No idea if it's true but we've certainly put ourselves in a ridiculous position by announcing that we want to renew his contract in the summer but then in the same breath saying 'Part of that will be the plan for the club, and that’s where you have to have honest conversations about what it looks like going forward'.
If we're starting Tommy Doyle and Josh Brownhill in the centre of midfield for any extended periods of time next season we're going down.
It was an odd powerplay by us. Almost suggesting "he will sign anything, where is he going to get a better offer".
An outcome of the mixed up thinking, certainly since Covid.
No, but I can see him ending up at West Ham
Lop will get that gig I think
I agree, but he did play with Hughes at Portsmouth, so there is a connection there to at least leak their interest and do him a favour. It's trending 5 on Twitter so worked from that perspective.
He also sacked him when he was at Bournemouth?
The owner did or at least made the decision

Yep, they would have binned GO during the World Cup break but the man they wanted wouldn't quit his job until the Summer.
I think he could do a lot better than us to be honest. Look at the state our squad has been in for the last month or so, he could get jobs at a number of other clubs where he wouldn't have to deal with that. We'll lose key players in the summer as well so there's a hell of a lot riding on our incoming recruitment now if we want to stay at a level that O'Neil has now proven that he can compete at. Given our recent track record of lying to a succession of managers, coaches and recruitment staff I wouldn't blame him if he had reservations about committing his future to Wolves.
That might well be the case, but I wouldn't be at all surprised to hear he's had (or been offered) an interview. He's done a great job keeping Bournemouth up, then progressed further with us with a completely ridiculous set of circumstances - he's English, young & clearly interviews well.
Plus, it's like any line of work. I had an interview a few weeks ago for a role I knew I probably wasn't ready for and wouldn't take even if it was offered, I went to it because I'm fairly new to the industry and don't have much experience interviewing within it. O'Neil is new to coaching/management, is building his reputation and has actually worked at Liverpool before as well. It only makes sense for Liverpool to talk to him, even if it's only so they can guage his progress or maintain a relationship with him and O'Neil would be a complete fool to turn down the chance to interview for such a prestigious role.
