O'Neil's Future?

Problem with minority interests in a club is how much do Fosun give them a say in how the club is run. Suspect Fosun are happy to take the cash but not give up much of their control. A new investor will want to know how their investment will be used and also have a say in the way the club operates. Not sure Fosun would be a caring sharing partner

As for GON I think the club will come under enormous pressure if we were to not beat Southampton and stick with him. The international break that follows looks like an ideal time for a change. If we don’t bite the bullet then, we would probably be sticking through to Xmas and the danger then would be making a change too late to save our skins.

As for a replacement then Moyes is the name that keeps cropping up. Give him a 6 month contract to keep us up which he probably would. Trouble is I have no doubt he would demand a 3 year contract and his uninspiring brand of football doesn’t appeal to me. Potter may be better and it was him that set Brighton on the way to becoming a decent top flight club before becoming one of many that thought Chelsea was an attractive alternative when it wasn’t. Would love us to find an up and coming Continental manager but then we do need someone who can land running.

Maybe Mendes could find the right answer. He did with Nuno and with the players he helped bring in during that era. Since we stepped back from using Jorge our dealings have been far from good and that has been a key factor in us ending up in this mess.

...I remember Tam and I being quite outspoken about how poor we felt he may be and getting shouted down on here, primarily by Wolfie. He won us over for a spell but I guess the initial thoughts were pretty spot on after all.

Thanks for the mention...again. I am fully supportive of any manager, when he first comes in. However, there comes a time when, like at present, things don't seem to be getting better and results are the one thing that determines the fate of any manager,

Only a single win in 20 league games is a sign that he may well be out of his depth and a fresh face needed to kick start our campaign. Leaving it until Xmas may be too late. The stats are telling us, that any club in our position at this stage of the season, with the amount of points we've got, generally get relegated.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Wolves have played 7 of the top 8 teams + Newcastle.

That must be hands down the toughest set of fixtures in the league and the usual stats being bottom at this time in the season likely does not take account of such difficult fixtures
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Difference though is that we took 11 points from the equivalent fixtures last season.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

and have since sold Neto and Kilman for £100m and brought in no marks for a fraction of the cost.

GON did an amazing job in the circumstances last season and this season his hand has been further weakened. Your ire should be at the board, not the manager.

There’s plenty of ire with the board and if I had millions
to buy them out I would

But Wolves still have a decent squad and GON should be doing better than one win in 20 and no wins this season. Injury problems last season, tough fixture list this season, tough calls from VAR. All good excuses but we still shouldn’t be bottom

I think that given our opening fixtures and options in central defence, we absolutely should be bottom of the league. We have got Championship centre backs.

Remains to be seen if GON can polish a 💩 and pick up a couple of wins in November?

I agree to an extent, there are certainly mitigating factors but you look at the defensive record and the defenders we have, none of them are terrible defenders, they all have plenty of PL appearances under their belts, all are regular international starters for their countries (bar Dawson) yet our defensive record is appalling.

The board are largely to blame for the mess we're in but GON isn't blameless either.

A is my answer I think they would have to

If he goes, which I feel will be sooner rather than later if results don't start coming in, we will need to be careful who we bring in.
Please do not let it be Moyes, even for a short time.

A for me too.

What was the question again?
