCarthy and all the best to Neil Collins.
Report abuse
Good luck if you do leave.
We’re all aware of his limitations, but it never stopped him giving 100%. It was the attitude and not always the ability of players like Neill that gained us promotion.
In Mick we trust!
Report abuse
What about this bloke from Hamilton, is he any good.

Possibily the best piece of news all Summer.

Brilliant move by Mick and the team. Think Collins has been one of those players who will put himself on line in the name of the team, but he is not really good enough for the premiership.
Glad Mick has seen this too and doesn’t seem to be keeping onto players he doesn’t think can do the job in the Prem. He’s obviously determined not to get relegated this time round.
Report abuse
Always gave 100% and a terrific servant to the club. Will be fondly remembered and will grace any Championship team.
Report abuse
would not have been my first choice to sell, has potential and is young…I would have sold Jody craddock
Report abuse
A good decision as he falls well short of what will be required this forthcoming season but, from what I have seen so far, he is no worse than Berra and has scored some crucial goals for us in his time here.
Report abuse
Good for Neil and good for Wolves. Never doubted the lads effort – just not the ability levels needed for the Prem’ (or top 5 of the Champ).
Sure we’ll make a nice profit on him !
Report abuse
Always tried his best when wearing the wolves shirt but made far too many silly errors that were punished by the opposition time and time again. A good threat from corners/setplays and admired his courage but Mick is right by moving the boy on. Wish you luck at your new club and in the future….
Report abuse
Brilliant in the air, too slow on the floor. I reckon that we might struggle to sell any of the surplus centre halves.
I see we have been linked with Knight again at £3 million. In my opinion, he would not be any better than Stearman!
Report abuse
Good luck to him in the future but nowhere near good enough for the Premiership. He used to fill me with panic whenever someone ran towards him. Zele on target again yesterday hopefully he will be playing in Gold and Black in the Premiership in a couple of seasons.
Report abuse
omg mick, how can u say that collins would get into any championship side and become captain? he is useless and i am so glad we r sellin him, he may hav tried his best but he was terrible. I cant see anyone buyin him so we may hav to wait for his contract to run out in 3 years :S personally i think he wud just about make it into a conference team
Report abuse
Nice to see some positive parting comments for neill. He always gave 110% but at times just found himself lacking a little! An integral part of our promotion success none the less and a player who never whinged and moaned when played out of position he just got on with the job to the best of his ability!
Good luck neill wherever your career takes you and thanks for playing your part in wolves history!!!!!
Report abuse
So why did we give him a 4 year contract then when he was clearly not good enough? Stupidity by Mick and Moxey!!
Nice profit? Who on earth is going to pay money this Collins??? Some people on here are completely deluded – probably the same people that think Stephen Ward is a good player!!
Report abuse
Lets hope we can re-coup the money from him. He was never a great defender, very limited in ability and I for one would like to pay for his taxi out of Moli. Harsh but business is business.
Report abuse
Thank you, Neil. You have been a good servant, giving your all when ever called upon. I wish you every success in the future and as with all former Wolves’ players, I will follow your progress by way of the Sunday newspaper football reports.
Report abuse
The correct decision to sell him. He is not going to play in the prem, so why keep him.
Despite his limitations he always gives his all and was unlucky not to get back into the team after the sending off at Reading. That own goal was the direct result Foley being fluffy in the corner and Hen refusing to leave his goal line in the build up. Collins played well that night and I really don’t think Berra is much better than him. But then I am less than convinced Berra will be up for the Prem either !!!!
Report abuse
13–never kick a man when he’s down.
15–get a life & go back to wba, when you get it.
Report abuse
Its the right decision, personally I think he should go to a lower championship or top League 1 side. Would knock an airbus out of the air but lacks the pace to deal with the premiership.
Giving him a 4 year contract was so that we can get a fee for him, im sure there will be interest and I would hope at least we can re-coup the 150k paid for him.
Report abuse
We all know his limitations, and i’ve being one of his biggest critics, but he always gave his all, and scored some vital goals. Was also rock solid alongside stears when we nearly broke our record for consecutive wins at the start of last season.
I reckon he will go on to shine at his level (i.e. the middle to bottom of the CCC) as mick says.
All the best Big Neil.

Anyone regardless of their ability and potential who helped us out of the championship deserves our thanks and good luck……Not the worst of our defenders though…..Can’t seen premiership strikers worrying about Craddock or Berra and we only hope that players like Zubar are good enough and that Starman Elokobi and the others can step up to the plate. Some good signings potentially but in for a long season defensively unless we sign someone of known quality I think
Report abuse
Gave his best but not good enough.
Would be ideal for a smaller club in the Championship…….interested Baggies?
Report abuse
We all knew it was going to happen!
Just wish it had of been sooner!
for all you saying that he was good enough for the prem, this obviously shows u doesnt it that he wasnt!
Report abuse
Glowing tributes now that the man is leaving,pity it was not the same when he was doing his best to earn an honest living at wolves
Report abuse
He scored 8 goals… but how many penalties did he give away?? At least double that!!
Report abuse
Little confused by the timing of this. Surely, it would have made sense to have put him on the list at the same time as Shackell, Ward etc. but can only assume Mick wanted him as cover had we not been successful signing other centre halves. Hope that readling between the lines, this means we have another centre half lined up (preferably Mancienne rather than Balde, not least as it should be cheaper since Mancienne can share all of McCarthy’s apparrel!)
Good luck Neill. I’m sure that when we have a corner with 5 minutes to go and we are looking for an equaliser/winner, a number of fans will be wishing that you were still with us.
On another note, is this a sign that McCarthy is maturing as a manager? He clearly has a soft spot for Collins having signed him from Falkirk (I believe) when he was at Sunderland and then obviously signing him for us. But he also knows that he isn’t ever going to be good enough for the top flight and should we get relegated, we have better depth now for the
Championship. I hope so.
Report abuse
Neill I’m proud to have supported you as a Wolves player and after years of watching players who couldnt care less about playing for this club you were exactly the type of player we needed. Thank god we’ve got Mick and Jez at the helm of this club and not cretins like ‘Bob Wolf’ who come on these pages and display their ignorance for all to see. Good luck Neill wherever you end up.
Report abuse
Some of the comments show very little understanding of the way football works. It is because he was given a new contract that we can get a fee for him, ( he could have gone free in the summer) plus the longer the contract the larger the fee you can ask. Neil has never cheated the fans he has always played to the best of his ability, and given 100%. How many games has he won in the closing stages with a brave header. Good luck to him, and WolvesMod should go back to the WBA(we are bottom again)site and talk about his own team. What a sad life he must lead with such a negative attitude, it must have been a very sad day for him and the other moaners when MM won the championship last May in spite of them
Report abuse
I’m not a Collins fan, far from it. I’m glad he’s leaving because he’s not good enough.
But in some ways, a part of me is glad he was given a 4 year contract. Has football always got to be about profit?
I wish him well.
Report abuse
Think of all the late goals his scored with his head, His one of the reasons we won some of the games!
Report abuse
I think we’ll see Collins playing in the championship next year and good luck to him, as many have said, he gave 100% but that just won’t be enough this season.
13 – He’s a better footballer than you are a speller! does teacher know you’re on the internet?
15 Bob, If we’d not put him on a contract and waved him goodbye on a free would that have been good business? NO! but as it stands we might get a few hundred grand in the bank – seems like damn good business to me
Report abuse
Good look Neil always gave 100% but as we all know he had his moments but scored some really important goals. I dont rate him any less than Berra and think Stearman is a lot better and can play a bit as we saw with his runs. I still don’t think we need anyone else in central defence, still like that premiership midfielder with experience. Like i said well done Neil i would clap him if he returned.

15. Bob Wolf. Collins may not have set the world light but put the effort in & I’d rather have people like him in the squad than shirkers like Bothroyd or Eastwood. He was a decent suad member but the Championship was his limit. Maybe we can offer him(or D Ward or Shackell) as part of a deal for Fox, Lallana or McCarthy. As for the 4 year contract, tat virtually guarantees that we will make a profit on him, so good move by th 3Ms.

Sad to see some of the comments. He was part of a squad that got us promotion after all, and I’m sure would be first to admit to some of his limitations…I wonder if some of the people who post comments would be so honest.On an allied topic…far rather Mancienne on loan than Balde…or buying Zat Knight for that matter.

I don’t cheer when penalties are given away either, and like i’ve said, i was one of the biggest critics of Neil’s ability. Its just that as a supporter i prefer to get behind any player wearing that gold and black shirt as i think it might give us a better chance of being successful than jumping on a players back whenever an inadvertant mistake is made.

Time for a reality check methinks:
1) You don’t buy a defender to score goals – although it is always a bonus if they can put the ball in the net. If you’re a poor defender, you’re a poor defender irrespective of however many late goals you contribute.
2) Any professional footballer should work their guts off for the team so the fact that Collins always gave 100% and didn’t complain is irrelevant. The fact that others whinge says more about them than it shows up Collins for being virtuous.
3) Most objective fans never rated his defending. He was accident prone and lacked pace.
4) Those of you who think it was a stroke of genius putting him on a 4 year contract for re-sale purpose forget that his salary would have been improved as a result which compares strangely with players of arguably greater ability who have never been given the same level of chances or contract…Jones, Gobern and Little – to name but 3.
5) I think close season deals have been excellent but the spirit of pre-season euphoria shouldn’t blind us to the reality that MM grossly misjudged his ability and this announcement is an endorsement of that. I wish the lad well – as do many others – but I’ll save my tears for those who never had a chance when they deserved it rather than one who has lived off misjudged generosity for the last year.

we should sell Craddock aswell,there is no room for sentiment in the premiership,no pace

as brummie wolf says our squad may not include premier experience but as with the stearman signing last season has got experience
Hannahman (prem)

Jones (prem)
Kightly (int)
Seb (int)
Keogh (int)
vokes (int)
Hennerssey (int)
Edwards (int)

so lets just get behind them they have experience just not in the prem and the only way to gain that is to play there (the season may be hard ) but if we can stay up then we will have learned as a group of players as a club and set of fans and more importantly as a collective family unit Wolves is ours lets all stick together

You are kidding right? What about the dozens of footballers given free transfers at the moment? Well, lets all feel for them and sign them on.
Mick has made very few mistakes, but giving Collins a 4-year contract was undoubtly one of them. The only reason he did so was because the fans was on his(Collins) back and stubborn Mick wanted to show who was in charge.

I am very confident of us staying up, we have added undoubted quality to our squad. Bring Nolan in as club Captain. Joe Ledley and Michael Mancienne will do nicely.

67 – well said. Totally agree with you.
Mick has made some excellent signings – Jarvis, Kightly, Ebanks-Blake to name some. Collins was a mistake, and should move on the a bottom club in the Championship or a League One club.
Talking about profit. Mick bought Collins in 2004 when in charge of Sunderland, then paying Dumbarton £25,000.
3 years later, having played 18(!) league games for Sunderland, Mick buys him again, this time paying £150,000 for him. To this day, I am wondering, how on earth he managed to play so well in those 18 games, that his value grew so much.

I would rather have a guy like him in the prem who WILL create chances for others due to the problems he will cause defences cos the guy will run himself into the ground for the cause, and has done so on many occasions last season if you recall. He is still young yet and I’m sure given a run in the side will do the business. Anyone remember Derby away? Just imagine a player like him coming off the bench to terrorise an already worn out defence late in a match or would you prefer a lazy player like Viduka? I wouldn’t.
I don’t know if any players read these comments or not but if they do, Is it going to improve their confidence for the season ahead. I THINK NOT!

The hostility felt towards one of our own players is shocking, this lad, who lets face it always knew deep down that he wasn’t good enough for the Prem, gave his absolute all to the cause last season. And I don’t care what anybody has to say, he was brilliant in the air, just a bit clumsy on the deck, and mistake prone.
As for comments about why he was given chances above other players, Jones – we had cover his position, Gobern, I think you’ll find he was injured, Little – would you of dropped Foley last year then?
But why do people have to lambast the lad for this, even when he’s on the way out. I think its because there’s a section of very bitter support who can only express happiness in others failings.

112 Agree entirely. He is a Tesco (WB=West Bromwich) Even his Inglish gives him away.

Thanks for the service you gave, Neil -even though it was a mixed bag, if truth be told. Best wishes for the future because we know you gave 100%, if nothing else.
Question is, how is it that Mick’s suddenly bright enough to see Neil’s obvious limitations, yet, just a year ago, Collins was awarded a huge, 4 year contract? Did Mick REALLY think Collins was good enough to warrant it? Daftest decision in years, I’d say, considering the bloke’s a bit of a liability.
If Wolves merely recoup what they paid, that’s a result.
