Can’t afford the stool.We might as well go down swinging with Bielsa.

Feels like a game of long-standing poker for a few weeks IMO.What exactly has happened between Saturday and now???
Also add the extra potential 10-25 mins each game, now bigger squad needed more than ever, another rule change to suit the top 6.And it's the same squad depth that caught us out last season.
"We'll be fine when the injuries come back" and we lose the best part of half a season waiting to become competitive again.
We never learn.
Wouldn’t most be in favour of a lock on the toilet door?Well I worked for Caterpillar years ago and they decided to put locks on the toilets and we were advised to go to the media and when management found out the locks came down quicker than a prostitutes knickers so while you might be like that doesn't mean everyone else is.
I thought Hobbs had a bit more about him to go for O Neil
That is how it reads unfortunately. It’s a wait and see moment for me. Hopefully he takes training as expected and the noise settles down.
Well, it's 11/30. JL must be at Compton by now.
Even the most incompetent **** - that's you by the way, Jeff - must see that this needs resolving one way or the other by the end of today. The fans, the players and the club staff are entitled to a decision.
If that’s the case why are we looking at the cheapest of cheap managers?Yeah.. and I think this is where it falls down for me.
Fosun aren’t stupid. If it really only took 20mill investment to keep JL happy, they would do it. The costs of not doing it, are too large.
It’s becoming clear to me JL never really wanted the job and doesn’t want to be here. He’s using the media to engineer his story, because he already has a reputation for being a snake, so wants to lay blame elsewhere.
He wasn’t at the two friendles. Hobbs was sat on his own.Can’t see Jeff attending another game after Brighton with the abuse he will get
Currently booking a room at the MountWhat’s O’Neil up to?
No it's not, is your head in the sand. We literally have one of, if not the most reliable journalist on Wolves saying that we are not buying them players.It's pretty much a certainty that we will still bring in Elvedi or someone similar as 3rd/4th choice CB.
We may even get Scott - who knows. I would be astounded if we don't make any signings at all, but I don't think it would be the disaster we all think it would.
Whether that is enough for JL is the question that nobody knows the answer to
He’s in China allegedlyHe wasn’t at the two friendles. Hobbs was sat on his own.
Hah, If Jeff/Fosun left then we might see him back.Bring back Nuno!
Not from the outside which meant you had to find your supervisor to get the keyWouldn’t most be in favour of a lock on the toilet door?
Can he stay there?He’s in China allegedly
Two points:Why does it need resolving by the end of today?
Because some bloke called Bacon Sandwich on a forum said so? Go and cover yourself in brown sauce to cool yourself down.

He's actually on holiday in Vale do Lobo, Portugal. He was on a table next to my friend yesterday, but it was before all this news broke!!Currently booking a room at the Mount
Is this right? Sellars was still Sporting Director at the time, although he was rapidly replaced once Lopetegui got through the door and started removing the incompetent ones (well most of them!)Beale was Hobbs recommendation. Who else other than O’Neil is there that wouldn’t cost much and wouldn’t whinge about lack of signings?

Two points:
1. If you can't see why it needs resolving today then you need to increase your medication
2. Brown sauce on a bacon sandwich is the devil's work
If Gary O’Neill takes over, Jeff has to go out the door with Julen. Desperate choice.If that’s the case why are we looking at the cheapest of cheap managers?
O'Neil would get the support of the fans if he comes, it wouldn't be personal against the bloke.Gary O'Neil wouldn't be a personal choice but why all the bodering on hatred of him?
He took 39 points from 36 games last season, and had to work with the squad he inherited from the off until January with no time to implement a style of play and morale at rock bottom. Before he was appointed they lost their previous game 9-0 and on paper had the worst squad in the league, he did an incredible job to keep them up and was very harshly sacked.
Lopetegui got 35 from 27 games so a very slightly higher ppg but had the benefit of a month working with the players before taking his first game and then a fairly productive transfer window right after where we spent a decent chunk of money, and already we had a better squad than Bournemouth.
To be honest I am tired of the Lopetegui soap opera crying to his chum Balague and the media and the threats of walking out. Doing so as close to the start of the season and with another 3 weeks still to run in the transfer window doesn't smack of any loyalty to the club and just protecting his own reputation. We could do with a couple more no doubt but after what he got to spend in January the first 11 is ok and only Neves has left who would have been a starter.
But do we know Beale was his recommendation?Hobbs was part of the recruitment team at the time

Yes they were on the outside and I'm sure they were some perverts (not me obviously ) but I was just using it as an example of how powerful using the media can be.I'm assuming the locks were to prevent you going to the toilet, rather than you all being perverts?
If Wolves were violating Lopetegui's human or employment rights, I'd have no problem with him going public. That isn't the case here though.
Finally some sense on this thread.I don’t wish to be argumentative but, only sauce to go on a bacon sandwich is daddies brown sauce
Are you sure he get the support!? 3 games in, watching turgid football and the anger will be directed at all.O'Neil would get the support of the fans if he comes, it wouldn't be personal against the bloke.
But any problems on the pitch would be vented completely at Fosun and Shi.
Wolves have a very tricky start this season, regardless of the manager. And Shi has a target on his back for many.
It’s like a car crash being played in slow-motion. Everyone can see what’s coming.Are you sure he get the support!? 3 games in, watching turgid football and the anger will be directed at all.
Was reported by Percy or Phillips someone reliableBut do we know Beale was his recommendation?
I dont see much hate toward O'Neiil here. In fact I think most including myself have sympathy for the guy.Gary O'Neil wouldn't be a personal choice but why all the bodering on hatred of him?

And Bournemouth fans hated his style.I dont see much hate toward O'Neiil here. In fact I think most including myself have sympathy for the guy.
But you cant honestly think that what he did at Bournemouth qualifies him for the job at Wolves? 39 points from 36 games isnt exactly a major achievement
And with regards to working with the players. He was there already coaching them, when appointed. Its not like they were strangers to him. He knew the squad, their strenghts and weaknesses.
