Connor. the real story

[WolvesinBrum]

There's that idea of managers wanting a manager on the pitch.

I guess Conor became that for Nuno till it went sour at the end.

Lage didn't want that and this is how he, Sellars and Shi went about it.

Lage knew Boly and Saiss were still around.

Shabby.

 

[Mugwump]

Still amazes me how much stick Coady got for not being able to play in a back four, but our current skipper gets away pretty lightly for being cut from the same cloth.

 

[North West Wanderer]

You can move someone on, but you should at least be man enough to tell them the reasons why.

especially the club captain

 

[Wolf316]

The treatment of Ruddy was pretty despicable too.

yep. zero class.

 

[Darvo]

Great bloke and a great player for us. Real shame how it ended.

 

[Parkfieldswolf]

Putting aside the argument over whether he should have stayed or gone it was handled very badly by people at the club. I like Conor, he was a fabulous ambassador for the club and integral in its rise from the Championship. I for one would certainly give Conor a very warm welcome should he ever return to Molineux as an opposition player.

Saiss was treated in a similar manner. The podcast that he did, he was less kind with his language.

Really ashamed of the way that they treat good guys who gave their all for wolves.

Think it was previous staff, get the feeling O’Neil and Hobbs are more honourable.

Yes they may be, but ultimately its the club that pays his wages and not the existing manager, and at present the head of our club is Jeff Shi and right back to the dismisal of Kenny Jacket he has said one thing and done another, we have had 2 perods of club harmony between players fans and general feel good factor and both have been manager led nothing obviously from the board room.

On the Connor Coady like all endings they are inevitable, and every member of the current squad will leave within the next 1 - 5 years, but the ending can be carried out with a degree of dignity.

Yes totally. Look at Liverpool - they make difficult decisions but last day of the season they had a proper leaving presentation on the pitch last home game. It's not that difficult. You might have made the harsh decision, there might have been a fallout but can still be dignified and celebratory.

Conor on the Rest Is Football podcast on Friday.
I know Lineker isn't everyone's cup of tea but I quite like him and Shearer.

 

[WickedWolfie]

It would be nigh on impossible to be less so.

 

[JOSWolf]

Would love the likes of Coady, Neves, Moutinho, Boly, Raul, Jota, Saiss to return to watch a game and get a good reception one day.

I might give that a listen. They were full of praise for us the other day on that podcast apparently.

 

[Adrian_Monk]

The treatment of Ruddy was pretty despicable too.

Don't forget Saiss.

I still find it a little odd that supporters forget all this when they get angry with Willy Boly-style situations where the player reciprocates the employee-employer relationship

 

[Greeno]

From the outside, it looks pretty immoral. But not every career move will be a positive one.

He'll know 'the game' better than any one of us and the truth probably lies somewhere in the middle.

I'll have fond memories of his time here and i'm glad Lage/Sellars are no longer at the club.

That's it for me. Done.

 

[Flump]

When you force a player out it's hard to do it in a way that they'll be happy with.

If you just accept an offer (as I think we did with Coady) then they'll say they want to be told. But if Lage/Sellars had gone to Coady at the start of the window and said "we want a 4atb, we don't think you're good in one, so we want to sell you", I'm sure he'd still have complained about it being too quick/brutal/not having any input or having a chance.

 

[SilverstoneWolf]

It can be a very harsh and cruel world (just ask Sasa!) but a club that wants too be well-regarded by players and fans alike should behave with dignity and class. Respect is a two-way street. If you wish to be respected, you must show that respect. Treat players with respect, even when decisions are not what they want to hear. If a player then 'kicks off', the club should be mature enough to rise above it.

 

[wwbug]

Coady did far more for our club than the people who had not got the heart to tell him to leave. Sellars and Lage should hand their heads in shame.

Probably too arrogant for that .

 

[wwbug]

7560 minutes straight and some fans don't appreciate him!

I would hope very few.

Agreed , I believe you can really judge an employer or an employee by the way they act when the employment ends
Particularly respecting the period of notice.

 

[ombyman]

I read something recently where it was Joe Hart saying Nuno treated him poorly at spurs.

 

[SuperGran]

Probably wanted to leave because no one spelt his name properly

 

[SuperGran]

Told him he was crap and that he’d never play for him.

 

[Timberwolf]

Lage deserves to be mentioned in the same conversations as Saunders from an ability perspective.

And looks.

 

[Jawwfc]

7560 minutes straight and some fans don't appreciate him!

Due to break the record but for Covid.... he didn't even have it, it was when you had to isolate if you had been in contact with someone.

I won't ever begrudge Coady will always get a standing ovation from me if he ever does make an appearance at the Molineux again.

 

[Bahama Wolf]

On The Rest is Football episode tomorrow! Should be a great watch!

Should be a great watch !

I enjoyed it but I'm a massive fan of Conor, top bloke and an absolute model pro.
