Re: [NSWolves] Get the men in white coats [sec=unclassified]
Agreed, unfortunately we're not going to be able to attract any players of that calibre. I would like us to try and use the loan system better than we have in the past. When you look at players like sturridge on loan at bolton and wellbeck on loan at sunderland, they are players that have had big impacts and injected pace and flair to those two teams. Surely we should be able to attract players like that now that we are establishing ourselves in the premier league?

Re: [NSWolves] Get the men in white coats [sec=unclassified]
I know it seems that I am stubbornly in favour of Mick and won't listen to anything said against him. I have been trying to put myself in the other camp for the last few days but I keep coming back to these points: - He is the best manager we've had for some time, at least in terms of the success he's brought the club. - With the side we have I think he's about on par. Could another manager punch further above our current weight? Possibly, but I think it's unsustainable in the long term. Roy will be an intersting one to watch next season. - We still have a side that is 50% the same as the one that won the championship. It's hard to argue that the team should be doing better on those grounds - I also think Mick gets more out of the team than they actually have in terms of quality. The team seem to like him very much. - We've beaten some very good teams. The number we have beaten makes it very hard to put down to fluke. I think we have looked really good at times. - Despite appearing to make bad decisions in selection, I have to assume that he knows more about it than anyone else. This next season is probably do or die though. I assume that we'll buy O'Hara plus a couple of other players, such as a left back and a central defender. That will remove some more of the championship team. It wil still be a low wage side though Lee do you fancy a bet on the position of Wolves and Albion next season?

You want a bet on next season already. Thats like putting money of the Melbourne Cup before you know who is running. Early reports suggest O'Hara is going to be signed along with other positions being addressed. If we get the players we want, I am confidant we can do much better, the problem as been enticing good players to Wolverhampton though...maybe our survival will make the better players see stability at last.

Hello Steve! Funny you say that as I have been putting on my Rose coloured glasses again these last couple of days. Maybe you are right and we are better off with the Devil we know? I like Mick and all Manager's make mistakes from time to time. I am open to walking back into the MM camp but will reserve judgement until I see who he buys / sells in the transfer window this summer. Now, where are we starting this Staying Up Party and when?

Re: [NSWolves] Get the men in white coats [sec=unclassified]
I suspect that Roy has had one of his characteristic streaks of good luck. I think Mick and Roy will be in their jobs. I can't see Albion spending much in the summer though I can see QPR spending more money than to buy a Henry. I wonder what we'd think of him when he was playing for another team. I suspect his role is not obvious but makes a big difference in breaking up play. O'hara lives in Birmingham which I understand is quite nice now. It can't be much worse than Liverpool or Manchester can it? Two seasons in it should be much easier to attract players. I remember the season we came up and how nobody wanted to come. I think it should be easier now. On 24 May 2011 09:45, Morris, Lee SGT lee.mor...@defence.gov.au wrote: You want a bet on next season already.

With Morgan spending on the stadium, it makes sense that he will spend on the squad too. What's the use of a nice new stadium in the Championship. Owen and Lescott would be nice, so what about a Parker and an Adam as well?

Re: [NSWolves] Get the men in white coats [sec=unclassified]
wasnt there rumours 3 top 8 clubs wanted Adam in Jan ? Why would he come to us ? Same for Parker. Why would Lescott whens he on £100,000+ pw and an England international ? And O'Neill is sitting waiting to manage one of the top 6 clubs. He wouldnt be interested in us. We could easily end up with a manager worse than MM, like we usually have had.
