Just as a general question, where do you see our present incumbent taking us to ?
Failed miserably?
I’m sure both Spurs and Man Utd have hired managers with less of a pedigree.
Given that some clowns booed Jota.....
For me, his rescue act was better than ‘decent’. That underplays the achievement. Guess, we have a different outlook on this. Hey ho.
Maybe we should check back to the WC break and check, but I'm saying not many people were saying 'don't worry, we'll be mathematically safe with 3 games to spare'.
Not those words exactly but there were quite a few saying that getting just over a point per game to reach what would probably be (and turned out to be) the safety mark wasn't the near impossible task others were making out. Especially when you have a mini pre-season to sort your team out
Maybe, relegation was definitely very much on the line though if I remember rightly. It wasn't a miracle, some astute January signings certainly helped, but he still did a great job of sorting out the mess he inherited. As I keep saying, I don't see why people can't accept that he was sold a plan and (generously) the plan changed and he decided he didn't want to be involved. That's disloyal if you want, but he's not a Wolves fan, he's just a professional doing a job, so why should we expect loyalty? Also one of the problems is that somehow on here respecting Lopetegui has become synonymous with disliking O'Neil when to like them both simultaneously turns out to be perfectly possible.
Obviously he did a great job keeping us up, but it was a tad disappointing the way he left.
I like them both, I don't agree with JLs decision but I understand why he did it, I also don't really blame Fosun either tbh, a lot of people seem to have a desire to be angry with JL or FOSUN or GON, it's a bit weird, I'm enjoying watching Wolves again and have done since JL came in tbh. he laid a good foundation and GON is building on it IMO!
Yes. Winning of farmer's leagues aside, did ten Hag and Postecoglu have better pedigree than Lopetegui (who has a won a major European trophy) when they were appointed at United and Spurs respectively? He absolutely is in the conversation if that's the standard, if for no other reason than those clubs have declined in expectation in recent years.
I think some people, especially people who don't know their footballing history, underestimate the size of our club, yes we're a long way off the top 7 now financially, but we're still a massive club.
Savilla wasn't a failure.
Not confident anyone would succeed at Man U to be fair, they've had 6 goes since SAF and I don't think you could call any of them a success, the problems are deeper.
I just have made it my role to try to correct this Frank as it's stated very regularly on here. He resigned over two weeks before the start of the season (obviously still not ideal!) he just stayed on to do the club a favour in preparing the team for the season until the new manager was found.
I feel the same, I tried to ignore the chatter for the month or so before his departure, but the manner of him leaving reminded me of Hoddle, who I find despicable. Even to this day, I can't stand the sight and sound of him pontificating on tv.
Yup, lots of rewriting of history since the close season happenings....
Not deep enough..... Mariana Trench maybe....
Absolutely ****ing bang on.
You should try reading lol
Those clubs aren't Man Utd or Spurs.
Aren't we a big (or whatever word you used) club?
I was clearly talking about Real Madrid. We don't compare to Man Utd.
Wolves aren't the minnows you think they are either, its not been that long ago that Wolves were arguably bigger than Man Utd,
Did they?….really?
”not that long ago”……..only about half a century.
So would you agree that Nuno failed miserably at Spurs?
Couldn't give a rat's ass about the calibre of the man, he isn't my mate. People in leadership positions are often total dicks. Fans hoping for a manager who is both top quality and Wolves through and through, were rather spoiled by the great Nuno. People like him are extremely rare.
That just isn't true. I work with exec director level people and the vast majority are great people.
I've seen a few posts citing anecdotal examples of everyday corporate businesses, and I don't think they are compatible with Football. It's a different galaxy, let alone world. Even with that said, do we know if JL was unpopular with staff around the club?
I don't think I have said that, it's more how he dragged this club through the mud for me.
I have absolutely no idea, but he is doing no worse than Julen the coward is he?
Sadly yes, earlier this season for one.
Well, this is as ever the intractable question on this thread: who dragged the good name of Wolves through the mud most with their actions, Lopetegui or the board? His interview with Balague was unprofessional, as were his comments about potentially joining a Serie A club. But the club's actions the past six months were more pernicious and destructive IMO, and I think the discerning eye recognises that. No manager of any good standing will likely work with us for a long time.
