View Full Version : What would make a Wolves fan happy?

I rarely post but check up on this Old Gold & increasingly Black cauldron of opinion most days.

I rarely get to home matches now but saviour every moment I do get to Molineux (whether I witness a good performance or bad).

I have seen Wolves in the top division home and away ( 25 years ago) and in the bottom division home and away.

I've invested over 25 years of unconditional support to Wolverhampton Wanderers and I don't doubt I'll be supporting them for another 25 years and beyond. I haven't got a choice!

I'm aware I don't have a great deal of first hand witness testimony of how the teams been playing these days, but I have quarter of a century's interest and from afar I think Wolves are a club that ex-players, pundits, statisticians, rival fans and clubs expect to either be challanging for promotion, promoted every season or getting promotion and staying up .

It ain't really happening is it! And apart from our brief sojourn into the premiership it doesn't seem to be.

What would make me happy now at this juncture?

* A general acceptance by the fans that although YES.. we perceived as are a big club in this division..NO we do not accept that Southend at home is an easy game. Win it first then reflect.

*A playing, managerial and backroom staff given a realistically un-pressurised target our budget can handle (ie: stay in this division) and try compete now that the parachute money has gone ... and the not 'lay waste to the division' because 'WE'RE WOLVES' mentality that we've perhaps set ourselves up too easily for a fall for before.

*Not hearing reports of booing of our own players (despite if they've played crap)

I'd be more than happy for an unproven 'internal' manager to come in and get a little bit of money and have a go (maybe Ince, Evans et al with a Bull involvement) or a lower divisional manager to cut his teeth, rather than a high profile media savvy wage $$$$er to come and bleed this club dry again.

As I've said I haven't got a choice supporting Wolves and although I don't get to see them as often as I would for various reasons and I'm one of 'Moxey's Missing Molineux Mob' , I'm certainly losing patience with the leech managers.

Something else that would make me happy would be for us to play with some of the joy my niece finds when she kicks a ball. But maybe when Wolves get scalped by the agents of the players we get in the joy of football is absent.

For me.....long term stability in the Premiership.

Playing with passion would be a great start, The fans would react to that and Molineux would be rocking again...

A little piece of hope would do for now.

We're in, what I'm unrealialably told is the most competative league in the world with the prospect of the most lucrative game in the world (IE:the play-off final - which we've won in the not too distant past and was one of the happiest days of my life as I was fortunate to see it live) but should we really expect such joy so soon again with seemingly hungrier teams in the division.

Passion would be a great start Taffywolf... but what ignites it in the players?

Us the fans, the manager, the inheritent footballing gene... or cynically the four figure paycheck?

All night in with Kelly Brooke would make this particular Wolves fan very happy.

Failing that three points against Argyle.

Short Term - promotion
Long Term - major trophies.

Not much to ask for.

Fair play MTW...though I'll swap your Kelly Brook(e) for my Veronica Zemanova and an away win against Millwall in the cup?

Just going back to the Molineux makes me happy as a Wolves fan. Only got to 4 home games last year and they only got 2 points out of those 4 games - I was probably the only happy Wolves fan there

As always, beating the Boggies.

Oh, and promotion as champions would be quite cool too ;)

Automatic promotion next year, winning the premiership the following season without losing a match or conceding a goal. Go on to win the Champions league with a team made up entirely of English players who go on to form the entire England team and win the World Cup in 2010 with Leon Clarke scoring a hat trick in the final.....Oh and during this period W$$$ B$$$slide right through the leagues into the Conference forcing them to merge with Walsall and having to move out of the Hawthorns which is subsequently bulldozed and turned into a
B & Q Depot

Not a lot to ask for

F.A Cup run into the semi's Auto promotion by pipping Albion into 2nd and then them failing through the play-offs, £20'000'000 prem transfer budget, euro qualification through To-To cup in 1st season, etc etc!

I love Saturday's in the season, I love going to the game, all I want after last season is to look forward to Saturday again.
The only exitement last year was when Man Utd's name came out of the hat.
Everything else was turgid.

hmm - I'll have a word with the property director and suggest it. No promises though!

what would I want?

Promotion playing attractive football. Loads more goals each season like the great 50's side used to produce. Molineux rocking and full. Old Gold shirts.

What would make me happy?

Excitement.

I go to the football to be entertained. I want to see fast attacking football. I want to see 11 blokes giving it their all. I want to go to a "rocking" Molineux, 28000 getting behind the team.

I don't really care about success, but getting in the play offs at least would be fantastic.

Walking through the subway to find no dogman wanting my cash
Seeing Charles Ross actually selling a copy of ALOB ( apart from mine )
Walking into ground and not being breathed all over by fluorescent suited steward
Hearing a good song in the warm up ( not Reef the grungy scutters )
Seeing on pitch announcer being sniper rifled mid team announcement
Seeing the team sheet to find no Olofinjana
A goal or two ( with no Tom Hark )
Hearing a new song from the Chav Bank ( Shall we kick $$$$ out of you )
Being able to hear the half time scores ( no cliched competitions involving fat away fans/wolfie or mingers pretending to dance – this isn’t the OC you freaks, its WV1 )
Winning the game
Away fans to leave quietly, tails between legs – unless its Reading whereby they should all be beaten with axe's
Going to pub, no queue, and a decent pint

Me?

Apart from Chuck Ross dressing as a Clown and singing 'Life is a Cabaret' whilst selling his ware's it would have to be a cohesive unit that defends and attacks like a pack of Wolves.

For me it would start with an announcement next week, that the board have finaly put together a ten year plan.

Starting with Chris Evans made up to first team manager, assisted by Bull and Ince, all on long contracts. Followed by sir Jack standing on the Molineux convincing 28,000 untrusting wanderers fans, that we are all in this together.

Support the coaching staff and the new young team, give them your all in victory and defeat, and he guarantees no more second hand donkeys, and no more chancer managers changed every two or three years.

The normally sceptical Wolves fans buy it, and found the more thay supported, the easer it was for the management and players to overcome inexpeariance and kill giants. The success just rolled on and on.

On a sun drench evening in May infront of 60,000 ecstatic fans, Wolves defeated Spanish champions Real Madrid, to earn themselves a place in the Euro final. Another Golden era in the history of Wolverhampton Wanderers had began.

If not...Kelly Brook will do.
