Gary O’Neil

[tonto]

It was a Big Mistake.

Already ****ed?

 

[TheConcourse]

It will depend on results won't it.

But personally I'd like to see him maybe given to about Xmas at a minimum and if we're seeing no signs of improvement and we're in the relegation mix then review our options.

However, if we lose x number of matches in a row the pressure will obviously build.

It’s going to be a lot more challenging getting a manager in when we’re 20 games in and stuck in a dogfight with broken spirits.

Sorry John, you seem like a good bloke, but I’m utterly bewildered as to why Wolves would give him anything beyond City/Villa. Even then, based on what I watched yesterday, this season and his prior track record, that’s 9 games too long.

 

[goldeneyed]

I feel sorry for O.Neill up to a point. If we had got a draw at Man U and won at Luton and not been cheated by VAR etc people here would be a lot more relaxed and open to giving GON a chance. Having said that, a Premier League club needs a manager of deep experience and a proven track record. O'Neill should be managing a Championship or Div 1 team as part of his learning curve as a manager. He will do his best and give his all but the players have to respond and the better results have to start appearing sooner rather than later. Otherwise 2024 will see a new manager given a chance and another desperate panic to try and scramble out of the relegation places.

I have seen posted a couple of time gon hasn't moved to the area and still lives in Kent?

How much truth is in that statement?

Suspect he knows better than anyone that he is a temporary appointment, for whatever reason, totally out of his depth, so why move?

Hopefully quite true so it'll be easier to boot him.

Frankly, he should be gone already.

 

[Bryce]

I would’ve very surprised if he got the boot at all before Xmas
1 he was a budget choice and deliberately hired for that reason
2 Who would consider coming here knowing our cost cutting position?
3.we will have played 5 of the top 10 and 2 of the bottom 5 after next week. We drew and won against teams around us and were mugged off against Man United and unlucky against Liverpool.

Yesterday’s performance was rank but it was a hard fought point with 10 men

I still think Sasa up top with Neto and Heang wide, Cunha behind in a 4231 would work much better

Fosun will have to rethink their attitude when we’re staring at relegation just like they had to do last season.

I certainly hope not, as that would hint at less than 100% commitment to the cause from GON. Lop had moved into his house in Tettenhall before Christmas and before his first match (albeit he had more prep time owing to the Winter World Cup), and right away he looking to absorb as much of the DNA and history of Wolves as he could. That eagerness to integrate probably played a role in our excellent start under JL, only losing once in his first 7 matches. It's more difficult to hit the ground running if you're not integrated into the community and are commuting from afar IMO. Kent to Wolverhampton and back is a brutal round trip, it must take its toll.

 

[Fenrir_]

Looking at the fixtures I'd give him up to the Spurs home game, which is six more. After that up until the New Year we have quite a few more winnable fixtures and I'd rather give those to a new coach with fresh impetus and ideas (like Palace did when replacing Vieira with Hodgson) rather than someone potentially trying to hang on to his job. For me, we need to be clear of the bottom three and on at least a point a game by then for him to remain in his position

If a decent manager became available and was interested, I'd be getting them in sooner

 

[Flaneur]

Considering our financial worries, who on earth thought it would be a good idea to give GoN a 3-year deal?

We've just had to pay out a good chunk of Lopetegui's contract, and could be having to do the same in the near future with GoN at this rate.

 

[Perton Wolf]

Fosun will have to rethink their attitude when we’re staring at relegation just like they had to do last season.

If money magically becomes available in January after not backing Lop in the summer then it will sum up just how badly lacking we are when it comes to a long term plan.

Why don't FOSUN sell if they no longer have interest in investing, makes no sense to keep hold of an asset that can only depreciate in value from this point.

Chelsea are the worst run club in the league but we're certainly up there. Can't think of any worse.

 

[oldgoldheart]

I don't see what he's trying to do. That first half especially was simply appalling, even before the red card. It's blatantly obvious this isn't going to work

nathan judah summed it up on the video. clueless, constantly changing, players unsure where to play, notes being passed round. laughing stock

100% agree. we will be on 4 points from 9 games almost certainly. so we have a 29 game season to get another 34 points. the only positive is none of the promoted sides have won yet. but they will eventually, or at least one of them will.

From a Europa league quarter final to hoping there’s three team worse. Disgraceful and heads should roll.

did you go? the MOTD highlights dont show the extent of Lutons dominance. defensively we were a shambles and rode our luck. it could have been 2 or even 4 by half time. they played us off the park. there is no structure, no plan and no confidence. god i long for the much maligned Coady next to Boly and Saiss. all the moaners gor their wish, same with slow Neves and crap Moutinho but compared to what i saw yesterday they were rolls royces compared to trabants on show at luton

 

[oldgoldheart]

But the temperature on here isnt what its like in the ground

it was the same yesterday. people supported the team but there was a lot of the same comments around me

Would Conte come here? Or could we afford him?

Jesse Marsch?
Celades?

Hansi Flick we can dream he would transform us

 

[Westbakejazz]

Good, hungry young manager.

Stopped the mini rot today and now we've got two premier league games against top half teams where the pressure will be more on them than us.

We have good players - it was always likely to take a bit of time for GON to get the maximum out of them. He will in time.

Hi John I’m struggling with your post, are you taking the p*** out of Gon , or do you genuinely believe in him.

 

[Westbakejazz]

Can you blame him, I personally think he will be gone after villa

 

[arctic rime]

He's on borrowed time in my view

 

[oldgoldheart]

on transfers we always have an ITK or two. does anyone have even a sniff that GON is under pressure?

 

[bod101]

Is he still here?

 

[Vtrpres]

Who would come to Molineux to take on Wolves no hopers?
Alladice, Warnock? My God! What a state to get to.
There is no fire or fight in this club. Oh! No positive leadership either. Be a good bet to say Sheffield U will take points against Wolves.

 

[Agent Cooper]

As much as I'd love him gone, realistically he'll get a few more games (the powers that be should be working on the contingency plan to replace him in the meantime though). He won't get anywhere near JL's home record of last season, so the next two away games against Sheff U and Bournemouth are massive 6 pointers.

 

[NavyWolf]

Surely theres no way hes commuting that everyday?! He's gotta be staying up in Wolverhampton and maybe going home on a Saturday eve?

 

[oldgolded]

I did notice the difference in the body language between the two managers as they came out onto the pitch on Saturday. Edwards was striding out confidently and purposefully, whereas Gary was slouching out with his hands in his pockets and his shoulders hunched. He is beginning to acquire that haunted look that I have observed in many Wolves managers over the years once they have been here for a while.

 

[WickedWolfie]

Short goal kicks, 1-2, then lump it

Why?????? Now We're sat deep with no upside.

Is it because we saw other teams do it.

Luton got rid of Saunders. Are they going to get rid of O'Neil?

Re your penultimate sentence l assume that you mean Solbakken not Clownders. The latter completed getting us relegated that season...

 

[WickedWolfie]

Would you take carlos corberan over Gon?

Yes, without a doubt.

 

[WickedWolfie]

I'm genuinely conflicted.

Is he Lage levels or Saunders?

He may geniunely be the latter.

Re your last sentence l fear that he's actually worse.

 

[WickedWolfie]

He'll be gone after the Villa game.

Too late

 

[WickedWolfie]

City will get about 6

Only 6? I fear Pep will try to set a new PL record....

 

[WickedWolfie]

4 points out of 9 in the bottom half mini league we are playing in. It's not good to watch, but if it keeps us up and gives time to build around the young squad it's enough.

Except you know very well that any youngsters who look good will promptly be sold.

 

[WickedWolfie]

Hobbs seems to insist on an English manager for some daft reason. Rob Edwards it is.

Well, if you go on his playing nationality as opposed to place of birth, Edwards doesn't qualify...

 

[WickedWolfie]

Rubbish. Look at the Rennes and Man Utd games. The players were fitter than they'd been in ages. It's GON and his PE staff who have done this.

Methinks that you missed the peetake based on GON's words of "wisdom".... PMSL re the last bit.

 

[WickedWolfie]

A better manager (Lopetegui) did get a better tune out of them. Sure we've sold players since then, but only Neves was a proper starter.

In all honesty, I lie the blame squarely at Matt Hobbs for this. He seems to get a lot of praise, but I'm not sure what for. This is the same man who wanted Michael Beale and allegedly had full control over the appointment of GON. His insistence on a young English manager instantly makes our talent pool massively smaller. I couldn't care less what nationality they are, as long as they can di the job well. I have no doubt that if we sack GON soon, Rob Edwards will be the replacement. Either way, we are screwed.

Re your first para also Nunes.

Yeah very tempted not to watch because I know it’ll put us in a foul mood
