    I thought the clown of a chairman offered curbs the job for the last 13 games of the prem season and then he was gonna review it from there ....curbs rightfully told him to poke it

    Apparently , the Wolves chairman decided that it needed freshening up after Stale.

    "The decision was made before the game at Luton. It was not a case of him losing the dressing room because I'm told he never found the dressing room. It was supposed to be a long term plan but the players never really got what he was about."

    ouch

    Apparently, Dean Saunders is favourite. Interesting choice.

    To have been so wrong the chairman has to hold his hands up and admit a catastrophic series of decisions and resign

    I was in Cologne the day he got appointented as Wolves manager. He was sacked from there of course as they had just been relegated. The Cologne fans said he wouldnt last the season and were laughing their heads off at the appointment.

    Some appointment (e.g. Mark Hughes at QPR) go wrong, but made some sort of sense at the time. Pardew at Charlton falls into this category.

    Other appointments (Kean, Connor, Berg, Stale) made no sense at the time, you wonder what the Chairman was thinking? I can imagine the yes men around him nodding and saying what a wonderful appointment that would be...

    I wrote before the season started that ol' Stale would be a disaster. This is not a division for playing tactically complicated football, all the players capable of so doing are in the premier, Spain, Germany or Italy. Moxey the Wolves managing director has overseen a steep decline at the club. The question is how come he stays employed when managers around him are sacked.

    Forget the championship managers, there's a more urgent agenda

    They'd be stupid to appoint Saunders over O'Driscoll IMO

    Always thought they would regret sacking Mick, pleased it's gone bad for them for that reason.

    I like & rate McCarthy & would never have sacked him. I must admit I thought Solbakken was destined to fail.
    He seemed like Berg, Lee Clark, Bryan Robson etc - miserable buggers with no personality.

    Dean Saunders? Really? Don't understand some of these chairman and boards. Surely with the parachute money and decent crowds having just come down fro the PL they'd get be able to attract someone with a bit more pedigree.

    Don't particularly rate McCarthy in the EPL (he is capable of doing a job in the championship), so would have replaced him if there had been someone better available. Wolves' error was not having someone lined up to replace McCarthy when they sacked him and then not offering attractive terms to get someone else who was suitable.

    WBA seem a good example of what Wolves should be doing management wise.

    Saunders is unproven in the championship, but did well at Wrexham and is doing well at Doncaster (last season at Doncaster can be ignored given the unusual approach taken by that club last year).

    Dean Saunders = good appointment in my book.
    As said, did well at Wrexham and had to wheel and deal for a team at Donny.
    Worked hard to get to the top of the game.
    I hope he does well, obviously not to our detriment of course.

    terrible appointment from the outset. Couldn't understand why they went for a bloke with no UK experience and little pedigree. HAHA Wolves.

    5 league titles and champions league experience - obviously with hindsight it didn't work out but don't see why he was destined to fail from the outset...

    Yes, but did he win any of those titles on a cold wet night in Stoke?

    5 titles in Denmark with Copenhagen, so he didn't exactly win them with a minnow in that league. Was sacked after less than a year with Cologne, after his methods didn't work there.

    So they've brought in Dean Saunders from Doncaster.

    Quite surprised by that appointment considering they were relegated under him last season and although Donny are doing OK at the moment, it has to be said that this season's League One is very very weak compared to recent years.

    Inherited a side that had won the Danish league in both of the previous 2 seasons, so didn't really have to do much.

    Would be a bit like claiming Alex McLeish is a good manager because he won the SPL with Rangers.

    Saunders will do a good job at Wolves. He's a tough man and tactically astute. He's turned Donny from a basket case back into a decent lower league club. Donny will miss him and may well (wait for it) ......... reappoint O'Driscoll
