Saunders lucked out at Donny in 12/13.

They were promoted as Champions with 84 points. In our promotion season that total would have seen them finish sixth and in the 6 (full) seasons since 2013 they'd have finished 4th three times, 6th twice and 3rd once once

He had no pedigree whatsoever, I didn't buy the he's only interested in his building developments but Morgan us undoubtedly full of shit at this point.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

I'm sure either he or Jez (or maybe even both) kept talking about him as a "young manager" at the time too. He was older in 2013 than Mick was when he took over in 2006.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Swain's hot take when he was appointed.

This annoyed me sooooooooo much at the time.

Spent weeks, nay months pushing the "he's doing as well as anyone could really, all this is beyond his control, fans should stick by him" line then sticks the boot in immediately after he's binned and says "yeah, I knew he wasn't really suitable all along". Fuck off Martin.

I'm still not over the whole episode. Not sure I ever will be.

That headline is 90% of the way to the truth.

Should read "Wolves' sacking of manager Dean Saunders is merciless, a little cruel, brutally swift, and totally deserved".

 

[Norman Deeley]

I remember watching being interviewed when he was manager of Donny. A complete fuckwit who talked bollocks and had motivational wank plastered all over the dressing room. "If you're not fired with enthusiasm you'll be fired with enthusiasm." Seriously, I thought, what grown man thinks something like that is useful? A week later he was Wolves boss...

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

I turned off before I got to the Coady bit. I don't want to know about his toilet roll problems or that people recognise him.

Maybe just wind on to the bit about the captain of the club you support then?

Alex Goncalves going through the Portugal XI and declaring who he sees as World Class.

Up first is Rui.

Good read. I still think he was played into trouble by Raul v Espanyol but maybe I'm alone in that. Agree with almost everything else and the overall verdict.

 

[GLASGOWOLF]

As shit a manager as he was, he was a fucking good player

Saunders?

Yeah - he could certainly score a good goal. However, the Paul Elliot tackle was unforgivable stuff.

Certainly was.
One of many bad tackles.

 

[Tony Towner]

When he got his big move, he proved to not be up to it and was bombed out in a season

[Newbridge Wolf]

Thats a very nice gesture by the club and players

Thats a very nice gesture by the club and players

It is, along with players at all of the other Premier League clubs who are doing something similar. I've read on the G&S that Nuno has also donated to hospital in Portugal.

Take Grealish out and stick a CDM in and that's a great team

 

[MARKakaJIM]

Assuming they don't give a fuck about defensive stats for midfielders looking at that line up.
