Alternatives to Gary O'Neill

[WickedWolfie]

BBM Bring Back Mick.

Failing at Blackpool would be ideal training for our current ****-storm.

Being serious, and we might have to pay some compo, but if we are bargain basement shopping we could do worse than Mark Robbins who has done an epic job at Cov.

 

[Frank Lincoln]

Basil Fawlty.

 

[JamesWolves]

Hasenhüttl would be a great appointment aswell which makes things even more of a **** take

 

[Mile End Wanderer]

Big Mick would get us fighting tooth and nail but do we have the players for his and O’Neil style of play? No we don’t

Has to be Hassenhuttl 100%

 

[JadeWolf]

What’s Ken Jackett up to these days?!

 

[SingleMalt]

They've quite recently ****ed up with Saunders, Zenga, Solbakken and the other one, so I can't believe some of the names they may be seriously considering. What a total **** up.

Solbakken and Saunders were hired by Morgan. Mind you they look in good company with Zenga and Lage, similar levels of competence between those four.

 

[Metal Wolf89]

Potter would be the only other name I would look at. From the sounds of things Wolves have already done interviews and are set on Gary.

 

[Alex Rae The Substitute]

If Lopetegui is going and we can’t get Nuno back (we can’t), then I’d actually be ok with Hassenhuttl getting the gig. Certainly not my first pick, but the best from a seemingly uninspiring bunch in my opinion.

Thing is, we all know it’s O’Neil, I can’t see a scenario where if Lopetegui leaves that it’s not O’Neil given the amount of coverage his name is getting, that’s obviously come from somewhere.

There is no way he decides to turn it down, and similarly no chance Shi has a change of heart. O’Neil was the most impressive candidate after all, and Shi knows best… so, the new manager is O’Neil, getting our hopes up over other candidates is sadly pointless.

 

[Dan G WWFC]

Who would you want, within reason, that is currently available? Here is a non-exhaustive list of available managers:

Category A: Not a chance.

• Antonio Conte, Julian Nagelsmann, Zinedine Zidane

Category B: Ambitious, would be very happy with any of these.

• Graham Potter, Christophe Galtier, Joachim Low, Andre Villas-Boas, Marcelo Bielsa, Marcelo Gallardo

Category C: Interesting, but perhaps uninspiring.

• OG Solskjaer, Ruud Van Nistelrooy, Lucien Favre, Rafa Benitez, Patrick Vieira

Category D: Steer well clear.

• Gary O'Neil, Ralph Hassenhuttl, Jesse Marsch, Frank Lampard, Dean Smith, Sam Allardyce, Javi Gracia, Nathan Jones, Gennaro Gattuso, Scott Parker, Carlos Carvalhal, Alex McLeish, Vitor Pereira, Claude Puel, Steve Bruce

everyone above cat D will not take the job. We are shopping in group D. This is the issue

I just already cringe at the idea of the post match interviews, it'll be like Terry Connor all over again!

 

[Dingle Chris]

Dorris the tea lady.

 

[Macman]

Cheri Lunghi please.

We are shopping in Category D because that is now our level of attraction.

 

[Dan G WWFC]

Fans expectations are way too high

I thought the Premier League was supposed to be the greatest league in the world. I'm sure we could do much much better than the Category D type, but that would take planning (something Jeff's not very good at). There will be lots of good managers around who would be prepared to take the job that aren't household names to us, but I can't name them. If we employed Steve Bruce I think I would self combust (and I've just finished 30 minutes of meditation).

 

[rg4352]

Think we are shopping in cat d now, especially with the pay off we’ve probably had to fork out on, so out of those I’d take Hassenhuttl (I’d forgotten he was out there)

 

[Kebab Warrior]

My dog Fudge

A teapot

80s animated dog hero Dogtanian (with Muskerhound backing staff)

A table lamp

 

[Tezthewolvesfan]

Mike Basset

One problem. We can't afford anyone above category D. We are just about to pay off JL and his crew and will probably have to sell another player to finance it. I'm not even sure we can afford Hassenhutl and his merry men, my preference to O'Neil. That's how skint we seem to be. Very depressing.

 

[Chisels_n_ommers]

Can we put Southgate on the list?

(and stick him in the G category)

 

[Houston Lobo]

Whoever Brighton have lined up next.

 

[kidder_wolf_II]

Whoever Brighton have lined up next.

Probably Lopetegui lol

 

[Woburn Wolf]

Potter for me with Ruud as a wild card alternative.

Hassenhuttl is ok.

These managers aren't desperate and know how much of a **** show we are right now. If this was even a semi meh project Lopetegui stays. We've in the situation that teams find themselves in February onwards, in the relegation zone desperate and nobody good is answering the phone

 

[oldgoldheart]

Its oneil whether we like it or not.

 

[Matt]

Potter would be the only other name I would look at. From the sounds of things Wolves have already done interviews and are set on Gary.

If someone had asked you a couple of days ago who'd be your shortlist for a new manager, you would have said Graham Potter and Gary O'Neil?

 

[Boss Hogg]

Paul Ince not on the list? Did a decent job with no money at Reading.

Knows the club and will be cheap so Shi will be happy.

 

[BrierleyHillWolves]

Probably get slated but I'd take big sam

 

[Sedgers]

Just having a bit of fun but if the choice was O'Neil or Mick, who would you go for? Thumbs up for Gary, that love emoji thing for Big Mick.

That's the wrong emoji Padraig. You need to up your emoji game.

 

[The Wolf Of Wombourne]

Walter Zenga, at least it would be interesting.

 

[Wonder Boyo]

Mike Basset

Better than some of the names mentioned, particularly Brucey and Incey!

At least no one has suggested Jesse Marsch.

 

[Axle]

Probably get slated but I'd take big sam

We could do worse.

Oh. Hang on a minute

 

[Mile End Wanderer]

Probably get slated but I'd take big sam

Would keep us up

Wouldn't take Shi's crap

Oh yes they have (perhaps not on this thread)

 

[Rhoswolf]

Agree about Robbins

 

[Hugh Jarse]

Bo Svensson from Mainz

 

[Cookyssweetleftfoot]

Would keep us up

Like he did Leeds

 

[Mile End Wanderer]

Like he did Leeds

4 games hardly a fair craic is it. Leeds was done for when they got rid of JM
