Wolves have asked Brighton permission to speak to Gus Poyet

[LamieRobertson]

To be honest given their predicament there is only one man for the job. Russell Salde.

Hmmm...something not quite right

 

[Silent Bob]

.......and listening to 5 Live, wolves have denied it; they are going for the Reading manager.

Pat Murphy doesn't seem to know very much about things.

 

[HastingsSeagull]

Top 6 is not quite right in my view as think an Everton or Villa is more likely. Only half the Prem clubs he'd consider a good bet though I'd think currently.

Oi leave old Pat alone he's brill

 

[Seagull over Canaryland]

Pat Murphy doesn't seem to know very much about things.

I liked the hilarious reporting on 5 Live last week when they crossed over to Pat Murphy following Wolves defeat, introducing him as having his finger on the pulse of all things footie in the West Midlands - Murphy then said although McCarthy was under pressure he believed he would still be in post at the end of the season. A few minutes later the BBC reported McCarthy was sacked. Brilliant.

Murphy is incisive but do find him a bit smarmy with both his footie and cricket reporting. For him the sun always shines out of Warwickshire cricket when they play Sussex.

 

[Muzzy]

As usual, there is doom, then there is gloom and we have "Sir" Tony Bloom! He will ensure our ongoing success for the foreseeable, whatever Gus does in the near or distant future..

Chill out peeps...Far too much pessimism on here today me thinks!

 

[Medwayseagull]

Maybe then we can get a manger who has a plan A, B and C. Don't get me wrong i love Gus, but I am becoming disillusioned with him.

You do talk the most contradictory drivel - I love him but I am disillusioned with him.

 

[moggy]

If poyet was to leave, (and I personally don't think he will, certainly not to wolves anyway) my guess is, he'd sit it out and wait for Harry to get offered the England job in the hope he may get offered the spurs job.

Gus said he would only leave Brighton for a 'special club'. Sorry Wolves that isn't you!

(No doubt as im tucking into my cornflakes tomorrow morning news will break out that Gus is the new Wolves boss)

 

[WhingForPresident]

If they appoint McDermott there is no way they are staying up.

 

[HawkTheSeagull]

Cant see McDermott leaving Reading with their new rich owners, they arent doing too badly there - but then stranger things have happened.

 

[Ninja Elephant]

Difficult to argue with that, he would be crazy to leave Reading considering the work he has done and continues to do there. But if Wolves genuinely want Poyet, McDermott or Clark, what on earth are they thinking? All of them have potential to be very good managers, I'm not disputing that. But if you're genuinely intending on staying in the Premier League, surely you must appoint someone with the experience to do it? Steve Bruce will never be a popular manager, I understand that, but the job he did at Wigan was fantastic in my opinion. He got Birmingham relegated, and I think that experience is important aswell because he will have (hopefully!) seen in that Birmingham team what caused the relegation, or what was lacking to survive. For me, he proved at Wigan that he learnt the lessons of Birmingham and was a better manager for it. He's the only manager I would want until the end of the season, if I were a Wolves fan.

I agree with your sentiments, about experience, but why they are dismissing curbishley is beyond me, took over west ham who were certain for relegation and performed a miracle by winning 7 of last 9 games to survive, including Tevez Man U game, not so long ago he was interviewed for England manager. they are barmy to even consider the likes of Poyet, clark and McDermott over Curbs and Bruce.

the clowns running Wolves are making a pigs ear of this situation

I only didn't mention Curbishley because he's been ruled out, allegedly. But it's exactly what I mean, they should be preferring experienced managers rather than people looking to make a name for themselves. I think they have their priorities wrong, and if I were a Wolves fan, I wouldn't want an up and coming manager. For want of a better example, I would prefer Russell Slade to Jim Gannon. We all know who was more popular at the time, but who got the job done?

 

[peterward]

well hope this is right..... distanced themselves from Gus and going for McD, poor old Reading

I wonder if McDermott is worried about his position once the Russki billionaire takes over. He wouldn't be the first manager to find himself suddenly unemployed once a new owner comes in.

 

[perseus]

I udderstand from ....?

Lee Clarke: who to f*** ! Never even 'erd of him?
