Just been talking to a wolves squad player he says Jacket HAS got the job, and next seasons squad will NOT contain any player over the age of 25. I do hope he's wrong. P. J.

How old are henry/o'hara/Johnson? Please be 26+

I think Jacket has got it this was sewn up the day they sacked Saunders. M&M making it look like they are taking their time being thorough.

Do you think the board would tell the players who the manager was without calling a press conference first. It's not likely they would trust the players to keep it a secret is it. Plus they would have to agree compo with Millwall before agreeing to anything.

Why do people bother making up utter rubish!

I don't know much about jacket but I was speaking to a millwall fan today who seems to think he's heading for wolves and he thinks he's a great manager!

Wolves looking at Ben Gibson from Middlesbrough and Byron Webster from Yeovil both defenders with knowledge of and power 1 division

I had look on wiki and the lad Webster evidently impressed on a trial for Doncaster against Wolves in 2009. I went to that match, we had just won promotion to the Premier and hopes were high. Donny took on Webster on a two year deal, but then gave him a free. He has played a lot for Yeovil this season but that is where we are shopping now, at Poundland. The mismangement makes my blood boil.

Cardiff City are after Johnson & O'hara - Any other fans want to chip in the taxi fare with me?

Bjorn will be staying next season!

Good luck to them. O'Hara done precious little due to injury.

What does Redbird think of that?

DAT

18 May 2013 18:44:14
drive them there myself

Done precious little either side of injury either, cash cow!

You mean - o'hara done precious little!

Two fine stalwarts of the game. Is there a better CB available now - don't think so. As for midfield, wouldn't look past O'Harnia - done all his recuperating with us and just ready to fly with a new team. Lucky Cardiff.
wolfshead.

If cardiff have RJ will he then hold a record? 4 consecutive relegations at the end of the season I think so!

Talking to tv wm's rob gurney today and Chris powell has applied for the wolves job

How does he know

According to a few Saturday morning papers S McClarnon has already had talks with Wolves concerning their managers post, one of three to be spoken to not interviewed as yet.

18 May 2013 07:21:49
I'm not a wolves fan but I've been told by a very close friend that your next manager will be Micky Adams.



Tb

I have a close friend who knows buggar all aswell.

18 May 2013 20:22:23
I also have friends who talk a pile of s**t, this Chris Powell rumour is an interesting one and could be good for the club. WTID

That's because your a wolves fan

Karl Henry & Kevin Foley will sign for Ipswich before the new season as the clear out begins at Molineux. Wolves are hoping to sign experienced midfield man Stephen McPhail and striker David McGoldrick off Nottingham Forest. Also the new head coach will be announced within the next two weeks with Roy Keane currently in pole position.

I dearly hope not. Roy Keane was a quality player. But a 2nd rate manager and a 3rd rate pundit.

And Stephen McPhail?What happened to all the "lets use our youth" then?

No ta

Andy Woggle

Yea he was top class player and I hope he's not appointed as head coach but maybe it's ideal situation to become top class manager! Either way I think well get Gary Johnson when Yeovil lose in the playoffs
Maddswwfc

I certainly hope karl henry goes

Sako will shortly be confirmed a Fulham player in the not to distant future. Gorkss has returned to Reading and Wolves will not take up option of signing him permanently, this despite the Royals showing serious interest in RJ. Doyle will certainly leave but destination is still undecided however Leeds and the Royals seem in pole position. With one already gone back to parent club, two confirmed exits and another strongly linked away from club the exodus has begun. let's hope Henry, Ward and JOH are the next to be confirmed that there future lies away from the club. Looks like Thelwell, etc - are going to be busy this summer. On a seperate note I understand that many of the U21's are privately contented with the relegation outcome, they obviously know their chances are around the corner now in Div 1.

I though Gorkss held the option - to sign for Wolves if he wanted to. Clearly Reading reserves sounds like a better option for him than L1 with Wolves.

Sako will leave and I really hope he gets a Premier club, preferably with a continental-style manager, where he could do well.

McWulf

Sako distanced himself from any move via a micro blogging website. Well any move for now.

Micro-blogging site. Is that aimed at the vertically challenged.

17 May 2013 17:20:02
Griffiths won't be playing for wolves next year he's told the board he wants to leave regardless of manager and wolves don't want a unhappy player at the club! Extended his contract to get a fee

Total rubbish. he as already stated he as unfinnished buisness at wolves and wants to show the fans what he can do. go away sandwell boy

As if you actually know this for a fact. Mere unhelpful speculation; I'll wait to hear the true outcome of Griffiths' meetings with the club people.

Funny that because I heard that if he fails to play he will be held in the reserves until contract is finished

Hibs fan- leigh griffiths has said he has unfinished bitvess in england but want to stay at hibs

18 May 2013 22:07:18
get a sell on clause min 25% when he goes!

Mansfield Town star Matt Green.

linked to wolves and a host of other cubs

This must be the Matt Green we let go on a free transfer a couple of seasons ago. That was a relief.

Redbird

Matt green has never played for wolves {Ed003's Note - If you look at the posters tag you will realise he is a Cardiff fan.}

This just sums up the knowledge of some people on here. I didn't make this original post but the second comment just shows how people just like to moan.
Matt Green has never been on our books. Born in Bath his clubs include Bristol City academy, Newport County, Cardiff City, Darlington (loan), Oxford United, Torquay United, Cheltenham Town (loan) and Mansfield Town.
So unless he played for us carrying a rattle and a dummy- you are wrong {Ed003's Note - same reply as to the other post.}

It's funny how you've gone to all that trouble researching his previous clubs! if you read the post carefully it's from redbird (a cardiff fan) and yes well done your research has confirmed he did play for cardiff!!

Don't Cardiff wear blue? ;)

He's a Cardiff fan who follows the wolves, get off your soap boxes!

And aren't Cardiff going to be called "Dragons" now too? Will Redbird become Reddragon?

Hope you don't mind all this attention Redbird. Most of us know you're a Cardiff fan and you post some good stuff on these boards.

McWulf

My mate just told me that they are looking at Phil Brown even though he's not long gone to Southend? Anyone else heard that?

Your mate must be drug addled and hard of hearing.

17 May 2013 11:29:13
Leigh Griffiths gets a one year contract exteension!

Andy Woggle

Only so he can be sold for a price rather than free. He will not be playing for wolves next year guaranteed

Wolves already had this in place - they've just activated it to ensure that we get a sell on fee if he doesn' t want to play for us

Does this mean we'll actually play him? Can't see the point of extending his contract and then loaning him out again. Also he must be worth more to us as a proven goal scorer than the minimal amount we could sell him for.

Rustymini

Nice to see the boo boys back already, how long has our campaign been over? There has been people on here crying for Griffiths now he has the contract extension it is because of financial reasons, nothing to do with the fact he is banging them in for fun in Scotland?

He will play for us next season. He as stated he as unfinished business at wolves and wants the chance to show us fans what he can do. Grt news

Saunders didn't rate him for some reason. BIG mistake - he's the real deal

Why is it boo boys? I would say its just cold hard facts, he has just knocked in near 30 goals and can play in europe next season, who can blame him for wantung more?

You're right not boo boys, just people bemoaning Griffiths return, saying it's just for ££££

I wasn't "boo-boying". I was trying to make the point that I hope he's back to play and not for any other reason. I for one can't wait to see him don the shirt.

Rustymini

Whether it's for £££ or to play, it's right to keep him on. Anyone disagree with that?

McWulf

I'd love to see him and Cassidy up front they would destroy league 1, just can't see it happening, I think he'll be back in the SPL at hibs or Celtic

Need four strikers to choose from. Cassidy, Griffiths, Mcalinden and Siggy.

17 May 2013 07:02:07
Chris powell, is being heavily linked to the wolves job. This will be confirmed in the E&S later. JT

Chris powell. 5/1 where the hell, did that come from?

jason wolvesforlife

Fair play if we get Chris Powell, Charlton fans will be in bits! Paul Tamworth

E&s reports, wolves will have to pay compo, to millwall iff jackett gets the job, so hopefully that jackett out?

jason wolvesforlife

I hope you get Powell. McLaren and Jackett are only marginally better than Deano.

Redbird

Jacket odds shortening, will we never learn?

Blimey we must be desperate giving players away before we get a manager

People need to realise the odds change primarily based on money lumped on, as its not a massive market regarding wolves a bet of say a grand will have a large impact on any managers odds.

16 May 2013 14:13:18
Steve Coppel just been interviewed, Interview took place at the Mount Hotel Tettenhall. Therwell and Moxey but no Morgan. All were smiling and Laughing when they left but I think it was just an interview and no decision on the new appointment will be made until later next week as more candidates to be seen.

That's funny cause moxey is on holiday until next week?

Moxey in Kuala Lumpa.

How do you know Moxey is on holiday in KL?

If Moxey on holiday who interviewed Jacket earlier this. week?

No mate u are lying. My sister works at the mount and she says that no was there at all. I believe Moxey is not even in the country!
It's not as if Steve Coppell fits the job description of a head coach.
Why waste your time making up very elaborate rubbish?

Why is moxey on holiday when the club are making the most important managerial appointment in years.

Thewell moxey isn't interviewing everywhere has stated that and moxey is on holiday

Reading fan here. Coppell won't manage a club again as it affected his health too much. A good manager for you would be someone like Owen Coyle or Gary Megson who know how to get teams promoted

Jez won't give up his hols for the the clubs sake, get real. More proof that he is all about himself.

It will be Kenny Jackett, who is his assistant? Paul Tamworth

Chris Powell straight in at 12/1? I didn't see that one comin! Paul Tamworth

16 May 2013 22:56:00
it's going to be Mclaren definitely. no I mean Coyle or was it Curbishley. that's it!. it's Jewell for sure because my sisters boyfriends aunty works down the chip shop and someone who is really in the know told her.

pendefordwolf

It's called someone taking a punt? Powell would be a fool to leave Charlton for Wolves

There is a report about Chris Powell coming to Wolves on one of the Addicks fan sites. The same article also calls the Express & Star "One of the most reliable sources for football in the Midlands". At the best the article will only be half right.

Rustymini

Must admit wondered why Moxey would be on holiday at this time but then someone pointed out to me that he did not appoint Solbakkan and Saunders anyway and it would be better for him to take a holiday now so that he can betting moving on all the transfers when he comes back. We all know he can get money for old rope so let's just let him do what he is actually good at!

Maybe he's interviewing a Malaysian candidate or maybe a
Briish candidate on holiday in Kuala Lumpur !

16 May 2013 01:07:13
Certain red top is suggesting McClaren to be installed within 48 hours with Jimmy Floyd Hasselbank as number two.

As I said though, from a red-top paper. Could do a lot worse though. Can't see RJ, JOH or KH answering back to Hasselbank.

Can't see Moxey paying the wages though

Andy Woggle

It's going to be McClaren or Jackett. IMO forget anyone else. Paul Tamworth

No thanks to Hasselbaink.

It's in the Mirror

I'd take McClaren over the other candidates but wouldn't be upset with us appointing Coyle

Jimmi Floyd could still do the business for us as a player in div 3

Roby_B

I'm playing against Jimmy on Saturday I a charity match so I will ask him👍

17 May 2013 08:52:21
Oh, that reminds me, I'm playing Jenga with McLaren on Sunday so I can ask him. Between the two of us we can get to the bottom of all these rumours once and for all.

Based on what happened last season and just as we are still trying to get Henry, Johnson and O'Hara out of the door what we need is a massive ego in the dressing room like Hasselbank. Please can we just have a normal decent hard-working manager/coach.

Haha I saw the charity match and Jimmy was playing, so I believe you. No Collymore?King?Neville?Beardsley?Lehmann? false advertising! what did Jimmy say? 2nd half was 'meh' by the way!

15 May 2013 23:11:34
The shortlist for Wolves manager is as follows-
Owen Coyle
Kenny Jackett
Steve McClaren
Neil Warnock
Michael Appleton
Nick Barmby
Keith Curle

Also a rumour circulating that Graham Turner could be on his way back to the club in a DOF style role.

Considering in old money we are a 3rd Division club with the exception of Curle, Barmby that list, if true does look good, perhaps we could both a head coach and DOF from them

Thelwell has been put in charge of footballing operations so surely this must be at least part of the job a dof would do. So can't see a 3rd tier side having both.

I've seen 1st hand Michael Appleton with the kids at west brom an he won't take no s***! Spent time as a kid at man u an very good coach which he's a manc aswell so he'd make them lot up there earn what they get paid!

Kevin thewell is to hold second talks with sight to new manager. apparently he will have a say to the clubs running in the future

15 May 2013 16:25:54
Ha ha don't know how Wolves manage to keep business away from the bookies but they always do. Some bookies have about 30 names on their page for next manager but not the one Morgan has been back slapping today. Step forward Mr. Paul Jewell.

Oh no please!

Apart from Wigan which he did a very good job, last 2 jobs were very disappointing
We need someone on the way up not on the way down

He may enjoy fellow scouse humour at the bar, but he would have to be mad to take a risk on the Mr Jewell. He may be a slow learner as far as football business is concerned but given the lessons of the last 18 months I think Mr Morgan has lost his taste for risks.

Owen is the only jewel that Wolves want, he'd make them sparkle.

This would be a worse appointment than saunders. he was clueless at ipswich.

It will be Kenny Jackett. Will be announced next 48 hours, then season ticket refunds and new pricing.

Correct Jacket HAS got the job and there will be 9% rebate on all early bird season tickets, announcement on Monday. PBM {Ed001's Note - are you PBM or P.J.?}

I'm P. J and my wife who is a season ticket holder as I am is PBM. We both use this very good site, hope that's ok.! {Ed001's Note - that's fine, it is just trying to figure out why both use the same IP and post the same info. I think it is fair that people should be aware of that.}

16 May 2013 15:05:16
Same as Walter smith not mentioned either

15 May 2013 15:02:00
My cousin in Ireland has told my that its in there news papers that Liam McAlinden may be moving to Manchester United this summer and I know it has already been mentioned in the rumour news so it may be on the cards, I read on the Wolves news site that the lads stats were outstanding that may be the draw.

Why when he's from cannock?

I'm from and Ireland and it's in no papers I read, and it would be big news because he plays for our under 21 nat. team

Plus he doesn't represent ireland. he's english born/northern ireland. which means he can only play for either.

My son was talking to him in Cannock a couple of weeks ago. He's disappointed Wolves have gone down, but looking forward to the next season with Wolves where he feels he may get a chance to feature in the first team. However, this was before Saunders was sacked.

Could be something in this considering Moyes was looking at him during the season for Everton.

He going no were. he from Tackeroo in Hednesford and Wolves through and through. he could be the next Bully.

Theres some big news to come out soon about Macca but sorry folks I'v been sworn to secrecy!! watch this space.!!

Wrong - anyone eligible to play for NIre can opt to play for SIre and vice versa as long as they have not played a competitive game under the FIFA special rule relating to the Good Friday Agreement 1998

14 May 2013 22:20:22
Bakary Sako is leaving in the summer with newcastle lining up a £4m bid

I don't know about the price, I think we will demand more, but I think we should all be resigned to losing Sako. If you were him would you stay and play league one football?

CalWWFC

If £4m has indeed been tabled, I reckon we can trust Moxey to do what he does best and negotiate upwards from there. Maybe £6m is achievable. The £3m profit would go a long way in L1.

McWulf

I see Steve Cotterill is closin in on the bettin and Coyle and Warnock drifting out? Paul Tamworth

Margereiter was claiming Fulham yesterday in German papers, and there's talk of Villa being interested too.

Sako was always going to leave. Way too much talent for L1. I just hope we get a decent, and not knock-down Division3 price for him

Andy Woggle

Sako to Newcastle. Will they have a manager after the weekend?

DAT

No need to accept a knock-down price, he's still got a couple of years left on his contract

14 May 2013 21:54:02
Everton fan here, my dad works at bannatynes gym in crewe where all the players train and Steve Davis is off for an interview in the next few days.
Not sure if this is suprising I haven't really been paying much attention.

No it isn't surprising. But is it true?

McWulf

Thanks for the heads up.

He seeme to rule himself out via the local media but he must be interested if Wolves are. Crewe or Wolves?

Crew or wolves no contest got to be crew

Let's have Dario Gradi as DoF and in charge of the youth set up

Media Wolf

17 May 2013 21:52:20
Just took £25 at 12-1 for S. Davis, I think that's who we really want and can also really get without too much compo, or preconditions. Bookies have him at 5/1 and they usually have the ear to the ground and reason for substantially lower odds.
