Spoke to a number of Wolves fans today. All bewildered by the decision but we have their blessing to take O’Neil off their hands.

I wouldn’t be so dismissive of Lampard. He was on a good thing at Derby but jumped ship too early to the Prem. The Chelsea job was too big for him at the time. Also Everton is always a shit show. Not saying I want him as first choice but he’s not the worst one on that betting list.

We've tried the high profile ex-player a few times; Really, Butcher, Strachan, it ultimately ends in tears. I don't want to end up like Watford who change their manager multiple times a season. Lampard would be a poor choice in ny opinion as would Carsley.
And Robbie Keane. Fuck me. Clueless.

I'd rather have the Wycombe guy or even Wagner or Selles over any of those.

Going to be a really tough act to follow even in the championship

Last 3 seasons 12th - 5th - 9th


Going to take some hard work to please this new breed of fan we have , and I genuinely worry about how much time the new bloke will be afforded by them

Yeah that's all well and sound Deity, but who do you want as the next manager
Click to expand...
I have a short list of 4

Corberan ( knows the league, attention to detail second to none )
Bielsa ( because it would be amazing to watch )
Carsley ( a progressive high quality coach )
Allardyce ( wild card …. Not the dinosaur lazy fans think and would Instill winning discipline )

I don’t know European leagues well enough to suggest managers from other countries …

Not sure how good he is but if we are allowed to loan players then his Chelsea connections could be useful as they seem to have about a billion players.

Well you would have thought loans would help in that scenario, but King seems to be against loans.

None of the names mentioned instill me with any hope.

Proof will be in the pudding though of course.

Realistically only carsley is achievable there , and with the crop of players we have allardyce doesn't know how to play the style of football these lads are best playing plus he's 70 years old

Alladyce may not be the dinosaur some think he is, (he was an early adapter of sports science), but his football would make your eyes bleed.

A resounding no from me.

I quite like Lampard - which is why I would counsel him not to take the job. If he gets it I will support him but I fear Lampard is to Robins what Rooney was to Eustace.

It was a ridiculous squad. He then went and spent £220m the following summer and got sacked. He is shite and would be an embarrassing appointment. We go on we have a squad of prima donnas, well lampard man management was that bad he had to have Cech act as an intermediary between him and some of his squad

Lampard speaks about the game very well , however in the playoff final he never played a proper striker until 20 minutes to go when they were 2-0 down
