As good as a win that 🤣

Narrow it down 😉

It is out of date, but some staff remain, but have different titles now.

Tip of an iceberg

If the reports are to be believed regarding Russell Martin being in advanced talks to become our next manager. I am sadly unsuprised, Top clearly wants a possession style or play that was effective for teams with large budgets, not us. However we do have a large budget for league one. So no excuses for no promotion. Martin in my opinion is a product of the last 15 years, and the belief (misconception) that there is a right way to play, which is possession based at all costs. Every player should be comfortable on the ball, and starving the opposition of the ball will result in a greater chance of winning. We won the league with Morgan and Huth remember. The issue for me is he doesn't seem to learn from his defeats. He doesn't have a winning record at any of his previous managerial roles. He isn't a pragmatic man at all. Plan B anyone? I am confused as to why he is lauded by a minority. I believe we are heading for a season of underachievement if he is appointed. Also of terribly boring football but I can accept that as long as results are table topping. His most impressive achievement is pulling Lucy Pinder. Fair play. Maybe we can use her to distract the oppositions goalkeeper?

No. You will have 2 coaches generally per age group with a Lead & Assistant. The Lead is the main decision maker. In Recruitment there is a department which Identifies targets and will get a few reports on players. Recruitment is more of a collective decision. I'd be shocked if Top actively was involved in either. JR however is involved in every facet of the club operations.

No. Players are released by coaches Signings are made by recruitment.

I'd be shocked, because logically that's what I'd assume, when I had an outside perspective. However in my experience that's giving the majority of staff, waaaay to much credit, which I'm sure by now you've all realised they don't deserve 🤣 (Not all however, staff member if your reading). Covered myself there for sure! I really shouldn't be this candid 👀 not sure I'm actually letting a cat out of the bag here. They have been given 12 month deals with a club option 12 months extra. 👍🏻

They (older academy boys) need (an opportunity ) to go and play "proper" football, and they will develop and have a chance at career.

I think you will find these "offers" have already been accepted, I've no idea why they have been reported like this when they were done in April. Edit: I'm a liar, I wrote I have no idea when in reality they are incompetent. Apologies for the lack of clarity 👍🏻

One may say, not me obviously, that of all the clubs to be bemoaning how the system works, Wolverhampton Wanderers should probably take a look at how the operative when bringing in their own talent, Rather than playing the victim when one of their prize possessions has been tapped up. Maybe (One may say, not me obviously) a big club like Wolves should say, stay within the current rules and not circumnavigate them with elaborate schemes in order to prove they are operating within the rules. Maybe other clubs local or localish to Wolverhampton might feel exactly the same as this chap because of how WWFC operates. One may think, not me obviously, that one possibly respects the hell out of how competitive WWFC are willing to be when doing their damnedest, to get the very best players into their academy, and wishes maybe less than 1% of the time, that other Academies would have a similar outlook, yet when you consider that the commodities being discussed here are minors, then the rules exist to protect them. Not the pockets of Billionaires abroad. Regards the Brexit mention I believe he is explaining poorly, that the bigger fish now have to concentrate on their much smaller national pond, not a global one which effects WWFC more than it did previously. However you dress that up, it was and would again be child trafficking. But it's ok because Fabregas was a quality player....... Boo hoo

Martin Taylor made the initial save from Ormondroyd and it fell to Walshys left foot.

He will have a new deal!

Outside of Betis he has a very good record with his teams. Also has won league one with Brighton. Unlike another big name, RVN.

Listened to Gus Poyet say he would take on a League 1 team if the project was right, on the managers podcast. IMO he would be a very good appointment.
