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.

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.

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?

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

We have struggled against any team we are "expected" to beat since the start of our most recent premier league era - I might be wrong but didn't Huddersfield do the double over us in the year they were relegated? We thrive more against teams who are expansive and come at us.

This is why we have a particularly good record against the top teams in the league who assume they will roll us over. Personally, I think winning a game "ugly" in this manner could herald a first small step towards establishing ourselves as an even more competent outfit than we have been thus far. Keep it up GON and the boys.

Highlights were on the BBC Sport website (though only the goals)

In fairness, Mark Chapman mentioned it as a potential "key fixture" on the Monday Night Club on Radio 5 Live.though the rest of the guests were silent or dismissive.

I'd love a cup, especially the FA. The Sherpa Van in '88 was the only one I've ever witnessed for myself. I was too young to remember the league cup in '74 and my mother wouldn't let an 8 year old me go with my brother to the final in '80 (though I did get a copy of the Beacon Radio cassette recording to make up for it and I can still recite Pat Foley's commentary leading up to the goal to this day). However, I also fear that some of our first team must be playing on empty now, and that makes them vulnerable to injury. Safe as we may feel, we are still only a very poor run, combined with improvements for other teams away from trouble. I'm therefore in the camp of being cautious for now, but throwing everything at it if fate sees fit to get us through the first few rounds.
