Gary O’Neil

Watching some of these tactics videos on MNF, he looks like he knows his stuff but is clearly a real details man. I've always thought of him as one of those iPad managers. That's all well and good at a Premier League team like Bournemouth or Wolves where you play once a week- is he really going to be drilling all that detail into the players in a 46 match Championship season? I would really like us to look well drilled, we didn't at times last season and it was frustraing to watch, but I don't know how realistic it is
 
Who the hell is advising the board if this failure with zero experience of champ football management is being lined up, this is probably the most isopod, uninspiring appointment since David Weir…

If we’re going for young and not as experienced go for Rosenior!! Such a better option.

I’d think I’d keep Wilder if the only other option is Gary… even his name is awful….

Get a grip UTD
We'll probably not get Rosenior as he's in work in France of course and his record isn't actually anything to write home about yet. He's done ok but at hull he had a lot of backing and didn't make the play offs. Id be much happier with the QPR manager who surely must be leaving soon. He's managed in several different countries and has an impressive record. I want Wilder to stay regardless but I agree O'Neil is hardly an inspiring replacement.

Do not rate Rosenior that much, I rate him no higher than a seller or Gary oneil

Just because he's got a team to 7th in Ligue 1 with a good budget and there chelsea connections

I’d hope we are looking beyond MNF for actual management experience.

We need to Cosa Nostra Steve Cooper with an offer he cannot refuse. Divert some of the Bulgarian investment plan if we have to…!

What worries me about O'Neil is he has no record of success, the Wolves fans lost faith in him and he admitted he had disciplinary problems with the players and found some of them difficult to coach.
If we replace CW we need to move forward not take a risk in someone who can talk impressively to the media
 
even mentioned in England manager conversations.
Is this still seen as a positive?

I’d say the England job is where you go when you can’t hack club management at the top level anymore. You’ve got to be pretty inept to fail to get England’s squad to at least the quarters every tournament.
 
He wouldn’t have kept Wolves up second season
Maybe not, but his average performance over 100 games at that level (just over a point per game) says he might have. My point was that he'd need investing in just to equal those previous levels and have us surviving by the skin of our teeth, and I'm not sure he'd be the man to get us up there in the first case..

I don't know if that's sarcasm or not to be frank!?

It's bait.

Rosenior is definitely a hot young prospect. Knows ball better than Wayne, despite his Uefa A Licence.

Personally I'm not convinced at this stage re Rosenior. I remember a similar reputation for Michael Appleton and I didn't think much to him neither and I was proved right with him. We'll see with Rosenior but finishing 7th with a very expensively assembled Hull team is not pulling up any trees to me nor his short spell at Derby.

Finishing 7th with Strasbourg is decent but I've no idea on the quality of his squad. I'm not thinking wow, let's put it that way. I keep saying how much I'm impressed with Dave Challinor but because he's at Stockport he's low profile but his achievements are very impressive with several different clubs. Seven promotions with four clubs, he's got an average win percentage of 53% and he's been manager of the year 4 times. It's quite similar to what Wilder has achieved at his stage if his career but with more promotions.

Or you can have Ruben Selles or Gary O'Neil who have no promotions between them, no manager of the year awards, and four years management experience between them. But they're likely to say yes to the board. The last bit is cynical but I'm not impressed with the boards actions to say the least of late.

Sean Dyche, like him or not, has to be considered but he won't because he's not seen as progressive. He wins football matches though.

Personally I'd still stick with Wilder just in case I've not said that today! 😂

Agree about Appleton. A few years ago Karl Robinson was another being touted for a great future, actually he's still only 44 and far more experienced than O'Neil.
After a lot of careful consideration I'd only just come round to thinking we needed to move on from CW and indeed think we will but have yet to see anyone suggested who would do the job better than him.

Dave Challinor would be an excellent choice but can you imagine the uproar as he wouldn’t be fashionable enough

Totally. But he's a far better choice in my opinion than anyone else I've heard linked. If he can work with the boards recruitment approach then he'd be an excellent choice in my opinion.
 
The longer this goes on for me it is more likely that Wilder stays. I must say none of the candidates reported to be ready to step in inspire me at all, there has to be better out there, bad innit when those touted make Dyche look like a good option. :(

You’re saying Challinor would be better than all of those?

Good grief…
 
Bring it on!

Love signing a mystery player we've never heard of. Could be a gem, could be shite, who knows? All part of the fun.

Plus it makes pub chats in 10 years time a bit more fun too. Who remembers Luton Shelton and Ahmed Fathy? Certainly a lot more fun than Who remembers Geoff Horsfield and Paul Gerrard

Give me a Goran Slavkovski any day of the week.
It wouldn't be bad, if we didn't need some decent players to make the 1st team work..... Benie Traore..., Anus Slimane..., Ivo Garbage..., we dont need anymore shite, whether it fills an afternoon of dominoes and bitter or not, we need to recruit players that can hit the ground and make a difference, this AI bollocks is only any good, if the players are from leagues equivalent to ours, or atleast something very special and young, like Illiman, Blaster or Peck for example.
Oh, and Gary can fuck off, let Wilder finish the job he started.....

I'm saying he's got an excellent record managing football clubs of a small size a X budget which is not easy and he's done well everywhere he's gone.

I'm saying he has a much more impressive record than O'Neil and Sellas. I really like Sean Dyche avd would be happy with him as manager but I don't think he'll be the one the club turn to. We need a good manager over several season has proved they're a good manager. Dyche and Challinor both are that. Selles and O'Neil are far too inexperienced and haven't achieved anywhere near as much as Dyche or Challinor. I don't think what I've said is anything particularly radical or meriting a good grief response but we're all entitled to our opinion.

Sorry if the good grief upset you, that wasn’t my intention. I just think that we should be aiming higher.

We are going to differ and that’s fine👍

It didn't upset me at all but I just think it's not radical or an unreasonable shout to say Challinor is a far better candidate then the ones linked. O'Neil may have done well at wolves in his first season with a very good team and I know they sold players but I think they were in the relegation zone and four points adrift when he was sacked by wolves and we all know that the championship teams are some way off the PL ones but O'Neil bridged the gap.

Wolves fans were desperate for him to leave. We'll see but I'm very underwhelmed by O'Neil and Selles. Is this the best we can do. That is worth a good grief in my book mate!
