If You Were (A) Neutral, How Would You View Wolves This Season?

[Mr Wolf]

The problem is bloody La Liga, the Champions League & a few other things all get more coverage than the Championship these days. You pick up a newspaper & it doesn't get a mention but other leagues will, you listen to a podcast & they'll have a European football specialist rather than mention anything to do with the football league.

It depends who your asking and how much they know about football and how much of an interest they take outside their own club or the PL, I'd stab at the three different levels saying something like this...

If you asked someone who knows a fair bit about football they'll probably say we're dark horses this season and have signed a couple of players who could be very good at this level (Saiss, Cavaliero and Silvio)

If you asked someone who's watch the highlights every week they'll think we'll be pushing for the play offs and that Icelandic bloke and one of our Portuguese chaps look decent.

If you ask someone who doesn't really know much about us you could get anything from we're minted so must have spent a load and will do well right through to those who don't know we've been taken over or that Jacketts gone so they'd be tipping us for a bottom half to mid table finish at best.

I would say theres also plenty of us who know whats been going on that think we'll have a mid table finish at best.

When on holiday to butlins a few weeks back i spoke to numerous fans of other clubs and not one of them knew that we had been taken over.

So you don't think that we'll be better than mid table even if Cavalerio, Saiss and Silvio play to their potential?

I'm not saying the necessary will play to that, but if they do there is little else in this league on the same level as those three in particular.

Believe it or not, over here being so close to Italy, Zenga joining Wolves was the attention grabber. Before that, real football enthusiasts might have heard that the Chinese have taken over. But Zenga joining Wolves is the main thing we're known for now. So yippeeeee!! I won't get as many strange looks when someone asks who I support. Otherwise it's mostly Man U and Liverpool for English Clubs.

I really hope they do prove to be capable at this level mate and that WZ has the ability to gel the team together and is tactically astute enough to succeed. I just still wish they would of got 2/3 more proven Championship performers. The likes of a Bryson Rhodes or Nugent. Many of our British players especially the midfield are simply not good enough to play in a promotion team. I am optomistic they will get it right but maybe not this season.

Best we close this thread now. I apologise for starting it- promise it wasn't to be negative at all.
