BlazeT44 Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 Wonder what the odds are for Luton, Sheffield United and Wolves to go down? Pretty nailed on. Brilliant news for the likes of Burnley and Everton. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilko Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 It'll be slightly interesting to see how O'Neil does, if he steers Wolves to safety that'll be two seasons in a row he'll have defied the odds and general medical/public opinion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just so fucked up system, Wolves and Everton were the two teams trying to compete and when it didn't work out they have been fucking decimated. Spend better and all that but they dared to try and now both are in danger of going down. Edited August 8, 2023 by Pata Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

How is it even this bad? I thought they invested significantly recently, just not this summer? Pulled the plug financially, not given him the funding he expected. "Doing a Lerner" as we know it round these parts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the case of Everton, they've wasted horrific amounts of money over long periods - if you spend huge amounts of money on shit players for so long, surely you can expect to dance with relegation?

Super Duper Branko Strupar Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 Must be gutting as a Wolves fan, he had them playing well above their station in quite a short time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I said that myself. It's still shit and there to take care that clubs don't even dare to try to break the 'big 6' dominance as if it goes bad they are done due to FFP and heading to the Championship.

Jaqen Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 Despite having a fair few really good technical players I've always found them painful to watch since they came back up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 They've been largely coached by fairly boring coaches. They built a decent team for the premier league while still in championship so when they came up they were well prepared. They were solid at the back with some excellent players to threaten on counter and that solidity got them far initially, but it wasn't refreshed and the Mendes signings stopped being any good and it's just curdled. I would be very surprised if they stayed up this season looks like a textbook backslide. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToonToon69 Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 Wolves have had a good run in the Premier League, but I always found them utterly dull to watch and their model unsustainable and now it seems everything is coming home to roost for them. If they get O’Neill, he’ll be gone by January and they must be one of the faves to go down now surely?! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteV Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 Molineux is a horrific stadium to visit as an away fan. Stuck along the side of pitch, which makes it more difficult to generate atmosphere, but worse is the fact you literally can’t get into any pub In Wolverhampton, bar that one by the station. Utterly ridiculous. Don’t have any particular gripe against the club/fans, but for the above, the sooner they disappear the better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd always recommend drinking in Birmingham city centre, or, even better, the Jewellery Quarter, where there are tons of very nice, very good pubs, then getting the tram or the train.

ToonToon69 Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 I’ve drank in the Billy Wright pub on a match day before, it’s a good ten to 15 minute walk to Molineux, mind that was a few years back! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a Greggs close by too if I remember right for a pre drink bit of bait. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
