Dean Saunders out!!!

who will be willie mckay puppet at donny then?

Hope Morgan has got someone lined up after last years fiasco

Micky mac would go back and save them even after the public humiliation

terry connor to make a dramatic return

I think its hilarious how many Wolves fans are prepared to row back on on MM and his sacking, the guy was bereft of ideas and abilities when he was sacked - frankly long past the time due.

Confirmed

has been getting results at rovers but not much fun to watch , certainly not very pretty to watch.
didn't want him to go but would have been happy if he went in the summer as couldn't see him as a manager in the championship.
so best of luck to wolves

Why don't Betfair do manager's markets for small clubs like Wolves as well?

we're so sh!t its very believeable

First training session at Donny - best in training wins a racehorse

Wolverhampton Wanderers manager Dean Saunders has been hailed for his bravery in deciding against making a signing in the January window.

The Wolves boss brought in only an 18-year-old Lee Evans whilst losing four players off the wage bill. And Chief Executive Jez Moxey says the notion of making a signing just to make a statement to supporters goes against the grain of their long-term strategy.

“They think: ‘He’s not done anything, what on earth has he been doing?’ - but just think from his perspective.

“He didn’t want to just do a knee-jerk reaction... act in haste repent at leisure - he didn’t want to do that,” Moxey said.

“He kept saying to me: “What is the point in taking him - he is not better than the player we’ve got”.

“I’d like the fans to try and understand, and I don’t think they always get it, that trying to build and find better players than you have already got is very difficult.

“It is masked by activity of clubs - some of whom are financially irresponsible. Some have just got so much money, especially in the Premier League,. that they go and buy players and our fans and other people think: ‘why can’t we find that player?’ - well, do you know what? Because we can’t afford £15million and £150,000 a week - that’s why.

“To try to find the player that you can afford that fits in with the dressing room protocols etcetera - it just is not easy.”

Saunders said he had been quoted 30 per cent higher prices in the window.

But Moxey said those figures were more figurative: “I just think sometimes we hang on to words and say it must be 100 per cent true,” he said.

“I don’t think we were worried about making a statement. I think it is doing the right business, getting the right players in - not to make a statement about making the team better. I’m not fussed about making a statement.

“What we need to do is win some football matches.

“Did we try? Yes but sometimes people don’t want to believe what we say. We tried to make signings and prices for players coming out of contract were just so ridiculous and they wanted so much money as well, that we’ve got to try not to ruin a fragile dressing room anyway.”

Moxey continued: “There was a very clearly laid out plan for January regardless of who our manager was that we wanted to reduce the size of the squad. People will say ‘cut away the dead wood’, and we wanted to reduce the squad by more than we did.

"We were not able to do that. We wanted to shift two, three, four - maybe even more players - there is a feeling at the club that too many players just doesn’t help the morale, doesn’t help their own self esteem.

"We’ve got training sessions with the manager playing with 22 players and eight are sitting on the sidelines twiddling their thumbs.”

Dean Saunders has got a good record at Wolves, hasn't he. Doesn't seem to be being ridiculed in quite the same way Terry Connor was

hmmm

yes, it's easy to tell what he's getting at sadly

Still seething over that one Lost a bank it took me over six months to create.

think he's with Mick at Ipswich
