O'Neil aka GONe

I think they tried in as much as they spoke to obvious upgrades who all told them to do one, so worked on GONs connection with the players being worth more than a comparable or marginally better manager in the Cooper mould. We.are.fucked.

And the cost....so much about the cost..
 
I wish everyone of our players had J Gomes fight and tenacity. If so, things would be a lot better.

I don't think any of them aren't trying?

Which we've seen from failing Wolves teams in the past.

And Gomes has just spent the last two games giving free kicks away.

Jesus! It'd be funny if it wasn't so tragic. So glad I no longer give the colossal bellends running the club any of my money any more. Let's not forget they put up prices again in the summer for this embarrassment, they should be hounded out of Wolverhampton via pitchfork.
 
This is nothing short of managed decline. Can’t pin all blame O’Neil, he can’t help his inexperience and you at least have to admire his worth ethic. It’s like Jeff hasn’t learned any lessons from the past few seasons but I guess his hands are now firmly tied by Fosun’s decision to stop spending. They can’t seriously think they will survive this time around. Ridiculous
 
If Shi, Hobbs and GON were all in the dock for this Shi would be getting the heaviest sentence. GON and Hobbs would get an equal one.
The policy around transfers is centre of all the crap. It’s why the 2 best coaches ended speaking out and ultimately leaving.
Selling 1-2 better players each summer than replace them with unproven or developing youngsters on the cheap, eventually it’ll leave you with a gap in quality and here we are.
 
I was discussing this elsewhere and someone had posted this. Having looked at the clubs published accounts and other figures. What do the better financial heads make of this, does this seem accurate?

I think the problem is "spent big in 22/23" is an understatement.

The accounts show at the end of 21/22 Wolves had total £55m outstanding transfer payments (instalments from previous transfers) of which £30m was payable during 22/23.

It turned out the total amount paid on transfers during 22/23 was £212m, so £182m on new transfers (probably some was clause payments from previous transfers). But they also ended 22/23 committed to paying £190m in future, of which £100m was payable in 23/24. Meanwhile transfer receipts were basically the same as the previous year. That indicates total committed payments of about £350m on 22/23 transfers. All for a club with total revenue about £160m.

Their contingent liabilities for 23/24 (basically potential clause and bonus payments) also nearly doubled from the previous year - £45m to £80m.

The accounts do show the effect of big sales (net £83m gain) during 23/24 but these only cancelled out committed spending from the previous year.

Another issue is the club had £115m outstanding in bank loans at the end of 22/23. This wasn't too bad a year earlier when interest rates were nothing but by summer 23 it was near 10%. They lost £10m during 22/23 just on interest payments.
 
I’ve given up now, he’s not going anywhere, I always believed he was brought in to Coach us in the Championship after Lopetegui had told them they had no chance of remaining in the Premier League with the current squad.
He got lucky, I’ve seen nothing either now or in recent weeks to alter my opinion.
 
Got to say I’m surprised by the number of people here forecasting a positive result Saturday. Putting aside the ‘personality’ / emotion I’m struggling to see any positives whatsoever in the way we play, and things are falling apart now when it comes to discipline. There doesn’t seem to be a logical argument for Wolves winning a match against any basically structured and motivated opponent.

He’s not good enough for the championship - it’s a tough league with some decent managers.

But can they do it on a cold and wet Tuesday night in Millwall, like our hardened and tough English managers 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿?

I don't see many people saying this. I fully see Ipswich beating us. They will be absolutely up for this and anyone facing us now needs to be trying to play for set pieces and just overloading balls into the key areas we have shown we can't deal with.

Yep, like TT says I’m reflecting on the numbers in the prediction thread. BTW, I’m not criticising anyone for that, just expressing my surprise that indeed there are (relatively) many people saying that.
 
Like mine, I don't think we're confident at all in that win prediction!

Read the comments. This is a wider view of how Gaz is perceived within the football fanbase. Almost every one of them is in support of him.

Think I’d be wasting my time commenting on there “what about the 15 goals conceded from set pieces, Gary?”
