Wolves have asked Brighton permission to speak to Gus Poyet

[looney]

He wont go to a tinpot club like Wolves. They look odds on to go down and statisticaly a new manager does not turn it around on average. We are 2 points of the play-offs, unbeaten in the league this year with some quality loan signings.

It definitely would be a step down.

 

[perseus]

it would have to be Curbishley, played for the club, did fantastic for charlton and did FANTASTIC FOR WEST HAM, leaving them in the top ten and winning his case for constructive dismissal because that Icelandic egghead berk was selling players from under him without his say so.

Been out the game but Curbishley has been a massive success everywhere he has been.

I think Wolves think they are going down and Curbishley did not fancy the job.

Looking at their difficult fixtures, I would imagine that they might get another 9 points maximum whoever was their Manager. Is 30 points enough for safety? I am sure Gus can analyse the situation.

Who is AZ

Word (on Twitter where this rumour started) is that Reading's Brian McDermott is talking to Wolves tonight

edit - beat me to it by a few seconds Wardy - at least I beat the OP by a day or so

Even if gus went and Wolves went down, he would have a massive budget to get back up again. A lot more than he would get here. If he is offered the job he will take it

So good clubs are falling over themselves to get to him, hardly. Don't agree - I know West ham fans, who feel he blew the Icelandic money on players like Lundberg, Boa Morte, Callum Davenport with the money he had what did he win? He left when they started to sell players...

Best price 5/1 now it means that a lot of fast money is being put down

Pennies.

Can't see it. Reading have new investment and are looking good for Promotion. Would be a big step backwards

That just isn't true, Curbishley kept them up then took them towards top ten, when he resigned, because his team was being flogged from under him, Since when have West Ham been in a better position than when curbishly left??..... they haven't.

I read a statement from the West ham supporters club wishing him well for the Wolves interview and siging his praises. You may not like him, and he has been out the game a while, his record speaks for itself

Not that I don't like him, just want better. Guess we beg to differ. Of course if Gus does ever leave, I would be happy for Curbs to take us up!

I wish people would stop saying this. Di Canio is a horrible piece of work and not someone we should want associated with our football club.

this, would hate him to be in charge of the Albion.

Latest:

Now favourite at 2/1

 

[8ace]

Can you put a bet on him NOT going to Wolves this season?

Or in fact ever?

I'd be well up for that.

AND I bet the manager's office is TINY.

You can lay him on betfair at 6/1. (So your bet is 1/6)

That depends on wolves staying up and us not going up. Wolves are a joke club, I can remember them tumbling down the league with 3 consecutive relegations They are not even biggest in the midlands, behind villa, birmigham and west brom in acheivement.

It would be a gamble and a bad one.

IF and im only saying IF Gus was to leave now, I would waste no time at all and get either Curbishley(ex player) or Billy Davies in asap...Davies done a great job at Preston, got Derby to the prem and Forest(look at them now) to the play offs last two seasons, cant believe he is out of work tbh.

Wolves though have money and are as big or bigger than us, and I suspect Gus's constant press whoring to talk himself up into a top job may require another stepping stone to get there. Keep Wolves up, get them mid table, then he can get the job he so publicly covets with a top ten team.

Wolves go down with parachute payment and he will have just as much chance if not more with them than us, hell he might even recall Vokes!!

this, both cracking and realistic candidates

should be worth a pay rise off RFC though

 

[itszamora]

One thing I would say to try and reassure myself and others is that we were favourites with some bookies to sign Michael Owen in the summer.
