Solbakken hits back at Henry

[Big Mack]

Seems Stale has been on Norwegian TV talking about Henry's recent comments about the new boss etc etc and thanks to someone on Facebook what he says translates as:

"Typical of a captain who's the wrong side of 30 and tries to connect with a new manager and keep the armband. He talked the same way about myself and Connor. I´ve nothing bad to say about him, he´s the archetypical British footballer and gives 100% However, to say that he´s not a representative of modern football would be putting it mildly."

Sounds fair to me. Thoughts...

Spot on Stale.

 

[Thank you Sir Jack]

Polite but accurate in the extreme.

I've always been a suppporter of Karl Henry but I really don't like some of the things I'm hearing about his behaviour over the last 12 months.

I'm no great fan of Henry but SS kept picking him - looks like they deserved each other and Wolves will be better off without either of them!

 

[welshy]

What have Henry said ?

I can't be bothered to take notice of any crap our club come out with at the moment.

News article in some dialect of Norwegian here on a similar subject

http://fotball.bt.no/england/article267812.ece?xtor=RSS-2

The key extract in a very loose GoogleTranslation is probably

[The Implication] was that we were all "wonderful" before someone took our job. If he's lying, telling the truth, or just hopes the manager reads it, only he knows

At least 50% right, not sure about SS but definite on the other half of the equation!!

Stale seems too much of a gentleman. Fair play to him for not having a pop now, but if he had torn a strip off a few of the little darlings 6 months ago, perhaps we may not be in this state.... Too laid back? Giving too much leeway ?

As the saying goes, nice guys finish last

 

[Skrilla]

That's what the majority of our side is - a bunch of brown nosers. Now that MM has gone, the process of replacing them is painstakingly slow because nobody wants footballers with $$$$ all ability but 100% effort.

Yup, and don't.t buy shampoo off Kojak

Even as one of the most pro-Stale guys you'll ever meet, I have to admit that I think this is where he went wrong. He should have (at the very least) given the players a very public criticism and dressing down after the Peterborough, Ipswich and Luton games. From what I remember, he was protective of them in the media and allowed the media spotlight to settle on him, rather than apportion blame elsewhere.

... Just look at the premier League table 2011/12.

Thought they might behave like professional sportsmen?

and when they've got $$$$ all ability and give well below 100% effort?

relegation fodder for the Chumpionship

To be fair to him he didn`t really get the opportunity after the Luton game

Precisely.

Yes, maybe a mistake that someone not au fait with the Championship may make sadly

In the Daily Mail, Henry declared Saunders as probably the best manager he has worked for in relation to hard work, getting in opposition faces etc...

He made this comment only three weeks after Saunders was appointed.

Considering for the best part of ten years, he has either been managed by Tony Pulis or Mick McCarthy, it was a strange comment to make, then again Pulis and McCarthy don't manage Wolves....

[WV10Wolf]

Jesus Stale, if he was that bad why did you a) have him as your captain and b) pick him week in week out.

Wow that's not a new column by any means but some of those quotes are pretty crass and telling

"Having said that, I think the appointment of Dean Saunders will take us back to what we were - an honest, hard-working team. // To me, it's been music to my ears. We are only going to go one way with him as manager."

 

[Boss Hogg]

Quite agree - should have given Foley, Berra, Ward, henry and doyle a public dressing down, thrown them out of the team and put our kids in. If we had been told what was going on in the background I'm sure the fans would have supported him and given the kids some time. They wouldn't have been any worse than what we got.

Telling because that's the only way most of them can play. Henry is one of the most limited one dimensional footballers ive ever seen and he would get slated on here if he wasn't a local lad.

 

[Tring Wolf]

Oh Stale, you really do come across as a likeable, honest and articulate guy. Why couldn't you have been any good for us as well?

 

[Oaky65]

I think he had his fingers burnt with podolski

 

[Wolf316]

Given time I think he would have.

 

[Deleted member 4023]

Stale was too trusting with the vipers he inherited. They've not just taken the managers for a ride, but our chairman and us the fans. I hope we stay up & we can clear all the deadwood & poison out of our club.

 

[Mugwump]

I am very wary of reading things translated. A couple of wrong words can change the whole context of the a article.

 

[procrastination wolf]

Totally disagree. Blind faith, no evidence to support your opinion.

Won't happen mate. Henry's already brown nosing Saunders. Hunt and Edwards are being put in ahead of a natural right winger because they 'trained well' Doyle couldn't score in a brothel yet still starts.Foley despite being gash is picked over Pezsko. The players to be moved on will be Stales.

Are you still fishing?

 

[Pengwern]

I want Stale back here when we get in the Prem and Saunders goes to a bigger club.

Because they are more desireable commodities, will be easier to shift on and will go for decent money.

Leaving us, as always, with the Boomtown *wats and whatever Dean can rustle up with Morgan's loose change.

 

[WS10Wolf]

Agree with everything Stale has said about Henry, if only he'd have said it when he was manager!

For me, Henry's feet are so far under the Wolves table he's virtually slouching in his chair. He's never been anything more than a decent footballer, he worked well for us when he had better players alongside him (Jones, Milijas, O'Hara to an extent), but to be honest, I think David Davis has shown more footballing intelligence and techincal ability this season than Henry ever has.

Spot on. Seems like the group realising Henry is $$$$ is growing fast though.

Its common knowledge that players caused Connor failure and its common knowledge that they caused Solbakken sacking and its finely nice to put faces to whispers for a start we all thought it was Johnson who was the trouble maker but could it be mr captain Karl Henry leading the team out on sky cameras every week maybe got ideas that he was a god, could it be Karl Henry who continued a highly published war of words with Barton perhaps upon losing the captaincy because hes a crock of $$$$ caused player unrest that was responsible for our downfall

The same Henry who Solbakken saw right through along with several others so took a leaf out of Lampards book (And they wonder why Chelsea want rid) and stopped playing for him

Love the club
$$$$ the team

Don't worry. Someone will be along to dismiss this in a little while.
