Graham Potter anyone?

[R1ch]

He won't come here now, should have been the first guy they contacted after JLo left

 

[Westbakejazz]

How did you come to that conclusion from what I said? Please enlighten me

You” pointless thread. So do we just bury our heads in the sand. Or talk about it. Looks like you just want to shut down a question

I “shut it down” because it’s clearly not going to happen. Most would probably want Potter but we’re not going to sack O’Neil and appoint him when we didn’t appoint him when we had the vacancy.

 

[slaphead_wolf]

We were saved last season because our owners managed to lie to Lopetegui to convince him to come, we wont be able to use that little trick again sadly. We are completely and utterly ****ed.

 

[StaffordWolf]

After calming down a bit I think we've got to give O'Neil at least 10 - 15 games to see if he can get the team playing cohesive football. If we're still all over the place after 15 games then Hobbs needs to be given some of that left over Nunes money to bring in a decent manager and backroom staff.

 

[JohnB]

Not going to happen for 10 games. Close thread and then we consider again.

 

[mac tíre]

Brian potter would be better than what we have now.

Sweet Baby Jesus and the Orphans!

 

[WickedWolfie]

It's Big Sam time. It's that dire

Can you imagine Fat Sam putting up with Mr Shi? No chance.

By between a third and half of the season we could easily be dead and buried.

 

[Mile End Wanderer]

Best we could do now prob big sam or Hassenhuttl

 

[Lisas Husband]

Potter leaves Brighton for Chelsea as the medias new love child. Supposedly brilliant and Brighton bring in a relative unknown who makes Potters Brighton look bloody good.

Potters teams are awful to watch and with his Chelsea experience I fear he's forgotten how to win.

 

[Brixton Wanderer]

Can only see us upgrading our manager when we upgrade on our ownership.

It’s wishful thinking that GON is temporary/a stop-gap, why give a three year deal if that was the case.

We’re at best treading water.

And he’d still be a upgrade on GON

I can't imagine him paying the money. Especially with O'Neils contract

Hopefully his contract has a break clause for achievement etc.

 

[The Wolf In The North]

Short of losing just about every match between now and Christmas, probably not even then, there's no way O'Neil is going anywhere. The club gave him a three year contract, they've chosen their hill to die on. And he only has one job, not get relegated; that's all Fosun want as they navigate current waters until they can sell, and they'll be reassuring themselves everything's fine until a point comes where it mathematically isn't. This is where we are.

And obviously O'Neil would never rock the boat as Lopetegui or Nuno or even Lage did. He's like a character from a Tales Of The Unexpected short story, a down on his luck bloke who saves a billionaire from drowning in a lake and suddenly finds himself rich beyond his wildest dreams as a reward. There is no way in seven hells he should be coaching at this club, but because of bizarre circumstances, and because a concrete cork has been hammered into the finances, he is. Again, this is where we are.

We won't be appointing Potter or Allardyce or anyone else. If we find ourselves four points off safety on 25th December, we're probably screwed, because Santa won't be delivering a truculent Spaniard down the chimney this year. It's O'Neil all the way.

 

[Timberrrr]

What about lopetugi?he's out of work ar the moment

 

[Wolf 82]

If Potter was interested, we would have gone for him.. no one would pick O’Neil over Potter in our position.

So I can’t help but think it’s a redundant question.

 

[Perton Wolf]

Not a chance he comes to work for these clowns.

And this is the crux of the issue, there's a reason we ended up with an unambitious appointment like GON.....because nobody with a decent rep would want such a job.

FOSUN are finished as serious PL owners, the sooner they sell up and **** off, the better for us.

“Tales from the unexpected”

Superb analogy Sir!!

 

[Lisas Husband]

And he’d still be a upgrade on GON

If he came I agree. But I doubt he would. By some accounts our name 'inside' football is not very good.

 

[ombyman]

No, he would need a summer to prepare. Doubt he would come to us anyway

To be fair, GON hasn't had a summer to prepare

 

[Oh When the Wolves]

When will people get it?

We won’t attract a good manager until fosun are gone

 

[Wolf316]

To be fair, GON hasn't had a summer to prepare

By the looks of things that’s a blessing.

 

[Will Wolf]

To be fair, GON hasn't had a summer to prepare

He hasn’t.
Still don’t thInk GON is experienced enough for us though.

 

[goldfish]

I'd have taken Potter over Lopetegui, but his next job will be Villa/Newcastle/Rangers. Or Brighton again if De Zerbi goes somewhere bigger.

 

[Perton Wolf]

When will people get it?

Too many still holding onto the past.

FOSUN should **** off and sell up before their investment plummets in price though relegation. Do us both a favour.

 

[oldgoldheart]

Brian potter would be better than what we have now.

Harry potter too

Great post. Spot on sadly

Harry potter too

And Pansy.

No way?! Why would that be? After selling loads of players, ****ing off a proper manager, appointing a chancer and with no money to spend. Not forgetting the autocratic gnome who runs the show. What could possibly put people off? Lol

 

[wolfslair]

Big Sam is too big a character, with too much knowledge for Jeff.

Big Sam would be too close to JL in regards to him being able to get the story to the media and people across the game would listen.

The depressing truth, unfortunately.

Relegation is inevitable under FOSUN now, the question is when.

 

[Alex Rae The Substitute]

No way Potter would come to Wolves.

We are swimming in the Gary O’Neil lane.

 

[KBWWFC]

Unfortunately with all the bad press. Lops slating and the club being an absolute mess no one in their right mind would manage us at the moment.

That’s why we have Gary.

Yes it's all Lopetegui's fault and Comrade Jeff is faultless.

 

[Westbakejazz]

I “shut it down” because it’s clearly not going to happen. Most would probably want Potter but we’re not going to sack O’Neil and appoint him when we didn’t appoint him when we had the vacancy.

So we’re languishing around the bottom at Christmas. What do we do. Keep him = suicide.

 

[wwbug]

You get the manager you deserve.

Our plans, our infrastructure - gets O'Neil and no more.

 

[Royal wolf]

So we’re languishing around the bottom at Christmas. What do we do. Keep him = suicide.

I’m not saying I disagree with you, I’m just saying Potter won’t be coming

[Rangiora Wolf]

Unfortunately I think you're right. I just cant see a way out this time. The team and coach are weaker, spending has virtually dried up, fosun have lost interest and we havent got a JL to help us grind out results. A takeover might give us a glimmer of hope but only if it happens soon
