Wolves fight to keep star men at Molineux

Wolves are “ready for the fight” to keep their top players this summer and today promised “nobody will leave this club unless it’s at the right price”.

Wolves are “ready for the fight” to keep their top players this summer and today promised “nobody will leave this club unless it’s at the right price”.

Chief executive Jez Moxey insists no-one else will be calling the shots as he prepares to lead the struggle to keep top targets Steven Fletcher and Matt Jarvis at Molineux.

The goalscoring duo head the list of candidates likely to attract offers from the Premier League Wolves left behind with last season’s relegation.

But both are under contract and will be subject to valuations in excess of £10m.

And Moxey is adamant Wolves are in a strong enough position to stick to their guns if and when rival clubs come calling.

He said: “We’re prepared for the fight.

“Because of the strict fiscal policies we have implemented over the years, we’re in a strong position to call the shots and not for someone else to call them because of third-party pressures.

“We have not got a bank saying ‘you need to reduce your overheads.’

“We have not got a third party club saying ‘we know you are in the mire – we will help you by buying so-and-so but, obviously, at a discount rate.’

“None of that will be happening here because of the clear strategy we have put in place. Nobody will leave this football club unless it’s at the right price for Wolves.”

Moxey says that none of last season’s players have yet indicated a desire to leave although he says Wolves are not naive enough to believe the current calm will remain.

But he challenged the players relegated after a miserable campaign to repair the damage.

He added: “We are not naive. We know clubs will want our best players but we are ready to do battle with anyone. In some ways, there’s nothing I enjoy more. We are in the business of winning and losing football matches, all of us.

“I’m not saying clubs won’t be knocking on our door. Of course they will.

“But we believe if you make a commitment to someone or to do something, you have to follow through on that commitment.

“At no point will Wolves ever renege on a commitment made to anyone.

“But that’s a double-edged sword isn’t it?”

Great. However am I the only one thinking that if such 'strict fiscal policies' had not been quite so strict in the first place we would still be in the EPL and this would all be a non-issue?

Billywiseman

Heard it all before JEZ- Get rid lets have some new young blood---I am sure that most of this article is invention...

Move On- If they want to go let em--I am sure you will not be wanting to pay the wages.

Looking forward to next season HOPE TO SEE SOME OF OUR YOUNGSTERS playing for their SHIRT

Go on Hols Jez--Give us a rest

Keep the Faith Crazy Dave

Bullseye

This is where Jez earns his salary. We aren't the pushovers that we once were. I know he has his knockers but he has done some good things at the club.

turn3rwolves

over the years ive heard fans slating moxley for his balance the books approach to wolves but times and situations like this may just justify moxleys way of dealing with things cous if we do keep our star players it will be down to and clearly our good financal status which we must give credit to moxey for and of course fletch jarvis etc's commitment and will to fight on there is a lot of pros an cons going round at the min but im pretty confident with the way the club are dealing with t5hings the futures bright the futures gold and black

Wolfbull

Great to here this but will it happen

Wolfinblack

What a load of twaddle again from Moxey.

Where were the strict fiscal policies when it came to the rebuild of the Stan Cullis or the hiring of Image Consultants??

There were SEVERE policies implimented on the playing staff, which inevitably cost us our position in the Premier League.

As for reneging on commitment, what about the Gold & Black masses that have tuned up week after week following promises of establishing Wolves as a Club to be reckoned with and not the laughing stock they turned us into.

As for not having to sell well we don't, but as soon as the offers come in players will be sold, I have no doubt on that one.

smithy

Moxey, Why is it I dont believe a word you say anymore?

Stuaer Corns

DXB Wolf, what do you want then, breaking the bank on every player then facing turmoil when ine season doesn't go to plan.

I am very happy with the way the club is run. It is good knowing the ups and downs you will have with Wolves are only ever gonna be football related. Nothing like Portsmouth or Bradford etc

Staales Syrup!

Well said DXB Wolf. We are relegated Jez because we lost more matches than we won not withstanding the fact that the implemented fiscal policy was partly to blame. It really means that you were not prepared to pay for Quality prem players and get rid of the jokes that got us relegated because they are not good enough for the prem!

I hope Staale has a excellent business plan which will see the rubbish shown the door and proper skilled players recruited!

Roll on July 1st.

UTW. Come on Stalle!

There you are done your work for you, now please no more repeats of the same story re-worded day after day.....print something when it actually happens!

yo-yo

Well thats the only time we BUY players,when a club is in trouble and we knock the price down.Does'nt matter if they're any good as long as they're a bargain.Same goes for the new manager,really.What's his name again?

Waggyboy

Why do the people that don't believe JM just do one. Whatever the man says he is called a liar.So just go and support another team!

NRB

All these people praising Moxey should think back and wonder who's fault it was that we went down. He is a muppet and holding the club back. Just my opinion!

wolfshead

Wonder how hard he'll "struggle" to keep the stars?

A million £ question I suppose.

moneylosingexpert.com

Get rid of Fletcher £3m throw in Stearman in a BOGOF

Sell Jarvis £2m throw in Berra in a BOGOF.

Better than getting 12m and 10m respectively,and keeping the aforementioned defenders.

Sound business sense.

What Moxeys really saying is that they are for sale at the right price dont believe a word this guy says and for those that think hes so wonderfull a reality check is needed NPower championship ring any bells.

You negative "supporters" bore me, wba could do with some more fans get yourself a tesco bag and bore them lot

Thanks :)

Albrightondek

The most interesting part of the above article is the quote from Jez Moxey saying that none of the players have indicated a desire to leave the club. Obviously this includes both Fletcher and Jarvis.

A previous E & S article by Tim Nash (30/05/12) stated that the duo were determined to leave, which I queried at the time.

Until either Fletcher or Jarvis openly express a desire to leave I would treat these articles with a large pinch of salt.

Leon

@smithy It's hard to trust a guy who says things like, "this is not a job for a novice" then you see a novice appointed for the job. This is the crazy world they live in. They say one thing and do another, you can be sure Moxey will do something other than has been stated here.

He can't help it, he treats the fans, like he treats his old dog, a ruffle of the fur, a smile, then he shuts you outside all day in the pouring rain.

BSD

BSD - Player have the power! They always have!

If they do not want to play for WOLVES they won't say in public but will get their sleazy agents to open closed doors - we've seen it all before.

If any clubs offer us £10M or more then we should sell them as I am sure Super Stale will pick up bargins cheap as chips for us.

We need to build a united team - players should commit for 1 season before leaving as they owe that to the club.

Yes but money talks so if we need to sell then sell at a very big prize - Stola will buy the players for a team that plays quality football and wninig trophies - that is what we need A WININNG CLUB.

getsomein

what star men moxey wouldnt know what one was we want moxey and his brother in law out

oxleywolf

Bottom line every player has his price old cliche, club needs to be wiser & know who will leave asap & not get caught out. players need tn be honest if they want to leave. If player is not 100% committed let him go can not carry anyone in champs tough tough league & reputations do not last long when first whistle blow. Forever Wolves.

Smithy too

Smithy. Why is it I don't believe a word you say matters at all ?

RoynReanie

He said: “We’re prepared for the fight.

Really Jez??

Well you werent quite as prepared for the Transfer Window this time last Year when you were in the E & S promising 'No More Relegation Battles'

You werent quite as prepared when you smugly told the assembled Media, that we would have a Manager in place well in time for the Newcatle Game, and that the Job was strictly 'Not for a Novice'

I would normally say that 'Talk is Cheap'

Sadly on Your Salary, and with Relegation in the Bag, Your Talk is anything but Cheap

getsomein

number4-- you sound like a happy clapper to me you know the reasons we went down.

martwolves

His name is M.O.X.E.Y! Jez Moxey. Not 'Moxley'.

I agree with the posts above, but by adhering to his rigid policies will mean Jarvis, Fletcher and others will take a 50% pay cut. Other clubs will offer them more wages and it will be this, along with the attraction of top flight football that will determine whether or not the players stay. They have only themselves to blame for relegation in the first place and I think after last seasons debacle, they at least owe it to the fans to pull their collective fingers out and see about us achieving promotion at the first time of asking.

If they don't want to do that and don't feel they are honour-bound to us, then let them leave and get someone who REALLY wants to play for us.

Good luck Stale for next season.

Up the Wolves, let's get right behind the team, whoever they may be from the off and throughout the season and we can do it!

Much love.

DXB Wolf

Not at all. But with a couple of useful defensive additions last year me might, just might, have avoided relegation and the negative financial repercussions associated with doing so.

There comes a time when you have to speculate to accumulate. Would you be happy with us securing promotion at the end of a long hard Championship campaign next year only for Jez to keep the purse stings tight in the Premier League and suffer relegation again?

Football and business generally is a gamble, but some risks are calculated and when all things are considered are worth taking. You can do this without breaking the bank/going into the red.

Ed Wolf

Was it a mis print when jez said 'fiscal policy' or does he genuinely not have a clue?! Fiscal policy is policy in relation to taxes. e.g the government uses their fiscal policy when deciding whether to raise/ lower taxes. Call me petit but when our ceo just starts throwing out big words when he doesn't understand their meaning, you know he is out of his depth. I'm hoping it was a misprint of 'financial policy' but god help us if it isn't.

Ian

Another article, another batch of moronic comments from mostly the usual suspects. I am sure that if we signed Christiano Ronaldo for £10m they would whinge that Moxey paid too much for him and that Ronaldo is overrated and not good enough for Wolves anyway. I just wonder why they call themselves supporters?

getlostjez

If we want to keep all our players, then why not bring Mick back. Next season is Solbakken,s season, should he not be the person doing the talking,Don,t try to paccify us with your dribble Jez, it,s your crap that got us into this mess...

Noisy

Sorry, but this is just a negotiating stance. Fletcher will go. Jarvis will not push for a move, but he will more than double his new salary and which of us is that loyal to our employers? O'Hara does not want to be with us and a promoted team will take him. The club will want RJ out even at a substantial loss. Milijas wil probably go, unless the new manager (incorrectly IMO) thinks he will be a good Champ player. Hennessey's injury will keep him with us or he would have gone too.

It's not financial good practice, it's the players desire to play (and earn) at the top level that will determine where they are next season.

vindaloopi

ste 18 what a happy clapping moron you are you go and support the boggies who do you think you are your not a propper supporter

Ash

Loosing fletch n jarvo wont be tht bad we will av the smash to.spend n we still got ppl like hammil kighlty doyle n seb who r proving champ playera cash in on them but only if its a big amount. Compare fletch to carrol n jarvo to downing? Look how much they went for n in my opinion we shud ask for more then they went for!

Nick_Bushbury

What moxey is really saying is "I'm sitting by my phone but no club has contacted me to enquire about our players, I,d just like to take this opportunity to remind premier league clubs we have some very good players for sale at the right price".

The Magician

If this article is repeating exactly what Greasy said then he states that he's in the business of losing football matches. I have to say he's bloody good at it!

GBull

In reality at least 6 players will probably go.Although its commendable that we are not in debt JM should accept that the boards strategy of the past couple of seasons has been woeful,thats why we are now back in the Championship.I fail to see progress on the field.

oldbury wolf

the so called fans that keep mocking players and jez just do one, you are so good at running football clubs from the pub,from a true fan

jack the cap

no6 smithy as to be a sandwell fan,he should be concerning hinself with the fact NO ONE WANTS THEIR MANAGERS JOB.

richie dingle

we simply have to play hardball with both these players and other teams, we must not allow ourselves to be ripped off, liverpool paid £20 million for downing last year, and he didnt have a goal or even an assist to his name in the league, then how much must jarvo be worth??? by the same token, andy carroll cost £35 million, then how much must fletcher be worth??? both wolves players have both easily outperformed those 2 liverpool players and that's in a far poorer team....now i'm not saying i expect us to get those kinda figures for fletch and jarvo, but these are the type of bargaining tools that moxey MUST MUST use, it'd be a kick in the teeth if we sell them for £6-8 million each. if it were me, i'd tell other managers and chairmen that i would'nt entertain any negotiations unless we received offers of £12 million or more...

Alan in Cyprus

Yes, we've got money, but we're in the "fizzy pop" league where we are now a 2nd class Club in a 2nd Class League.

Can't help thinking that for a few million squids we would still be with the elite, albeit with a little less in the Bank.

I know which League I'd prefer our Club be in.

Connor must go as well.

ColeshillWolves

I am fairly certain that Fletcher, Jarvis, O Hara and Johnson are off and that means £23-25m. The reason we went down though was lack of spend on new players and lack of wages. The Steptoes wage bill was £6m more than ours and Villa had a £57m more wage bill. Little wonder we had most of our Championship side playing then is it? Good luck Stale, who I believe will do a good job!

Booty

This is where Jez is really strong, his negotiations in the last couple of year's have left us in a strong position following the inevitable relegation last season.

What we need at the club is a director of football, someone who knows the game and someone who can sort things on the pitch to leave Jez to do what he does best: balancing the books

Paddy

Having to read all these comments about my much loved club living in Australia makes me appreciate why I moved here in the first place.

Politics, business, finance. Each and everyone of my seven boys have more passion for the club I have supported since I was old enough to kick a ball than the school of self centered entrepeneaurs claiming to be the future of a perfectly well established organization of 135 years.

Good work guys.

willenhallwolves

lets hope someone comes in for moxey they cah have him for free / we will pay them to take him

karlwolves

Same old same old. No one is dening the club isnt run on solid ground, but what we also no moxey never sticks to his guns.If a club offers 5 million for jarvo, we know he will snap there hand off, telling us its good buisness as he only cost x y and z.If the same happened with fletcher, he would say we cant keep a player who dont want to play for us anymore.There is no way this man will hold out for 10 million plus for either player.If he did have anythink about him, he would insist these two stayed and helped us get back up.

Silver Wolf

What price we keep the best, jettison the rest and arrive back in the Prem all fired up and ready to go in August 2013? It could happen, just pray it does!! :))

chris hoggard

What is he on about ,fiscal relates to Government finances,especially taxes.He means financial.Truth is our tight financial policy has got us relegated,and if we don't get promoted in the next two seasons,then the financial squeeze will come in,and then we will have to start selling players,just like a few years back we had to sell Lescott.The best financial strategy would have been to concentrate on staying in the Prem.Revenues from television in the Premier were more than four times greater than revenue from fans actually attending games.And if we do get back into the Premier ,Steve Morgan will then want to divert Sky money to pay for phase2 ground redevelopment.So unless this guy Stale is very good ,all we can expect is more of the same.A strategic rethink is needed to prioritise on building a team to get us into the Prem and to keep us there.

Mills wolf

WELL THEN MR MOXEY, PROVE THIS BY NOT USING UNDISCLOSED FEE'S !!!!!!!!!!

IF/WHEN WE DO SELL, LET US FANS KNOW WHAT WERE GETTING FOR OUR STAR MEN, OK ?

And if you mean what you say then WELL DONE, if you say this and go bk on it like you normally do, then you will not hear the last of it from me !!

Gwynne Macey mardygit

The moaners and doubters are out in force today.Something Jez must have said.Ibelieve he's got Wolves in his heart, we are not in debt unlike the top clubs in the premiere. If the Abu Dhabi shieks said we've had enough thats Man city gone, look at the debt the Glazers have put on Man U, richest club in the world untill they got their hands on it. Chelsea in pretty much the same boat as city, even Arsenal owe money millions to Arabs for their stadium. We aint got none of that, and as said somewhere before.Murdoch is in trouble with this phone tapping, he's back court sometime, some top people are saying he's unfit to run bskyb, if he pulled out, where would that leave the above mentioned clubs.

wolves

Stop being negative the only way we as a club can move forward is what is going to happen this summer players in and out new manager new coaches and new thinking for the club the old way didn't work so bring on the new if your negative don't bother coming go shopping with the bride

karlwolves

There is no way fletcher or jarvis should be sold. They are an important part of a team that could get us promoted at the first time of asking.We all know even if mozey is only offered 6 million each for these two players he will accept that. Telling us its a good piece of buissness. In jarvis case he would tell us we only paid xy or said for him, so its a good profit.In fletchers case he would say, at least we got most of our money back, and we dont want a player who doesnt want to play for us. Instead of advertising our best players he should be getting rid of the dead wood, steerman, hunt and ward.

SPOT ON !

A football recession is just arounf the corner, and we will be in the best place to take advantage when it does..

28 million for hazard, 38 for hulk, 50 million for torres.... YOU MUST BE MAD ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

Chris

Why not save us all from the normal "will he/won't he" transfer saga - just come out with the price for each (I suggest £15 million for Jarvis and £12 million for Fletcher) and just sell them to whoever meets the valuation.

Big broom, sweep the lot out fact they were not good enough to keep us i the prem their thoughts will be elsewhere new manager new players = promotion straight off ............ come on you Wolves

liverpool wolves

Ijust wish that some players play for the shirt on there back like bully did if we had a few more like him we would not have been in this mess.

the wise one

Someone stated in another post, players have the power in football these days so nine times out of ten if a player wants away he'll go. Money talks and for example if you were a plumber and a rival firm offered to double your monthly wage what would you do? players come and go we the fans are the heart of the club and allways will be. UTW

Luke Fellows

I try to be as positive as I can on all things Wolves but last season was an absolute kick in the balls and two fingered salute to all the decent Wolves fans out there.

Now some of our fans sadly are a bunch of noisy slobbering mongs who don't understand football, booing McCarthy and the lads at every possible opportunity, way to go lads.

Then the board react to these idiots and sack the best manager this club has had in my lifetime giving us more success in 5 years than I had seen in the previous 20 odd!!!

The farcical search and appointment of Connor which followed highlighted what a disastrous move we had made, our fate was certain as soon as we appointed Connor, the man is a cast iron joke and clearly couldn't inspire the players, but on top of Connor we have the cancer Roger Johnson still festering at our beloved club.

Now Jarvis and Fletcher aside, they may go if we get enough money, but why aren't the board coming out and saying they are working hard to get rid of RJ and why are they retaining Connor?

Breretonwolf

What a negative bunch post on here. Whatever any player or member of the management team say, you always manage to put a negative spin on it. What sad lives you must live. Only happy if you can knock someone else.

Sure we were disappointed that we went down. Sure Terry Connor was a poor appointment. Sure a couple of defenders may have made a difference. They bought someone we all thought was going to make a difference in the defence, and he wasn't all we thought he would be. That is with hindsight. I didn't see many complaining when we signed Johnson though.

Sometimes managers and owners make errors. They don't sit down though, and think, "What can I get wrong today." They try their best, and some things go wrong. I guess you lot never make mistakes. What is it like to be perfect? From what I see on here, the only way some of you are 100% is in always being negative.

ste

33 stupid name - I'm a moron because I'm looking forward to the new season new manager etc. and I'm sick of hearing you lot moaning on constantly bout the same old things? you're boring and if anyone isn't a proper supporter its you YAWN!!!

steve

'if we'd spent more in the summer, paid the big wages etc....', what twaddle, there are no guarantees in this game other than overstretching yourselves... If we'd have done all the above & gone down THEN clubs would've come calling for 'knockdown' prices, or we'd have been left paying big wages in the championship! I don't want to become a Portsmouth thankyou,I prefer the club run sensiby & soundly & with a good chance of getting back in the Prem without putting it back into debt! For every Man city there'll be another Glasgow Rangers...........

wulfman

Jez putting out a reminde on the only 2 players we have that prem clubs would be interested in?

SteveB

They WILL be sold, of that I have no doubt. BUT as the players and their agents get a BIG cut, it's in everyone's interests for the fees to be as inflated as possible.. And that's usually during the January transfer window.

Maybe that's what Jez is thinking, when he says we'll battle to keep them this summer!!!!

Bazwolf

We had NO star men (bar Hennessey) last season because we were absolutely abject in every department. Why battle to keep any of them? Get a decent price and wave bye bye to the lot of them. They let us down in the most deplorable way. They should all come out and grovel for letting us down so badly. Am I missing something, but why aren't more Wolves fans so angry about what happened and being so badly let down by Management and players. Why are we not calling for an open, honest and detailed debate on what went so wrong. WWFC are ducking the issue and they are treating us badly brushing the season under the carpet off the back of the Solbakken appointment. Why were we so bad? Why are Albion streets ahead of us as a team? Just why did the players capitulate? Is Johnson a bad apple or did the others round on him? Unless we draw a line under last season there will continue to be the US and THEM at Molineux. For me, I am losing trust in Morgan and falling out of love with my club. Mssrs Swain and Mr Nash please lead the debate by calling for in depth, no hold barred interviews , with no suppressed questions by the club, to Morgan, Moxey, Henry, Johnson and some senior players eg Doyle, Berra. I want my club back. We fans deserve more than this.I have written 2 long letters and 3 emails since the season ended. I am yet to receive a reply. This is what they do to a fan who has supported WW for 50 years!

yeah yeah jez,wait till the pound notes are waved in front of you.than we will see.mind you we can always replace them with 50.000 buys who are hungry.....i can see the spin now.

SeyWolf

Jez Moxey never fails to remind us of the financial stability of the club. Fair play to him but he's constantly shifting full responsibility for our relegation onto the players and not on himself. His cheap policy is largely to blame for the fact that we could barely keep our heads above water in the Premier League let alone try to compete on a level playing field with a squad of predominantly championship calibre players.

Will he take a 50 pct cut of his substantial bonus? I wouldn't hold my breath on that score for he's smugly patting himself on the back for job well done. Well done for planning for long term football league aspirations as opposed to Premier League ambitions.

Lanesfield Wolf

The reality is that Jez Moxley is now beyond his sell-by date!

He no longer has any credibility with Wolves fans, other than the Happy Clappers who helped got us to where we are now!

The sooner that Moxley leaves Wolves, the sooner we will restore our place in the Premiership.

wolves boo-boy

Mr Moxey claims all is well, "a well run club" and most seem happy with what he says, so thats fine. However the new stand is built on a loan from the bank which is a debt to wwfc 1986 and is up to £10 million before interest and payments, how is that a club well run or a business free from debt problems. The 'well run club' tactics are to make some look good to the 'LOYAL FANS'. Compare the salary of the CEO of Wolverhampton Council to the salary of the CEO of WWFC, CRAZY

Strodder

No.50 wton dont own the land the stadium is built on. Its leased from the council. Also, whats that poster of stale holding a bedside lamp (minus shade) hung from the stadium? It looks ridiculous. Soothsayers, wont do an albion and now your peggin your immediate future on a guy whos done nothin more at wolves than watch a dozen crap dvds and have his photo taken in the loos of the billy quiet.

truewolf

Stopped going down the Mol after having to listen too many short sighted fans. Sir Jack spent millions and got us nowhere. Nice bloke but there were far too many people behind the scenes making money from the club. Morgan and Moxley have gave the moaners a chance to moan by being successful. 6 years ago everyone of the so called fans would of been happy with what we have had in the last 3 seasons even the relegation. When Hoddle left we were worring about how we were going to get promoted back to the chapionship when we looked destined for relegation. I agree with not spending big because we aren't no Chelsea/Man city. SWP on 80k a week at QPR, nah keep your "quality" prem stars I'll take the gamble. You moaners keep happy clapping Robbie Keane and Dean Richards after slating them when they left! Priceless!

Clocks

Why all the anti Moxey stuff? Surely he's setting the stall out for an auction, and why not? Fletch and Jarvo are as good as gone, both served us well, and why shouldn't we profit from them?

JM is doing a top job, and the sooner some fans take the blinkers off, stop the pie jokes and get behind the CLUB, the better.

martwolves

Karlwolves - is there an echo-ho-ho-o in here?

Filthy Wolf

Business wise the fiscal policies have made the club stronger but in football terms it sank us. Hard fact on English football that Hull, Leeds and several others are only just recovering from - you can buy your way into the Premier and spend like crazy to stay in it, but it won't always save you.

smithy

24 I't doesn't Just my own personal opinion,Met so many false people in life not only Moxey, and if you take their word with a pinch of salt You don't get taken for a ride or get false hope built up.When your old as me you spot these type of people a mile off.

Prairie Wulf

Clearly Mr Moxey is confused, WW is a football club supported by paying fans plus TV rights, sponsorship and such and NOT a traditional 'for profit' company set up to benefit the shareholders with big dividends every year.

This is the trouble when accountants and such take control of any organisation, you can see how many great companies everywhere in the world have been forced to liquidate thanks to 'fiscally responsible' financial managers!

Usually, the first target of cuts is the workforce (team not bolstered with top new players) the second thing is wages & conditions of those remaining workers (players not attracted to WW due to poor wages).

As long as Mr Moxey sticks to his 'fiscally sound policies' (oh my word! He is so proud of himself isn't he? We are in the Championship League now you idiot!)then WW will never again achieve EPL greatness.

If the WW owners do not have deep enough pockets to buy top players then they have to do what all the other clubs in EPL do and borrow money to buy & keep the top players. Success in the EPL will bring in bigger sponsors & other financial & fringe benefits. Not to mention a full house every home game!

As long as Mr Moxey sticks to his policies over money & finances then WW will never get to where the fans want us to be, which is at the top level of the EPL!

There I feel better now!

Whatever happens I will always support the Wolves and I really hope that we do well next season, at least the surprising choice of manager will make everybody sit up & think, he could do very well for us.

Interesting times!

Wolves 'ay we!!!!!!!!!!

AucklandKiwiWolf

How can Moxey justify strict fiscal policies after a shameful season like the one we have just had.We were humiliated!It is not going to be easy getting back into the Premier and we need to get rid of the deadwood first and build a strong defence as qwell as other players.Quality players are going to leave.We have to be realistic about it.You reap what you sow and when the parachute money dries up i wonder where we will be. Moxey you have made a big mistake!

maltawolves

43,Booty,totally wrong in your assessment of Moxey,his negotiating skills are one of the main reasons we are back in the championship,dithering trying to get players on the cheap then stand back and watch as they are snapped up in front of our very eyes.

We have not got a third party club saying ‘we know you are in the mire – we will help you by buying so-and-so but, obviously, at a discount rate.’Who does this remind you of Jez,does Hearts spring to mind.Until you prepare yourself to paying the going rate for quality players we will continue to struggle under your fiscal(financial)policies.

It would be beneficial if the club stopped using the E&S to pump out this garbage like they did with last seasons manager debacle.

I don't believe a word JM says & will believe Fletch & Jarvis are staying once I see them on the pitch next season..............as for Berra, Stearman, Elokobi......why are they not already at Tescos under the new free training programme......afterall, they are not football players are they!!!

By they way Jez,keep patting yourself on the back, because none of us supporters will do & keep your nose OUT of team affairs and let the new gaffer do the job he's paid to do.

Moxey challeging players to 'repair the damage'!Does this mean that there is going to be little or no transfer actiivity.Perhaps Mr Moxey thinks the manager has players to 'do the job'.I can recollect an ex-manager saying that around 36 years go after we had been relegated.Look what happened to him!After last season there are players I DO NOT WANT TO SEE IN A WOLVES SHIRT AGAIN.Our situation gives us a great opportunity to start again,get rid of the deadwood and move forward.Somehow i still remain unconvinced of Moxey's intentions.

55 ste-you're not a moron!!!now Vindaloopi if you come on here often enough you'll know what he is but I don't resort to petty name calling.

Old Golds Worth More

The time for believing these so called non stories or not, will be September when the transfer window has closed, everything else is just pure speculation no matter whose mouth it comes out of!

wed wolf

vindaloopi/getsome in....you slate someone for being positive....and what have you been since we got into the greed league? realist? a propper fan? no you and your kind will always be critical, regardless who is our manager and which league we are in.

oh well, for the other 95% of wwfc supporters, look forward with hope not backwards with hate and anger and regret. utw.

#65. Good post Bazwolf. Sadly I doubt whether there is any chance that you will get your wish as The Club is now owned by an autocrat who uses Moxey as his mouthpiece. There will be no open dialogue whilst hiddden agendas prevail. Football matters are far from the top of the priority list for our management. The fact that your letters and e mails remain unanswered is typical of the lack of respect shown towards supportes (PAYING CUSTOMERS). I know several people who share your experience.

#48. Chris Hoggard,in a similar vein your projected scenario is a very real possibility with downward spiralling revenue streams making serious investment in football related matters unlikely.

Unless something is done to reverse the trends here I find it difficult to envisage a bright long term future ahead.

I just hope that I'm wromg.

Dont worry moxey happy clapping morons will keep you in a job people like ste and sue who thought in mick we trust idiots.

ste-we're idiots now! oh well I don't care what people like Vindaloopi,getsomein think I'm with the happy clappers don't ya know!

65 - Bazwolf - good post and probably sums up the frustrations of 99% of true Wolves supporters

I don't know how Moxey can talk about "commitments" given his failings in the past. The debacle around replacing McCarthy was testament in itself. I don't like the guy as he has treated supporters with utter contempt over the years, but even I have to grudgingly admit he is a good accountant. The reason we've failed at the highest level is Moxey knows nothing about football. We need a Director of Football at Wolves so that Moxey has nothing to do with anything related to on the pitch. And Morgan needs to stop him getting big, fat (sorry for the pun) bonuses from selling on players.

Morgan has to get the Fat Controller away from the footballing decisions and let him balance the books. To be honest, Moxey's advice to the Board to appoint TC as manager alone should have seen him sacked last season.

We do need good bean counters at the Wolves but we need someone between Stale and the Board that understands football and can advise accordingly. UTW

Percy the Wolf

Can't be bothered to make any comments again on shall we or shall we not/can we or can we not sell, but No.29 - you made me laugh(Ed Wolf) with the possibly deliberate 'petit' slip up. I knew exactly what you meant, but it then just added comedy value to your comment.

WE ARE WOLVES!!!

ste

For the record I thought we should of got rid of Mick earlier and if I am a happy clapper in your tiny little minds so be it I would rather look forward to the new season with a new manager and supporting my club :) Sue I just feel sorry for them and their mistake outlook on life lol

Loan out anyone who wants to play in the Premier league next year.

They can rejoin Wolves when we go back up.

If such ‘strict fiscal policies’ had not been quite so strict we could have followed Leeds and Sheffield Wednesday down the pan or be going down now with debts of £20m - £30m like Blackburn or £90m like Bolton. Spending big money doesn’t guarantee success. Look what’s happening at Rangers.

Kenny Hibbitts Left Foot

Moxey is good at looking after the books, which has stood us in good stead, although i do think we should have spent more last summer and that has cost us!!!! But keep him away from football matters coz he doesn't have a clue and will always go for the cheap options , acountants are like that, they dont like risks!!! Both Mr Morgan and Mr Moxey need to back our new manager this summer (financially) to give him a chance of building his own team and getting us back up!.....will it take time???? answers please.

Come on me Babbies.

I know he has his knockers but he has done some good things at the club.

Crikey, has he had implants? I never realised.

JACK the crap, And no doubt more educated than you with your wrong, daft Mystic Meg prediction posts.Don't give up your day job if your clever enough to have one.

ThaiWolf

Sorry guys, I haven't read all the previous replies.

BUT

If the likes of Jarvis, Fletcher et al generate the interest of top clubs because of the superb way they played for our team, should Wolves stand in their way? Should Wolves curb their individual progress?

We should all be proud of their performances.

We should all be proud of the way they have progressed.

We should be sad they are leaving us, but, we should be glad they are moving to clubs where they can continue their progress.

Robbie Keane is a great example. He left Wolves and his career improved, yet, whenever he played against Wolves he gave 100% for his team, but if ever he scored a goal he didn't celebrate. Because he had RESPECT for the club who gave him a break!

If we lose Jarvo And Fletch to bigger clubs keep on supporting them, they deserve it. Be sad they have gone, then look to their replacements and encourage them.

Gad, did I write that? Old age has turned me into a filosifer? philosifer? philosopher. (I cheated, I looked the word up in my dikshonarry!)

exWolfCub

The main problem that has caused distress for the fans was the inability of the ex manager(MM) to identify a player which was an assest to the club, thus, he tried a Major Buckley tactic. Sign as many players as you can and hope one of them turns out O.K But MM is no Major Buckley.

He also failed to blood and develop the players from Academy He failed to develop the skills of Milijas. this player could either have sat in front of the defence or just behind the attackers. You do not have to have every player having to tackle the opposition.

MM was the master of playing people out of position. only Hennessey new his position.

Yes. Moxey held on to the purse strings but at some point, we all have to have some debt, as it is no money spent, less money coming in next season. Also, I think that both Mr Morgan and Mr Moxey should apologise to Mr Connor, for the position they put him. If he was not good enough before, how could he be good enough when all was lost.

As for the new manager/ coach he will have a job on his hands. I am disappointed that we did not buy British but I am sure we all wish him well. Also, will The Chairman and owner buy a high quality alarm clock for Mr Moxey so as he will be the early bird that catches any worm suitable for the Wolves

Having been supported the club since 1942, and had the privaledge of having three seasons down in the ranks,I am like every other Old Gold and Black , let us hope our Top Cats remember that they have only bought the club and administer the club and it is the supporters that own it. Without them , there is no club. Also, I hope our E&S reporters remember that before they comment on supporters remarks over last season.We watch and pay.

derrywolf

dont know what you are all talking about . let stale decide who goes and who stays . after watching the box-set of the 2011/2012 wolves season I dont think alot of players will be staying . IN STALE WE TRUST

Dingle Dangle

Now we are in the championship, the one's with ambition will want to leave!!

Solentwolves

@ 99 - ThaiWolf. Generously spoken. I know a number of Gillingham fans who have followed Jarvis's career since he moved from the Gills to us and they have done so without acrimony (how could they have done otherwise?), enjoying his success and indeed feeling a part of it.

Welshwolf

Players who are good enough to turn out in Premier League aren't going to waste any of their best years in the Championship. It's as simple as that. If Wolves try to hold them against their wills, the players just won't perform.

jack the cap

no98 sandwell fan Dippy Smithy, after your last comment,I REST MY CASE.

stan 77

keep fletcher and jarvis,and sell the rest of

the team

The Price is Right

The only right price is, at least, £25 million for anyone we need to keep.

That is we do not sell anyone of the premiership stars. They are too valuable to lose.

29 Ed Wolf - use a proper dictionary instead of the Wiki lazy way - Collins dictionary includes the definition "relating to financial matters". I'm sure that other English dictionaries say the same so please use one instead of US websites.

Compton Stoke

It's like this, wolves just got relegated because your players aren't very good.

They are. on average, mediocre championship players who overachieved for 3 years with a good motivator who spun them out as long as he could.

There are no stars. Some are decent championship players, and at the right money Henry and Jarvis can sit on the bench for us but get real. You need 10 new players because you have a team that will do well to make the top 6

You trust in the Norwegian alien if you like son. We know Dan's the Man and so do you. Now he can pick a player.

Grace

Check out Jarvis's twitter account, only mentions being a premiership footballer, nothing about Wolves, this has changed since the end of the season.

Draw your own conclusions!!!

Regardless of what Moxey says, looks like we won't see Jarvis in a Wolves shirt again.
