SACKED!!!

[ROVERT47]

Hmm, managing in the EPL, let’s hope he’s up for a sojourn in the Championship.

Well he’ll get at least two seasons in the EPL. Winter and Spring.

Perhaps he’ll buy a CH too?!

 

[Sniffer]

He’s left the Saudi club.

 

[ROVERT47]

I reckon even if we’d beaten Ipswich yesterday this was happening.

What do laughing emojis actually mean when someone’s not cracked a joke, please explain yourself.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

can we not go there ffs

 

[ROVERT47]

Why?

 

[Kenny]

Why?

Just means the poster thinks your opinion is so off its hilarious.

Easier than offering a counter argument innit

 

[ROVERT47]

I’m more than happy for someone to explain why they might think the sacking of O’Neil was not pre planned whatever yesterday’s outcome but why hide behind a fucking pathetic emoji.

Classic Jeff Shi

There's zero point to Jeff Shi. To my mind he hasn't made a single positive decision for himself.

When left to his own devices his decision making has been disastrous.

Guo cannot give a single fuck about wolves if he won’t can Shi

Interesting stats re GON - his overall record in the 63 games was won 20, drew 11 and lost 32 (I'll let Dan fill in the goals scored and conceded).

He had a purple patch for 5 months from the 2-1 win vs Man City on Sept 30th, 2023 to the 2-1 win vs Fulham on Mar 9th, 2024 encompassing 27 games where we won 14, drew 5 and lost 8 - that's a Nuno like streak but as we all tend to acknowledge it was more on the back of the individual brilliance of a few players rather than GON's tactical genius.

Backing out that 5 month period you have 36 games (6 games prior to Man City and 30 post Fulham) which read won 6, drew 6 and lost 24 - that is simply an appalling run of results.

I'm glad GON is gone !

As for Vitor Pereira, it's a punt but under GON we were definitely being relegated, under Pereira we have a slim chance - a risk worth taking.

Interesting stats.
I think we have very little chance of surviving without some quality additions in defence. I hope I'm wrong.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

I suspect that Periera is getting some nice Mendes presents. Hopefully some of which will be competent centre backs.

Surely even Shi has realised we were absolutely fucked and that the chances of salvation are slim indeed without squad investment.

 

[prawnking]

Romano reporting it's almost done now

 

[jd1981]

I reckon he’ll be taking training tomorrow

 

[Wilf Wolf]

Bizarre that betting market is still open. 1/5 still, which suggests Sky still think he might not come.

I would agree Paddy, Periera has been promised some Mendes Christmas presents to help him.

Given our most successful time was due to very close links to Mendes, i dont have the dislike for him that some on here do.

Other than the Silva, most of his direct players have been good. Givens Silva's record as a Youngster you can sort of get the transfer, it was a Gamble that failed.

First chance I've had to comment on this as I've had a very busy weekend, fortunately that didn't include a trip to Wolverhampton on Saturday...

It's WAY too late in happening - he should have gone weeks ago. We've wasted some valuable games and have dropped points against fellow strugglers which I'm certain is going to come back and bite us come May. What the hell the board were thinking letting that farce continue when it was painfully obvious that there was no way O'Neil was turning it around is anyone's guess.

As for O'Neil himself - yes, he let himself down a bit with some of the comments towards the end of his tenure but I can excuse a little bit of stress etc. Genuinely don't dislike the guy - and it's simply wrong to suggest we didn't enjoy some really good days under him so I 100% agree with @Deutsch Wolf's ranking. He's nowhere near as bad as the likes of Saunders, Hoddle.

Sadly, he wasn't up to the task and I'm pleased he's gone. I just don't wish him any ill - I hope he is able to learn from his time here and goes on to be a success in his coaching career.
