Steve Davis

[Bahama Wolf]

I’m assuming this is the Steve Davis that used to manage Crewe and was under consideration for the the Wolves job a few years ago? Loved his style of football when he managed Crewe back then, will definitely help steady the ship on the interim. Do what Gary O’Neil has done at Bournemouth and I’ll try and gets some odds at 1000/1..

 

[sedgwolf1980]

Big Wolves fan too. Proud day for him. Shame we will probably get tonked about 3-0.

Prove us wrong Steve!

 

[Wolf in Kenilworth]

He also played for Burnley against us in the Sherpa Van trophy final.

 

[ombyman]

For all the people who don't want another portugeezer in charge (me included) the name combo of Steve Davis and James Collins is about as English as could be hoped for!

 

[Skrilla]

It is indeed. Got them promoted, and kept Crewe in League One for a good amount of time while working on a shoestring with their excellent academy. James Collins was his assistant at Crewe as well. You never know, just some fresh coaching might be the impetus we need for a positive result on Saturday. Nobody is expecting anything either so nothing to lose!

I hadn't realised that about Collins, thank you.

 

[Alex Rae The Substitute]

I’ve got a sneaky feeling he’ll be appointed manager for at least a few months… just a hunch.

I hope that you are wrong because l think that would be suicidal.

 

[Alex Rae The Substitute]

Can’t say I disagree. I just think we’ll struggle to get the person we really want, Davis will have an ok patch and will be appointed. This will likely then unravel by February.

Ler he who has not sinned throw the first stone.

 

[dennison11]

The good thing is that he's in a no lose situation for his career at the moment. Lose to Chelsea and nobody will blame him, beat Chelsea and he's a genius. Be very interesting to see how the team line up and how they play

 

[inaglasshouse]

This could be very interesting ..

 

[GoldenHorseshoe]

This could be very interesting ..

I said earlier that the performance of the next game compared to the previous one will be interesting.

 

[JayStringer]

He was my preferred choice at the time (the interview process that led to Kenny Jackett.) Happy with how things turned out. Jackett was a good choice and he turned us around. But I do still wonder what might have been.

I really hope not

Not a chance.

 

[SuperGran]

The wording from wolves was that they would prepare the team for Chelsea no one has been appointed as caretaker manager they are expecting the new manager to be in quickly

 

[Bigcheese]

They might even play people in their proper position!

 

[lets all have a disco]

He wasn't the same when Steve Hendry came along....

 

[Mile End Wanderer]

if we win Saturday just give him the job. Miracles do happen

 

[nomadwolf]

Upto 9 (?) of our team could win the World Cup for Portugal, and 3 more an outside chance of playing for Spain. *

What does any manager really need to tell them, with a 3000 strong, re-invigorated Wolf away pack baying them on.

"Team on notice board lads. Go play!"

*...and Southgate needs to apply his brain to the Max.

Where does Southgate fit in all this?

 

[arctic rime]

Who’s the senior at Wolves Collins ?

 

[so-called fan]

Who’s the senior at Wolves Collins ?

Yes, in theory. At least I've always assumed U21 coach was senior to U18 coach. Maybe not. I mentioned it in another thread not knowing Davis had such a long management history. I would like them to be given a proper shot at the top job now I know.

 

[Norman Bell]

I do hope this thread is not to end me taking a break from it as it gets snookered by constant Steve Davis snooker quips coming into the frame on cue.

 

[Dr Wolfenstein]

People seem to be getting a little carried away over a guy who's now in his late 50s & never managed above League One (Third Division) level; who ultimately failed (only 30% win percentage & relegation to League Two) & was sacked by Crewe & whose career then continued on a downward trajectory with a sacking at Leyton Orient in the National League after 22 games.

Exactly he’s someone that’s stepping in to hold the reins no chance of anything more

Leyton Orient was a club falling apart, and had been for some time before he arrived. He's had a long career, probably has a shrewd idea what the club's problems are, and he's one of our own. Hopefully neither of them speaks a word of Portuguese.

Try not to baulk at them too much mate

All puns aside this really could be his big break ... written in the stars (I hear he's a Virgo)

If we do get him lets hope he chalks up a few victories.

 

[Boss Hogg]

And then we’ll all be singing “Happy baize are here again”

I've had enough of them already, they're making me see red.

The touch of a tactical genius among them .....

Steve Davis was a member at my local gym where his partner worked. He was always keen to chat about the Wolves and is a real fan. People I know who follow the U18s are impressed, I hope the change in the coaching team doesn't mean losing him (and Collins)

They will 100% stay on. The youth development aspect of the club is run very separately to the senior side.

He was my choice at the time too, but Kenny was excellent for us and the right appointment in hindsight .

Don't say that. I saw a couple of Leyton Orient matches when he was in charge and despite him having the largest budget in the National League at the time, they were hopeless. They sacked him before things got worse. I don't recall his record at Crewe being anything special either.

Collins and Davis will remain they are a different part of the staff.

Its only roberts up for question right now.
