Just received a text from a mate who is in the know at the club, he says that the first manager the club approached is Mick Mccarthy. The approach was turned down saying the initial offer was not good enough.

Pretty sure he did. Ebanks-Blake, Jarvis, Fletcher, Johnson, Berra, Hunt and Doyle to name a few that cost money.

Not in his first year but spent £1.5m on Eastwood, £1.5m on Eubanks-Blake, £750k on Elliott, Plus fees fo another 5 players in his second, then followed it up by spending £2.3m on Berra, £1.6m on Stearman, £1.2m on David jones, £1m on Shackell, Plus fees for 4 other players in his third season when they won the league and got promoted.
But no he had no money at wolves

He wasn't in league one, so what's the point? If we were top champ or prem, we would have money to spend.

Still would do a job, and he does not need to buy as he would be inheriting a very good squad.

And if we were top championship or PL then he might be interested but we're not so what's the point of the thread?

McCarthy: Eager to return to big time
* £10 completely free bet
Mick McCarthy says the main reason he chose to turn down Nottingham Forest's job offer was his desire to return to Premier League management.
Former Republic of Ireland international McCarthy recently held talks with Forest about becoming manager following the Al-Hasawi family's takeover at the City Ground.
He subsequently pulled out of discussions to replace Steve Cotterill, with the Championship club eventually appointing Sean O'Driscoll as the new boss.
McCarthy, who was sacked by Wolves in February, is keen to get back into the top flight and he also did not want to be disrespectful towards Forest by taking the job for the sake of it.
"The primary reason is that I want to get a job in the Premier League," McCarthy told the Irish Independent.
"Whether that's going to happen or not, I don't know, because there isn't an awful lot of jobs going, of course, and it's not really a sacking league - well, it's got better that way.
"I'd also just moved out of the West Midlands, and I thought it would be wrong to go back and just take a club, especially a club like Nottingham Forest, which has a great history, for the sake of taking the club. I don't think anyone deserves that.
"We'll see what comes up. They all know I'm unemployed. There might be a club abroad that I might like."
McCarthy is also keeping an open mind regarding the prospect of a return to international football after rejecting the chance to become South Korea coach in 2007.
"I'd say I would consider it (international football) again and that's not necessarily here because South Korea approached me a few years back; that job was mine, but I turned it down.
"I've had a number of enquiries as to whether I'd be interested in international jobs. But now, I want to be at a club, that's where I want to be," the ex-Ireland boss added.
