Betting market now one for next wolves manager, so writing must be on the wall. It is very rare for clubs outside the prem to have markets open until manager has been sacked.

Owen coyle is 3 te 1 favourite on stan james

Just had a look and it is true. Coyle, Ferguson and O'Driscoll are favourites with the bookies. What a bloody mess we are in.

Just seen it owen coyle 3 to 1
writings on the wall for stale

Theres light at the end of the tunnel at last!

That's not a light at the end of the tunnel mate, that's the train to league 1 if we go for them lot.

we have to ride this storm, until the remnants of mm have gone from this club, never to be mentioned again.stick with solbaken, it is unfair to judge the man with this shower of s*** he has inherited from mm.i have seen better players in the sunday league, i played in it.

What a load of rubbish this so cwlled team won this league. Except fletcher and sick note kightly the same players that stayed in the prem for 3 years this league ain't that good I'm getting abit sick of some fans saying the team ain't good enough its better than most other teams in this league. We just need managing properly by a bloke who ain't affraid to upset players and tell them its not good enough do you think alex ferguson gives a toss about the players when they under perform

I kinda agree with the above post - I think the problem lies in the fact that the team that got us up was young and hungry. That very same team we are playing now is fat and lazy!! Comfortable in their own over inflated egos.

I would like to see kh moved on or dropped to the bench along with KF, cb, sw, kd and eb and replace them with some of our youngsters we have out on loan. That would person their bubble and bring them swiftly down to earth.

It seems to me if stale wants to succeed he needs to show his authority. You refer to Alex ferguson - just look how quickly he shipped out ince when he started calling himself the govonor.

The one thing ferguson does better than any other manager in my opinion is integrate youngsters into his sides so they constantly evolve. This would not happen unless everyone playing knew that its fergies way or the highway!

PLAYERS BACK BOSS:
Squad taking responsibility................
Wolves' players today swung their weight behind boss Ståle Solbakken and said they have to take their share of responsibility for the last three performances.
Three successive defeats have dented the optimism of a previous run of three victories in four games, and left Wolves 18th in the Championship table, well below where the manager and players want to be.
Speaking on behalf of the squad, skipper Karl Henry and defender Roger Johnson have vowed to put things right on the pitch during the second half of the season.
"We know the last three performances have not been good enough and as players we have to take responsibility for that, " said Henry.
"We had been on a decent run of results and have let ourselves and the fans down with the displays over Christmas.
"But that is certainly not down to a lack of effort.
"We have a squad of players who are giving their all and are fully behind the manager and what he is trying to do here to take the club in a new direction.
"Maybe the hangover after relegation has affected us more than we thought.
"Bolton and Blackburn are both around us in the table and I know that the last time Wolves were relegated they really struggled in the following season.
"But it is no good making excuses - while the Championship has changed a lot since we last played in it we have to do better and certainly a lot better than we have been playing at the moment.
"Everyone is still in it together from managers to backroom staff and players and that is the only way we will get back to form."
League ever-present Johnson also admitted it is up to the players to improve over the second half of the season if Wolves are to climb the table.
"We are all behind the gaffer and know what he wants from us, " said Johnson.
"But he can only do so much – when we cross the white line we have to perform."

{Ed011's Note - Had to cut this post down a little bit because it was simply too long and one big quote, the whole thing can be found on the atrociously designed Wolves website.

Yeh, yeh, yeh, blah, blah, blah - back it up with actions boys!

'We're all behind the gaffer .....' God help us then if this is how they play when they're all singing from the same hymn sheet! (Hope they never lose faith in him then.)

You know what has been bugging me. That Silvakken has said he would make changes yet has kept practically the same back 4 all season yet I the last 3 games we have conceded 8 goals with 5 of them at home against teams who are below us in leaguer position yet not ch ages at the back. You got Batth and Margreiter sitting in that bench, what must they be thinking.big Solvakken is serious about changing then his got to change is at the back

Ahh damn. Auto correct on my phone changed Solbakkens name. Sorry about that

02 Jan 2013 16:55:09
Finally! The players have come out and said they are right behind the boss... A bit like the fans then. Being shafted!!!

Wudnt like them behind me.backstabers.

To the person explaining our situation to paul tamworth good on ya! Maybe wen uv finished do us a favour an explain the way to sandwell to him lmao! Do us a favour bloody gloom an doom every time yet no reasonable solutions, all them managers no good or done much recently, I must say though in ur defence paul couple may motivate the sxxx players to well above there level but thay wud still need replacing, itd not stelle yes hes struggling but the group is poor
Siewolf

How is the group poor when they were promoted under a good british manager 3 years ago. a solution is a way to remove the problem, solcrappen is the problem so sacking him is the solution

Bud wat were doing three years ago and are u as good nw? Any sports person will tell u three years is a long time look at top goal scorers from the season ur talking of an where there r nw? My point is the players have become poor an the league changed from grafters an bullies to youngsters an technicians
Siewolf

One good season in which they won the the Championship doesnt make them any good!

What have these players done since??

3 and a half seasons of MISERY!

GET RID!

Oh sorry its not that easy when every club in the league know theyre rubbish too!

EBW

They can get us to the playoffs quite simply, if we had kept mick i can garuntee you we wouldnt have sold all of kites, jarvo n fletch we would have given them more reason to stay they went becaue this person wont play with wingers and they had no confidence in him getting them back up to good money. also if mick was here we would be challenging for atleast a good playoff place. we would be scoring more goals as he knows how to work the championship and the players he had and we would be conceding less as mick kept us tigh for 2 seasons and we were reputable for being hard to breakdown, which is how we beat teams like man u, chelsea, liverpool, man city. do you think we would now with this muppet its not got anything to do with the players

For the last time thick mick is part of the reason we're in this mess.

and this

However, the conflict between Solbakken and Finke is said to have left a divide in the player group, with one set of players being in favor of Finke's concept and the other being in favor of Solbakken's concept. The most vocal member of the latter group was Lukas Podolski, who even during stormy times came out and supported the man who had taken away his captains armband at the beginning of the season. The discipline of this particular group of players has at times been rather poor, and former physical coach Bjrøn Vidar Stenersen told Norwegian newspaper iTromsø:

"It's not just the results and the good performances that have been lacking, but we also had several problems within this group of players after nine in the evening."

Two of these scandals were made public by the German press, namely Miso Brecko crashing his car while driving drunk and Slawomir Peszko being arrested for disorderly behavior while being drunk.

sond familiar?

I really dont know what to say i have been a proud wolves supporter all my life 30 years i have took my colours all over the uk and abroad i am proud to come from wolves but the crap they have bought in and whats happening in the boardroom makes us the laughing stock if something aint sorted soon we will be going down again......weve gone STALE ffs sack him now.

We need to make the board feel the same pressure as when mick was sacked, protesting outside the ground is what got him the sack so we need to do that next home game to make sure we dont miss out in the jan window

02 Jan 2013 12:05:31
Stale needs to grow some balls now drop Henry , Foley , Berra , Doyle and Ward those 5 are obviously the ring leaders in trying to get stale sacked. Play the youngsters if needed show the 5 persons you wont take their crap it may be the kick up the backside the team needs.

Agree mate iv'e been saying that for months. P.J.

These lot all sit at the same table in the canteen at Compton and Henry seems to be their ring-leader! I want them out too!! EBW

I for one agree with you, they are the players who are responsible for the position we are in.they are attempting to get rid of solbaken.i say keep solbaken and get rid of the mm losers who believe its tactics not there performances behind the position we are in.

2 transfer windows Stale should be given otherwise we will never know what could of been. Feel sorry for the guy big time working with Laurel and Hardy and having his hands tied and the most average uninspired players in the FL.

02 Jan 2013 15:46:17
Drop them and put who on in their place? ...we don't have the quality of depth to afford to do that! They may be rubbish but they're the best we've got at the moment!

The fact that we ship goals is due to the shape and zonal marking, which are his fault. he is playing 4 strikers at a time and the 2 wide ones are not told to protect the back four at all, thats why every person on here thinks its only because wardy and foley are no good, they are fine for this level in fact good players, they recieve no protection and so get targeted, we are predictable and easy to play against, we have no width or defensive shape. if you look at any other team they get 2 banks of 4 as soon as they lose the ball, we dont which is why if anyone gets past davis and henry their attacks have the danger, openness and speed as a counter attack. hes the problem we cant play this way with messi in this league and progress, it doesnt work. get rid now

A very intelligent post simple but very understandable

i really hope we get knocked out by luton at the weekend as otherwise everything will just be swept under the carpet and moxey will say that we are back to winning ways. We have to sack him now cos if we wait for the luton game we will probably win and the pressure will be off until 3 weeks down the line when we have our next crap run of form

For those who have disagreed with my post, why?? what do you seriously think is going to happen? {Ed011's Note - ...The people who want him to stay might disagree... and the people who would like a cup run (not that it would last long)...

Previous post
"The 2m's have not got a clue about running a football club they are making us a laughing stock and it is hurting me. It was obvious to a blind man that they did not spend enough money in the summer. The championship has moved on since we were last in it. I said and posted after the Leeds game that they were the problem and it will not go away until they have gone."

Response to the previous post
My friend I'm sorry to say you will be waiting a very, very long time to see the back of these two. The phase dug in like a tick springs to mind. Also if they go now the stadium will look rubbish, a quarter finished. But guess we need a 40k capacity in Div 1 lol.

02 Jan 2013 09:56:34
Enough is now enough! We have a board who do not care a clue less manager who is the worst I have seen in 53 years going to the mol! Only we the fans can force change before it is too late! Let's make our feelings defending till this sham les is sorted!! Newportwolf
