Not my choice, but I don’t think Cooper is as stupid as it sounds. Suspect he’s got the potential to be a really good manager. I reckon the owners at Forest have more money than sense and have gone signing crazy. We know he wanted MGW, but I wonder how many of the others Cooper actually wanted?
The main thing for me though, is that anyone “unexpected” would be a refreshing appointment, because my fear is that Wolves’ managerial shortlist will bevarrived at through the following, detailed criteria:
1) Is his agent Mendes or is he at least in Mendes sphere of influence?
2) Does he have experience in one of the Iberian leagues?
Sorry, but I’m just becoming deeply disillusioned by the way we are being run. Fosun are not necessarily the issue, I believe they want us to succeed. But I think they are choosing the wrong executives and seeking too limited a counsel when it comes to taking our club forward. They need to widen their horizons if want the “project” to succeed.
That said, I desperately hope I’m wrong, and of course will support whomever we appoint.

I just wish we could look further away from Portugal. We keep going there and things are not working. We need a better mix and to diversify.
Wonder what Alan Curbishley is doing ;)

Look how many players we have from Portugal, that is the reason we are looking for a manager who has experience in Portugal. While I am not complaining about the quality of the players we have, I wonder that if you upset one you upset all of them, it might explain why Moutinho gets picked for every game and why we got rid of Coady, just a thought.

On past record it will be Lopetegui on Mendes books and being sacked by Sevilla today

Cooper would be a great choice IF we were staring down the barrel of relegation with 8 to play, looking at a summer firesale and an immediate return blooding the u21's in the process. Thankfully whoever comes in has 30 or so to turn it around, we're not detached from the main body and has a transfer window to act in.

Hi all, been reading posts for a while and thought I'd join. Currently living in Rochdale, not had a chance to get to the molineux for a fair few years, but still a true devotee. First game was v spurs at home in 1979 which I'm pretty sure we won 3-2. Though I didn't see a thing on the South bank aged 8, and as my older brother was "removed" for using "foul and abusive language" leaving me all alone, my mind was on other things! Funnily enough though, the number of (to my young mind) huge blokes around me who ruffled my hair and said "yow'll be alright cock we'll get yow 'ome" put me at ease and made me realise I was truly safe and amongst my own! As it happened my bro convinced the constabulary to let him back in for my sake and all ended well! COYW

Welcome onboard Mattybacc, for me it was 1966 inspired by Englands World Cup win at the age of 13 years. I can't remember who we played but we won and I was hooked, transferring to the North Bank a couple of years later. Back then the blokes around us wouldn't let anyone stand in front blocking our view. The North Bank was a lot of fun, warm and dry when packed but in reality possibly another Bradford fire waiting to happen due to it's wooden floor.

I remember that wooden floor well, surprised that it didn't fall through when the 'stamping' started. My favourite place to be.

Welcome Matty. My first game at age of 7 was a 3-1 loss to Arsenal in the 68/69 season.
ps Do you know Owd Betts or the Egerton Arms- my wife comes from near Burnley and sometimes, before we got married and moved south, when I was visiting in the early 80s we would drive up that way for a drink or (if flush) a meal at the Egerton Arms.

I'd be worried about Potter. lovely football, but a complete lack of goals.we've had that for a while haven't we?

My brain is too addled to remember if I’m honest, but wasn’t Doherty sold at a time when Nuno was toying with moving to a back 4 to push us on? Either way, if JLo is considering him, perhaps he’s thinking of an alternative formation to the 4-4-2 in certain matches/situations.
23 Jun 2023 19:40:16
Yes, thank you for everything Ruben, especially the memories! I believe that Al Hilal are also after Bernardo Silva. Is this basically all a Newcastle ruse to avoid paying over inflated fees and get around FFP?
01 Sep 2022 11:47:42
He’s going to Villa

Ramsay? Can't see it. Doesn't fit our profile at all. Just another example of lazy journalism surely.

I think the problem is that GON is ultimately likeable, and no one really doubts that he is working hard and doing his best.even that's not good enough. It's difficult to get really angry with him when we all know in our hearts that the the real problem runs far deeper.

I agree our defence is still very poor and I don't think for one minute that we are now going to suddenly become top ten material - we already know survival is this season's aim. That said, a couple of draws and now a win, may have taken some pressure off the players. Let's not forget, while the difficult early fixtures should not be seen as an excuse, the longer you keep losing the the more importance gets heaped on the matches you theoretically stand a chance in, meaning they become exponentially more difficult in themselves. Perhaps now, with a minor confidence boost, our better players may start play to their potential a little more.
I get the clamouring for a new manager, but who is honestly going to want to take over at this stage? I think the likes of Moyes and Potter would only consider it if they saw that we had the raw materials to be considerably better than we are now, as this would allow them to step in and enhance their own reputations by dramatically turning things around. I reckon we are currently some way off that, particularly given the defensive options at our disposal.

Guys, I'm not as tactically or financially aware as many of you are, so I tend to just enjoy reading and learning from your discussions - a genuine thankyou for that. One thing I can say with confidence however, is that with our current defensive options we are well and truly stuffed!

Agreed, loyalty in football is a rare thing and we have been spoilt by the behaviour of a few class acts who have left in recent years. Time to move on without wasting any energy on Pedro.
09 Aug 2024 21:44:18
Despite his undoubted class, I wonder if any other club than Chelsea with their trademark scattergun approach to spending would have risked such a high cash fee on Pedro, given that injury record. You've got to see it from the financial side. Sure, Neto could have stayed fit and led us to a European place. Or, he could equally have been injured in the first game and out for the season with another serious blemish on his future transfer value. Reluctantly, as long as the money is available quickly and spent wisely in the necessary areas, I'm with the club on this one. I wish him well for the future, and thank him for his excellentservice.
