O'Neil Confirmed

[Lupo]

3 year deal

 

[Carsy]

Underwhelming. But nailed on.

Wish him all the best, hope he succeeds and proves the majority wrong.

Don’t think he will, but will happily be proven wrong. My opinion just based on he’s a no one, with the real track record to speak of. Did a decent job for Bournemouth I felt, but isn’t what we need with the type of players we have IMO

Nevertheless, go well Mr O’Neil

 

[Lycan]

Completely unqualified for the job

Wolves' sporting director Matt Hobbs issued the following statement when Gary O'Neil's arrival at Molineux was confirmed: “We’re delighted to welcome Gary to the club. He’s a highly motivated young coach with strong principles and very well thought of by everyone he has worked with, and we’re excited to see what we can achieve together at Wolves.

Depends, in Fosun's eyes we need someone who is happy not to have a lot of money, won't rock the boat and appears able to keep us up given he did exactly that with a weaker squad last season.

In Fosun's eyes hes perfectly qualified.

 

[YoungWolf]

3 fucking year deal. Are they serious?

Those 3 years in total are probably only 25% of what Lop was on for 1 year.

Why do clubs insist on giving such stupid contracts to managers, when the shelf life of most of them is probably 18 months tops?

 

[Tony Towner]

Not a lot to be said that hasn't already been done so. The 3 year contract just adds to the strangeness, you only offer that if you are convinced of his brilliance or he wouldn't take the job without it. There's not enough evidence irrespective of how he may have interviewed for the first and if it were the second we should have told him to jog on.

Despite my reservations I hope he does well, Wolves winning makes me happier than moaning about them not doing so online

 

[Lupo]

Probably on about £500k pa!

[Langers]

Best of luck, Gaz. Think you might need it.

Yep. Lop was on 8mill apparently.

 

[James]

Well here we go again… I wish Gary all the best but I expect the departures to continue. I can’t see Joao Gomes, Cunha & Nunes being happy with recent events

 

[Sniffer]

Yep. Lop was on 8mill apparently.

EEEeeek. How much would the pay off for him and his staff be?

 

[EpsomWolf]

Wishing the guy all the best but I’m asking him for the lottery numbers for Saturday.

 

[Boozad]

Wank

 

[Lupo]

EEEeeek. How much would the pay off for him and his staff be?

A lot but then we didn't actually sack him, he wanted to go so presumably a mutual parting of the ways? Would we still have to pay him something?

 

[Dire Wolf]

EEEeeek. How much would the pay off for him and his staff be?

Our entire transfer budget?

I've never understood this either. Rarely do they get poached and you get big money, unless Chelsea want them.
