Good news. Time to start afresh. If only the club could now quickly come up with three or four intelligent signings in key positions to help the youngsters on this coming season then things might at last start looking up a bit. And no that does not mean prolonging our 39 year old captain's career. For the umpteenth time why can't he be encouraged to pursue his coaching ambitions with us? 25% of his wages could be paid for by letting Carl Hoddle pursue his ambitions in the motoring trade.....

FFS I for one am not happy. We haven't got any players left!! Kennedy is a very good Championship player, his attitude was poor last season but he was definitely made a scapegoat on here. I just can't believe how threadbare our squad is now. We need 5 or 6 players coming in and I definitely can't see that happening.

Connor is looking after the reserves next season in the arranged games. guess that would indicate they are confident of getting enough games organised.
Gray - His contract ends the end of this month and as of yet Wolves have made announcement as to whether he will be released or be offered a new deal.

Perhaps Jones can coax some decent form out of Kennedy but he is finished with us. It is Cardiff's potential signing of Koumas which is more worrying - with the Cameron Jerome money they can afford him now at around £1.5m which is a steal imv. If only we had got him on loan in the first place last season!

If he was to be released why not do it now while he has time to look for another post. Wolves often delay until the last moment on most staff that are not wanted by the fans and then sign them at the last moment.

Sod's law says that Jones has Kennedy looking useless getting boo'd at left back all season long, except for the home game against us when he'll play him on the left wing and he'll tear us apart getting clapped off the Molineux pitch for the only time in his career!

Yes sometimes he has been used as a scapegoat but le't face it he has faded badly after his first two good seasons. He is no longer a winger, he is not a fullback, he is not a midfield playmaker or defender, and he is not captain material. So why pay him enormous wages to carry on being a jack of all trades but master of none? I would like to see Naylor as a left midfield attacker with perhaps Daniel Jones given a go behind him at left back.

22-06-2006, 14:10
If Kennedy's a scapegoat then what about Leon Clarke, Seol, Frankowski, Cort, Anderton, Postma, Craddock, Naylor, etc etc??
All these players have received their fair amount of criticism this season and I think alot of the criticism aimed at Kennedy is justified and accurate, but a scapegoat he certainly isn't!
While some of the players listed above give their all (Naylor, Clarke, Franki), Kennedy is clearly bone idle on the pitch. For a guy who's only 30 he shouldn't be moving in-field yet. He has clearly demonstrated on occasions this past season that he can still run at pace as he has chased back opposition wingers and easily kept up with them I've noticed. But when he's attacking he is too content to refuse to take people on and play the simple sideways pass. He's surely not lost the ability to beat a player over night, but I think because he's come inside now he doesn't need to do any of this running stuff and he can sit in the centre circle knocking sideways passes!
His crossing last season was dire, his shooting no better, and I can't believe some Wolves fans think he's being harshly treated, and that he's been one of our best midfielders?! Absolute drivel. For an attacking midfielder I believe he contributed 1 goal last season which is unacceptable.
If you were at Leicester this past season you would have witnessed one of the most lacklustre, can't-be-bothered performances by a player I have ever seen and he deserved the abuse from the fans at the end of that game.
I think it'll be best for him to move on and allow us to use someone willing to run from box to box and run at defenders like Kennedy once did a few years back!

He wasn't played as an attacking midfielder for 90% of the season!!!
He was played as a defensive midfielder in front of the back four.

Er no Mutchy I don't think they will have offerded Kennedy zero so no need for the supercilious stuff. I think they will have offered him less that what he was already on because of the penny pinching approach taken by the club and that Kennedy is nowhere the player he once was and worth a great deal less anyway.
Maybe though you think 9 players having left the club with the possibility of more to follow is something to be happy and upbeat about. :rolleyes:

So you do agree that Kennedy's value to the club has dropped, and therefore he should be on a much lower wage if he stays at Molineux... but by the same token you seem to criticise Wolves on the basis that other clubs are willing to make him a better offer?

With the number of players that have already left the club possibly being added to should Kennedy and/or Seol leave as well then the squad will be in a very poor state as regards cover.

This kennedy business is just paper talk like mcleod. Nothing concrete that cardiff are going to sign kennedy. I'm indifferent about kennedy but would rather have kennedy than ince as ince is a busted flush and would offer less playing wise as his legs have gone.
I talked in a different thread about that we should get rid of cort, frankowski, kennedy , seoul but like someone said in response to me, if we get rid of all our experienced players then we could get relegated. His comments got me thinking, and it's troubling me that if we used mark little aand people like daniel jones as replacements they might not be ready or good enough yet. It's a difficult situation and i don;t trust hoddle enough to go out and get adequate replacements in the transfer market.

Mark Kennedy is an easy target He has been a good servant of this club and I for one will be sad to see him go
Some posters don't seem able to recognise that he was often playing under instructions and he has been wrongly criticised for being too defensive when that was exactly what he'd been told to do
The lovefest that surrounded Cameron's return from Millwall was unbelievable it was clear he was running out of steam in the 2nd half of matches but just because he huffed and puffed he was a fans favourite
Everyone has a right to their opinion but I really cannot understand the downright animosity shown to Sparky were none of you at Cardiff? Have you forgotten his goal (and celebration)
If he goes surely it can be with our thanks and best wishes to an integral member of the most sucessful wolves team of the last 20 years

If he goes surely it can be with our thanks and best wishes to an integral member of the most sucessful wolves team of the last 20 years
The best team that still fell hopelessly short of what should have been achieved.

Bad news. A far better player than people on here give him credit for.
At last we agree mate.

Cardiff are almost bankrupt and yet they have greater pulling power than us! That 3-5 million doesn't even scratch the itch of their current debts!

Whatever happens, we've all got some good memories of Kennedy- the year we didn't go up he was superb and that goal in Cardiff. I say good luck to him. I still hope he stays.

I haven't read this site for a couple of weeks, never mind posted. Things don't change.;)
For those of you who are panicking about the size of Wolves squad, I took the trouble to compare squad sizes of every club in the league. It's based on the latest information I could find.
Barnsley......25
Blues..........29
Burnley.......21
Cardiff........24
Colchester...24
Coventry.....28
Palace........26
Derby.........22
Hull............26
Ipswich.......26
Leeds..........27
Leicester.....26
Luton..........27
Norwich.......25
Plymouth.....23
Preston.......27
QPR............30
Sheff Wed...25
Soton.........24
Southend....18
Stoke.........27
Sunderland..26
West Brom..24
Wolves.......22
Looks like Burnley, Wolves and Southend are down for certain due to their lack of a big squad and Derby will struggle as well. QPR are certs for promotion and it looks like comfortable mid-table for Barnsley.:rolleyes:
BTW this may shock some of you, but clubs are allowed to have a small squad and then use loan players to cover for injuries etc..
It strikes me that some posters on here deliberately act as though they are stupid to try and make the same point that they have for half of their 7,000 posts. Either that or they are simply stupid.

Kennedy will still expect a fairly big wage. Is he worth it?
He was our best footballer in a very poor disjointed midfield last year and ended up being ineffective due to his own lack of pace, lack of team pattern and in the end, sheer bloody frustration.
He'd be ok playing sweeper in a Hoddle side, but he's not a central midfielder and he's not been a winger for 2 years now.
If Hoddle doesn't think he's worth anymore, then let Kennedy go to Cardiff.

He hasn't signed for anyone yet!
Its all speculation as usual!
No point debating it until he goes or stays - either way people are gonna bleat like sheep about it.
We can't afford to release many more players and expect to survive in this division!

We simply can't match Cardiff on wages. At the end of the day it will come down to that.

Sod's law says that Jones has Kennedy looking useless getting boo'd at left back all season long, except for the home game against us when he'll play him on the left wing and he'll tear us apart getting clapped off the Molineux pitch for the only time in his career!
I know you cant read this :(
I;ve clapped Kennedy off the pitch about 100 times. He was our best player for two years, and then Gray converted him to a left back.
We will wish we still had him next season when we are forced to take the field in the first match with only 8 players.

We will miss Kennedy far more than he shall miss us !

We should look to get Seol out of the door for about £1m if he has a good WC and also substantially truncate the playing side of Paul Ince. After that, we should seriously stop trimming our squad.
We have a 22 man aquad presently: expect that to rise by three, four or five next season with the promotion of youngsters from the youth team, plus loans (which I'm sure will be a common thing for us) and a few frees. I wouldn't expect any money to be spent by Hoddle at all this pre-season.

If you want to add "squad" players just for cover you can find far cheaper in the lower divisions that can fill that role!!!
If it's that easy, perhaps you'd better tell Glenn about it?

We should have kept him. A class above most of what we've got left. Maybe its just a rumour put around by Kennedy's agents during this period of negotiation with wolves

Strange how so many posters champion Cameron's cause but are quite happy to see our best midfield player from last season leave!!!
I'd have Kennedy over and above any of those we have released or have offered new contracts to.
Absolutely, I know who I'd rather have.

We wont get off that easily. We will be in the lower reaches so that we have to suffer again the season after.

Absolutely DW - it will be a sad day if true.
That is now nine players down, including Alliadere, with the total likely to rise to 10 if Seol goes. We have yet to add a single player to the squad. My pants are getting decidedly damp.

Cardiff are gonna finish higher than us next year - a wise move by Kennedy IMO!
All Kennedy cares about is how many years are left on his contract, $$$$$$$$ to the league position.

I don't doubt he once had ability, but the fact is he brings nothing to the team and thats been the case for a long time now.

Relax, there was considerable pantwetting going on in the summer of 2001. Jones didn't sign anyone until July when Kennedy signed. He was quickly followed by Netwon & Cameron in August and Rae and Blake in September and we were off. There's loads of time yet.
