Because it’s means we’re complicit in Top’s destruction of the club. Get behind a manger like O’Neil? And let’s not forget he openly criticised the Wolves board, and he would be coming here? I’ve seen more support from a scaffolding made of straws and hub a bubba. It would end in tears. And why should we allow Top and his mate to get away with it any longer? 

On the WYS podcast last night Matt Piper said that O'Neil was a friend of his, and spoke highly of his personal qualities and his dedication to coaching — and then admitted that he definitely would not want O'Neil to manage us. He basically said that if O'Neil really wants to continue being a manager rather than just a coach, he needs to get a job at a smaller club in the lower divisions where he can learn his craft and, in Piper's words, 'get his confidence back'.


And this was coming from somebody who knows and likes O'Neil...

We don't know if he is.

 

However he has been removed from his last 2 jobs. His Wolves team were below us in the league last year, that should tell you something.

 

Se @ClaphamFox post above too.

Never managed in the Championship, both his previous roles have led to his losing the dressing room - at Wolves they were fighting on the pitch. Has he got what it takes to manage a dressing room full of egos like we've got? Probably not.

 

I won't say it's a bad appointment yet - though I'm almost certain it will be - but is it uninspiring and depressing? Very much so.

Yeah sorry I’ll not support the appointment of a poor average manager. They sacked managers because they keep getting them wrong. So no, you should not get behind any decisions that will be yet another mistake and end up in a sacking.

Listened to it myself. Pipes was alluding to the fact we need a strong character and openly dismissed GON.

After reading that I've never been more sure that it's going to be O'Neill

Surely it's not beyond possibilities to let Danny Rohl pay off his own contract, join us for free and then we send him to Bangkok, collect a suitcase full of cash that happens to be left in his King Power Exec Suite, and then fly back.

Such as with Cooper… a large proportion of this forum still wanted him out in pre season 😅 before we had played a competitive game, and before we had any fit central midfielders available

Nobody wanted Cooper he was a shocking appointment but from what I remember everyone got

behind him at the start.

Or just pay him a signing on fee if he pays off his own contract if that’s even possible

I've come round to the idea of Gary O'Neil, he's young coach with a lot of scope to improve and he has experience. He wouldn't be my first choice by any stretch but recently we've seen Parker, Kompany, McKenna, Le Bris, Martin, Edwards and Marcesca all gain promotion from the Championship, all of which were managers with average coaching careers up until that point.

 

The lack of philosophy worries me though, Cooper and Ruud didn't have a playing style and we saw how that worked out.

Top needs to remove Rudkin and hire Rohl.   This would breath a huge breath of fresh air into this dying Club.

I tried my hardest to, the lens friendly made me worry, then enjoyed the 2nd half against spurs. Some bit where you thought there is some fight but also we got very lucky.

 

But I was worried from watching his forest team in the prem that there didn’t seem to be a plan, then thad how it seemed to transpire with us in the end.

 

Wrong appointment as was RVN. By all account cooper was rudkin RVN was top.

 

GON might be fine, Parker got Burnley up. But do we want just fine?

A popular appointment gets some grace ; an unpopular appointment best start well, or it goes toxic fast ! But anyone who wins games is going to be popular if we are riding high in the table?  it’s a simple as that.  If you’re going to dig your heels in and stay mardy if we are wining because you didn’t like the guy in the first place , then I don’t know what to say to you!

Everyone has the right to learn from their mistakes - as long as they do. 

 

Cooper didn't, not sure if RvN made the same mistakes in Holland but he certainly made the same mistakes week after week while he was here. 

 

GoN undoubtedly made mistakes at Wolves, the worry is that he'll do the same here, especially with a squad the majority of which appears to have no respect for the manager whatsoever.

You still think Rudkin is the problem?

Rudkin is a symptom. Aiyawatt is the problem.
