But there's no confirmation or otherwise.

Anyone clarify please and thanks.

Yes it is

"Within the time I’ve worked at Wolves I’ve managed the first team loan and exit group, provided support to U23’s working with the Defensive unit and individuals, assisted the lead U18 coach and currently the Lead coach of the U18 Development Programme."

[so-called fan]

So is it

Steve and James gold and black army

or

Davis and Collins gold and black army

?

 

[those were the days]

While I think Davis is a solid enough pair of hands for a game or two while a new manager is hired he has a managerial win record of less than 30% in over 300 games. We need someone with a proven track record of managing at the highest level and getting the best out of elite players like a Lopetegui or Emery.

On a different note, will Tony Roberts also be in the dugout in the weekend. Undefeated against Chelsea of course…

 

[Jamwolf]

If we beat Chelsea 4-0 I'd definitely give him another week !

Yes roberts should be there, unless we have signed a new manager and they have asked roberts to leave

Steve James - it's definitely transcending into a snooker thread

 

[Beastier]

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

Probably won't happen mate as it's looking like (snooker) Loopytegui

 

[SteveBullsKnee]

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

Its only roberts up for question right now.

I’d say 50/50 on Roberts staying. Depends if the new coach has an attachment to a particular goalkeeping coach. From my understanding he’s pretty well thought of at wolves.

Yes and by the players like sa, they all like roberts and are quite happy with him being here, thats why he hasnt been canned off.

I’d imagine that Sa will be sounded out on the quiet by the powers that be including a new coach about Roberts. GK is such a specialist position that you want a coach the senior keeper is happy with, especially a keeper who’s been so influential since he came

Roberts is very well liked. Only question would be whether JL -who I think was a goalkeeper himself- has a specific vision for GK training.

He plays a pretty high line with a sweeper keeper so hopefully not too much will change, as you say Roberts is well liked in the group and we need some sort of continuity mid season in coaching changes.

Many thanks NW.

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.

I didn't know all this and I think talk of him being our next manager is somewhat premature! We need a guy who will attract top players; not sure he fits this criteria!

 

[AndyWolves]

Leave them where they are, they're doing excellent jobs.

If we want to see them at the next level, i guess we could let them manage Grasshoppers

 

[Alex Rae The Substitute]

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.

I’m certainly not advocating it, just got a worried feeling about this.

Sincerely hope I’m wrong and we see Tuchel or Pochettino appointed Wolves manager.

Sadly I think Davis is the most likely of the three.

 

[NottsWolves]

You’re going to be disappointed then!

 

[Elvis Wolf]

Agreed.
His appointment wouldn't attract top players.
We need Poinchetto or someone of similar calibre.
Just hope Jeff doesn't faff around.
Get the appointment done PDQ!!

1% chance of getting Tuchel or Poch
0% chance of Davis.

 

[Beeches wolf]

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

If not I'm sure he'll Pocket some extra cash.

It’s either this criterion or these criteria.

 

[Aurum Lupus]

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.

Not really, chances are it will only be Sa, Neves and Nunes. Injuries, form and age probably rule the rest out.

 

[Bogota Wolf]

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

Steve Davis wasn't the same for me either especially after declaring his love for Spurs on the radio while at the Crucible when we drew with them in the Cup Semi-final also in Sheffield.

 

[Alex Rae The Substitute]

1% chance of getting Tuchel or Poch
0% chance of Davis.

I think all unlikely. Davis more likely though, sadly.

 

[Alex Rae The Substitute]

I know, Lopetegui doesn’t seem too disappointing a front runner though TBF.

 

[Quicksilver]

He beat the Russian champion Inoff the Red

 

[GoldenHorseshoe]

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.

After that post you need a long rest.

 

[WKFWolf]

It could be his Big Break

 

[Bostin]

Not sure the worlds best footballers will be lured by Steve Davis. They might by someone of Lopetuigi’s stature though.

 

[arctic rime]

It could be his Big Break

Not if Snooker Loopy gets in first ....?

 

[WKFWolf]

Not if Snooker Loopy gets in first ....?

Quite probably

I'm hoping still we go in for POTchettino

OK that'll do

 

[Super Ted]

Threads going to pot

Give it a rest!

 

[Greeno]

He'd only need a red and a pink to have more points than us

 

[Justawolf]

Quite probably

I'm hoping still we go in for POTchettino

OK that'll do

Must be in the frame

 

[Super Ted]

Wanderers loopy nuts are we
Me and him and them and me
We'll show you what we can do
With a manager who has a clue
The Wanderers on our way back
We’re the boys in gold and black
Wanderers loopy nuts are we
We're Steve Davis, loopy

 

[Alex Rae The Substitute]

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

Stay tuned for this weekend’s lottery numbers!

Genuinely not surprised we’ve ended here.
