No idea why you regurgitate the keep the manager lines.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Because it's a perfect example of a club not panicking and the manager keeping them in the division.
And that was little Leicester. (Wonder what happened to them subsequently.)
We plummeted down 2 divisions, getting knocked out of the cup by a non-league side along the way for good measure.
Our way, or the Leicester way? No prizes for guessing my preference.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
As I have said, the only thing Leicester have proven, and indeed West Ham is that clubs should be proactive rather than reactive, don't wait for it to go wrong, act before it does, saints another example.
Agree with that philosophy !
I'd have had no problem had Wolves appointed a new manager at the end of the season, once we'd stopped up. Who knows, it might have been Ranieri.
Sitting in a bar watching an amazing display by the gannets right outside the window. Must be a large shoal of wee fish out there.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Why didn't we do it at the end of the previous season?
That would have been the right time in hindsight.

Awesome sight, last time I enjoyed that spectacle would have been on Skye at a restaurant overlooking a bay also.
Fack sake, so kenny is talking of playing needing to become physically strong and that physicality is the problem.
Makes you wonder why he buys powerhouses like Byrne and Wallace and Rowe doesn't it?

You really are living the dream in Florida when comments on a football forum make your day.
Ok so, our recent managerial history has been raked up again (as it has been twice a week for the last three years). But back to the OP, who would we want to replace KJ? Of those available who would actually come to Wolves at the moment?
Pearson - baggage, bit of a stress head too much for Moxey to handle
Sherwood - Interesting, would probably want money to spend so would be a short interview
Rodgers - bigger fish to fry
McLaren - not covered himself in glory recently, patchy record, been there before with ex England managers
Moyes - no chance
Holloway - bit of a nutter, could go either way with him, depends whether hes still got the hunger
Grayson -patchy record again except at a lower level than McLaren
Carver - completely unproven in my opinion,
Monk - question marks over whether hes a good manager or not, Swansea haven't improved much if at all since he left, maybe worth a punt
Redknapp - out of our price range
Lennon - nope
Deila - ditto
Clarke - Albion connections aside - next job will be crucial to his career, cant afford to fail again, too much pressure at Wolves for him
Neville - could be the right job for him who knows? Big gamble tough, not for me
O'Driscoll - fans favourite a few years ago, took smallsal backwards, no way
Saunders - no words required
Clement - Timing could be right, needs to prove he can step up to the big seat, risky, can he adapt to working with a championship squad after RM?
Rosler - unconvincing in his last two jobs
Of those not currently available:
Martinez - Saunders with a Spanish accent
Cotterill - journeyman, needs to learn to stick to a good job when hes got one
Ainsworth - already doing a good job at WWFC, possible front runner
Doesn't make for thrilling reading does it!
Paul Cook has been doing ok at Portsmouth. He has previous connections to the club and I doubt would cost too much. Probably worth being on the list.
Not an inspiring list at all Oldgold. Hardly any really appeal to me and those that do we would not be able to attract unless we got a new wealthy owner that made us look like we might fulfil the club's potential. Moyes, Rodgers and maybe Pearson would be the prize captures from the list. Will Gary Neville make a good manager? Who knows. But none of them would sign up to being Moxey's puppet so things would have to change there.
Other than that we are in the same boat as we were when McCarthy was here when some were saying get rid, and others were saying get rid as long as we have someone better to bring in. And the attempts to find someone better have failed so far.
I don't think any on that list that we could realistically attract would really change things for the better and be a significant improvement on Jackett. The likes of Monk, Clement I'm not convinced about as managers.
Only chance would be to take a chance on an up and coming manager from the lower divisions but I don't know any, and the last one I thought would fit that bill, Hasselbaink, doesn't seem to have improved QPR.
Was going to say the same as tam and put cook on the list, the most realistic target and potentially a good move.
Always a risk though.
Poyet would get my vote but no chance of that happening either, he will go somewhere more ambitious.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ambitious? We have built a team capable of top 6 despite massive injury problems haven't we? How much more ambitious can a club be
A lot more.
We are looking for a good season if things go well rather than making damn sure we have a good season.
Cannot see KJ leaving imo. However if he does, Nigel Clough may be worth a shout. Got Burton Albion up from League 2 and is within a whisker of getting them up to face us next season.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Wow. That'll be a vast improvement from someone we had, (and you despised), who got us promoted as champions from this division, (his 2nd title win). You now tout a lower league manager who has done nothing over the years other than a promotion from League 2.
How does your mind work?
Siggy - he tried his best.
I assume his mind works the same as our owners perhaps?
Managers that may be worth offering the job rather than going backwards to a manager that would be given little room to breathe.
The point is, Wolfie hounded out a manager that had vastly greater credentials to someone he's now begging to some and rescue us.
You don't know what you've got 'til it's gone.
Careful what you wish for.
Maybe let's plea for Paul Cook. We're desperate,
Wolfie didn't hound anyone out, he wanted better for the club than what we had, with hindsight EVERY one of us would have got a new manager after two seasons in the prem
I would definitely go for Cook personally and think he would be a very realistic target.
Exactly. He killed the golden goose, (i.e. premiership status), and now we're begging for someone from lower leagues to save us.
Give me strength.
we need a ruthless, ambitous, sergeant-major.
in other words pearson.
unfortunately pearson will be looking for those same qualities in a club owner
Who is begging exactly?
'May be worth a shout' is quite a long way from begging
Poyet would be another target for me but he will go somewhere with more ambition than our current set up.
Carl Robinson seems to attract some attention for his job in the MLS.
Cook obviously doing very well and club ties also.
Hadn't given Clough any thought but it's a learning game, maybe he has improved in recent years.
Neil Warnock perhaps? Clearly the best manager in the championship.
I wouldn't want Clough. He did a good job keeping Derby afloat in the Championship with little money, but he couldn't kick them on. He is basically another Kenny Jackett.
I only want Jackett to go if we can attract better. I doubt we will.
