ed have you got any info on who now could still be on the shortlist for the wolves job? {Ed001's Note - the only person I know of on there is Curbishley, he is the only definite name I have been given. Everyone else mentioned in the papers seems to be putting themselves forward.}

Betting suspended everywhere what is going on anyone please ? Help I am going mad

Come on curbs, come and save our club!!

Lee Clarke on a Two and a bit year deal done will be announced tonight

Curbs was in the studio for Al Jazeera Sport this evening covering the Man Utd v Ajax match. I don't think it's gonna be him unfortunately.

I Presume that is because he is the only one left

Betting not suspended ive just put 50p each way on Red Rum....he never let anyone down!

Its gonna be Dave Jones until end of season. Fact

Wot kind of job is curbishley waiting for,he is a joke

Joe kinnear for me

Its friday any news please

Terry Clipboard appointed manager till end of season. That means no change at all and actually puts us in a worst position than when muppet mick was in charge, a new manager would have put a bit of freshness back into the team. Oh well we all love our team and we will have to give them our full support till the end of the season, we can still survive. wolvesinsider you are full of it

Its has bad has the batties what a joke

Glenn Roeder heading back into managment by taking job at Wolves, just what the doctor ordered

23 Feb 2012 20:05:00
Hi ed is it true what I have been reading on the net that we are after glen roeder as director of football? {Ed001's Note - I honestly don't have a clue, I don't know who is wanted for that position.}

He is into 12's for the managers job. Lets hope he turns it down.

Roeder is srill not 100% over his illness, the stress would be far to much for him - he will definately not be manager or director of football.

Wolves have offered the job to Walter Smith.
He had been offered it earlier in the week too. his decision is expected today.

I thnik your a couple of hours late mate, he turned it down, official!

He rejected it five hours ago.

He already rejected the job as he felt 13 games wasn't enough time for him to leave his mark.

Looks like everyone will reject.

Ed , please what is going on at wolves what is the truth about whats going on and are the press trying to make the club look stupid {Ed001's Note - the truth is that Morgan and Moxey sat down and discussed their options. They have looked through the applications received and made a shortlist, which is now in the hands of Moxey to get one of those in. I don't know who is on the shortlist, apart from Curbishley, so I can't say any more on that. But I do know Morgan is trying to do things in the right way, with nothing being said until the deal is done. Unless it comes from the club itself, what you read in the paper is pure speculation, the club are keeping it quiet and doing things professionally.}

So why are all of these managers turning us down and openly saying they have been approached?
I agree wolves policy is and always has been no news til decision made and contracts signed BUT surely a statement to deny comments by others would put everyones mind at rest - and it would end tthe so called speculation if thats what it was! {Ed001's Note - what manager has come out and said they have been approached? I would like to see the quotes. Perhaps you could link me, because I have seen nothing of the sort.}

I think Poyet has spoken about an approach as did Walter Smith

Poyet approached to be posible Wolves manager

http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/12040/7539398/Poyet-reveals-Wolves-approach

They have to report something and will latch on to any slight rumour or twist any story to suit their cause and create their own news. They are the press after all. I have absolute faith in the board.

Chief executive Jez Moxey today refuted sugestions the job had been offered to multiple candidates on a short-term basis.

"We're not offering it around like confetti," he said.

(More like throwing the bouquet and watching everyone try to avoid it)

They are making Wolves a laughing stock. Said we will get someone in before our next match, just a day to go !! What idles do they think people are just to take it on a short term how many more will turn us down before they think that's not a good idea short term mmmm no !! Long term YES that's what we need. Is that not common sense. It is to me.

Dumb & Dumber the Dynamic Duo - what a pair of PLONKERS It really is the blind leading the blind.

Why have dave jones back yes was not backed by sir jack but we were has bad has now then backward step

Jones is older and wiser now. (And he's probably cheap).

I think I'll put a bet on him.

In fact I've just heard a rumour from someone close to Wolves that he's about to agree to a deal.

(rolls eyes)

On the cheap again

Did we not sack jones

Any news insider?

Flash of gold.........

As I have previously posted, those managers who have rejected the Wolves job have done so because:

a. They are only being offered a 13-game contract.

b. The follow-on appointment if Wolves survive requires them to work for a Director of Football.

c. If they are appointed in the summer, there is only £10 million to spend if Wolves are in the Premiership and only £2-3 million if in the Championship.

d. If Wolves are relegated, Morgan and Moxey have refused to confirm that key players will be kept.

Smith has turned the job down.

Next on the list will be Paul Ince, Peter Reid, Steve Maclaren, David O'Leary, George Graham and Graeme Souness

What a bloody shambles,moxey and morgan should just flip a coin. they are making the club a laughing stock

Can I have the job? I'll do it at least as good as clipboard could and I wouldn't me any trouble, honest!

Where are you getting the info from that we only offered a 13 game contract? I know for a fact that we offered Curbishley a 2 and a half year deal, and he refused because he wanted a 13 game contact in case we went down.

"Where are you getting the info from that we only offered a 13 game contract? I know for a fact that we offered Curbishley a 2 and a half year deal, and he refused because he wanted a 13 game contact in case we went down."

Interesting....that conflicts directly with what I heard....albeit I am convinced that the Director of Football rumour is the obstacle, not the contract

'I know for a fact that we offered Curbishley a 2 and a half year deal' - and you know this how? no official details have been released by the club, everything we read and hear is media frenzy

Transfer budget ridiculous no wonder people like curbs dont want the job all morgan and moxey are thinking about is getting a bigger stadium which will probably end up empty the way we are going

What utter rubbish no-one but no-one knows who is going to be manager stop speculating, you wont be satisfied anyway.

nothing has been leaked by wolves. disclaimers are in place to ensure we can do out business without having to have the press cover every angle. whatever your hearing and whatever ppl say about which manager has done what with wolves is a load of bull, as no1 has any info as of yet.

WS has said he doesn't want job for only 13 games he wants a longer contract - that is why he has sais no - he hasn't been offered job but asked if would show interest if asked!! skysportsnews

Think Adrian Childs was in talks last night to appoint new manager, believe he spoke to Roy Keane, Paul Ince and Christine Bleakley

Wolves still intend to appoint a Director of Football during the summer: this is one of the reasons that put Curbishley off.

Wolves "vision" is to find an experienced individual to be Director of Football to have oversight of all team issues, including transfers.

Morgan and Moxey wanted to appoint a manager to help Wolves survive, then ask that manager to continue next season but as Coach, working for the Director.

Curbishley refused.

Wolves are looking at Walter Smith, Peter Reid and Graeme Sounness as the sort of experienced figure to be Director.

As an interim measure, Wolves have broaden their horizons. Steve Maclaren has indicated he is interested and Wolves may approach his club for permission to talk with him.

Steve Bruce remains a contender and so does Ray Wilkins.

If truth be told, no decision appears to have been made or is even close to being made.

Stupid. Why bother introducing a Director of Football at this stage of the season? It just doesn't make sense, we are fighting for our lives at the bottom of the table - bringing Curbs in is more important than a Director of Football!

Sorry - perhaps I wasn't clear enough.

The Director of Football is part of the long-term vision for Wolves.

What Morgan and Moxey want is someone who can help Wolves survive relegation this season.

And then appoint a Director in the summer

According to Tim Nash on twitter , Walter Smith now wants to be the manager for the last thirteen games.FIASCO/CIRCUS/SHAMBLES are but three words that immediately come to mind.

It is prefferable to having Clipboard in charge for the last 13 games
