I disagree young Stephen I feel you and the fans have been let down by the management, square pegs round holes. But I guess players will say things like that as they want to be in the team the next game. Come on lads give us a goal or two and three points with it, and please Mr Morgan get involved and make some tough decisions open that cheque book and Moxey’s 25 Mil in the bank too.

I wa calling for him to come on after 20mins, but he had no help from Jarvis who is useless, my lad who is 15 said why does he run round like a headless chicken.

The main problem lies with the board Moxey made a recorded statement that we would not do an Albion so what have we done brought a group of players with no premiership experience which is exactly what they did, he also stated we had to get the cheque book out well i think our purchases are almost exactly the same as the Albion, false promises in fact now i believe they were lies to sell bums on seats.

I thought it a bit insulting when the advert came on at half time asking people to buy half season tickets lol

MM though tactically whe has the full backs stoped over lapping to create space or a centre half running with the ball, yesterday was embarasing the 2 lads up front must have thought whats this all about give to the goalie then launch it 60 yards to 2 giant centre halves unbelievable. Watched the Chelsea game afterwards and who made the first 2 goals a full back. Last year it worked this year we look scared.

I fear the worst but the board really need to look at themselves and say did we really do enough.

I think its about time that Mick answered some questions about his summer signing that were suppost to make us into a stable premier team.Such as Surmon,Zuber,Halford,average players at best players for the CHAMPIONSHIP!!!!!No Premier Quality.

Every team can have an off day but that took the ****, the bottomline is that we are not good enough, the hierachy at the club have not been willing to invest the money which could have bought us premerleague experience and settled for 2nd best, all this talk from steve morgan in the summer that there will be no repeat of our ill-fated campaign in 2003 well guess what steve youve spent more and you are in a worse position. Either put up or shut up and invest in the team otherwise come february we will be down and believe me the fans will be calling for Mick’s head, the booing has already started and if we play like that against Bolton it will get even worse.

Sorry am I missing something, the first half was poor the second half was worse. The highlight of the day was the drying of the ball with a blue towel. Shocking tactics from MM, I felt sorry for Halford why sub someone after 25 mins, Kightly made no difference at all clearly not fit, and as for “Blake” how much weight does he need to put on, maybe thats why he falls over so many times. Super Mick.

I dont understand why people are having a go at the board. MM has been given money and he has completely wasted it. Of all the players he has brought he deems only doyle to be better than what we had as the are all on the bench.WHY spend it if it doesnt improve your team.
MM is not up to the job he has won just 8% of games he has been in charge of after taking two championship winning sides up. He has no idea of his best team. we played long balls straight to there centre backs all game. Get Rid now

I have to admit to happy clapping more than not, but alls wearing thin now. If we dont beat bolton i think that will be it. I still think we should scrap this narrow pitch and start playing football on a larger surface area and stop hoofing it up to verticly challenged players. Doyle needs better service he’s being let down.

It really is starting to show that Mick is tactically inept. At a ower level Mick seemed to be able to make a purse out of a sows ear. He did well with Ireland, but really he only carried through the good work laid down by Jack Charlton. He managed the impossible getting Sunderland & Wolves promoted, only to look out of his depth on both occasions.

Everyone must remember that we got promoted with a very poor centre midfield, with no creation. If it was not for the wingers, we would of been mid table.

Keough seems to have dropped out of favour, I would bring him back in place of Ebanks-Blake, as at least he gave some creation up forward. If Mick has any chance of keep his job he must stick with a settled team & work his socks off at 3 main things. The centre of defence & the lack of ability to defend the goal. The creativity in midfield & the right pairing up front. Play to players strengths, not the strength of the opposition, for in doing that we lose our own game plan, that is why we have looked bereft of ideas of late as we are not playing to our strengths. Merley just being by standers watching the opposition dictate the game.

Sadly I feel Mick has one gamne left in him and I feel he should walk if he does not show the early season promise in the next game. Remember, we have bad blood with Bolton, especially after their poaching of Davies & previous playoff dramas. It really is like a local derby. Let’s just hope things turn around fast, but I doubt it.

Report abuse

Statistics show the first goal is crucial in this league and we are finding out the hard way. Blues got the goal and then defended superbly all over the pitch to stop us building up play. Credit must go to them for that.

Until we play someone in the middle though who actually wants the ball to feet (Milijas? Castillo?) we havent a prayer. The back 4 were often left with no choice but to play thre ball long due to Henry / Edwards hiding.

A very honest comment from Stephen Ward, pity Mick isn’t honest enough to admit he and clipboard aren’t up to it. Tacticaly and Team selection wise they are inept. Before the happy naive clappers retaliate about these comments they need to realise they are the minority. I have supported Wolves for many years and I despair with the rubbish served up. It was a real Sunday league performance against a B-ham side who are nothing special but at least have a method to their play. Our plan was obviously boot the ball as far upfield as possible onto the heads of Johnson and Dann. As the pressure continues to build MM will no doubt start his usual rantings about the fans. Unfortunately with Steve Morgan (alias Mr Anonymous) and Jez (Mick is the man for us) Moxey we are only going one way and it certainly isn’t upwards. We need a change of management and training staff now. MM has taken us as far as he can. Now before the happy clappers tell me to keep away I will be there against Bolton regardless.

Totally agree with 3 its not the players fault,they are championship players doing their best.The tactics used on Sunday were beyond belief and I suspect the players know that themselves.The situation reminds me so much of our first season in the Premiership under Dave Jones: once again trying to compete at the top level on the cheap.When you consider how well Burnley and Blues are doing it makes you wonder what is going on at our club.

Yesterday was a disgrace.
Perhaps the only positive was Ward’s comeback. At least he looks comfortable in the position. Mick you need to ring the changes. SEB I’m afraid hasn’t done anything all season and has to be dropped. Try the Hoff & Doyle upfront. Yesterday’s tactic of hoofing the ball from defence to Doyle & SEB was mindless. Do that if there is a Iwelumo or Vokes but not to that pair. Milijas must start against Bolton – the only one who shows any real quality when passing. Bit harsh to drop Hennessey I thought, lets see if Mick’s prepared to make changes elsewhere.

I think it was our lowest home attendance yesterday – I guarantee it will be a lot less next saturday. Are the players prepared to do a Wigan and refund the fans who paid best part of £40 for yesterday’s embarrassment!

The time for all the talking is over, MM and his team are not good enough at this level. I can’t criticise tactics because we don’t appear to have any apart from the big boot. We have international players who hardly get a look in, obviously they aren’t yes men and wont run around like the proverbial headless chicken. (translated, means putting a shift in) Get someone in to train tactics, recognise individual skills and the difference between square pegs and round holes. Anyway it’s already been written a million times on these pages. Nuff said

Interesting listening to the post match analysis on Sky. I didn’t realize we spent more money than Brum or Burnley on transfers yet here we are behind them both. Seems to poke holes in the “didn’t spend enough” theory. Brum bought experience, we bought youth and potential; we now know which was the wise choice!
It’s obvious after the numerous 50 yard punts up the pitch bypassing the midfield that MM has no faith in Henry & Edward; both put in a good shift but are way out of there depth in this league. The Blues defense owned Doyle and Seb all afternoon while our rearguard looked very amateurish.
The most disappointing aspect of the afternoon was the lack of passion and work rate compared to Brum. This was a local derby; pride and bragging rights at stake and we didn’t show up.
I’ve said it before in this forum and I’ll say it again; it’s amazing how certain players shine so bright in the championship but look so out of depth in the premiership. We need premiership players with experience not good championship players with unproven potential.
I believe our season (and manager’s fate) will be decided by 3:30 on December 20 after the Burnley game.
Coppell or Curbishley? Or even Steve McLaren; he has FC Twente at the top of the Dutch league and in Europe. I bet he’d love another crack at the Premiership!!!!

HO hum, the sun shone and on a late autumnal afternoon, the match was effectively over after the 1st 2 minutes. The ball was passed from side to side, again and again, until one envisaged a pendulum duly stuck in its groove till eternity.

Here we are, comforting to see that the Molineux PR department is still up and fully functioning for a Monday.

Wardy, believe me, YOU’ve got nothing to apologise for, so don’t. It’s no surprise that as the best player in a Gold shirt yesterday, you’ve been sent out to address the fans. Maybe when asked to perform this onerous task you should have passed the mantle across the dressing room to Greg Halford, or maybe he’s busy with his screw driver mending his seat in the dug out after putting a boot through it!? If only he showed the same passion on the pitch as off it.

Always said as soon as we reached the Prem, get a decent manager in. You can see from MM tactics that he has not got a clue, players simply not good enough, most on very long contracts which gives no incentive to make too much of an effort

SACK HIM NOW – ( may be too late anyway )

Report abuse

Having sat through a replay of our insipid performance last week against Chelsea, I was anticipating a better display on Sunday. I missed the game live but got to read many reports and listen to MM’s interview on Sky and decided I could not subject myself to yet another poor performance by watching the recorded match. All of the media, including the Manager, were agreed that our performance was unacceptable!!!

MM made some really daft and condescending comments about Birmingham before the game to the effect that they were no Arsenal or Chelsea and making a dismissive claim that they had “some creativity”. Well, they clearly do have some creativity whereas we have, to date, shown none!!!

It seems to me that the management has to make immediate changes – if the players could not get up for the Brummies then it is clear that the plot has been lost. A new Manager/Coach needs to come in NOW to assess the squad, make tactical adjustments and have a chance to determine who can be brought in in the January transfer window that canmake a difference – although it will be very difficult to attract anyone given our track record. Accepting relegation surely cannot be acceptable – this Club needs to be in the top flight. We may have 25 million in the bank now but relegation would prove costly and I really doubt we would come straight back up. The Championship is a lottery.

My vote, assuming the man wants the job, would be Steve Coppell. Intelligent,and given to minimising his comments to the press ( much needed at the moment),Coppell has experience and can command respect from the players. Something has to change and quickly!!!

Report abuse

I think MM is now on borrowed time, why did we play 4 centre backs in defence?? You can not get away with it at this level.

We have enough full backs, Foley, Elokobi, Friend, Malone. Elokobi I can see why he is not playing but friend and Malone must be worth a go.

Also all we did against blues was play long ball, so please explain why the tallest man in premiership history is on the bench!!!?? SEB and Doyle are wasted they have no service. Torres or Rooney could be up front for us it makes no difference as we create nothing.

We have gone backwards since winning that championship, we played with no fear. And all of a sudden we are light rabbits in car headlights. Every press conference from MM is negative worrying about other teams and building them up. Why not concentrate on us for a change?? And stop worrying about what anyone else is doing??

I personally don’t blame the players.to be fair they always give there best but majority of our sqaud are championship players playing in the premiership.The blame lies fully with the manager and his limited maagerial nouse.
I applaud mick for getting us up to the prem but i just believe he is good enough to keep us up in the prem.His stubborness will be his downfall.
We are so predictable as we lack qaulity all over the park and constantly play players out of position which you can’t get away with in the prem.I felt sorry for greg halford yesterday when the crowd cheered when subbed.it’s not his fault mick played him out of position.he’s a full back so play him there.
Our lack of buying premiership qaulity experience players is now coming back to haunt us and until mick starts to admit to himself that the likes of,henry,edwards,jarvis,craddock etc just aren’t good enough for the premiership then we’ll go down.I don’t blame these players as they give their all but bottom line is they just ain’t good enough.
Problem is we need to do some serious business in january but who’s going want to come to us if were rooted in bottom 3.
I have never sung the super mick song as i think he’s been disrespectful to us wolves fans in the past and although he’s got us to the prem i just believe he’s out of his depth in the premiership.I would replace asap to give a new man a chance to get his own players in jan and give us a fighting chance before its to late. Alan curbishley is my choice.

There seem to be a hint coming out of Molineux that the second half performance was OK…WHAT A JOKE.

It was a dyer performance from start to finish. Confidence has gone and with it any reasonable performance level.

But has Mick’s confidence also gone? The body language ain’t good.

If I was running the club I’d give him the Bolton game and that would be it I’m afraid.

If he plays the same side we’ll get beat. If he makes drastic and wholesale changes we have more chance…Stearman at CH (we’re crying out for someone who can carry it out), Foley RB, Milijas & Castillo in midfield. Drop Henry.

O Boy big decisions for Mick…I can’t see him making them. I hope he does because I think he’s a decent bloke.

MM is not the problem at Molinuex its the board – FACT! We were the innovators of world football now all i hear is we need to do a Hull. Pathetic!

Its obvious we need quality all over and we’ve got it. SEB doesn’t score tap ins neither does Doyle. Foley, Kites, Ward (got ot give him a chance up front again), Henry come on we love these blokes they’re our team they’ve just lost their way abit. They need leadership and direction on and off the pitch.

The Molineux board’s mission statement is very clear –
Step 1 – Win promotion and put £50+m in the bank hence ring fencing Steve Morgan’s initial investment!
Step 2 – Spend minimum in transfer market and fool fans into buying season tickets and put more money in the bank.
Step 3 – Pay below average wages, increase capactiy and put even more money in the bank.
Step 4 – Be in bottom 3 at christmas say its not worth spending any obvious hence keeping money in the bank.
Step 5 – Get relegated, sack manager and use him as scape goat for poor season. Put parachute payments into bank.
Step 6 – Get in new manager tell him there’s no money in bank and that he’s got to use free transfers and loans but expect promotion of sleeping giant etc,etc…..
Step 7 – 5 or 6 seasons in Championship, sell players bought on cheap to make profit when parachute payments stop.
Step 8 – Sack manager again for not winning promtion. Get big name manager in raise expectations, give him a fraction of the money the club has made over the last 7 or so years.
Step 9 – Win promotion to Premier League. Bank another £50+m, give manager peanuts expect world bank lots of money!
Step 10 – See step 2 oh and count all the money!!!!

Is it just me being cynical or does anyone else agree. I really enjoyed writing this by the way!!

Why o Why do you play Halford (Long throw) and have hoff on the bench, that can compete in the air. Start with this combo then change it if it dont work.

Castilo & Milijas played together peviously, so whathas changed Mick?….Im afraid you have me and 1000′s of others cluless with your tactics, and you have had enough time to have a go, but as frank said “an now the end is near”, im afraid its time for you to do the honorale thing and get your coat along with clipboard & mountain and let someone like Houlier & Ferguson/Ince in to give the 2nd half f the season a go….Thanks for getting us up in to the prem, but if you stay that will be forgotton ike a certain Mr Jones.

62 – The Dreamer

“Let’s face it – we are in a worse position than the league table shows.” I agree.

From my little survival league, based on a targeted 37 points and grading home/away form and teams in 3 different categories, I have the following:

Portsmouth -7
Wolves -5
Hull -2
Bolton 0
West Ham 1
Blackburn 2

Anything that we pick up away from home in our next three games (Spurs/Manure/Liverpool) is a bonus. But even if we picked up 6 points at home from the next two, we’d only get back to 3 behind schedule. assuming nothing from the next three away games.

What really dissappoints me is the fact that we went up as champions last season and now look! blues, lucky to get promoted last year, have now overtaken us. Burnley, up through play offs, clearly a better side than us and with less investment. We meanwhile have gone backwards. The sweet flowing wide play of last season has been strangled by narrowing the pitch. Trying to do a Stoke, but we aren’t Stoke, we are Wolves. MM has made some foolish choices in selection and tactics. And the choping and changing on Sunday smacks of a desparate headless chicken who realises his days are numbered. Lets hope so. I know not all agree but why don’t we give the Hoff a few games. His scoring record is good. No one else is getting goals and we can’t bring anyone in until January. Give the beast a go he can’t do worse than what is being done at the moment. Doyle is quality and is so different to the Hoff. Maybe, just maybe the two of them up front will ‘hit it Hoff’.

A comment I posted earlier today…

…I think this season is definately about damage limitation..Wolves as we are led to believe have a healthy bank balance bolstered by premiership tv revenue. Working on the 07/08 season Derby picked up 29.1 million for finishing bottom with parachute payments amassing to between 6.5 to 11.4 million for the first 2 seasons out of the premiership. Interesting to note Boltons 08/09 accounts showed that although they finished 13th in the league, they lost 13.2 million and there net debts rose to 64 million. Personally, this brings me back to what I said earlier.. just like our economy.. I think the state of a lot of the lower end premiership teams is dire.. a bubble ready to pop. No wonder a two tiered premiership has been touted. Damage limitation with just a slight sniff of survival? We’ll see shortly!

Unfortunately Business is business! Debt for me is gonna have its say sooner or later in this league.

Fair play to you Stephen for saying you let the Wolves fans down. I was absolutely gutted at what I saw yesterday, it was appalling what happened to the fight. Please Ebanks love you to pieces but can you please stay on your feet when he gets ball and stop crossing the ball across the pitch we need to move forward and not backwards and across and you need to stop hoofing the ball up the field. At the start of the season you were playing the ball on the ground and when you do that you are a good side. |I know the likes of Chelsea,Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool etc are going to be difficult but we should not have the attitude that we are not going to get anything out of them because at the end of the day any team is beatable and if you watch there passing its on the floor not hoofing up field and if we play like I know we can we can beat the likes of these teams. Come on lads get your act together because yesterday you were a disgrace. I dont think getting rid of MM is the answer but the team and MM must get their heads together and discuss what is best for the team and if like some of you fans say,that the boys are not happy then it should be up for discussion. Have a debate with each other and each and everyone of you put your points across to one another. By the way this is only my opinion. I love the Wolves and want us to stay where we are PREMIERSHIP just like all the fans

The way i look at it its exactly the same as 2003 Sir Jack thought we wre good enough to compete in the premier league, remember we beat newcastle in the cup in a one off game and bless him he thought we could compete week in week out. Its the same this time we all thought 4 or 5 of our players would step up to the mark in the premiership but unfortunately they have,nt and the most dissapointing one for me is Seb, you dont become a bad striker over night i think he needs a break and go and get his head right. Apart from Doyle the players bought in are no better or have,nt been given a chance, there,s no balance in the side and we look disjointed. Unless we bring some experience in in january i fear the worst. Mick has got to go to Moxy and say we tried the cheap option now we need to spend some real money and bring some quality in..

Its weird how this time last season everybody wanted Keogh dropped and now we’re in the PL everyone (including myself) wants him back in the squad. Hate to say this coz I do have a lot of respect for SEB but he just aint up to it yet. Out of the 2 games we’ve actually won this season, Keogh had a hand in both them. We need him back in for Bolton.

How dissapointing. If we don’t beat Bolton on Saturday then looking at the fixtures we would probably be bottom at Christmas where as history has shown, there is no way back. We have to face the reality that Mick and Jez will very soon be planning how to assemble a squad that could bring us out of next season’s Championship. Never mind .

Can’t believe people are throwing Darren Fergusons name into the hat; Ince hasn’t exactly got a great premiership record either. Coppell or Curbishley? Or even Steve McLaren; he has FC Twente at the top of the Dutch league and in Europe, I bet he’d love another crack at the Premiership!!!! Whoever it is the decision needs to be made sooner rather than later. Looking on the bright side, if we do get relegated who better to get us promoted than MM

Come on everybody and get behind your club. Get rid of those rose tinted specs and accept the truth. Get rid off the board, Moxey and the so called management The club throughout cannot compete in this league. I don’t blame Morgan, I think he is blindly led by McCarthy and Moxey. He is nieve where football is concerned, he has done what we all dream of, owning your own football team, but there it stops. Like most of us we wouldn’t have a clue.
MM has never been and never will be a top class manager, he can get you out of the championship, but there it ends. I have support the Wolves since 1966, and seen some dire years. But since we have grown has a club I have expected better since the late 90′s early 2000′s. We have not improved a great deal since then. This club needs quality players whatever the cost, at this present time apart form Doyle I can’t see many others. I did not renew my season ticket after the season before last because I hadn’t watched so much dross for about 20 years under MM. Alright I missed out last season, but although we got there it was god damn hard work. When all was talking about we have a side to survive, I was wandering what type of football they had seen previously. It was obvious even with the pre season signings we were lightweight. You have to compete in this league and buy premiership quality, 1,2 or maybe three players would have been enough, including Doyle. If we struggled then try so more in January. I do not like McCarthy, he cannot handle big name players and likes the yes men about him. Lokk at Pulis at Stoke, he has bought players who could be an handful and even got Peter Reid to support him. Who does big Mick have? Clipboard O’Connor. This club has the ambition to be a yo yo club. I am not prepared to accept that, get rid of MM and his mates, including Moxey. Okay we will still get relegated, but we wont have to go through this season in and season out.

on the way to the game my son was sick. Perhaps he knew i had just wasted £100 on 3 tickets. One thing was for sure all 3 of us were sick at watching players who seemed not to care.Clueless in tatics, lacking in confidence and ruderless in the middle.

121 – Thanks, finally someone who actually made me laugh. It’s been a tough weekend in the optimists corner, and I still can’t find a positive from the game. We were clueless and as a few people have said the long ball came from a lack of desire of the midfield to recieve a pass, which is a sign of a lack of confidence. So we could moan or go again next week. If Bolton beat us I promise I’ll give up hope too.

All the problems start with the defence. Craddock and Berra are not even good enough for the Championship. Will the Manager ever sign a decent defender?

A few people who have posted on this site seem to think that Moxey and the rest of the Board are blameless for our current plight. They need to consider that Moxey and the Board laid down the financial parameters the wage levels and caps on transfer fees.I am sure this resulted in Mick Mc Carthy not getting his main tagets other than Doyle. Moxey will always go for the cheaper option and to counter this the club badly needs a Director of Football on the Board.This doesnot absolve Mick from some blame,because he did say he was happy with the signings made.

“Letting down” is putting it mildly.I would have thought that the players would need to be motivated after the past couple of results and an importatnt game.What happened was waving the white flag of surrender.This is unforgivable.

I can’t understand why everybody is getting so excited. Mr Moxeys’ business plan is working splendidly. We havea Premiership team being paid Championship wages. If we go down, then there is a huge parachute payment that will be all profit.

The only area of concern is with the players, where it was hoped that some of them would earn the respect of Premiership managers and attract profitable transfer fees if the team is demoted. However, we still have some months to go and a few may yet come good and measure up to Premiership standards.

For those calling for Mr McCarthy to be sacked just stop and think. He has a contract and that will have to be paid out if he is sacked, so it will not happen as that would affect the bottom line profit.

All round Mr Moxey deserves congratulations in turning WWFC into a very profitable business, and he truly deserves the £1M+ bonus his efforts of the last two seasons will earn him and the board.

I’m still fuming after this display. I was made redundant back in August so my precious cash that I wasted on my ticket stings. I dont mind seeing my team beaten if they work their socks off and put in some effort but yesterday was a real low point. I’m afraid I won’t be shelling out again until they get some idea of how to put some effort in! Sorry!

HAS MICK GONE YET!

Time to bring in an experience premiership manager. Bring in CURBS! Give him money in january and we may have a chance in staying up!

Report abuse

OK

We need to playt a settled team. We need to play Milijas every week, get Vokes back and play him or hoff alongside Doyle.
This team does not turn bad overnight, they have lost confidenece and are utterly bereft of leadership.

We need to sign a few players who have seen this before like Nolan, Davies, Butt to play alongside a midfield of Milijas and castillo.

We need a player who can play alongside Doyley.

We need a secure defence–even campbell but experienced players like Nicky Shorey

Above all, sadly, we need a manager like Steve Coppell

A spiritless performance if any amd if there are no improvement then we must as well raised the white flag.

The lack of confidence in every departmeent is indeed worrying. The strikers are firing on empty creating more fouls than goals, the midfield lack creativity and conviction and with a almost porous defence. Indeed its a daunting task ahead.

It is a time for reflection on the goals set and channeled all the resources to up the ante and a rebound in the team play. A commitment that is team Wolves to re-establish the confidence of the fans that had given their loyal support through thick and thin.

It is imperative that Team wolves does not let the fans down again.

In darkness cometh light. Wolves forever.

I can’t believe what I witnessed at the weekend. Being in Australia we get to watch all the games live (I think bar 2 so far). We have played well on occassion and deserved more from some games. But we have no attacking options. SEB is useless at this level given the tactics the rest of the team are playing.

The performance on Sunday made me question why I sit up at 1am every week to watch this dribble. In fact, it made me so angry I wondered why I even still support the team.

If we want to save the season then we need to look at a new manager. I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt until the Bolton game. Anything less than 3 points and he should walk (himself). Then we need to get points from the next 4 games (yes – that next 4!).

Otherwise he must go.

I think that Mr Morgan owes all a statement. We have done our bit, we bought tickets and we have supported the team better than any others would.

We believed it would be different this time, because Mr Morgan said so.

I don’t think that he will run from the situation, but we desperately need to hear the considered thoughts of the Chairman, that’s what he is there for!

Report abuse

All I can say is that based on what has happened so far – Liverpool fans should be thankfull that Mr Morgan didnt get his hands on their club!!!

Imv Moxey is more than satisfied with MM – A manager that is good enough to make us a yo-yo club and does’nt complain about funds etc

If true, and Moxey does own the catering at the Mol – Why not all fans buy their drink and food BEFORE each home game and boycott Moxey’s pocket – that would hurt far more than any chants etc

Moxey should be made to endure the fans anger at his “Job done” comments – but in reality does anyone really believe that he goes home as upset as many of us in the stands???

These people are in this for a reason – our money at games

Imv, NOTHING will change and in Jan 2010 even more inept purchases will be made – the obvious will happen and the Happy Clappers will await next season in the Chumpionship along with us “fickle fans” who hoped for better – or at least a squad that are capable of making a fist of it at least in the Prem – Dream On – Merry Christmas Moxey – I’m sure your Bank balance will agree!

with the sky money must of covered all the players we brought in.

With the money from Sky, with the money gained from increased ticket prices and for simply going up as champions, has Morgan actually invested any money as yet?? Would be interesting to know just how much has come in and if he has actually had to dip into his own investment………..

If the board decide to let Mick go then I would like them to pay Burnley whatever it takes to get Owen Coyle if that fails Gerard Hollier or Steve Coppell. Alan Curbishley is a london boy and thats where he wants to stay. I am not sure getting rid of Mick is the right thing to do but Bolton is now a MUST WIN game along with BURNLEY. Man Utd and Spurs is not likely but I think its a case of bodies behind the ball and Keogh and Hoff up top holding the ball up. WE ARE WOLVES.

I was at the game on sunday and yes it was a poor performance. I kno we’ve had injuries but it no excuse for constantly playing poeple out of position. The back four in question. The two full backs, both being centre halfs anyway swapped over after about twenty minutes, which was basically the time it took them to settle into the game. So then they had to do it all again! Ronald zubar who we purchace in the close season plays at right back? I thought he was a centre half? Look at lee bowyers goal on sunday. Totally unmarked because the midfield had dropped back to form the defencive line leaving him totally unmarked! And the reason why they dropped back?? Because they have no faith in the defence! Some consistencey is need at the back, with the right player playing in his natural position! The book stops at mccarthy for that I’m affraid…

i hope those transfer rumours on ES are just that. We cant be seriously interested in rob hulse? He made NO impact at prem level under smegson, and the real clue is that smegson hasnt re-signed him at bolton.This team is dying out for some quality, leadership and experience.
MM, Moxley. Norgan YOU CANT GET ANY OF THESE ON THE CHEAP! or by looking at lower divisions. Under jones we had a worldwide scouting and recruitment of players which was working. I remember Camara, Olinfinana, carlos kamino, who couldnt get a work permiting the end. Now you all have your views on these players but i think they are substantially better than what we have in the squad now.
MM if you keep your job, and get to January – NO CHEAP BARGAIN BASEMENT 2nd division defenders, strikers, midfielders PLEASE in the transfer window.

LW – Do you honestly think Owen Coyle would leave Burnley and join a team 4 points adrift of safety? There are no quick fixes, bringing a manager in mid-season won’t suddenly turn you into world beaters. The fact is the whole Wolves team look out of their depth, the time to prepare for Premiership football is before the start of the season and you didn’t do that sufficiently.

You can only make minimal changes in January. The problem is the quality players you need will be snapped up by bigger clubs.
