Welcome Gary

[Premier Quality]

He wouldn’t have been my choice, but if it’s him, I hope he does really well!

Clearly did well at Bournemouth, hugely impressed the instructors when he did his management badges (with Howe and Dyche), used different formations at Bournemouth for different games - they don’t necessarily mean he’s going to be amazing, but hopefully point in the direction of “could do well”

Good luck, bring us success, please don’t buy any over the hill rubbish from West Ham!

 

[The Wolf In The North]

Welcome, Gary O'Neil. If ever there was a free hit, this is it.

Very few have any faith, we're all expecting the worst after a criminal summer of Fosun weirdness and Lopetegui whinginess, but... here we are. And oaks from acorns grow, and all that.

Score some goals, let the talent we have left flourish, try not to get whupped 6-0 against Brighton, and suddenly things will seem brighter. I'd rather have a young coach who wants to be here, with a chance to develop and to learn from his mistakes, than some shoe-polish-faced mercenary **** or a fat bloke who guzzles pork stew or Frank Lampard.

Oh, but you see that geezer in the glasses with the teacup? Do not trust a single word he says.

Good luck!

 

[Bradstonian]

He's never gone into a new dressing room with nobody knowing who he is, and that's exactly what he will get here.

I think that's true with most new signings, but they soon get on. Camaraderie generally looks good from the videos I see coming out of Compton.

 

[Kashmire Hawker]

Many best wishes to Gary and his staff.

He, like a good number of the players at the club, seems humbled to be joining and that can only be a good thing.

He did a decent job to keep Bournemouth up last season and with the quality Young players in our side, I hope he can get the best out of them.

Good luck and welcome to the Pack!

 

[Jericho]

Don’t we need a nickname for him a la lopu?
G O
Gary O
Gaz O
Gary g o’now

What a come down, Europa league winner to tea cup runner up, do your best Gary Oh no, I reckon the plan is to stay up, sable dosh, blood young English players, sell everyone, sell the club, sell the fans down the river.
The team are going to be astounded at the level of training run, chase, run kick

GONorrhea?

 

[WickedWolfie]

GONorrhea?

I predicted that yesterday... GONner is another obvious candidate....

 

[Ned]

I really hope he comes in and doesn’t give off the really disheartening happy to be here vibe that Bruno did.

Just own it, Gary!!

 

[arctic rime]

Just to say you and the players will have my full 100% support from day one. Not Jeff and Fosun though they can go **** themselves.

That’s how I feel and ditto .

 

[SWest Wolf]

I’m as peeved off about appointing GON as anyone on here.

But now we are stuck with him, I’m now hoping he proves us all wrong…..

Welcome

 

[Tezthewolvesfan]

This is depressing...hope he proves us all wrong. Molineux can be a cauldron when the natives are restless......

 

[Hoganstolemywife]

Very inspiring but I'm famously clueless. So he'll probably get us top 4...

 

[Stourport wolf]

Welcome to Wolverhampton Wanderers Gary, a very special football club.

 

[LosgallardosWolf]

Of which league?

Two

Fantastic young coaches!!!! This is a good development!!!

 

[sedgwolf1980]

**** off Gary

 

[NJ Wolves]

Should I make the "Goodbye Gary" thread for his inevitable sacking by Christmas or should I wait a few more weeks?

Someone suggested yesterday that we can just use the existing "Gary O'Neil Sacked" thread

 

[Dan W]

Seeing what Bournemouth fans and some of our fans have said about him. I'm sure he's burning to prove how good he is. He's got a very talented squad to work with whatever JL said about them.
His first team talk will be a very easy one.

He's got my backing. I'm desperate for him to do well as I'm sure we all are. Being it's the club we love.

He's not where our frustrations should be focused.
Welcome to Wolves Gary. Best of luck.

P.S. Gary, Cunha isn't a 9

 

[SellyWolf]

I was quietly hoping that he was a big smokescreen (a la Beale) and it was going to fizzle out and we’d bring in someone with more experience…

Suppose the only option is to get behind him. I don’t fully understand where the ‘overrated for the job at Bournemouth’ thing is coming from. I don’t see how it can be argued that he didn’t do a pretty good job there, with a poorer squad than ours and limited investment (unlike us).

I also want to put a stop to the whole “Lopetegui worked a miracle because Wolves were bottom at Christmas”. In a World Cup season, it was effectively like being bottom in November and most clubs that have been in that position haven’t been able to sign 6x players in January and spend 43 million on a striker who isn’t actually a striker…

A half decent result at United (like a point), some energy, harmony and passion from the players in the next game at home and the fans will be on-side. Good luck to him…

 

[DanishWolf]

Fantastic young coaches!!!! This is a good development!!!

Robson is 54 so calling him young is stretching it a bit...
Could still be a fantastic coach though!

 

[wolfslair]

One positive to Gary…..

He is more likely to play fabio as he can fill that almost Solanke role very well. Clever player who gets busy and stuck in.

 

[wolfslair]

Robson is 54 so calling him young is stretching it a bit...

Hahah sorry meant TJ as young coach lol….

But both are very good still

 

[Kingswood Wolf]

Nope.

 

[CodsallWolf]

Well at least he wants to be here. That counts for a lot at the moment.

 

[O.W.E.I]

Welcome Gary well done for beating off Dean Smith and Frank Lampard.

And that took 3 hours?
They must have real staying power.

 

[Monk]

From some one who has no idea of tactics the only advice I can give you is we don't want any more of this

 

[cannockwolves]

Welcome Gary.

I would love it, just love it, if you were the second coming of Sir Alex - our very own legend.

The next big thing has to start somewhere. He has a 20 year career in the game, he has seen some of the best English mangers up close. I know people take the **** but at their height the the likes of Redknapp and Allardyce were elite English Managers.

Just because he has worked with these guys doesn't mean he is their clone, you take what you think are the good bits and form your own view. I have worked with some right pieces of work over the years - some of them very successful, but you learn from each of them.

This guy is going to be super motivated and we know he is a super hard worker. This is his big chance, if he messes this up he will never get a premier league gig again unless he gets a side promoted.

I think he has a massive up hill challenge, but I really hope he succeeds.

Welcome Gary, and good luck.

 

[DanishWolf]

Sounds great!

 

[Beijing Wolf]

And that took 3 hours?
They must have real staying power.

They have severe friction burns down there now while Gary has lost the use of his hands!

 

[Ginger Chimp]

I don't know enough about him to make an informed opinion. Is the reason the majority are against him due to his lack of experience, poor tactics, poor man management etc?
Or just comparing to the international status of the coach we've just lost?

Experience, I would have thought. Managed about 29 games for one team so cannot have a default style of play and may only have demonstrated limited tactical awareness due to the situation.

 

[Wolf316]

Hahah sorry meant TJ as young coach lol….

But both are very good still

Can you fill us in a bit on them?

 

[Bawtry Wolf]

They’ve officially announced our relegation

 

[DanishWolf]

And that took 3 hours?
They must have real staying power.

I've heard the interview went like this.

First 2 mins:
Gary: "So I'm Frank Lampard"
Hobbs: "You're hired!"

Next 2 hours and 58 minutes
Playing golf...

Happy to see your feeling more positive mate, hope your doing well!

However I must say hearing that he has learned from watching Redknapp and Allardyce has made me feel worse!

[Perton Wolf]

An absolutely laughable appointment, he's got 9 months of managerial experience to his name!

This club is a ****ing ****show.

Boooooooooo. A 3-year deal for a nobody.

#ShiOut

 

[WalsallWolf]

I said yesterday when this news broke it was a disaster. I also said it would be so Wolves 2023 if they gave him a three year contract.

They have made this disaster and gave him a three year contract.

I actually think the club are just trolling us now.

 

[USA Wolf]

Nothin to it but to do it, I suppose

Everyone knows Wolves are going to beat United 3-1 on Monday just because that’s exactly what Wolves would do. The rest is a bitter mystery!

 

[waveney wolf]

Welcome Gary , thanks for helping us out at such short notice , when Lopetegui dropped us in the ****.
Now, you ve got rather a difficult start to the season, so we re not expecting miracles ,,and can you bring Billing with you to play up front ??

 

[Wolf in the sun]

3 years ?!!! trying to remain positive,..3 years of joy...
