Dear Oh Dear

Told you before. No one wants the job.

If this is true then we are an embarresment! It points to a knee jerk reaction to a poor result to Sandwell and no major plan for a replacement of better calibre than what we had. Admittedly we where losing faith with McCarthy but at least we had a manager that out of all the bottom 5 has the experience to get us out of the predicament we are in. Then whatever division we are in shake his hand thank him for the incredible work he has done and start a recruitment drive safe in the knowledge that we have more than 2 weeks to find some one. What the hell is happening to our club! On the flip side I hope its a smoke screen for recruiting someone who is not on the radar….. we can but dream!

Report abuse

I don’t blame Curbs for rejecting a pathetic offer of 3 months. They should show some faith in him for the long term. Look what he did for Charlton.

As for the other managers supposedly in the frame. No thanks, they’re a step backwards from MM. If you can’t find a decent replacement then go and get MM back.

Where’s the ambition?

Curbs a very loyal manager…

Play up the wolves!

Report abuse

What a total shambles. How much does Moxey get paid? I said before that other Clubs seek a replacement Manager BEFORE sacking their existing one. The great work everyone at the Club (including Mick) has done over the last 5 years is being ruined and we will soon be back to square one. Utter disgrace.

Pay the money, and just get Benitez in until the end of the season.

What a mess the board have got us into! The whole saga is an embarrasment. Bad timing, a lack of candidates and an indecisive Morgan is going to cost us.

I’d go for Lee Clark now and ask Kevin Keegan to come in alongside him for 13 games to give him the help and experience in the short term.

Either way we have to appoint someone soon otherwise we may have well as stuck with mick as it looks like we’re championship bound!

Sack the board may well be the next chant from the south bank unless they act decisively and swiftly.

Given the situation we are now in (i.e no Curbishley or Warnock available) would Bruce REALLY be that bad ? Must admit he does not exactly set the pulses racing but do Moxey and Morgan have much other choice at this stage. I know he is another “old school style” manager but he does have premiership experience. Has to be better than clipboard until the end of the season surely ???

Surprised Roy Keane has not thrown his hat into the ring.

The answer is already obvious. He walks amongst us. He’s at the end of our nose. He doesn’t talk but we all still listen. He is never seen out of a black puffer jacket. He never smiles, favoring the look of deep thought. He can point at things nobody else can even see. He get’s through a thousand biro’s a week and carries a laminated piece of A4 cardboard like no other man on earth, what’s more, he has ingeniously invented a metallic spring loaded clip to keep his top secret footballing notes of wisdom in place on a windy day. Fellow wolfies, I give you our saviour….Terry ‘The Clipboard’ Connor.

I really fear for our clubs future.We should be more concerned with the fact that managers such as Curbishley are rejecting Morgans approaches on the basis of a lack of a shared vision.Morgan has his own agenda and it does not have our club at heart.Believe me, his own personal agenda will involve milking our club dry of many of its assets and selling eventually to the highest bidder.We are his pension plan.He needs to go ASAP.I for one will not spend another penny piece at the club while he is there.

8) I totally agree. What an absolute shambles! Moxey aka the Fat Controller wants to earn his money – a very fat salary – while he can. If we have only spent £12m in transfer fees – it might be only £8m – we have shortchanged the many loyal supporters.
We have a major dilemma, as Clipboard is holding the reins and we have Bruce as favourite and many of us do not want him. A big gamble but should we go for someone like Wilkins and Clark or even better, push the boat out for Hughton!

Report abuse

BSD. Hey, guys hang on.

We all stock, lock and barrelled the bullet into Mad Mick mangerial post. First we sack MM, and now we should do the same to Mad Moxey.

There are no suitable long term managers out there currently so lets just give 3 month contract to the ‘Bouncing Bruise’ or ‘Hole in the way’ – come on you knoe who I mean.

If we are looking at long term we should get a foreign manager in as thay are usually the best in the long term. British manager are good but they seem to be prised away by the bigger clubs.

Lets face it we are going to be relgated. Then we need plan now for automatic promotion from the Championship – Sir Morgan, my advice is always available to you and it’s free as usual.

In Premiership terms your salary will equate to a shelf stacker in ASDA

You are not allowed to bring in your own personnel and must work with the muppets currently employed at the club.

A club, my club, with the history & potential to again becom one the biggest teams in the country is slowly looking like club with no idea what they’re doing…
We get rid of Mick with no clue as to who we want to fill his shoes, and big shoes they are, the most successful manager other than Graham Turner in my lifetime who sadly just couldn’t take us any further…
Morgan should have got rid at the end of 2011 giving a new manager the Jan transfer window to work with but no!!! Leaving us very much up the creak without a paddle…
It’s a great club with massive support all over the country, a club in a healthy financial position, a new stand almost up as part of a huge ground redevelopment & superb training facilities that are also set to get a facelift, a great job for whoever comes in…
So why the slow drawn out process??? I am starting to worry about the way the club is being run & concerned we’ve a problem behind the scenes somewhere, I hope to be proven wrong!!!

Now go and get Ray Wilkins in ASAP with Lee Clarke or Ince, perhaps even Zola or Vialli…
If not pay Brighton whatever they want for Gus Poyet & his team, would be money well spent as he will be a top manager in the not to distant future…

Unfortunately it is not a Manager we need, it’s a YES man . . . to Morgan and Moxey. Can you blame Curbishley turning his back, he obviously has a plan to take Wolves to where he feels they should be, but there is no support from the Chairman and CEO. If only we could leave the Manager of Wolves to manage the team. So it looks like second or third choice Yes men. Looking forward, we will be in a similar position in five years time: fighting relegation or Championship football (and I am not getting any younger!!)

Report abuse

The latest round of interviews are taking place in reception at The Premier Lodge in Oldbury. It has been suggested that Wolves could appoint their first black manager. Not PaulInce as had been widely rumoured, but, Lenny Henry !

I still think a lot of this is press speculation. Lets face it, no-one apart from the powers that be, have a clue what is going on. Newspapers have to print something.

As frustrating as all this is, the media frenzy around this should be taken with a pinch of salt.

Was Curbishley approached again?? The newspaper suggests “sources” as their basis for this. How reliable are they? We dont know who they are…………. so to be fair we are taking newspapers work on it which is, by trade, at times unreliable and over glammed.

Report abuse

What an absolute shambles. Another poor piece of management work from the 2 Ms.
Why on earth did they not have a preliminary manager list ready to use upon Mccarthy’s sacking? Crazy!
The fact that we are now being turned down by championship managers just tops it off. Sure we might be in the championship come next season, :(, but we are without doubt a bigger club than Reading!
I have two main hopes in this mess:
1) We don’t appoint someone with hardly any experience, such as Zola.
2) We don’t appoint BRUCE!!!!

Report abuse

Couldn’t agree more with Sillywolf’s post!

Moxey said we will get the right man for the job and he’s turned us down twice.

On about Mic McCarthy being out of his depth i’m begining to think Morgan is as well.

The job of keeping us up is massive and with the players we’ve got i don’t blame Curbishly, he’s got nothing to work with. At least at West Ham he had Premier League quality and experience.

Get your cheque book out Morgan and do whats right and whats needed. This is your time to show the fans that you mean business.

So, maybe it wasn’t a case of Mick has taken Wolves as far as he can.

Maybe it was more a case of Mick has taken Wolves as far as anybody possibly could, with the feeble support the board are willing to give.

It occurs to me that Mick was managing Wolves for the love of football and little else. Nobody wants to manage Wolves under the same, if not slightly better terms.

What a joke.

I think this dispels the idea that if the board had been more decisive earlier we could have had O’Neill or Hughes. As if!

For me, it simply reinforces my personal view that we had the right man all along and should never have got rid of him.

Just a final point:
If Curbs wanted the job, what was said at that interview to put him off ending his 4 year exile from management? Does Morgan have a lack of ambition that we secretly don’t know about? Please reveal all Curbs! Very worrying.

We are a total joke, you offer someone like Curbishley a 3 month contract? Thats an insult, and he would treat it like one!

Report abuse

Why has the Wolves Managers job become a poison chalice?

Perhaps Messrs Morgan & Moxey you should consider these reasons:-
1. You have displayed a complete lack of insight & forward planning which beggars belief from two so called successful businessman.
2. You are not prepared to offer the going rate to attract the calibre of player / manager required to take Wolves to the next level (or indeed remain at this level).
3. You don’t appear prepared to commit to the new manager e.g. 3 month contract.
4. You have put the development of the ground, training facilities & academy before team development.
5. You have not been prepared to invest properly in new players instead opting for so called ‘young & hungry’ which should read cheap & untried.
6. You are two businessmen who have never played / managed / coached the game and can have absolutely no idea what makes a good football manager so how on earth are you going to make a measured decision when deciding who should be Wolves next manager?.

Take a long hard look at these facts Mr Morgan & Mr Moxey. As a season ticket holder for many years I am now despairing as to how low WWFC can sink under your poor misguided stewardship.

We need to see clear decisive action NOW before Wolves FC falls even further from grace.

Why are we not willing to pay decent money or offer a good deal to get the right man in? We are saving pounds here and there, but the fact of the matter is that if we get relegated we will end up losing our best players and will have to start again costing us twice as much money.

There would be no point Morgan or Moxey coming out and saying that the we are run well and so we wouldnt have to sell if we went down. Fact of the matter is most of these players would not want to have a season in the Championship and no doubt we would see the likes of Jarvis, Fletcher, Hennessey and others wanting to leave when other clubs come sniffing about.

The whole scenario stinks of incompetence of the highest level, with no planning or consideration of who to appoint when Mick was sacked.

As for Newcastle.. Perhaps the players can react and give us something to be proud of until the manager is announced.

This is getting crazy. It really shows that Wolves board had not contingency plan ready for such situations as this.. Most fans want Alan Curbishley, as this drags on, I can feel a lot of us becoming very disappointed if he does not come to us. I do not want I an Holloway, the guy does not believe in defence, he is just all out attack.. Exactly why we are in the problems we are in.. All out wing play and no solid midfield or protection for the defence. I wish people would get off Steve Bruce’s back. He is still a good manager. I would rather it be a 2 horse race between Bruce and Curbishley, than all these other names mentioned.

We are talking about the next Wolves manager, not the next clown to work in Mcdonalds.. We need someone who is calm tactical and inspiring. Someone who has experience at this level. We do not need an untried and tested manager. We are fighting relegation for God’s sake.

I may as well join the Moxey and Morgan circus…what about Bully with Robert Plant as his No2 (Robert can also do a turn at half-time)Mind you Fletch has said they will do it for Mick, in that case don’t bother to get a Manager at all the team will rally.

First time poster.

According to the host on WM phone in last night Curbishley was offered a two and a half year contract but HE only wanted to start with the 13 games then see where we are at the end of the season or what other jobs became available.

For what its worth, I still think he’s the best choice for the job so give him what he wants and if he keeps us up pay him handsomely to keep him here. We may have a decent future under him.

Failing that give the blues whatever they want for Chris Hughton.

If he was willing to take it on im sure he would have been here by now…

There are so many names going around at the moment but how many of these people actually want the job…

Curbishley is a non runner, Bruce- See above, Brian McDermott has played us by the look of it, Lee Clarke- Think its pie in the sky,Steve Bull- No Chance he cant manage at a low level couldnt do a job in the prem, Poyet- Wolves dont rate him obviously, Wilkins- Hasnt been considered obviously!

Noone wants it and ive got a nasty nasty feeling they will employ Terry Connor till the end of the season…

The job is becoming a poisoned challice and the more people speculate that such and such is going to be the manager the more damaging its becoming… We are at a point where these guys who there “talking to” will think hang on im not first choice for this im 7th or 8th… Its not the thing to be doing.

Reading between the lines it now seems likely that Steve Morgan had let Moxey run the show with absolutely no interferance until it became obvious we were heading back to the Championship,its now exposed Moxey as being totaly incompetant in having no plan B for a replacement manager,the more I think about it the culpable Moxey is for our current position his penny pinching and reluctance to replace McCarthy when he was clearly out of his depth has restricted this club from achieving mid table status,Steve Morgan should now think along the lines of bringing in a more football minded CEO who can take us forward.

Report abuse

Have followed this story for a while, across the web sites and radio wm. I’ve learned all about clipboard TC and who are premiership players and who aren’t.
I used to work in what was the new stand when it was built, even John Richards testimonial and stood with the Albion fans and had bits of brick thrown at me. But overall I’m more interested in the politics that evolve in a club.
I can see why you wouldn’t want Bruce . I can’t see why you’d want Curbishley – his time has come and gone and I think he is probably holding out for a longer contract so if it all hits the fan he will get a big pay out. We all thought Blues would be dead and buried this year after selling all their players, but they gambled on a younger manager and it payed off. While the Hun took an established Premier manager and they’ve bored their fans to death! Perhaps the Wolves should take a gamble on Ian Holloway or Ray Wilkins . Your not down yet and Many of the fans I spoke to said for twenty minutes against the Villa you were great. Give someone with a footballing brain, someone creative, get the ball on the grass.
I work in education and we use children as part of the appointment process for senior staff . It’s about time that football clubs introduced this facility when appointing managers. Then fans get people they think are right for the club and you mitigate the influence of tight- wads like Moxey.
Anyway, thanks for your thoughts. I hope you sort out a manager who encourages quality football and keeps you in the Premiership. Football is important in the Black Country and we’ve all been on the downside .

If anyone wanted to run Wolves the offer was there, all they needed to do was contribute £30m to a trust and convince Sir Jack that that they would be a good custodian of the club. Surely with all this amazing business advise on offer there were plenty of posters on this site who had run successful business that had generated the required £30m spare to invest… No? I’m surprised.
Personally I am relatively happy with the direction of the club over the past 4 years. The timing of the sacking of MM was clearly a difficult decision, not one I agree with, but there were a lot of posters on here were calling for his head almost every week. I think the honest approach of not directly consulting with candidates before sacking MM deserves commendation not criticising.
Like most I would love to know the details of the difference of opinion between Steve Morgan and Curbishley but until we do find out, being critical of either party is pointless. I wonder if we would have had the same problem with O’Neil if he had been still available…
Until an appointment is made I am going to reserve judgement.

Someday when this sorry affair is over, someone should write and publish a book based on the farcical events at WWFC entitled: “How not to replace a football manager in one easy lesson”.

CURBISHLEY HAS TURNED DOWN A TWO AND A HALF YEAR CONTRACT !!! HE ONLY WANTS 13 GAMES AND TO WALK IF WE ARE RELEGATED !!!!THIS IS NOT STEVE MORGANS FAULT SO RELAX AND WAIT FOR THE NEWS !!!

Report abuse

Mick had to go,the performances were getting worse and worse and relegation seemed inevitable.I’m sure that Steve Morgan was as surprised as the rest of us that the team was performing so badly.He had not expected to have to change the Manager at this stage in the season but was left with no choice,this explains why no contingency plans were in place.I believe that the Manager is the most important position at the club and we should not be panicked into employing someone who is not good enough(this applies to most of the names currently in the frame).If neccessary we should continue with Terry O’Connor-he wont do any worse than Mick.

Enough is enough M&M …… Dave Jones has clearly stated he would like the job, he knows how Jez works, has also worked with Roger Johnson at Cardiff (this could be a big boost for Johnson’s much needed confidence), many of the staff remaining at the club have also worked with Dave before, they say never go back to a Club, but on this occasion it could a quick transition for a much needed results purpose. Any manager with a ounce of confidence must have looked at our remaining fixtures and quite clearly seen we have to play many of the teams around us, so its a situation where if Dave Jones clearly wants the job why not give a whirl, he feels he was hung out to dry by Sir Jack Hayward when he last took them into the Premier League and feels he has unfinished business. COME ON WHAT HAVE WE GOT TO LOOSE NOW!!!! BRING BACK DAVE JONES

Can’t believe Sue’s right! You came over as such a sensible, level headed poster aswell!

At present I have to have a sense of humour when my football club is ‘publicly’ being run by clowns! For all the fault’s Jeremy Peace may have in baggies fans opinions would you swap him for our CEO? Obviously I don’t see your games but I was shocked when DiMateo (sp) was given his marching orders but there was a plan of action in place before reacting. Could he ring our Mr. Greaseball and explain it to him please?

Also, you’re right about my tough job! I keep trying to read all the latest opinions on this subject and customers keep interrupting me with orders and trivial things like that! Some people have no thought for what we in Wolverhampton are going through.

Ultimately you’re right, summat’ll turn up and it’ll probably be in the shape of Steve Bruce!
I keep telling myself not to read this posts. Can’t help myself! I vowed i’d never post and get involved. Couldn’t keep quiet any longer!

Best wishes for the rest of your season pal.
Hopefully play you next year but I very much doubt it!

Moxey and morgan are now being shown for what they really are, a pair of clueless fools. I think a lot of people realised mccarthy wasnt the only problem, but even i am suprised at how badly this has been handled.
I can only think that curbishley wanted funds to strengthen in the summer if he kept us up and morgan wasnt willing to meet his demands. We cant keep doing it on the cheap and expect results, we dont have the coaches to get the best out of players and we wont pay the wages to attract top players, its a joke.
I just dont know what is going on in morgans head, why wasnt mick sacked in time for someone to sign players in january? Or was that the reason for not sacking him then?
If morgan isnt prepared to put money into the team then please try n sell us to someone that does.

absolute joke from start to finish we aint gotta clue. what person in there right mind would want to come to manage wolves to be a YES man. morgan you should of sacked the fat controller instead of mccarthy because he couldnt run a p*** up in a brewery. when are you gonna realise moxey is no good for WOLVES. jesus it aint rocket science. CHEAP CHEAP CHEAP thats all it is with wolves and the old saying goes you pay peanuts you get monkeys. whats left managerial wise? steve ” fatman ” bruce this is the guy who was taking sunderland down as quick as the titanic. alan curbishley who in my opinion would be good for wolves given the backing. but my vote would go to ian holloway look what he,s done for blackpool on a shoestring and also he has premier leauge experience and seems to get the best out of his players but thats my opinion as a wolves fan but lets face it moxey & morgan are not wolves through and through and thats been shown with lack of ambition and lack of funds. lets face facts wolves are in a right old mess and i fear that will take its toll with 13 games to go. why sack a manager and then not have a back up plan. MOXEY & MORGAN YOUR MAKING US A LAUGHING STOCK AND FANS WILL START TO VOTE WITH THERE FEET MARK MY WORDS.

Well its beginning to look like Bruce is the only one prepared to take the job on for 12 games. I say 12 games because its surely to late now to get a manager in before Saturday to prepare the team. I just had a gut feeling that this was going to end in bitter disappointment. MM must be laughing his head off now, I for one wanted him out, but before the January window, his sacking is proving to be just what it was a knee jerk reaction from a CEO and (disgracefully, because what was our biggest game of the season he missed and goes skiing for) absent Chairman. If Curbishley who knows a thing or to about football can’t agree with the Chairman about the way forwards, then as well as looking for a new manager, lets hope we get a new owner soon as well, because clearly Morgan is only interested in bricks and mortar.

Gone a bit quiet today on the who will, who won’t be interviewed next merry go round.

This is starting to get embarrassing, we can’t even prise away a championship manager to the best league in the world, not that I wanted him anyway. What is wrong with our chairman? His words were along the lines of Curbishley is the type of calibre that we are looking for, Curbs wants the job so where is the problem? Give him what he wants and save our season!!! What was the point in getting rid of Mick if we’re not going to replace him with anyone better? Unless something is done now it will be too late and we will have an empty molineux next season, there is no way im paying to watch more relegation fodder football it’s time we stepped up!!! Does Morgan want us to progress or take a step backwards??? Well his decision in the coming days will tell the whole world the answer… Then all us Wolves fans will know where we stand. Curbishley in!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Simples!!!

cheers for the acknowledgement tater, sensible and level headed are two of my middle names. i’m sure you’ll find some more for me as times goes by. i rarely post on this side of the divide because, well, it’s none of my beeswax really is it?

tell ya what though mate, it is a shambolic state, they’ve gone and sacked a bloke-a bloke who would have just about kept ‘em up again i reckon-only to find they ain’t got a scooby doo how to go about replacing him. i only laugh at the usual anti-baggie, bigger-and-better-than-you brigade. irritating lot them am. but like i say, level headed is a middle name of mine, and couple that with the fact that my other half and her family are avid Wulfies, i don’t laugh too hard, else it’s domestic violence and removal of priveleges for poor Sherlock.

for what it’s worth, i still think Wolves will stop up. hope so anyway cuz these derby days make a season special, especially this season. 35, maybe 36 points will do it.

hang on in there tater, what goes around comes around. nice to meet ya, but don’t expect to see me again for a bit cuz these lot above am gonna start telling me where to go and whose business to mind any minute now.

oh, of course, in the unlikely event that Wolves win a game soon, and you find yourself sat here talking to yourself, just pop over to the Albion side, that’s where you’ll find ‘em….

Look guys, I don’t think its too much to ask that Morgan comes out and explains what his differences with Alan Curbishley’s views on the vision of our club.

I commented several times about the competence of Jez Moxey – and if we look back at a previous manager – dare I say the words Glenn Hoddle – Jez Moxey was guilty back then of not acting to rid us of Mr Hoddle but chose to dither and wait – and we ended up in a mess at that time – That wasnt simply down to Mr Hoddle – as imv Moxey was guilty of incompetence – simple as

Again now – when results are clearly lacking we look to blame the manager straightaway – No one seems to want to look closely at the ‘bigger picture’ or this new ‘shared vision’ of the club???

What exactly does this mean??? Is this the ‘Young & Hungry’ that Moxey spins like a top? Or is it purely a very limited budget that doesnt afford Wolves a Prem Proven Spine of a team???

One of the questions I would like to have answered is regards the backroom staff – Terry Connor & Co – TC has never been sacked? whilst Manager after Manager have come and gone – this man has never been a casualty in any campaign? Our Goalkeeping coach – Who is he??? (Another cheap recruit?) Tony Daley (A Fitness Coach? – says it all)

Imv we have always needed a good Prem capable coach – Stoke have Gerry Francis etc etc No offence intended to any of the above BUT in reality we have very little in the backroom that shouts ‘Premiership Quality’ More like just passed and that will do at that price

Maybe if Mr Moxey had done his job competently we would have far better backroom staff (Premiership standard) and a Manager already in place

I for one am not surprised that Mr Curbishley has turned us down TWICE – Who in their right mind would accept the task on the less than shoestring budgets???

There’s a clue in the name of the league Messrs Moxey and Morgan ‘Premiership’ The men behind the scenes are more than guilty of a lack of care and attention imv How can a CEO just sit back and watch as the club spirals and meanders with no leadership AGAIN Mr Moxey did this when Hoddle was here and then when Hoddle jumped ship he was more than happy for the gullable amongst us to blame Hoddle and then there was Mick McCarthy – who imv without a replacement manager to step in should not have been dismissed
My guess is that Curbishley couldnt see any progress without better investment and if I remember correctly that was why he left Charlton as he felt he had taken them as far as he could but his board didnt want to invest to take Charlton to that next level

A New CEO Manager Coach and Backroom Staff are long Overdue imv

Up the Wolves!

TOLD YOU ONCE..TOLD YOU TWICE..
IT’S GLEN ROEDER WITH PAUL INCE AS NO 2…..

Moxey not keen on Bruce’s record and they didn’t aproach Reading for McDermott either, just had a nosey at how long he,Poyet and Holloway have on contracts. They were all Plan B for next season if it went wrong..

Houghton first choice all along and they enquired but he does not want job..yet…if Blues stay down he will be at Wolves next year regardless of what league they in due to continous problems with Young the chairman and the financial restraints.

Curbishley wanted 2 and a half contract but Moxey felt that Houghton,Holloway,Poyet or McDermott would be more knowledgable of championship if they went down than Curbs!

Make Sense??? It will trust me..ROEDER AND INCE till May then Houghton….

how difficult can it be for you two jokers (morgan and moxey) to appoint a manager with premiership experience,who to my recollection has never been sacked from either clubs he’s been at,a man who knows how to keep clubs up and in the top 10 or higher and as at charlton they were relegated and came up as champions and were well established under his leadership,he also kept west ham up against the odds and only left after being undermined by the board when they sold players he didn’t wat to lose SO YES ITS CURBISHLEY!THE ONLY SERIOUS CONTENDER FOR THE JOB,the man with the right credentials right under your big noses,so its simple,offer him an offer he can’t refuse, stop the penny pinching,OFFERING PETTY 3 MONTH DEALS, going after the cheap championship unproven managers or bruce who may i add blew a big hole in sunderlands bank balance and they were still struggling under his leadership,any of the others for me would be a step backwards from mick mcarthy.so come on men get it sorted we dont have much time.failing that what about KEVIN KEEGAN?I’M SURE HE COULD GET OUR ATTACKING PLAYERS GOING AGAIN

OK, OK, despite a few reservations I will do it but I am not making any promises about avoiding the drop as I am afraid Mr Morgan and Moxey have left it rather late in the day to play this rather inane two chair version of postmans knock….

In all seriousness I expect an answer no later than the day before yesterday or the whole thing is off

Steve Bruce had his own Moxet problem at Sunderland, he had Niall Quinn! O’Neil has won that battle and Quinn has now resigned.

Bruce is a fighter, and he is the best we have available but he is walking into the Moxey minefield.

No money must be spent that affects Moxey’s bonuses! Moxey is a multi-millionaire on the back of exploiting the fans at Wolves, he is not going to let his income stream dry up to satisfy the smelly hordes called fans. He will spin the situation and as usual will survive and keep on going and making even more money!

215 Mick
Interesting post, thought provoking, written like a Board Member even, BUT hang on a minute don’t blame us fans that travel miles and spend our hard earned cash on this club for being passionate. It is us numpties/rebel rousers that have seen all these problems coming and an inept leadership at Wolves, out of touch and disengaged that has caused these problems. Mick is the worst ever EPL Mgr, his record spoke for itself BUT the Board stuck with him when it was clear he could take us no further, it was the same board that squandered £18m on that oh so wonderful news stand that WE did not want. And the same board that sacked Mick without a contingency and at a stupid time. So my friends, yes, we should all look at ourselves BUT it the Leadership of this Club that has to take most responsibility for this situation. A well run club is:
1) Successful on the field (unlike us)
2) Financially sound (questionable now we have spent £18m on stand)
3) Engages and includes fans (please share your vision with us because the message is inept cheapskates)

It’s also the press and national radio that have slated Wolves and that does not make me feel proud….so Board Members and JEZ Moxey LOOK AT YOURSELVES, before blaming US!!!

Why do successful, intelligent men loose all common sense when it comes to football?

I suppose the answer is ask Steve Morgan.

Fired a Manager as knee jerk reaction without having a replacement lined up; you would do that as a business man replacing a company MD? Thought not.

Set out the criteria for a replacement, changed it and changed back again as a result of fan pressure to names in the media. Presumably the business pages of the national press dictate Morgan’s company board appointments. No? Surely not.

Whilst there is an argument to suggest that it was time for Mick to go, the timing was daft. Before, with a transfer window open or in the close season would have made much more sense. At least have the cojones to admit you screwed up and you get some credit for that.

As for going forward, have the courage of your convictions, if you think it should be Steve Bruce (only on short term appointment in my view)then employ him. If not employ who you think is best suited for the job of avoiding relegation and don’t bow to fan pressure.
