Would people really sign for Kevin "Sign for this club and you'll be high
and dry when I wet my pants in six weeks and walk out" Keegan now?

I think the elephant in the room is that ageing premiership footballers can
get 40k a week somewhere else.  They don't love anyone enough to take a
massive drop in wages unless they're too old to make a difference (e.g. Oleg
Luhzny).

Curbishley is the only one in that list that appeals to me.

If and when we change manager this time I'd like everyone in NSWolves to put
realistic preferences for managers.  Then, when they turn out to be pony
they aren't allowed to moan.

unfortunately there's a reason why these managers don't currently have
jobs and haven't had one for some time.  It's also the same reason why
Mick should also be unemployed they're sh!te.
 
Also unfortunately, I can't think of who we'd be able to attract, other
than a lower division manager who is doing well and wants to try and
prove themself at a higher level.
 
I wouldn't mind Houllier (at a stretch) but the French have a habit of
quitting when things get tough.

they seem to playing as if they are a established premier team?

They have to get rid of that stupid huddle they go in to before kick off!!!

They have to start tackling and not let the oppostion gain any ground 
like they have been!!!

Seb is not up to Prem standard as yet

what happened to the neck, know he was susspened back must be back now

that Halford is a waste of space.long throw or not (should be put at 
right back...if he can tackle)!!!

If Wolves are to stay up the 3 M's have to be ruthless and pull the team 
apart and decipher who can play were and then pick a sqaud that can go 
out there and play their socks off..EVERY WEEK

Look what Stoke did, their players played as if there was no tomorrow, 
tackled, ran the 90+ minutes and at the end they stayed up. If Wolves 
carry on like they are they will go down

Morgan needs to buy PREMIER players to help the cause.

I agree that there have been some weird tactical decisions but it seems no
one is willing to accept that we can't get the right players in because of
wage caps.  Mick picked those who he could afford to pay the wages of.
There's a big difference.

I genuinely think that Mick has run out of ideas tactically to complete
in this division.  Putting in a shift and hard work will only get you so
far and now that it's come to point where tactics obviously need to be
changed around, he seems devoid of ideas.  Now if it is the players at
his disposal that limit is tactical options then that is almost entirely
his own fault, if we assume that he personally selected the players he
bought.
 
If we are able and willing to get another manager in who has a better
footballing brain then maybe he'll be able to spot something in the team
that Mick hasn't, and that might just be enough to get the team playing
as if they know each other and understand how to play to each other's
strengths.  We do need to try something different and I think Saturday
showed exactly how desperate and tactically inept Mick has become.
 
Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't Mick say during the week that he'd
pulled Kightly out of the squad because he still has niggling injuries
and is off the pace to place in the Premier League?  So what was his
tactical stroke of genius on 32 minutes, bring on Kightly!!  The man's a
friggin basket case.  Morgan should help Mick pack his bag and send back
home to Barnsley where they appreciate everything grim.

The wage structure is that of a top championship team. If that is Moxey
