Can we have Darren ferguson in the dug out and sir Alex in the stands overseeing juniors mistakes/transfers/signings please?

I see on the Everton site that they are still after our Macca, it also say that now Moyes has gone to Man u may be the interest in him has gone with him.

Whatever. He has only just signed a contract and is a WOLVES supporter

With respect to the 'out of contract' players, I would personally keep the following:

Danny Batth (Year option I know),
George Elokobi and
Stephen Hunt.

In respect to the younger players, perhaps posters could enlighten me on their thoughts and opinions, thanks.

Build a team round sigurdarson using current academy players. Keep hunt - need his experience and a manager who plays football to feet on the ground and who plays everyone in the right position. Also one who can talk to the press sensibly and give us some pride back. Tough call - who is up for the challenge?

Thanks mate, good call.

Think we have a one year option on Elokobi as well.

Well said Chasetown. DS was frequently unintelligible. He did not understand when and when not to speak and most of his rambling comments were inane. Also, I would personally like to see a manager who can talk in sentences with a good command of the English, like Martinez for example. I would also like to see a manager who has a creative repertoire of tactics and the ability to work with players to translate these into action on the field, preferably in front of cash paying customers. I would ban players from talking to the press. Again, most of their reported comments over the last season have been cringe making, especially those about what they are going to do in their next game or how they share the pain of the fans. At least they should be required to undertake some training before going public. These people are the face of WWFC
and have made us a laughing stock.

roy keane is coming out as a top contender as manger now david moyes is man u manger

When we going to get rid of our dross? Will we wait for the new manager to come in and do it?

Good article by Steve frogatt saying we will have probs moving on our under achieving, high earners with 2 relegations on their cv. He also puts up a strong case for sacking moneybags moxey. Hope Steve Morgan reads it and acts.

Yes, probably.

Where is the article?

Moxey to evacuation chute, now, thank you.

Stand by. Passengers will be jettisoned by a responsible person only.

The intent shown this morning would indicate that Steve Davis is suited as our new 'head coach' unless we think that a Glenn Hoddle or Ray Wilkins could be tempted in as coach only. All others mentioned for me are 'managers' or 'players'. However for those who thought the end is near for Moxey - who was the one who issued the club statement this morning. Think he's staying put for now anyhows.

He should hang his head in shame and hold his hands up to his part in the colossal shambles that is wolves.

Mcleish never, for gods sake, he screwed blues and the villa
I know we, re already screwed but let's not really go for div 4

i have a strong feeling morgan and moxey are going to get it wrong again. if we are looking for a head coach, that rules out a lot of candidates. because of the position we are in, we are not going to attract top managers, the best we can hope for and possibly get is coyle. and my advise is stop hanging around and get him. we are not a prima donna club and can't afford to be choosy.

So we are looking for a Head Coach. This worries me a massive amount. And i'm not trying to be pessimistic here at all. i'm Wolves through and through and all I want is for us to have success. But are we going to have to rule out a lot of candidates at this point becaise of the job title? People like Owen Coyle are going to want complete control of the football side from top to bottom. And it also bodes the question - How much influence is Kevin Thelwell going to have at the club now? And how much influence is he going to have at First X1 level? i'm really not sure that this is the way to go. But we have to trust in Morgan and Moxey and now Thelwell as well. And this is another point that worries me. I don't want to sound all gloom and doom and I have everything crossed and double crossed for the future. But i'm worried. Really worried.

Highley Wolf.

Well, we can 't have it both ways. Many of us have been banging on for ages about the need for a DOF AND a team manager aka a head coach. Now, that is happening someone does an about-turn. Of course, it depends on Thelwall's ability to do the job and to liaise with the HC. Of course, I would rather we advertised his post but let's be grateful for this shift in thinking by the board. Owen Coyle might be put off by the new set-up but he was never going to come. Young, ambitious managers like Steve Davis will not worry about it and he is the sort of person I would like to see get the job. He has experience of the lower divisions and has a proven record of bringing on young players.

Moxey is to leave with Morgan drafting in new board member who is solely focused on commercial and a salary reflective of the role. Thelwell will head footballing matters not a DOF with the new manager being a promising young manager (davis, robinson).

23mill salary at present will have to be cut to 10mill, funds will need to be raised from player sales (sako, hennessey, doyle) and releasing high earners at loss (johnson, ohara, hunt), do not renew those out of contract (berra, ebanks-blake, edwards) or pursue our loanees (gorkss, dicko), then a back bone of experience recruited as quick fix for 12-24 month dangling the coaching carrot to push through (who you ask: ward (swindon) to play alongside bathh, murphy (bburn) to anchor midfield and phillips (blackpool/palace) to rotate alongside siguardson, mcallden and another hungry proven lower league marksmen; other than these we need a promising young left back of doherty mould.

Off the pitch bums on seats, get the kids involved next season offer tickets off cheap for all league one games, fill the ground and build foundations of supporters for the next 30-40 years; kids for a quid will fill it up in no time and once at the game - merchandise will sell and they will get hooked like so many of us, particularly if were winning.

Not sure how all this will work now due to fair play rules being in effect for L1, I mean 10 mil for wages, I think you might find wages for a L1 player is less than 3 grand a week unless you charge full price and fill the ground week in/out and would people be willing to pay good money to see teams like crawly or oldham because that`s reality.

Best bit of sense and logic Iv heard in a long time on ea gr8 idea, Phillips is retiring but we ask 1 more season out of him

I'd keep Hunt, even if he is a high earner, as he's worth it for his attitude, ability and experience. As such, he would be an excellent role model for our youngsters.
Southbank60

I'd keep Hunt too, unless someone comes in with a decent offer. Love his attitude and seems like a nice guy.

A few others we can pay off if no offers.
