Wolves waiting on several Premier clubs

I think its ludicrous that any manager gets sacked during a clubs first season in the Premier League unless they are cut well adrift. Looking at the treatment of Adkins and McDermott, is there any motivation for the manager of a Championship club to overacheive and win promotion?

Sunny - Saying that we would have been better of sacking MM at this point in our first season in the Premier League is basically saying we underacheived. Do you really believe this? I think we massively overacheived that year and as such would probably have been worse off with another manager. I think the performance of the three managers following MM shows how good a man manager MM actually was.

Sacking a manager at this stage of the season means Reading are now relegation certainties. Did they not learn anything from Wolves sacking the manager last season with slightly more matches left and the managers they tried to attract telling us that they were on a hiding to nothing with so little time left.

McDermott did a great job getting them promoted and deserved to see the season through. I suspect like us Reading will not only go down but will find it difficult next season too

What I find amazing is that not one poster has addressed the OP's article.

Instead all and sundry have pounced on a tongue in cheek remark about me comically suggesting that McDermott come to Wolves on loan.

At least I kept up with the loan side of the article.

DJ, nothing in life is a certainty and there's no logical reason why Reading should learn from what went on with us. They obviously thought that the time was right to make the change and whether we agree or disagree, it was their decision and it should be accepted.

Football is a funny ol' game and one just has to move on with the times or live in a yesteryear world.

So to get back to tara's article, it would be nice to see a few new faces at Wolves and hope that whoever comes in can help save us from what could be another disaster of a season.

Not many comments actually discussing the article.

You deserve better Tara.

I just hope we get a striker in soon, which should be the end for Doyle. ...at last.

The more time that goes on the less point there is in us getting a striker. But we don't need one anyway. Seb and siggy and probably Cassidy are all capable of scoring in this league.

Seb needs a target man to feed off of (like he did with big Chris), siggy never plays up front for any more than 10 minutes before Saunders decides to put him out wide and push the goal scoring machine that is Edwards up the pitch and Cassidy hasn't had anymore than a game at a time. So what's the point in even getting someone else in. A lack of chances being created by the midfield and only playing 1 up top is the problem not the quality of the strikers.

Interesting that WIT(LE)SS says that no one has addressed the OP's article, when in fact the article doesn't pose any questions requiring answers, and yet, completely ignores this one particular contributor's query!

Butey, go find where I stated that your hero should be sacked at this point during our first season.

I'm afraid you've jumped on the tatter bandwagon.

What I did say was that his tactics were wrong to begin with i.e. playing 4-4-2 and thankfully he changed it to 4-5-1 with Doyle playing the lone striker role.

It was the second season that I feared relegation and that he was out of his depth. Especially when he kept Fletcher on the sidelines for too long.

Do you really think that the witless comments are really necessary?

By the way, Tara posts articles on here for comments, so they don't have to be in question form. So to take a leaf out of your book. Have a few of these.

Any chance of discussing football and the article?

I think the whole Mick thing has been discussed to death and anything we say isn't going to change anything regardless of opinion.

The arguing just gets a bit boring after a while.

DJ/Crikey, there was one major difference. McCarthy had had three seasons and three lots of Sky money to transform your squad from a Championship one to one able to withstand the Premier League - it needed more depth and quality, and Mick didn't really bring either in sufficient quantity. He had a golden chance and didn't take it.

McDermott is the victim of a (presumably) moneyed and power-mad Russian who thinks hiring and firing is some sort of norm, and we're seeing far too much of it nowadays - Southampton (some Italian twát at the helm) Chelsea of course (Abramovich wouldn't dream of living in Russia, it's such a shít and corrupt country) Hibernian (a Latvian whose bank has gone broke and is being investigated) and now Reading. I hope no one takes the Reading job this season (I hear they've approached Di Matteo). Even Guardiola steered clear of Chelsea and Abramovich and opted for sensible Bayern Munich instead. So these people come over here and bring their culture with them. Well I wish they'd just fúck off again. I really hope Reading and Southampton go down now and don't come back.
