It seems as though many are running out of patience with the current performances. If and when he goes, Who would replace him??


I will start the ball rolling with Ince or Martin Allen.

Wardrobe_Wolf
04-02-2006, 20:05
Ince will do for the rest of the season.


If it works out ok, keep him on a little longer on trial basis.

The problem at Wolves is a bit like selecting a manager for England. They don't want a troublemaker, so Martin Allen is out. So is any manager with a mind of own!

cue slagging off, peter reid


Don't think you should be slagged for that, Reid did a fab job at Sunderland, Took over at Leeds when they were in complete turmoil and had a short spell at Coventry with no money and no players.. He should be remembered for what he did at Sunderland. Another manager/player that shows PASSION!!!!!!!!

Ince for the rest of the season.


Does anyone know if he has taken his coaching badges yet?


Maybe he could entice his good mate Giggs down heresmileys/smiley36.gif

Taffywolf
04-02-2006, 20:16
Someone said on here last week that he has the required badges, And if he takes over on a temp basis he doesn't need them anyway..

In a dream world it would be one of the following:


Martin O'Neil (all round great tactician)


Kevin Keegan (attacking style of play would benefit our current squad!)


Sir Bobby Robson (Speaks for itself really - more experience than both above added together!)


In reality it could be any of the following:


Steve Bull (because he is a god if not the real god! His tactics may be flawed, but he has divine intervention powers!)


Paul Ince + someone with management experience(Mr Motivator)


Keith Curle (Mr Motivator II)


Peter Reid (No reason other than he is unemployed)


John Gregory (See Above)


Graeme Souness (Please No!)


Terry Venables (We seem to employ ex-England managers!)


Any other Manager currently unemployed at the moment!


The Gregory/Bull partnership almost was our management team before Hoddle was selected.

Whoever it is Bully should be his assistant if only to get the fans back behind the club.

Black Suit
04-02-2006, 20:21
Ince and Bull, it would be cheap and fun and we would regroup the following and get behind the club again.


I seriously think that we would not be so quick to slag them off, because this mess is NOT of their making. Mox the Pox to go too, surely the pie budget should be trimmed too.

Jim Bowen
04-02-2006, 20:25
Ince until the end of the season, we're highly unlikely to go up so it would be a perfect chance to see if he's got what it takes to be a manager.

In a dream world it would be one of the following:


Martin O'Neil (all round great tactician) - NOT A HOPE</span>



Kevin Keegan (attacking style of play would benefit our current squad!) - Maybe but needs money and lots of it - tipped to return to Newcastle</span>



Sir Bobby Robson (Speaks for itself really - more experience than both above added together!) - Too Old</span>



In reality it could be any of the following:


Steve Bull (because he is a god if not the real god! His tactics may be flawed, but he has divine intervention powers!) - Please No - we will only end up wanting him out too</span>



Paul Ince + someone with management experience(Mr Motivator) - Maybe But he cant motivate them on the pitch how much better will he do from the touchline</span>



Keith Curle (Mr Motivator II) - Banger</span>



Peter Reid (No reason other than he is unemployed) - Contender </span>



John Gregory (See Above) - Struggled in this division with Derby hasn't done anything really</span>



Graeme Souness (Please No!) - Walked the division with a poor Blackburn side - didnt spend that much keeping them up either</span>



Terry Venables (We seem to employ ex-England managers!) NOOOOOO</span>



Any other Manager currently unemployed at the moment!


The Gregory/Bull partnership almost was our management team before Hoddle was selected.




Stuart Baxter</span> - Was first choice but wanted to stay in SA - Now unemployed

Martin Allen</span> - working wonders at brentford but could the step up be too much

Steve McClaren</span> - soon to be out of work - Dont rate him myself

Jim Smith</span> - Steady Hand - Been there seen it done it

David Kelly</span> - Served his coaching apprenticeship -ready for the step up?

My Choice would be

Phil Thompson - Did a fantastic job when Houllier had his heart attack - doesn't suffer fools - Won everything as a player and a lot as an assistant manager</span>

I would favour Steve Cotterill or Mike Newell. Martin Allen would bring passion but not sure he has enough experience to cope with the hothouse atmosphere at Molineux. Burley would have been my favourite but out of the picture now. After so many duds you wonder whether anyone can turn this club round.


Baxter might be useful as a Director of Football who could sort out a proper scouting system perhaps.

Kevin Keegan i would like to see given a crack of the whip, but i think if they wanted K.K he would of been manager before now.


yes he would need money to spend, but isnt he a Wolves fan?

Jim Bowen
04-02-2006, 21:33
A lot of people will probably laugh at the Keegan suggestion, but I'd love to see him here. Mainly due to the fact that I've witnessed the most boring football since I started going to Wolves.

We desperatly need someone to put the excitement back into going to see Wolves! I want to wake up on match day excited about going to the game, not dreading it!

ProudWolf
04-02-2006, 21:45
In the following order i'd like:


Billy Davies, Kevin Keegan, Paul Ince, Mike Newell.


Other possibilities: Phil Parkinson, Steve Tilson, Stuart Baxter

Metro Wolf
04-02-2006, 21:48
Why do we seem to want managers on the way down ?


We need a manager on the way up - Peter Taylor, Martin Allen, Paul Ince etc


Similarly we seem to want to sign players who have seen better days.


Don't invest in the past. We really need to lose this "big name" baggage - I thinkthere is a deep rooted insecurity at this club that we want to sign players and managers who have succeeded elsewhere to reassure us that Wolves are a big club. THIS IS WRONG.


Dave Jones - responsible himself for signing elderley players - recognised some of the "historical baggage" in his recent article - let's celebrate the past but not live in it.


Signing an unknown from WBA to play centre forward seemed to work a few years ago.Edited by: Metro Wolf

Ginger Chimp
04-02-2006, 21:49
Does the manager put the excitement back into the team or ... here's a thought ... is it down to the players? I am not (never have been) a fan of Hoddle but how much of this inspid season is down to him, how much is down to the fact that we still have O'Connor and Gray involved and how much is down to overpaid playing staff with little or no self motivation to improve themselves and test themselves against better opposition?

Just changing the manager is a street we have been down before. What's really needed is a root and branch review with a strategic focus on where the club wants to be in several years time - several years NOT next season.

One of the mistakes we made (which I believe we are paying for) is failing to encourage Dave Jones to build a team for the future.

What we need are strategic leaders, committed football professionals and a squad of talented, hungry youngsters looking to prove themselves on the larger stage.

What we've got is a manager who thinks he knows it all, a squad who are past their best (and their best was never as good as they thought it was), a Chairman and President who have more important things in their lives and a CEO who does not have the unqualified respect of the fans - that must mean that he's doing some things that not everyone agrees with ... if his actions have a strategic focus then it would be beneficial for him to share them with the fans - the stakeholders in this club (stake not share!!!)

Replacing Hoddle with Joe Nextmanager is not necessarily the right move ... just the easiest one.

Well we ain't going up so we need a cheaper option than 500k per year Hod.


Allen went to Brentford and they were heading towards Lg2. On next to nothing he has turned them around. Had 2 superb FA Cup runs and been in the running promotion all season. In other words.......a young hungry manager.


Why would he come to Wolves?? $$$$$$$ knows but it wouldn't hurt to ask him.

So no experience at this level and he's at a club where he's doing well.

Deutsch Wolf
04-02-2006, 22:26
Brentford play some attractive, attacking football, have a team packed with youngsters picked up for next to nothing, and both they and Allen show plenty of passion. That's a good enough advert for me.

Well experience at this level has helped us a load hasn't it. Yes his club is doing well but they are skint. The sale of DJ Campbell will make only a small dent into their debts.

danhlibertine
04-02-2006, 22:28
My shortlist would be:


Phil Parkinson (Colchester)
Ian Dowie
Peter Taylor
Martin Allen
Paul Simpson (Carlisle


I also like the Phil Thompson idea someone suggested, perhaps having him as a number 2 to someone like Ince.


Also what about Jim Smith? I know he's knocking on a bit but what about him as a number 2 to a younger manager?

The Punisher
04-02-2006, 22:30
IMAB what experience had the current Watford manager Boothroyd got at this level before this season started? Look where they are now!


We need young fresh ideas and passion. Anyone of Parkinson , Allen or Mowbray would do a job. If not any of these then give Ince the job until the end of the season.

Bevan
04-02-2006, 22:48
Young hungry option - Mike Newell, Billy Davies or Adie Boothroyd


Flashy, high priced option - Kevin Keegan


Unknown quantity - Stuart Baxter


Would be happy with any of these. But if I had to choose one.....


Mike Newell

Glenn had no experience at this level (when not playing), Colin Lee had none, Had Taylor had much?


DJ got us promoted, and had managed at this level. He knew what was needed in this league.

Wasn't Jez one of the few football(I use the term loosely)people to sympathise with Newell's recent crusade against bungs? So, just what we need then, another manager withbaggage or a chip on his shoulder &amp; a pariah in the game?

04-02-2006, 23:16
i would like to see somebody like baxter in as a director of football, but i`m not sure if he would see himself in that role,he may prefer day to day management with the players. My choice is still Keith Downing, although i would be happy to see him back here as assistant with somebody.

Hoddle is not working. He is the epitome of the manager who has no experience at this level, fancy dan, tries to be too clever, big wages.


We need a change.


Young, hungry,experience at lower league level, knows what is required to get out of this league, fresh ideas, passion, empathetic with the supporters (rather than above them, as Hoddle seems to think he is).


Newell is ideal, but like I say, Boothroyd or Davies would be good too.

Lets think outside of the UK!


John De Wolf is in management in Holland - he was an amazing player and a firm Wolves favourite!


No idea if he is any good as a manager, but he still loves us and was interviewed on Wolves World in 2005.


De Wolfand Bully - Could be a nice package deal!


Anyone got any info on De Wolf and his life after Wolves? - I can't easily find anything online!

Phil Parkinson definitely should be looked at. Also Dave Penney and Kenny Jackett have done good jobs. I agree though with the idea of young and hungry wanting to prove something. Someone who can motivate and is not afraid to take chances and maybe bring the youngsters on.

what we dont want is someone with fancy dan ideas. i reckon all of us would be happy with a 442 formation, 2 battlers in c midfield, 2 wingers, cort and franky up front, our back 4 and keeper should be ok.


does anyone know what formation davies/allen/parkinson etc play?


ill nail my colours to the mast of peter reid(i seem to mention him in every post these days) no compensation to pay another club, was a battler and has experience of getting out of this division and is available now.

The appointment of Hoddle came out of left field. I don't recall any great groundswell of opinion either on MM or among other supporters making him the leading candidate. Once he was installed however, people tried to look on the bright side of life &amp; rationalise &amp; accentuate the positive etc etc. But enough is enough. My own personal choice at the time would have been Gregory &amp; Bully, but I admit this found little support on MM.

Wolves are playing some of the most boring football ever.



BUT, I dont get it, because at the end of last season and the beginning
of this season (first goal v cystal palace) we were playing some of the
best passing, attacking football I have ever seen. Is this down to
hoddle, or is it another factor. I dont see how a manager can go from
excellent entertaining football (which it was, although not always 100%
effective, as v crystal palace showed) to absolutely suicide inducing
boredom?

Keegan is a definite no for me. yes he plays attacking football and all that, but he spent millions to get Man City out of this league, and we want someone wholl improve the fitness of our players - a lot of city players complained that their training was poor and they only did 4 sessions a week. I just think the guy is past his best.

He'd soon get rid of any wasters like he did with Kennedy as soon as he started at Man City. His teams play exciting, attacking footballwith a high tempo and he installs a lot of passion into his players.His stylehas been more than good enoughto get his teams out ofthis division.


Lack of organisation is hisdownfall but this has only been found out when he's in the premier league, though it must be said he's kept every team in the division without much of a struggle.


I'm not sure how much he spent to get promotion but i do recall shrewd purchases such as Benarbia, Berkovic,Niclas Jensenand Stuart Pearce at the end of his career. Man City were a pleasure to watch that season.

Any new appointment involves risk - goodness knows we've had enoughfailed ones at Wolves, so we should know - but the high energy and wide experience that Paul Ince would bring (along with his own new coaching team)earns him my vote.


Martin Allen or Mike Newell has too much of the McGhee feel to it for me, and I've had enough of former high profile managers.

jrpb-3
05-02-2006, 16:48
Interesting the Mike Newell's name is being mentioned a lot


I remember putting his name forward as a suggestion before we appointed Hoddle, there wan't much interest then.


I think if Hoddle does go we need to be looking at people like him. In recent seasons many teams coming up from League one seem to have done pretty well in the championship, mainly managed by up anf coming managers rather than big name managers who may be past it

Swindon Wolf
05-02-2006, 17:17
I would like a young and up and coming manager:Martin Allen,Mike Newell,Phil Parkinson etc.But the club needs to get realistic and take a long term view.Short term thinking is the main reason for most of the problems here (IMO) and all managers plus most fansget sucked into this.Give a manager 3 years and let him build slowly.They should have done this with Hoddle of course.Is it still too late??

Bevan
05-02-2006, 17:32
I think we all know deep down that if Hoddle is sacked then we will keep both Gray and Connor on the coaching staff and even when we appoint someone new Moxey will stipulate that he has to work with the existing management structure.


For once, please, clear out the ENTIRE coaching staff and let us have a fresh think.


It's like Sven going and installing McClaren - tarred with the same brush and more than likely going to insist on playing very similar stuff to what the original manager did.

We need someone with the ability to get us out of this division because they know what it is about. DJ did it and he is doing it again for Cardiff. Newell is a possible but i guess he will be at Leicester soon. Martin Allen is a good shout. what we don't want is another big name manager - they have got us no where. What we need is someone to clear out the dead wood on the playing side and get us moving forward not backwards as we seem to be at present.

06-02-2006, 08:42
Mike Newell must be Moxeys dream manager. No agent willever do business with Newell again, and thus gives Moxey the perfect excuse for no transfer dealings. Match made in heaven.

IMHO Wolves will go for someone like Baxter, and they will have to work with the squad they already including the youth teamhave and some free transfers.


I agree with another post regarding no point getting in a new manager while kepping the same coaching staff, surely new managers hsould beable to bring in their own staff to work with.

Even thou i would like Keegan given a chance like ive said previously, i dont think Wolves will appoint a high profile manager due to there being no funds available next season due to the no parachute money.


IMHO Wolves will go for someone like Baxter, and they will have to work with the squad they already including the youth teamhave and some free transfers.


I agree with another post regarding no point getting in a new manager while kepping the same coaching staff, surely new managers hsould beable to bring in their own staff to work with.

Totally agree, we won't have a profile manager in next time, we can't afford it, but we have to gut the whole coaching staff.

I have questioned for quite a while now what they do in training, as our ability to defend and use set pieces to our advantage are a joke!

The only viable choice is Joseph Yobo in a player manager role.

Another thought. What about Mowbray and Venus from Hibs?








Tony Mowbray would be a good choice, but whoever comes in we must all realise that next season will be one of rebuilding the squad and of clearing out many of the backroom staff (I hope).

Have to agree, the only way a change of manager will work successfully is if most of the backroom staff are executed. Sorry I mean given their P45's.

I for one would quite happily accept a couple of seasons of rebuilding as long as we ship out the majority of the current wasters and replace them with young hungry players and a young hungry manager in the mould of Parkinson , Mowbray, Allen or possibly Ince.

Just out of interest, should anyone else go?


Ie: the fitness coach Glenn bought in, Bobby Mimms etc?

How about Paul Simpson? If not, maybe DJ Campbell as player manager with Carl Asaba Assistant?<?:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><O:P></O:P>Edited by: Bill McCai

I think the fitness of some players has improved, i.e. Miller and Naylor. Not sure anout Mimms either. He's had 2 years to teach Oakes how to a, shout and b, catch and hasn't managed either...

Exactly.


I think bringing back Bonetti might be better.

Yep.. that shot against Bradford... but I meant that Derby are supposedly interested in taking him to Pride Park.

Before we got Hoddle, Moxey was saying we needed someone with gravitas and international experience - what about Jack Straw?
