I was actually responding to the list Oldgoldilox put up. Don't seem to be reading any derogatory remarks towards him, about some of those names. Oh hang on, it's wolfie.......................what a pair of plonkers.

Pair of plonkers? I have only given my own opinion on Clough, as he has been mentioned.

Show me my derogatory remark and I'll apologise. Otherwise, I will eagerly await an apology from you.

Unless you were talking about Cinci of course.

Ah the Sheriff's arrived early - He thinks he's Wyatt Earp.

(In fact he misheard a local saying, "Why - a twerp!"

kants interesting fact

wyatt earp is descended from the earps of lye, stourbridge and would no doubt have been a wolves fan if fortunate enough that his ancestor had not emigrated

Not sure I can see the attraction of Paul Cook as our next manager. Good left foot but inconsistent midfield player and as a manager has done quite well in League Two but not brilliant.

Always remember when he played for us I saw an advert in the Great Western for a meeting of his fan club. It advised both members to turn up early as there was limited space available in the venue, which was the phone box outside the pub.

I think he fits the bill for our next manager if we discard Jackett, as he will be relatively easy to get and probably on lower wages. I doubt we would go for someone who has been around the block unless they are willing to take a big pay cut.

It would be a gamble as to whether he will make us any better, but I think I would rather us go after someone like that than take someone like Clough who has previously struggled to push a team on at this level.

That's the problem with sacking Jackett though, I'm not sure we would attract anyone much better, so taking a gamble would be the only way I could see us moving forward under the current regime.

Haven't been in the Great Western for years. Used to go in there regularly before match days.

Still waiting for your apology Sunny.

When it comes to worrying about getting someone better, why is it ok to continue with someone we already know is not good enough?

We don't know he isn't good enough. He has had one bad season with a bunch of mediocre players. Next season could be completely different and he could overachieve. He certainly wouldn't put us at risk of relegation like a wrong appointment might do (aka Connor, Solbakken and Saunders). So if we can't do better, or strive to do better, what's the point in risking the worst?

Before this season you couldn't speak highly enough about him. Now he is the biggest failure ever who isn't good enough for us.

Because he has made an incredible amount of mistakes this season, some completely unforgiveable ones.

As for not putting us at risk of relegation, but for the miracle of xmas we would be in the shat and fully deserve it.

He has made the same mistakes this season as he did last season. He was a hero then.

yeah ok tam.

Last season he dropped Stearman and we conceded loads of goals in November. This year he sold him and our defence was a shambles again. He has rectified this later on in the season, as he did later on last season.

Last year we had no real cover for Dicko. When he got injured we ended up playing a lazy striker not suited to playing as a lone front man up top and struggled. This season, Dicko got injured (this time more long term) and we tried Afobe and ALF, now Siggy, all of whom are not suited to playing up front on their own.

Last season he failed to strengthen the full back areas and when Golbourne got injured, we played Rowe or a centre half there. This season without Golbourne, we have played a right back or centre half there.

Last season, our midfield sat deep and didn't support the attack. Instead they relied on threading balls through to three of the best players in the league who forced opposition defences deeper and thus created space. This season, our midfield don't support the attack and sit deep however, they don't have three of the best players in the division to thread ball through to or create the space.

Last season, Jackett completely failed to strengthen the midfield, despite bringing players in. This season he has done exactly the same however, he has had his best players run their contract out, get injured or be sold.

He has made exactly the same mistakes, only this time they have been amplified by player sales and injuries. I pointed all of this out to you earlier in the season when you still worshipped him and you had none of it then. I am sure you will have none of it again now.

Well in that case he needs sacking today.

I have no problem saying i was wrong about him and was fooled, that doesn't change the fact his mistakes have been amplified this season and i could add a hundred reasons to your list.

His man management is horrific, he seems hell bent on sucking the confidence out of any player and for some reason talks of wanting pace and passing whilst picking players based on their baulk and 'power'.

The guy is a moron and has fecked up monumentally.


Remember 18-19 games ago when i was overreacting? Well 3 wins in 18 since then tells us all i was not overreacting, i was being lenient.

We are going nowhere with this clown and it couldn't get any worse than it is now, this guy could easily have taken us down this season but for some good fortune.

He's a clown now is he?

I have many words for him, i could write a book.

I have never ever seen a manager make so many mistakes and feck up so many things as i have this guy.

I tell you what my biggest concern is, and that is the fact he has no confidence and no idea how to implement his ideas.

He talks of one thing but dishes up the complete opposite, that is a sign of a guy that has lost the plot.

Really?

Solbakken and Saunders did a pretty good job of being worse with a better squad than we have this season.

And Kenny has had 3 seasons to build a side, they had 20 odd games.

In the third season you have the squad you have put together and should be able to play the brand of football you have been striving towards, we play the complete opposite.

Also, comparing this team to that, 2 points better off and 5 goals less.

That team was much better. Most of that team from that season would have started ahead the lot we have now.

This season Kenny has lost his best player in Sako. His second best player in Dicko to injury. The guy who was supposedly our best player didn't look interested and has been sold. Our player of the season was sold.

We have a transfer policy which doesn't allow him to adequately replace these players with players of equal ability, only with equal potential.

It is no wonder we are weaker. Mid-table is about right for us. Playing a better brand of football would be nice, but I doubt it would have us much higher and you would still be calling for his head, due to how much you built him up.

If he goes this summer it won't be a surprise. It won't be entirely undeserved. However, without a change at the top, a new manager is unlikely to make a whole lot of difference, as Kenny is nowhere near as bad as you make him out to be.

I just don't buy this 'Kennys hands are tied' line tam.

We took two 'good' players from league rivals at a cost of 4-5 million.

Took two of the top prospects from the lower leagues, both of which had played a lot of games so were not raw.

We took one of the top players from the polish league.

We signed a defender from the premier league.


Kenny was cool with selling Stearman and Golbourne.


It isn't an excuse that we now have a squad of players that look like strangers on the pitch, that stems from the manager and his haphazard managing techniques.

We have looked a complete shambles and that is entirely down to Kenny on the pitch regardless of what is going on off of it.

And that ignores loaning a proven goalscorer at this level in ALF, a guy from Sheff wednesday, one of Liverpools finest prospects and a reserve keeper from Arsenal.


That is not a bad haul of players at all and more than enough to have us challenging in this division.

I side with Cinci on this one, Tam. Jenny is as bad as he appears.

His purchases, by and large have been poor. I know that there is a selection "committee" but Jenny has stated on several occasions that he has the final say.

He is incapable of changing the pattern of a game. His substitutions generally don't pay-off and he is reactionary rather than proactive.

He doesn't know his best team and which formation he should play.

I appreciate that he has been "hamstrung" by injuries but has used the loan system poorly. Sagbo, Ojo, ALF, Graham!! Jeez!

Unlike Cinci, I didn't believe him to be the Messiah last season and thought he had a decent season, no better than that, but I believe that he has been "found out" this season when the "luck" of having Sako, Dicko and a motivated Afobe in the same team has disappeared.

I do accept that sacking him without a new owner in place is probably pointless and "look forwards" to many seasons of Wolves going nowhere until the ownership situation is resolved.

I never felt he was a messiah to be clear, but i did think he deserved more credit than the shoulder shrugs he was getting.

I criticised him plenty last season for being negative when he didn't need to be and his substitution management is the worst i have ever seen at any level, truly terrible.
