No, I prefer my link from the bbc which says that McDermott was interviewed yesterday.

To be honest I now reckon Poyet is going. If he wanted to talk to Wolves, then his 'special opportunity' that he'd leave for may not be that special at all. He's obviously impatient to get the the Premier League.
Looks like the Reading guy is now first choice for Wolves, but if the Russian in charge wants to keep him he will.
So, sadly, I think it'll be bye bye to Gus, and he'll be leaving with his job here half done.
Still, we can look at Howe, Di Canio, Hill, Robinson, Curbishley and many others - I'm sure the dream of the Premier League for us is still on the horizon.

How so ? He's always said he wants to manage in the prem as soon as poss. Never really shown any loyalty towards us. I don't think he will have lied if he leaves.

Where does it say that Poyet wanted to talk to Wolves? I've read that they wanted to talk to him but nothing to confirm his interest in that job anywhere.

surely McDermott is even less likely than Gus given reading's position in the Championship and their billionaire owners.
frankly they would both be completly bonkers to leave for Wolves

He'd be showing really poor judgement to go to a sinking ship like Wolves while the Albion are on the up. And he'll never find a more supportive chairman than Tony Bloom if he manages til he's ninety.

I'm seriously worried about this, hopefully they will go for Mcdermott instead of Gus. Why would he want to go there in the first place, espically to a team who could get relegated this season. Step backwards I say....
Time out of Season
Gus has got his project at the Albion. That's the new buzz word. Wolves need a Project Manager in the long term, but right now they need a coach like Steve Bruce to have a sporting chance of staying in the top flight. That is their dilemma.
If they had waited to the close season, they might have had a chance of getting Gus Poyet. May still do this.
If I were Wolves I would try for Rafa Benitez: if they are big enough ? They might NOT be?
Steven Coppell has the financial degree to sus out the Wolves prospects.
Lee Clarke it is then
No chance. Jack Bruce might turn it down
Wolves were only 50/50 to go down before they sacked McCarthy, now it is nearer 90%.

The 'no comments' from Tony and Gus tell a significant story. We'd only have given Wolves permission to speak to Poyet if we'd sounded out his views first.
Gus will back his own ability to keep Wolves up.
He's gone, unless the man from Reading beats him to it.

Where or when has Gus said he wants to go? Or do you know something we don't......

Have you been checked for ulcerative colitis?
Wolves are by no means a step backwards, anyone who thinks that is a wally. But they don't, currently anyway, represent a big enough step forward in his career. He will struggle to get the control over any new club like he has here. Rebuilding a club from it's foundations is something Gus seems to be relishing and I don't think he'd give that up for a club in a position such as Wolves

No - I don't know anything more. But it seems to me, after publically stating that the Leeds job was at the wrong time for him, Radio Poyet has been remarkably silent.
I think it's the 'no comment' that's the worrying part. When he has been linked with jobs before, he has quickly trotted out the mantra about wanting "something special" in order to think about leaving.
Plus his absence from press conference this morning. Hope I'm very wrong, but I think he's interested in this one.

Even though a bbc report from just an hour ago says Wolves have dismissed reports linking Poyet with the job.
My take on it all, is that Wolves asked Bloom, he told them that Poyet was on a 5 year contract and the compensation was over £2 million and that was the end of that.

Shouldnt read into him not being at the press conference this morning too much, maybe he thinks that all the journalists will ask is "Are you going to Wolves ?" and he doesnt want to answer them, silence is golden and id rather he kept silent then publicly declared he wanted it.

BBC Sport - Wolves turn to Reading manager Brian McDermott for Molineux job
Says on there that Wolves have "dismissed reports linking Brighton manager Gus Poyet to the job."
