Average Expat?? Is there such a thing?? I read somewhere once that expats have a higher than average IQ, thats how they end up as expats

Signs of recovery would be playing style, signings, youth development all showing signs of moving us forward.
Not the same players scratching out results whilst the dressing room remains split.

cinci

If we are playing an impressive "style" and we have made some good signings that show signs of moving us forward...

HTF could we possibly be outside of the top 6 of Division 3??

Higher than average IQ? You're havin' a larf!

You're havin' a larf!

We have not got time to take that sentence apart

As Ulf said the other day Deja, what if a bad penalty decision costs us the play off final, or a crop of injuries to key players, or just plain bad luck and bad ref decisions and we miss out by a point or three.........is that a sackable offence?

What then, we bring in the next guy who brings in a handful of his players and we have more turnover than oxfam.

It was for McCarthy Cinci, and you didn't object to that

lizardburns....yet more sense !!!!

You're quickly becoming my favourite poster although Geoff palmers Zico Barnett remains in front !

Can you really see Di mateo down here ?

Don't get me wrong ....I'm no fan of Warnock but feel he could do a job to get us out of Div 3 but realized he has baggage ......

The McCarthy collapse was 5 years in the making, the wheels were falling off, thats undeniable, are you suggesting we should have sacked him after one season or did it work out better for us to allow him time to rebuild the squad the way he did with young and hungry players?

Halfy be

Di Matteo would be a good appointment as well.

I'm not advocating the sack culture, I don't think it works. I agree that we need to stick with someone, last season should have shown us we have absolutely no right to bounce straight back and I'm not sure we will. It doesn't always work out like it should on paper.

My slightly tongue in cheek comment was to highlight the inconsistency I feel exists when you talk about excusing a manager for injuries and bad refereeing decisions when Mick never got the same treatment. I genuinely believe that if we hadn't had a Newcastle fan refereeing our match against Newcastle and we had won it as we absolutely should have done under the laws of the game - our decline would have been arrested by that win and we might not have turned it round. I still believe that game killed us - the players looked like they'd been hit with mallets, they just could not believe we had not got anything from that game and their heads never picked up.

I don't really know why I'm going off topic like this...just so sad remembering it all

I know it was slightly tongue in cheek ulf.

The reason Mick was on borrowed time was in part due to the season before, personally i felt he earnt a third season but i understand why some fans felt differently, even morgan said we would not be enduring that again, sadly for whatever reason we did endure it again.

We were certainly robbed in a few games, but the flip side is we robbed qpr and wigan as well, but i get the point you make, i guess we shall never know, but either way whats done is done

So lizardburns says something of sense before suggesting we may hire a champions league winning manager to fill a League One vacancy...and gets clapped for it.

I see.

The Matador does not 're-read' things. The Matador knows what he read.

That would be the out of work, nobody wants champions league winning manager would it ?

When you look through the list of League One teams we'll be facing & take a guess at their resources relative to ours, surely it would be inconceivable to think that whatever style we adopt that we wouldn't make the top 6. I do not see an argument for not sacking anyone that can't achieve a top 6 finish.

As for the snake pit dressing room...I think that will be very watered down as so many senior players will have moved on or will not feature. I'm expecting the U21 team to play a large part & any 'coach' from the shortlist should be able to motivate 'young & hungry' players in the way they want.

We were dropping like a stone after the false dawn of first three games - the Albion game wasnt a blip, more a sign of the absolute failure of Wolves to build on Survival Sunday.

Spot on Wolfgang.

It depends what the philosophy is for me simon, if we keep a majority of these guys we have had festering away for several years then we will not dominate at all.
We need to adopt the philosophy that Mick performed so well initially, young and hungry, and this time our expensive academy should be justifying its cost.

Some fans still seem to think we are bigger than we currently are......the fact is that the likes of Tank and Ismael, McAlinden etc would have been loaned out this season had we stopped in the champo.....guess where? To the league we are now in.

I hope we haven't got a summer of this inane drivel.

"your renewal price is £405 plus a £6 booking fee" thats it, well done, try and coax me back by charging me a booking fee.
I give up
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I have to agree with you 2472, given the last two seasons, the £6 booking fee is a joke.
You should write a letter back enclosing your old season ticket stilecard telling them they can keep it, and tell them because of the £6 they won't be getting your £405.

You know how it goes, Pundit. We seen it for 2 years now.
By the time next season starts, Wolfs will have convinced themselves that their current players are twice as good as they really are playing for a 'well run' club (unlike the other teams in the same league) and the 'new' manager/head coach is 'perfect' for the job promising Prem footie within 3 years having finally replaced Micks 'dross' with 'young and hungry' acadamy players and some 'bargain' journeymen................

.....then a ball gets kicked.........

.....wheres the coffee?
