Stale Solbakken - who he? Unknown almost in UK and no managerial experience here whatsoever. Presided over numerous recent disciplinary problems at Cologne, though, and left (he claims sacked) in extremely acrimonious circumstances after only a relatively short time in charge. Sounds a...

I hate to break bad news to you, but Wolves have not gone backwards - or not in terms of so-called quality, technique or effort. The problem started when we were promoted and Mick bought-in a bucketful of cheaper players (by Prem standards). All bar a couple of these had never played for...

So, Morgan has gone for the cheapest option yet again. He has appointed Connor, as he and Moxey could have done on day 1 after Mick's departure. Had they done this, they would have saved all the embarrassment the club has since had to endure. As an example of Premiership club board...

Now Wolves have added Walter Smith to the list of managers who have told Morgan and Moxey to take a hike! He turned down both short-term and long-term contract options, apparently. Are we to be surprised? Why would a man with his CV decide to ruin it with a relegation-bound club who wouldn't...

Well, here we have it. We've been turned down, effectively, by Warnock, Curbishley and now Bruce. Would you not have thought that Moxey might have sounded them out before formally approaching them and releasing to the world his thoughts on the criteria necessary for a new Wolves' manager...

So, what's Mick's reaction to the increasingly dangerous league position to which Wolves have fallen, with some really tough matches upcoming. Apparently it is to agree the princely sum of "around £200.000" for Eggert Jonsson, 23, from Hearts, and previously an Icelandic second division club...

If we are to believe many of the tabloids, Vedran Corluka will be available in January on a loan basis from Spurs. The player allegedly wants more opportunities in the Premiership to help retain his place in his country's National squad. Given Wolves' defensive weaknesses, might this not be...

Well, Mick has constantly said that 17th in the Premiership will do. Unsurprisingly, with that degree of ambition in the club's THIRD year back in the Premiership, that's exactly where they stand - 17th with Chelsea coming up next and Man. U. soon. Let's not kid ourselves by saying Wolves...

Am I glad Mick has got a quality central defender? Yes, if he proves to be that. His former playing relationship with Dann makes him harder to evaluate on his own merits. As a pairing, they did well enough for much of last season, although I thought their performances tapered off somewhat...

So that's it then, is it? You're quite content to "flirt with relegation" for a third successive year in the Premiership. With that being the height of your ambition, I'd say you don't deserve success. Instead, just place your blind faith in a manager who has one of the worst Premiership win...

Now it's Anthony Pilkington from Huddersfield in Diviion 1. Or would have been if the player had not preferred Norwich! What the hell is Mick playing at? According to Moxey, the aim this summer was to recruit quality rather than quantity - to try and bring in the bit of genuine Premiership...

Lee Wallace? Who he? According to Wikipedia, he's a Hearts player recently getting over cruciate knee ligament problems and with some "history" of alleged gun offences and police involvement. Matt Mills? Alleged Wolves bid of £3 million rejected by Reading. Must be a useful...

I can easily believe Doyle could be of interest to Wenger. It is well known that Arsenal are seeking an out-and-out, clinical striker to finish off their often-superb approach play and it could easily be that Wenger sees Doyle as the man to feed such a striker, whilst contributing perhaps...

Anyone feel that Bolo Zenden may have something to offer Wolves on a relatively cheap 1-year contract? He's almost 35, true, but has bags of Premiership experience and played very well in many games last season. He'd surely relish a final year in the Premiership and would probably take...

If you really believe any club will pay £1.3m for Halford, £2m for Mouyokolo, £1.3m for Keogh or £850,000 for Maierhofer,then you really are looking through rose-tinted (or should it be gold-tinted?) glasses. £2.5m for all of them would be a max. They, and a bundle of others at Wolves...
