The latest interviews by Ward and Hunt confirm what all Wolves fans have known for some time. The team has not been pulling together since the arrival of Roger Johnson. There are two possible reasons for this – Johnson and the rest. Both must shoulder their share of the blame. The additional revelation that McCarthy trained the team too hard and that Connor has changed the training regime to be less arduous is seen by some players to be a positive! What planet are these players on? Surely they can add up…well it’s not hard but here we are 1+0+0+0+0+0+0 =1. Continue reading →

Anyone not making the trip up to The Britannia, please remember the Salopian Bar is showing the game live. Pop along and say hello!

Following my blog last week suggesting that McCarthy should return for the run-in – just look what happened. Big Mick does interviews saying he would not rule out a return to the club but the time may not be right (Mick I only ever mean’t you to return until the end of the season!) and there was a good deal of ‘terrace talk’ yesterday that Mick had been offered a million pounds by the Board to do so. However again it was left too late and as everyone I spoke to at the game agreed; yesterday was a must win and we lost. I can only assume we all agree we are down. The must win game has come and gone and us with it. In the hope that my waving of the white flag may inspire our band of mainly well overpaid Championship players I pronounce that Wolves are going down.

Here’s a radical thought…why doesn’t Morgan get on the phone to Mick and parachute him back into Molineux? The failure of TC to be radical and move on from the McCarthy era was evident when we went down to Norwich yesterday. We may as well have the real thing! New managers should bring with them a ‘bounce’ factor..TC’s ‘bounce’ consisted of one point and since then he has lost 4 straight games conceding 16 goals and scoring just 2, an average defeat of 4-1 if I’m generous! But then he is not really new. Indeed he is in regular contact with Mick and one can only assume they are talking about football and not the results of X Factor. Continue reading →

The denial merchants are still in the majority around Molineux. TC has not inherited MM’s sense of realism as he continues to say that we played well until the other team scored. No TC we were not playing well against Fulham and Blackburn long before they scored! Indeed we have not played well for the past 180 plus minutes of play. Moxey has sensibly gone to ground amongst the chaos which is preferable than listening to him trying to defend the appointment of TC re-quoting his assertion that the job is not for a novice or inexperienced manager and then suggesting that TC was not in that bracket!! There is a saying that when in a  hole you stop digging and Moxey has decided to do just that.  Continue reading →

The story about Roger Johnson will be driving many a Wolves fan to drink today. The unfolding situation at the club continues to defy belief. Roger Johnson turning up the worse for wear may be the headline but it’s not the story. The story is why Wolves do not have in place the technology to ascertain how much alcohol players have in their system when reporting for training and a strong manager who players fear. Surely they are not naive enough to believe its only Roger Johnson who is on the bottle. That’s the difference between Wolves and more successful clubs. Or if you like the difference between McCarthy and Allardyce et al. Continue reading →

According to the Sun Jamie O’Hara sees the new Wolves manager as a permanent appointment in the mould of Guardiola. Seems like Jamie has taken over the mantle for being the players’ fantasy rantings spokeman. Someone at Molineux needs to get a grip of PR even if it means appointing Craddock and Ward and one or two others who have a grasp of reality. We are a Black Country club whose fans appreciate a direct approach and not ridiculous comparisons.  Continue reading →

Well my last blog strongly hinted at an inside track of knowledge around Alan Curbishley….so was this information wrong? I was certain Curbishley wanted the job and according to my sources he did - that is right up to the time of meeting the two M’s and establishing that the Chairman’s vision for the club was not to his liking. Now this is a manager who is used to dealing with mid table aspirations and relatively small beer for a transfer kitty. What has Morgan gone and said that would frighten even him off??? Now we have suffered the humiliation of rejection from him not once but twice, having gone back knocking on his door asking for foregiveness.  Continue reading →

Alan Curbishley will be the next Wolves manager. Whilst not official yet this is the only way forward after missing out on the few quailty managers available this and last season. The reign of Mick McCarthy ended in desperation at the hands (or more appropriately feet) of Wolves fiercest rivals with a 5-1 thrashing that sent the club into the drop zone. To say this was an accident waiting to happen is an understatement. McCarthy should have departed at the end of last season after his team conspired to lose its last game at home yet miraculously stayed up thanks to Birmingham conceding in the dying minutes of the season. Morgan did not make a move then. It is said that his Chief Executive has solidly supported McCarthy through thick and thin and this could be a reason for not taking a pro-active stance instead of waiting until the bitterest of ends.   Continue reading →

At the end of yesterday’s game the Wolves team had lived upto to their tag as heroic failures with the exception of ex captain Henry who will now miss the next three games due to an act of incredible stupidity, back heeling a Villa player after he had won a free kick, a temper tantrum so crass that it defies belief for such an experienced professional. This coupled with a Wolverhampton Sunday morning football game gaffe (division 10 no higher) by Berra to give Villa an opening goal via a penalty ensured that the goals by the returning Messiah Keane won the game for Villa. Why so many Wolves fans felt obliged to not only applaud Henry off the pitch but also Keane beggars belief.  Continue reading →
