Gary O’Neil - Poll

[Fifty Niner]

Wasn’t Nuno’s record before us a bit suspect? There was a decent portion on here who didn’t want him and wanted to keep Lambert. Not saying O’Neill is another Nuno but it’s absurd to write him off as useless after one season where he actually exceeded expectations in his previous job.

Yes but that was the Championship. The PL is far less forgiving.

 

[Ned]

Would prefer Carrick, Schumacher, Potter or Corberan to O’Neil.

Same. It doesn’t seem like they’ve looked particularly far or hard for a potential manager. Bearing in mind that this day has been coming all summer you would have thought somebody on the brain’s trust would have had the sense to plan for it.

 

[MasWolf]

But you prefer O’Neil over noo-noo the sentient vacuum cleaner. I don’t

That one's 50/50 for me to be honest.

 

[Metal Wolf89]

I think some Wolves fans need to get off their high horses, if his name was Gary Rodriguez Jose, who came from a Portuguese league, they would all be ecstatic. Gary did an outstanding job at Bournemouth and had the dirty done to him end of the season. He gets my full support if appointed.

 

[Westbakejazz]

What happens when the Circus goes to the palace and leaves with 3 points?

Because that's what happened last season

You keep believing old pal

 

[Wolf in Kenilworth]

Just a point but Matt Hobbs would surely be involved in the new manager recruitment.

So if it is him sanctioning Gary O ******* Neill then Hobbs needs to go too ASAP.

In fact, wouldn’t it have been him sanctioning Michael ******* Beale?

Hobbs out.

 

[MasWolf]

So I think that it was Liam Keen saying they had been planning over the last few weeks. But isn't that even more scary? They've been planning for weeks and the best we can get is Gary O'Neil.

 

[Fifty Niner]

If Hobbs is impressed enough with Gary O’Neill to have him replace Lopetegui then I would suggest that he’s more of an idiot than you think.

I just can’t get my head around this.

Wasn’t it Hobbs who recommended Beale? It seems Hobbs only knows, or wants, British managers. Which is fine in the Championship or lower leagues which is where we’ll be heading.

 

[Ned]

Easy to criticise

I hate the fact that I got this joke.

This post is wrong.

Gary o Neill barmy army

Good for you. But it’s a no for me. Did you see the stats for Bournemouth last season

 

[Fifty Niner]

Remember, they’d been planning for months for Nuno’s departure and they gave us Bruno. They’d been planning for Bruno’s departure and they could only find Beale. Without Mendes this lot are incapable of looking any further than Championship level.

 

[Wednesbury Wolf]

Barry Fry could still do a job.

 

[SmiffyWolf]

Was a tough choice but in the end voted no

 

[Mardenboroughs Shoulder]

What's Dean Saunders up to?

 

[SmiffyWolf]

Would rather we went after Kompany. At least he’s semi inspiring.

Yep and would at least know some players possibly to get in from Belgium and use Citeh connections for a loan or two if we are skint

 

[DanishWolf]

.Anthony Barry was on that list too.
He's assistent manager at Bayer now, so probably not a complete idiot.
But there's a clear pattern here with Beale, O'Neill and Barry.
Personally dont find it very reassuring, that he seems to prefer people with limited or not managerial experience at all. Dont see many other established PL clubs who'd take such a gigantic chance.

 

[MasWolf]

Barry Fry could still do a job.

Fry as Manager, O'Neil is apprentice. The old Barry and Gary combination.

 

[oldgoldheart]

o neil's entire management experience is 37 matches with a sub 30% win rate. we are barking mad. this will either end with him sacked or us relegated or both. TBH I wish fosun would just sod off. the period 2016-20 was like a dream and this is a nightmare. going to take a long time to get over this. as for booing o'neil - i wont personally but i definitely want Fosun out

Bit of a dream team that is.

You're right. It's actually insane that he is the front runner.

Not so sure. Lage had a bit more experience than O'Neill, and even won a Championship, yet most people here werent excactly excited about him coming. And for good reason. It was a massive gamble, that almost cost us.
Now we repeat it only with an even less experienced manager.

Hello Mr Hobbs!

It's actually quite unbelievable how bad of an appointment he would be, what a joke we've become.

 

[DanishWolf]

But in a bizarre way, I really want to see who's next on the list...
I mean if O'Neill is First, who would be,...4th or 5th choice? Presumably someone none of us ever heard of.

 

[Clifton Wolf]

Julen Lopotegui to Gary O’Neil I’m in total disbelief. If I could send my season tickets back now I would.

 

[greco wolf]

Dean Saunders

From what I have seen on social media, there is a 3 man list of O'Neil, Dean Smith and Frank Lampard. I know, I'm sad about that too.

I just can’t get my head around this.

It's not like he thinks he's a better manager. We're not replacing Lopetegui with anybody close to the same reputation.

You're in the Fat Frank and Smith type of managers right now. He thinks O'Neil who was arguably manager of the season last year for keeping up the worse squad in the league, is a better shout then any of them.

Who do you think we should hire?

 

[WeAreTheWolvesII]

The spin from the journalists when he's appointed is going to be hilarious, but sickening because it's my team.

Guarantee that by Monday they will have enough convinced that 'we should just give him a chance', because he will be viewed as a bright, talented young coach who was unfairly treated at Bournemouth, and he has grand ideas on how to play the game.

Manchester United 4-0 Wolves

Well, we were going to lose this anyway. Doesn't matter, onto Brighton.

Wolves 1-3 Brighton

They're a good side, you know! We'd struggle to beat them with Pep in charge.

Everton 1-0 Wolves

We never beat Dyche. Tough place to go.

We did that with Bruno Lage and it worked well didn't it ?

Dean Smith. I really don't like him and think he's crap, but he's better than O'Neil.

 

[Direwolf]

Bit of a catch22 a new manager appointment this late on. I think with only 5 days or so to go till the start of the season we cannot afford to hang around and get off to a bad unprepared start. But if we rush into a decision and make a bad choice we could end up back where we started.

 

[Oldgold Wolfcub]

**** off

Poetry in motion.

 

[Dan G WWFC]

Dean Smith. I really don't like him and think he's crap, but he's better than O'Neil.

based on what though? Smith is proven to be a bad manager at this level. O'Neil is unknown, did a great job last season. the issue is how he translates that here.

It's more impressive that he kept Bournemouth up than what Lop did last season.

At least it's united away. don't expect anything anyway

 

[Redhillwolf]

This squad is only 2 or 3 off being a comfortable top 10 team and maybe even Europe with the right coach so surely we can attract a better candidate than bleedin O’Neil!!? Lop was on mad wages so surely we can afford to pay somebody a decent salary too to take over?!…

 

[MacTrizzle]

If they appoint o’Neil, Hobbs and shi deserve equal levels of criticism.

One thing is for sure, it is gonna get toxic if we do appoint him.
