This love in with Ince staggers me. A self entitled cunt who has achieved the square root of fuck all as a manager.

Is there a chance of Allardyce being banned from football regards his alleged recent conduct? Surely that would rule him out?
 
Be surprised if it is Allardyce - still has issues hanging over him & doubt that Fosun would want to take that risk with their investment

Suspect than Fosun will have got an agreement with someone before they pulled the plug & would an annoucement in pretty short order.
 
I'm getting wood over the thought of Big Sam. What a perfect marriage. Forget about the bullshit corruption. If he's not banned from English football, I will get aboard the Allardyce Express.

?

Bloke just in front of me on Saturday was apoplectic about how poor a Captain Batth is and said the best Captain Wolves have ever had was Ince. :facepalm:
 
This Bolton stuff is absolutely eons ago in footballing terms though. He was beyond $#@!e at Newcastle and not sure Sunderland and Blackburn had anyone particularly high profile from overseas.

Neither do we, tbf.

Worth a thread on its own. The best captain I have seen at Wolves was Mike Bailey, but there can be little doubt that Billy Wright was our finest ever captain.
 
If we want a manager to get us up and maintain a mid or lower mid table survival then Sam's our man but personally would prefer someone who will get us playing a more exciting brand of football even if it means being a yoyo club.

I can't decide if I think they will have - the "we won't set a timescale on appointing a replacement" thing in the press release jumped out at me in that regard, because they didn't say anything like that when they sacked Jackett. (They actually specifically said that his replacement would be announced soon after.)

There isn't any doubt that they will have already been working on replacing him, that much is obvious, but how close they are to agreement with someone is hard to divine. It's probably relevant that November is a quiet month for the first team, with no mid-week games scheduled and only four games between now and this time next month. If you know you're probably going to have to replace a manager in time for him to have had time to adapt the team to his new tactics, and to give him input on the transfers required in and out in January, it makes sense to do it in November rather than December, regardless of whether you're 100% ready to replace them or not, right?
 
I know there's a bit of doubt over Allardyce and his behind the scenes fucking about, but I'd put him into the same bucket as that other cunt from Devon who has a farm and drives a tractor.
Spent time at Crystal Palace and QPR.... name escapes me.... mouthy and gobby but frequently seen as a fan's man.
i'd be sick if this crowd got either of them in...
What did Fosun know about Zenga?
And exactly what are they gonna know about any English manager.
Who are they listening to? Mendez? Thelwell?
 
One thing that today's news has highlighted for me is the ability shown by our fans to amalgamate cliches. Some of the callers on WM are shit hot at it.
 
Something about the fact this has been done 3 days after the Leeds game and not straight afterwards makes me feel like they've got someone else sounded out and lined up
 
It's always banded around that BFS is a Wolves fan, is this actually corroborated anywhere?

"Samuel Allardyce was born in October 1954 in a council house on the Old Park Farm Estate, Dudley, the son of Robert Allardyce (1916–1989) and Mary Agnes Allardyce (1918–1991). His father was a police sergeant.[5] Both parents originated from Scotland with his father from Nairn and his mother from Dumfries.[6] He has an older sister, Mary, born in Scotland in 1939 and an older brother, Robert junior, born in 1951. Allardyce was educated at Sycamore Green Primary School and later at Mons Hill School, having been unsuccessful in his Eleven plus exam.[7] He discovered in later life that he suffers from dyslexia.[8] As a child, he supported Wolverhampton Wanderers and dreamed that one day he would play at and manage the club"

Only Wiki though...
 
Just found a quote from him too, seems it is true.

Not that it really counts for much in my opinion.

Yes - I read his autobiography on holiday last month. He doesn't talk much about Wolves other than it was his introduction to football and that we were 'his team' as a kid.

The bit in bold isn't mentioned in his book at all. He says on numerous occasions that his dream was always to land the England job but he never mentions wanting to coach Wolves. It was written after his tenure at West Ham.
 
Sam comes with way too much baggage (in more ways than one) and I'd be surprised if Fosun have even given him a thought let alone be on the verge of offering him the job. If we were still the Wolves of old I'd be pretty concerned right now but given our field of vision is thousands of miles wider than it was last year I'm much more at ease. And I agree that they probably have someone already lined up, with an announcement being made sooner rather than later.

Agreed
 
Fuck off and die*

*I got banned for saying that to someone previously, so please note it is in jest towards your good self. Not to the idea of that fucking nouveau-religious fucking head-bump-feeling utter cockpocket ever being allowed near our hallowed turf again though. I would rather we appointed Tommy Docherty with Dean Saunders as assistant.
Not to worry, it was taken as intended, in jest.

As for Hoddle, there aren't enough swear words in existence to explain how I feel about that bunglecunt.

I know a fair few people want Allardyce but I don't see why. He's got teams out of this yes, but how long ago was that? I don't want to see his brand of football anywhere near my club, thank you.

Marco Silva all the way for me.
